I could have swore I SAW two planes run into towers. But what do I know.

How does she think they make steel in the first place, with magic?

Alchemy.

Rosie O’Donnell said that 9/11 was the first time that fire melted steel,

To be fair to Rosie, and she needs all the help she can get, she merely garbled the "Truthers" argument that the temperature of jet fuel burning in air is not enough to melt structural steel. And that's probably true, but it is enough to weaken the steel. Weakened steel, combined with all the structural damage, is what brought the towers down, plus possibly another effect called a eutectic reaction. This includes the shorter one, WTC 7, which was damaged by the fall of (one of) the twin towers and also burned.

I’d still like to see Rosie go back in time and explain that one to Union Army Soldiers who during Sherman’s march to the sea made “Sherman Neckties” by heating metal train rails and bending them around telegraph poles. She can explain to them why they can’t do what they’re doing as they only had wood to soften the metal. They would probably look at each other and wonder who is that guy.

just like the Soviet newspaper Pravda, the Russian word for "truth."

And just as the Russians said about Pravda, "there is no pravda in Pravda", there is no truth in the moonbats' Truth.

There's a good "debunking" of the Moonbats ruminations on The Popular Mechanics site

How sad that a show like this is even necessary

It won't matter. The Bermuda triangle has been fully debunked numerous times, as has the Roswell UFO, alien abductions, crop circles, crystals and pyramid power, and a host of other fantasies. The true believers walk away untouched by human reason.

No you won’t prevent numbskulls from believing whatever nonsense they want to, but you can counter the tendencies for these delusions from percolating into the public conscientiousness.

The Kennedy conspiracy theories are believed by a substantial fraction of people, most people who have heard of Sacco and Vanzetti think, contrafactually, that they were railroaded.

911 was just a distraction to cover up the truth of the JFK assassination and Roswell.

Remember when no one was sure where Bush was hours after the initial plane crash?

They flew him back to NYC and in the basement of the Towers he detonate the explosion that took the buildings down.

So there are multiple videos of building 7 going down in a matter of a few seconds, collapsing just like an intentionally demolished building would go down..

A 50 story large office complex gone in about 5 seconds...

That fast... Just like that...

Now can someone explain the physics of how it's possible for an entire building to collapse in a matter of seconds, when there was no major damage to the building. How does the entire building fall at exactly the same moment?

How does that happen without intentional, internal weakening of the support columns, that couldn't have been done by the small amount of damage to that building...

Especially when it's never happened before to a steel skyscraper in human history...

Make sure you've seen the vast amount of footage available of this almost instantly collapsed 50 story building..

Agreed.
People tend to believe whatever they want, regardless of cold hard facts right in their faces.

Moonbats especially so.
