Subject: Re: [LPNY DISCUSS] WTC Collapse WAS Re: Nolan vs. Russo Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2004 23:23:58 -0400 To: From: Bob Armstrong There is a line on what I consider so absurd as to not be worth wasting time pursuing . ( Right now I'm immersed in I.M. Campbell's classic text on Energy and the Atmosphere , that's where there is a dissonance between my understanding of the essential physical balance and the claimed effects . ) The brilliance of Al Quida's plan was its utter simplicity . I made an error about your alternative involving secreting kilograms of thermite into the WTC . It would have had to be megagrams . Nuts . How ? Why ? And when the hell was all this suppose to happen ? Timed to coordinate with the crashing of the planes ? If they had not hit , would these planted charges been left ( somehow hidden ) for some indeterminate time til a future attack - or blown immediately . Silly . Silly . Silly . The idea that they don't know what the plane was that hit the pentagon ? Absurd . http://physics911.org is a crackpot site . How about crop-circles anyone ? And we've all seen the towers fall , again and again . I didn't stay outside to watch . ( See http://cosy.com/y01/d0911.htm . ) I broke down and spent 5 minutes Googling . See = http://www.tms.org/pubs/journals/JOM/0112/Eagar/Eagar-0112.html Journal of Materials , for some RATIONAL Science . To quote= just one sentence , "To summarize all of these points, a 500,000 t structure has too much inertia to fall in any direction other than nearly straight down." This tragedy was not the product of some Byzantine complex Rube Goldberg plan with many potential points of discovery and failure ; it was brilliantly simple . -- On Fri, 30 Apr 2004 01:26:15 -0000, rhymetofree6 wrote: >=A0You are afraid Russo will get us into trouble if he is= nomininated >=A0and says what he has said, only that the information must be >=A0examined.
