Former Governor Jesse Ventura Says WTC Collapse a Controlled Demolition

AUSTIN, Texas, April 3 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- According to an appearance on the Alex Jones Show, former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura blasted the official 9/11 story - citing that evidence disproves the government's claims that jet fuel melted the Twin Towers' steel girders.
"How could those buildings fall at the speed of gravity - if you put a stopwatch on them both of those World Trade Center buildings were on the ground in ten seconds - how can that be?" asked Ventura. "Never before in the annals of history has a fire caused a steel structure building to fall to the ground like these two did."
Ventura said he was convinced the collapses of the towers and WTC Building 7 were too similar to the controlled demolition of Las Vegas hotels. Ventura has experience with explosives from Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL training and believes unequivocally the buildings were deliberately imploded.
"I was on the site within two weeks after it happened and I saw none of these pancakes - wouldn't they all be piled up in a huge mass on the ground and yet everything was blown into dust - when you look at it from that aspect none of it makes any sense," Ventura told the Alex Jones Show.
Ventura expressed regret that he had initially believed the official story because he could have used his power as governor to raise pointed questions in the media.
"I kicked myself when it initially happened that the light didn't go off but I was so shocked that this thing had even taken place that I apologize for not being more aware," said Ventura, adding that watching Loose Change at the insistence of his son was part of the catalyst for his wake up call.
The Governor's bold comments about 9/11 come on the heels of similar views expressed by American icon Willie Nelson during an interview on the same radio show in February.

Ventura was never a Navy SEAL for one minute in his miserable life. During his active duty period, he was a member of a west coast Navy Underwater Demolition Team, at a time when there was a VAST difference between UDTs and SEALs. This was during the VN war, and SEALs were engaged in combat and getting killed, UDTs were peripherally in VN, but not on combat patrols, and with almost zero combat casualties. At any rate, Ventura could have walked 100 yards from his UDT to ST-1 at any time and volunteered for a tranfer——but he didn’t. The closest he came to combat was barfights in whore houses in the Philippines, and working as a bouncer in a strip club in San Diego.
To repeat: Ventura was NEVER a Navy SEAL, not for one minute. Saying, “Well, the UDTs were about the same as SEALs” is total bullsh1t, at a time when SEALs were up to their eyeballs in combat, and the UDTs were the “safe” place to ride out the VN war, while still being able to say they were Navy frogmen. Frogmen, yes. SEALs, NO.
Well, hey! I guess not.
See my comment about Ventura the fake SEAL.
The ancients KNEW you could soften and work iron with fire — but modern sophisticated Jesse doesn’t..
Jesse is from the same school of dumb asses as Rosy “the ugly lesbian” O’Donnell...
I know. That's why I posted it that way. But I suppose that wouldn't be known be alot of people.
So Ventura is a tard after all.
I’m not surprised. He’s not even relevant.
One thing that does pique my interest though is this desire by the MSM to interview and brag about special forces. The same MSM who don’t believe anything the military says has their head so far up the collective arses of the Venturas of the world that anything they say is golden.
All objects fall to Earth at the same speed, regardless of size. As demonstrated by Galileo.

The conspiracy wackos don't want to hear this, however, so they just point to the similarities and ignore everything else about the collapse that does not resemble a controlled demolition.
“And he expected what? The building to fall at faster than gravity???”
I don’t think that’s what he was saying. The fastest that the top floor could reach the ground would be if it accelerated downward with the acceleration of gravity, or thirty two feet per second squared. That would be the same time that any weight would fall the same distance. (I don’t know how tall the buildings were, but that minimum t[me is computable and absolute if you know the height).
What he seems to be suggesting is that if the building collapsed, with each floor collapsing the floor underneath, it would have collapsed slower. He is correct about that, but I have know idea how the math works out.
It could, however, be proven mathematically one way or the other.
See #113. Successive floor collapses would have the same effect as air friction, and would slow the fall. but I have no clue how much or even if it would be measurable.
I suspect that it would, and that the building would fall at something less than the acceleration of gravity.

In a vacuum, in our atmosphere, not even close to being true.
Jesse Ventura: actor, politician, structural engineer, architect, moron.
there is no such thing as the speed of gravity.
Gravity is an acceleration, a= 32 ft/sec/sec
Top floor is 1355 ft high
The equation is 1355 = 1/2 a t^2
solving for t, you get 9.2 seconds for time it would take top floor to reach street level if it was a free fall.
Ventura is an idiot, unfortunately proving Garrison Keilor right.
The Body certainly ain’t The Brain.
I think Jesse was in one too many headlocks on the mat...
The speed of gravity. The speed of gravity! And what speed would that be, may I ask??? This guy is on speed, I think.
