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.

Dear Former Wrestler and Governor Ventura,
Awed as I am by your knowledge of physics I was wondering if you could help my daughter and explain to her the difference between mass and weight since you seem to have plenty of both.

Awed in the land of lots of lakes
Doesn't really make sense to people who don't buy into it, but to them, it's easier.
Stop Jihad Now!
All objects fall to Earth at the same speed, regardless of size. As demonstrated by Galileo.
I live in this godawful state, however I REFUSE to consider myself to be a Minnesooootan. Still flying the Texas flag. And what am I doing up here? Doing the work that Minnesotans WILL NOT DO. Yes, there are many up here who believe that 911 was an inside job by the eeeevilll BushCheneyRove. And some of these claim to be engineers! Is there a moonbat section that is part of the Minnesota PE exam?
Also, why is it I never hear a structural engineer making this claim?
This is a baboon's ass after too many 'Roids
Didn't you get the memo? The towers were brought down by enormous superconducting magnets in the basement. The entire installation was cleverly disguised as a subway station, fooled people for decades.
And the steel didn't melt. It didn't have to in order to structurally fail. It weaken as it gets hotter and wasn't designed to see the kind of damage or heat that all that jet fuel caused. And once the supports failed on one floor, all that weight slammed down on the floor below with a force way beyond any reasonable design parameters for a building.
Why hadn't we ever seen this kind of event before? Well this type of building hasn't been around all that long, and no one had ever gotten around to adding that much highly flammable fuel to the tons of flammable (desks, chairs files full of papers) already there. Lets just hope we never get to see this again.
AMEN to that!
Steroids have rotted his brain.
He probably means the floors. Each floor was a ‘pancake’.
When I was in Minneapolis in 1997, I was amazed how beautiful and nice the women were.
True, but pancaking buildings don't and ones subjected to demolition do. The key problem with his argument is that these buildings didn't fall at free-fall. The thing is that once it started, the bolts holding the thing together did little to impede the momentum of the huge amount of mass impact each subsequent floor. Still, it was slowed, and would not have been in a controlled demolition.
I thought he was relating to the demise of the World Wrestling Congress, or whatever they call that circus sideshow.
He shoulda stayed inside the square ring.
I hear he’s thinking of running for Senator. This position could seriously cut into Stuart Smalley’s moonbat vote.
First of all how fast should a building collapse Jesse. As far as you being a "Brain trust of knowledge" (seeing how you screwed up Minnasota so bad) I wouldn't be using your Wikipedia like mind for any bashton of knowledge. The floors where not gurdered, they were trusses. When 70,000 gallons a fuel starts burning, the steel becomes weak. add on an additional 50-70 tons of jet parts suddenly thrown on the floors, they collapse. WTC was on fire due to the debrees of the other 2 buildings. This is what it looked like after the 1st 2 WTC's collapsed

Each pile was over 40 feet high. Hardly a pancake....like your head
