They’ll just say it was a coverup. They apparently have nothing but time, internet access, and attention deficit disorder affecting their reasoning faculties.

Nothing shuts up Truthers. This certainly won’t.

Come now, we all know this article has been written by Cheney himself..........all the while knowing he himself hired the trade center bombers from CIA operatives to do his bidding......

Very interesting.

This is only the second time in history that fire has melted steel. < /Odonnel>

[Ronin]

The fact that nothing suspicious was found just shows how clever they were!

Where’s my tin-foil beanie...

"fires fueled by office furnishings"

what about the two huge fuel tanks (around 18,000 gallons each) they used for emergency generators that was under this tower?

I see they’ve dragged Loel Barr into this.

Those drawings don’t fool me for a moment.

I bet he’s CIA. I bet he worked on the animation for Flight 800.

"It is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved," stated actress and TV personality Rosie O'Donnell of ABC's The View in March 2007. "For the first time in history, steel was melted by fire. It is physically impossible," she said.

Wow, I guess all those big vats of molten steel you see in a steel plant aren't steel at all but some other metal since fire can't melt steel according to Rose O'donut, worlds leading expert on structural collapse./SAR

I have thought since she first said this that this ranks as one of the stupidest statements of all times, not the stupidest but really, really close.

At first I wondered why the author included such a stupid quote and then I realized he couldn’t resist its compelling and all encompassing stupidity.

Quite nice of him to give Rosie her due, really. :0)

[Not A Snowbird]

I can’t wait for the DUmmie reaction.

Thanks for posting this, but it won't quiet the Loons.

I saw a T-shirt that said:

"When they make something IDIOTPROOF,
they'll just make a better IDIOT";

it seems to apply about the 9/11 Conspiracy nuts.

This Rosie thing (not person) is astonishingly stupid. I melt steel all the time with my torch and its cutting FLAME.

Why do people even watch/listen to her?

After 7 hours of uncontrolled fires, a steel girder on Floor 13 lost its connection to one of the 81 columns supporting the building. Floor 13 collapsed, beginning a cascade of floor failures to Floor 5. Column 79, no longer supported by a girder, buckled, triggering a rapid succession of structural failures that moved from east to west. All 23 central columns, followed by the exterior columns, failed in what's known as a "progressive collapse"—that is, local damage that spreads from one structural element to another, eventually resulting in the collapse of the entire structure.

"Huh?"

In laymans terms, THE DOMINO EFFECT.

This isn’t going to change anyone’s mind.
