"And why haven't you answered my question anout the firefighters? Either the men of the FDNY (and more than 99% of all firefighters, materials scientists, architects, etc.) disagree with your assessment,..."

Maybe they're among the majority of Americans who do not believe the "official"story of what happened on 911.

A new scientific opinion poll has emerged which declares that only 16% of people in America now believe the official government explanation of the September 11th 2001 terror attacks.

According to the new New York Times/CBS News poll, only 16% of Americans think the government is telling the truth about 9/11 and the intelligence prior to the attacks:

Question asked

"Do you think members of the Bush Administration are telling the truth, are mostly telling the truth but hiding something, or are they mostly lying?

Telling the truth 16%
Hiding something 53%
Mostly lying 28%
Not sure 3%"
The 84% figure mirrors other recent polls on the same issue. A Canadian Poll put the figure at 85%. A CNN poll had the figure at 89%. Over 80% supported the stance of Charlie Sheen when he went public with his opinions on 9/11 as an inside job.

Help me out here, there's something else I just don't understand. If you think Bush was behind the attacks, how can you be comfortable being a Bush supporter and a Bush voter? If you think the Israelis were behind it, why would you have a tagline asking us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem? Talk about compartmentalization..."

Help me out here - in my comment, did I say Bush was behind it? Did I say Israel was behind it?

Stick to the structural math. The buldings do not fall down. Can you show us any report in history where a burning skyscraper just fall down from a fire, let alone three in one day?

If the towers frame work "pancaked" in collapsing (as shown on tv) it does not account for the complete disintigration of the support columns.

The PM article was beneath the dignity of engineering disciplines as evidenced by it's inability to be honest.

You can not watch the video of #7 going down and say it was so badly damaged that it fell on it's own accord. Of course there is the oft reported analysis that maybe it fell in sympathy with its tower brothers.

"When you do grow up, I certainly hope you are capable of improving on brilliant statements like your oft-repeated "buildings don't fall down".

The science of "buildings don't fall down" always works! If one of my physics students tried made the thesis that building #7 was damaged and had a fire and therefore "fell down" - he/she would be bounced from the program without a degree.

Exd 3:15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

No mohommad - no Allah!

"You pea-brained little dolt. If it was raining soup, you and your Truther buddies would be standing outside with forks in your sticky little hands."

Gol - when I grow up I hope I can think up brilliant statements like that!

Kerry, the intellectual that he is alway rises to the occasion and proves he's as ignorant as he first let on.

The most preposporous of all lies...watch the video of the building coming down and you'll know this "official" story is pure .BS

"WTC 7 Collapse CLAIM: Seven hours after the two towers fell, the 47-story WTC 7 collapsed. According to 911review.org: "The video clearly shows that it was not a collapse subsequent to a fire, but rather a controlled demolition: amongst the Internet investigators, the jury is in on this one."

FACT: Many conspiracy theorists point to FEMA's preliminary report, which said there was relatively light damage to WTC 7 prior to its collapse. With the benefit of more time and resources, NIST researchers now support the working hypothesis that WTC 7 was far more compromised by falling debris than the FEMA report indicated. "The most important thing we found was that there was, in fact, physical damage to the south face of building 7," NIST's Sunder tells PM. "On about a third of the face to the center and to the bottom--approximately 10 stories--about 25 percent of the depth of the building was scooped out." NIST also discovered previously undocumented damage to WTC 7's upper stories and its southwest corner.

NIST investigators believe a combination of intense fire and severe structural damage contributed to the collapse, though assigning the exact proportion requires more research. But NIST's analysis suggests the fall of WTC 7 was an example of "progressive collapse," a process in which the failure of parts of a structure ultimately creates strains that cause the entire building to come down. Videos of the fall of WTC 7 show cracks, or "kinks," in the building's facade just before the two penthouses disappeared into the structure, one after the other. The entire building fell in on itself, with the slumping east side of the structure pulling down the west side in a diagonal collapse."BS

According to NIST, there was one primary reason for the building's failure: In an unusual design, the columns near the visible kinks were carrying exceptionally large loads, roughly 2000 sq. ft. of floor area for each floor. "What our preliminary analysis has shown is that if you take out just one column on one of the lower floors," Sunder notes, "it could cause a vertical progression of collapse so that the entire section comes down.".BS

There are two other possible contributing factors still under investigation: First, trusses on the fifth and seventh floors were designed to transfer loads from one set of columns to another. With columns on the south face apparently damaged, high stresses would likely have been communicated to columns on the building's other faces, thereby exceeding their load-bearing capacities.

Second, a fifth-floor fire burned for up to 7 hours. "There was no firefighting in WTC 7," Sunder says. Investigators believe the fire was fed by tanks of diesel fuel that many tenants used to run emergency generators. Most tanks throughout the building were fairly small, but a generator on the fifth floor was connected to a large tank in the basement via a pressurized line. Says Sunder: "Our current working hypothesis is that this pressurized line was supplying fuel [to the fire] for a long period of time."

WTC 7 might have withstood the physical damage it received, or the fire that burned for hours, but those combined factors--along with the building's unusual construction--were enough to set off the chain-reaction collapse."

BS

It's all going to come out.

"Spencer goes on to explain how Muhammad became a prophet, and how he tried at first to spread his message by peaceful means -- including attempts to convince Jews and Christians that he was a prophet in the line of the Old Testament prophets and Jesus (whom he considered a prophet, not the Son of God). When his efforts failed to bring them, along with the pagan Arabs of his native tribe, into his new religion, he became a warlord -- killing, slaughtering and beheading in order to convert others or to force them to submit to him and to the religion given to him by Allah. "

Rev 3:14-16 And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God:

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.
Rev 3:17-20 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked:
As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

The church at Laodecia - the last of the church ages. So steeped in their own self-righteous traditions and so ashamed of their Savior that He's on the outside looking in!
