The whole “no steel structure building ever collapsed by fire” line just shows how stupid they were. I can’t remember who it was, but we have one FReeper who was a fire investigator and posted links to dozens upon dozens of similar structured buildings collapsing in a fire, including one church where you can see the metal rafters twisted and warped by the heat of the fire- a regular structure fire mind you, nothing as dramatic as the jet fuel fire at the twin towers.
There’s no doubt that people WANT to believe stuff like that.
It makes them feel smart & superior.
The alex jones websites tap into that. It’s quite similar to the control methods used at the universities - “if you believe us, you’re smart, if you don’t, you’re dumb”. Everyone wants others to think they’re smart.
Honestly, what is a “truther?” The opposite of a “liar?” (which it should be).
There was asbestos covering the metal, but that was taken off which then made the steel vulnerable.
Horrible irony. 3000 dead because they thought the asbestos was too great a risk.
Very sad.
In a moment there will be a bunch of arabs and leftists along to tell you that prior to the fire, Jews were observed bearing coffee pots to all four cornes of the building, as well as to all the elevators.
Alex Jones, pick up the white courtesy phone, please. Alex Jones...
Why would anyone not think our government was complicit? They haven't changed much and we're still in peril.
It’s a waste to try and argue with or educate a “911 Truther-Liar”. To me, they are in the same societal gutter as Pedophiles; sick, dangerous, perverse, paranoid, narcissistic, obtuse, and delusional. They should not be talked to - only talked “about” and marginalised for the destructive losers and cowards that they are. Alex Jones is damn lucky I was not around when he got in Michelle Malkin’s face here just blocks from where I worked in 2008...damn lucky.
We have a bunch of Ron Paul idiots here who believe that Bush blew up the Twin Towers. There is nothing that you can say that will change their minds.
Every one of them is a paranoid conspiracy freak. They need to feel like they have the REAL truth. They are a pretty pathetic bunch.

I do believe that it defies physics....."

Shortly thereafter, we had a fire that destroyed the garage. Afterward, that massive steel spring was so annealed and weakened that I was able to straighten it right out -- with only my bare hands -- and that was after it had cooled...
Don't tell me that fire can't weaken steel!
BTTT!
