I completely believe it. How could it not be true? It's physics. No one
sees the facts or logic in any of it. They just think that these
"terrorists" are out to get us when it's our own government.

Just one more step towards a one world government by the Free Masons and their
cohorts! The physics prove it beyond a doubt.

Its terrible! How come it possible to kill his own people with his own weapon?
American people are most unfortunate people in this world. Most of them are
blind, foolish but their leaders are shrewd, cunning 100 times more than their
common people. Any other attack can happen again as they are still inflaming
fire behind the previous blame.

I have been a steel worker and fabricator for the railroads in this country for
over 30years, and I had the wanted ability to be tuned in to ESPN on the morning
of the horrible event, and as the buildings began to implode on them selvse, and
the so called experts were trying to make it sound possible by the heat
generated by the jet fuel and the huge air surge of the elevator shafts, I
looked at my wife and said our government just killed all those people just to
start a war in the oil rich middle east and,disrupt any and all Opec Nations to
begin driving the price of oil out of sight, and that is exactly what happened ,
and all those poor souls were sacrificed simply for the unbridled greed that has
griped our counrty ever since George W. Bush, has become our president, and he
and his entire group of murderers should be tried and shot for the horrible
deeds that took place on that day.

We didn't elect George W. Bush. It's a mystery to most people how he
ever did take office. I believe that George W. Bush won't only be held
accountable for the 2,000+ victims of 9/11 but also for the 70,000+ Iraqi
civilians killed as of Sep. '07, and the great American troops that are
sacrificing their lives for a lie.

I'm just waiting for the next "false flag" event. They were
cooking up 9/11 for years and I know they have more murderous tricks up their
sleeves. And I 2nd the motion to try and execute those actually responsible for
9/11 (though they may have to impeached and removed from office first).

The fires, according to the math I've gone through, could have only
hit...at its worst...257 C, and that's by containing the fire to one floor,
burning with perfect efficency, with no hot gasses leaving the floor, with no
heat escaping by conduction and allowing an unlimited amount of time for the
steel and cencrete to absorb all the heat (to figure out the hottese it could
get). That's nowhere close to the 600 C where steel loses half its
strength, and it's DEFENITELY nowhere close to 1535 C where steel melts.
I'll agree it's explosives.

Why would they make their own peopel afraid for thier lives with threats, and
false pretenses about diseases and manufactured death? well isnt it obvious if
we just think about it? To make you their puppet. so that you have no concept to
question the,? think about it who would question a government if there was an
attack on their people? who would realize soon enough that the government lied?
no one. It would take years for conspiracies to develope, and we can make up a
whole story and throw it out to the public within 48 hours and people will get
behind us. Watch this: makes up a story as to why the people should not ride
bycicles. THen at a race, two trees fall down, killing hundreds. no one
questions who does it, and the government blames it on individuals who they have
a problem.

Not surprised a BYU professor would believe such absolute nonsense and actually
propagate it. After all, you all DO believe the Book of Mormon (bwaaaaa, ha, ha,
ha) so I guess it's not that much of a stretch.

As a Professional Engineer, I have looked at Dr. Jones arguments and evidence,
and found them credible. It is quite a bit to "swallow" that our own
government would attack "it's own" in order to promote a war, but
"false flag" events are common, and very effective tools. Hitler
burned the German parliment building (the Riechstag) in order to unite the
people behind his warlike and radical agenda. The question in my mind is: Will
Americans stop this neo-conservative generated radicalism before another world
war begins?

Let's say all these conspiracy theorists are correct; the US government
blew up the WTC to start a war. What about those four destroyed airplanes?
Were they imaginary? Or did the CIA payoff Osama bin Laden to do that, so we
could start a war in Afghanistan and force him to flee for his life into the
Tora Bora mountain chain? It is all so patently absurd that all these nutjobs,
including Professor Jones, should take a deep breath and go back to their day
jobs, rather than pretend to know what they are talking about.

As a retired military person I reflect on the many days I fought fires at
training facilities. Day after day we deliberatly set fire to tanks and
buildings filled with oil for training in fire fighting. Not one of these
structures was replaced due to melting. Check out "ground Zero
Hiroshima" and see what withstood tempuratures equal to the surface of the
sun and the most powerfull blast man had devised.

I support Jones, good for him to have the courage and strength to say what he
believes is true. Especially against a bunch of blind sheeple that don't
understand what is happening to their freedom and liberty.

All you can do it sit there and agree with what he's said. Getting into too
much detail about all of the other events is irrelevant. All he's gone to
prove is that explosives, and not plains, brought down the towers. If it was our
government, with the support and greed of Rockafeller, who owned the buildings
and has great stake in the oil companies, oil banking, and trade agreements,
you'll just have to shrug. It's too late to do anything about it now,
and out government has the strength and the ability to keep the truth hidden for
a very long time.

Although Prof. Jones may be right that this was the work of explosives, that
doesn't prove who planted the explosives, or how long they'd been
there, or that President Bush even knew about them, seeing as government
conspiracies don't necessarily require the president, and could possibly
even be served by his ignorance. A proper investigation is needed before any
alegations can be made, or it will just cause more problems.

Professor Jones applied a simple scientific concept: when you have eliminated
the impossible what remains is what happened. Everyone has seen implosions. No
one has seen a building collapse into its footprint from fire before 9/11 or
after. On 9/11, and with a lot of fanfare, two such buildings were said to have
collapsed from fire. Then, later in the day, another did. The third building was
shown still standing on BBC, while the naive "news-reader" (as they
call them, accurately, in Britain) announced it had collapsed. When it began its
6 second fall, the "feed" to the news shut down. For months, the BBC
claimed to have lost the tape of this obvious pre-announcement. But why go into
detail? Three impossible things happened on 9/11. I know we are all expected to
believe six impossible things before breakfast in some religions, but my
government is not my religion, and I do not believe them. What religious dogmas
I choose to accept are between me and my God. I hold my government to worldly
standards of proof and do not commit the idolatry of believing them where their
explanations are without rational foundation.

I've conducted countless hours of research regarding the events of
September. I don't want to preach to the choir, and I don't want you
folks to do that either. Lets start basic, and lets begin with the physical
facts like Jones has done. We achieve nothing by running around screaming
conspiracy. We get pats on the back from people who already know the official
report has huge gaping holes, and the people who believe the official story just
get increasingly pissed off. This is an unfathomably polarized debate. If you
like myself believe that we need another investigation into the events of
September 11th, then I charge you all to exercise intelligence in the ways you
bridge the gap with those non-believers. I've swayed a lot of the faculty
in the engineering department of the university where I study by appealing to
their sense of reason and their firm beliefs in predictability of materials and
other physical improbabilities and I daresay, impossibilities that are believed
to have occurred that day. I must insist that everyone who reads this consider
that the ripple effects of your actions reach further than you realize. Please
ready Jones' published paper. Enough said

Most of us aren't experts in building engineering so we need more people
like Jones to step up. We all in shock just accept, Oh, it's fires.
Common sense though, something seems wrong, how does steel turn to dust. Then
building 7 tops off the mystery. I just want to know the truth, please. What
can we do? Most people don't want to bring it up, it is cased closed. I
agree with Peter above, I don't think coming up with theories is the best
thing right now. The truth should come out once we pursue what we know,
something seems wrong with how the buildings came down. Fires doesn't cut
it for me. I would like to see a model building setup and replicate what
happend to the buildings. Show that fires and the impact did it. Just thought
of something, because we saw it twice, we assume that is what just happens. Of
course, doesn't explain 7.
