Muslims are (probably) not to blame for bringing down the WTC buildings after all," Jones writes.

Well, this is coming from a physics professor of BYU. I never paid too much attention to the conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11, so I don't know if this is anything new or not. Needless to say, I was a little surprised to see this in Deseret News, coming from a BYU physics prof.

[CindyDawg]

Again? Are you going to stay and discuss this? Why is this suddenly "news" today?

[bnelson44]

What would a nuclear physicist know more about how buildings fall when they blow up than, say, a structural engineer?

I have a white salamander that wants to talk to this guy.

The construction of the WTC towers was different than most buildings. When one floor went, it was a given that others would follow, and a complete collapse would likely result.

I'm willing to listen to just about any theory, but in this instance I believe the postulator is not only wrong, but it tragicly feeds the mindset that Moslems didn't do this, we (or some unseen force) did.

Nonsense!

Okay, who's got the graphic of the "Not This S%%t Again!" guy?

Mr. Atta, Is that you?

Apparently, Prof doesn't subscribe to Popular Mechanics.

"Muslims are (probably) not to blame for bringing down the WTC buildings after all," Jones writes.

It just goes to show, you can find someone to believe in ANYTHING, no matter how preposterous. Amazing how the prepositioned explosives in the base of the buildings caused them to collapse from the top down. It also ignores the rather obvious explosions caused by aircraft ramming into the top floors, or was that staged, too?

Yet another good reason to eliminate tenure.

"It is quite plausible that explosives were pre-planted in all three (WTC) buildings," BYU physics professor Steven E. Jones says

I sure hope they were PRE-planted because if they had been POST-planted there would have been no buildings to put them in. What a bufoon.

[MediaMole]

The guy is a nut. He needs to retire or have his tenure yanked.

That and a good slap upside the head.

I would like to ask you what the answer is for those brought down Pan Am flight 93? Isn't it interesting that the Moslems on that plane brought it down, and nobody can't find some bogus story to explain that away? Failing that, how can anyone plausibly deny a moslem component to the WTC attacks?

IDs were provided. We know who they were. We know what their plans were. We know what training they received. We know what training they didn't receive.

[ModelBreaker]

The prof has a political agenda. "Muslims are not responsible." But if that were true, then how did Atta et al know just when to fly the planes into the WTC as a diversion. If it was a controlled demolition with 'diversions', the folks doing the diversions were in on it. So now the bozos will need a conspiracy between W and Mohammed Atta or, alternatively, Israel and Mohammed Atta as a necessary precondition of their cases.

Also, what about the pentagon and flight 93?

If there were pre-planted explosives, they were planted by TROP.

Well, this is pretty typical and scientific.

"It is quite plausible that explosives were pre-planted in all three buildings and set off after the two plane crashes — which were actually a diversion tactic," he writes. "Muslims are (probably) not to blame for bringing down the WTC buildings after all," Jones writes.

What a freakin' idiot. Even in the highly unlikely event that there were pre-planted explosives, how does that absolve "Muslims"? How does he make that leap? Is he suggesting that the very same morning that Muslim terrorists flew planes into the towers, Eskimos just happened to set off pre-planted explosives in the very same place.

I must say that I'm not impressed with BYU's faculty hiring practices.
