Re: Flight 93 on A&E



- Molten metal found in the basement of the WTC suggests that the commonly used explosive thermite may be responsible for the collapse. 

Thermite is an explosive?  Does this idiot know what defines an
explosive?  it is the propagation of a shock wave through a
medium, releasing energy in the form of high pressure gas.

Has anyone EVER succeded in blowing something up with thermite?


And it took 4 years to learn of this?  Ya, right.

- It requires temperatures of at least 5,000 fahrenheit to melt steel. 


And yet, steel loses it's structural strength _well_ below that point.
That's all I needed to see, this guy is the usual clueless tinfoil hat
type.


Diesel jet fuel does not reach these temperatures and the fires in the buildings were short lived. Firefighter tape recordings 

Yup, just hold a piece of structural steel in the exhaust of a jet
engine, or a Diesel engine running at power, for that matter, and
see how long it lasts.


I've been a firefighter for, er, 14 years.  Never carried a tape
recorder, nor have I seen anything of the sort advertised or at trade
shows.

I suspect he means the dispatcher's log tapes. And, of course, since
the buildings were pretty completely severed except for many of the
columns, which were on the outer perimiter, unlike practically all other buildings, the emergency crews could not get above the lowest floor
of the impact area. They had no idea whatsoever what was going on on
the floors above there, because they couldn't reach them without a
helicopter. Since people were JUMPING out of the building to avoid
the fire, I think there WAS a fire still going on up there. And, the
collapse BEGAN near the very top of the building, not at the impact
floors.

- Buildings that collapse without the aid of explosives produce large piles of in-tact concrete and do not turn to dust as they are falling, as was witnessed on 9/11. 



Most building that collapse without the aid of explosives aren't 1/4
mile tall.

Yeah, we have absolutely NO experience whatsoever in taking down any
occupied building this tall, by ANY means!

We will continue to track the progress of Jones' investigation and further expand on this story as and when it develops. 


I'm sure some people will, yes.  There's people who think Elvis is still
alive, too.


No, no, they have PROOF!  Umm, yeah, right.
