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.
Yes, the stupidity of the truthers was laughable. Anyone who knows anything about the fire service, structural integrity or properties of steel knew right away what took place. I’ve seen very large steel roof beams twisted like pretzels after a major fire, retired from fire service.
Honestly, what is a “truther?” The opposite of a “liar?” (which it should be).
A “Truther” is someone who believes that 9/11 was caused by a) George W. Bush, b) the Mossad, or c) [Insert your favorite bogeyman here], and NOT by Arabs flying hijacked airplanes. They are not well people.
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.
LOL! Right on.
They're nutjob conspiracy theorists that belong in a padded room. :)
Heh Heh Heh
Could be and won’t argue with that. :-)
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.
When does Lootie show up?
Alex Jones, pick up the white courtesy phone, please. Alex Jones...
what
Why would anyone not think our government was complicit? They haven't changed much and we're still in peril.
LOL! I’d bet Alex could whip up an answer for this in less than a minute.
The heat does not twist or warp the steel. It's the stress from gravity on the weight of the structure and what it carries that does that. The heat simply reduces the stress the steel can carry.
"Liberals" - they're actually tyrants
"Progressives" - they digress into spiritual and political darkness
Intellectual elite theyre the vanguard of irrational beliefs having nothing to do intelligent reason or truth.
Stimulus Phony term that does not stimulate anything expect raising taxes which is its real purpose.
The People The government.
Im sure someone has a whole litany of ex-Soviet Communist terms used to justify oppression and death of its citizens.
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.
