I was right. I didn't want to know. These people need to be committed.
The towers exceeded their design specs in these cases-- each one withstood the impact of a plane bigger than a Boeing 707.
As others have pointed out countless times, it wasn't the "impact" that brought them down.
Now, if you want to talk about environmental regulations that stopped the use of asbestos about half way through construction (around the 60th floors) as being a factor....
;o)
Then there's the whole problem of having a perjuror be the chief law enforcement officer of the nation. Clinton make Vic Mackey look like Joe Friday.
I took a look to see if the DUmmies had come up with anything even KOokier in the last few days. Sure enough, there's now a long THREAD for DUmmies who wish to "Learn the truth that NO BOEING 757 CRASHED at Shanksville". As predicted by the very first DUmmie respondent to the thread, Skinner squirreled it away in the crazy-aunt-attic that is the SEPTEMBER 11 Forum
Yeesh!
I finally got around to watching this, and second the recommendation.
I especially love the part where Penn, what little patience he has with this nonsense stretched to the breaking point by some crackpot who says that Flight 93 was landed at a "secret government base" and the passengers are still alive somewhere. Penn's response was a hearty "F*(# YOU!!" followed by the wish that this jackass would someday meet some of the loved ones of the Flight 93 passengers, just to see if he has the gall to spew this crap to their faces.
Very NSFW, but well worth a look at home.
Pure idiocy.... This is all stuff to sell books and videotapes to the credulous.(If anybody knows "pure idiocy", it's DUmmie benburch.)
Why was this dumped in the 9/11 forum?
DU policy. All nutcase CT material goes here with the 9/11 nutcase conspiracy material.
So the point IS to discredit 9-11 conspiracy thinking by lumping it together with obvious crackpot theories.
What's next? Hollow Earth, Flat Earth, Planet X, Bush created the tsunami?(Er, I think that last one is DU ORTHODOXY.)
Democratic Underground shits on the victims of 9/11 every time they do this.
(How about "every time they post another crackpot LIHOP/MIHOP conspiracy theory"?)
Do they do this often? It seems disrespectful and disruptive to both discussions.
(I am reminded of the old story about the insane asylum with two patients who thought they were Napoleon. The asylum put them both in the same room. Eventually, one of them decided that he must be Napoleon's brother... he was the one who eventually got cured.)
Wow. The bombed towers theory is even too nutty for benburch...
No, it's the "Lost City On Mars" kookery that's too nutty for benburch. He's complaining about the fact that the 9/11 conspiracy theories (which, in benburch's world, are legitimate historical scholarship) are being tainted by association (like the other such cases you noted in your earlier post).
Correction: After reading the thread, it turns out that both the Lost City On Mars and the Hidden Bombs In The Twin Towers theories are too nutty for benburch. So, benburch, if you're lurking here, I hereby apologize for thinking that you're crazier than you actually are.
