JIM MEIGS AND DAVID DUNBAR OF POPULAR MECHANICS appeared on PBS to debate the Loose Change folks regarding 9/11 conspiracy theories. You can see the Video HERE

Everyone knows that the plane parts from the pentagon were photoshopped into the pictures taken around the area where the tomahawk missile hit /s

So even when confronted with scientific fact, this is this comment on the right side of the screen..

"The first televised debate between the 911 truth movement and the Popular Mechanics propagandists."

No bias in the posters politics, eh?

Reminds me of the cartoon with the woman covering her ears going LA LA LA LA LA LA LA...

I'm sorry, "democracy now" is the very worst. I beg you, please, don't promote ANYTHING from them.

[cripplecreek]

The loose change idiots sound like college kids claiming to be experts devoid of expertise.

A 500 ton aircraft,carrying 50,000 gallons of jet fuel crashed into the upper portion of a tall building at 550mph.You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand how such an incident can,particularly after the 50,000 gallons of jet fuel was able to burn for an hour or more,cause said building to collapse.

So unless these clowns convince me that was CIA agents piloting those planes,then these whackjobs shout STFU!

And as for 7 World Trade Center,I just saw the other day that the reason for that collapse was that right under the building was stored a huge amount of some sort of petroleum product (can't recall what kind) that caught fire and cooked the foundation and lower portions of the structure,causing it to collapse.

[ChadGore]

For real . . *ANYTHING* from "democracy now" is just wrong, wrong, wrong.

After Katrina PM did a study and a recommendation sheet on how to prevent the same kind of problems that we had this time. It was really brilliant. I have a new respect for this mag.

[areafiftyone]

Well I found this on Instapundit which is the link I posted which is one of the best conservative blogs and the video is on Google.

[ChadGore]

democracy now BS warning!

[ConservativeMind]

Thank you.

[ChadGore]

I understand, and I'm happy you posted, but please, the source on this is NOT ON OUR SIDE, even a little.

[areafiftyone]

I understand.

[BallparkBoys]

bump for later...

The tin foil idiots hang one of their arguments on the fact that steal melts at a much higher temp than what jet fuel burns at.

What these people forget, is that steal WEAKENS at higher temperature and that much strength is lost (about half) as steel heats up to 600 degrees. Steel does not need to melt in order to be useless as a building material.

So maybe they had there invible trucks and invisible suits to haul in all the fake plane parts that where lying all over the ground.Then they set the parts on fire and then gave mind controll drugs to ALL THE BUSH HATING MEDIA so they would not notice.YOU MY FRIEND ARE CLUELESS AND NEED TO GO LIVE ELSEWHERE MAYBE IRAN ?

[areafiftyone]

I believe "Mad As Hell" had sarcasm after his statement.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

Actually, they "teleported" the parts from a secret mountain bunker from the alien teleporter machine we found in NM in the 50's.

I am still waiting for detailed wreckage photos from PA. I don't think they ever showed any.

[BallyBill]

I watched the introduction of the panelists. 2 children and 2 adults. I then wondered why anyone would even debate these kids.

After that I lasted 30 seconds when they played an eyewitness who said Flight 93 left a 10 foot hole in the ground 15 feet wide and that was all.

The two filmsters are laughing all the way to the bank!
