"Cloverfield"

Do we really need the horror of 9/11 to be repackaged and presented to us as an amusement-park ride?

    @ birddulemerde

    Molten aluminum does not glow orange. It's color is silver. You have never seen molten aluminum or iron, I have. You probably still believe in WMD and that Saddam Hussein was behind 911.

    When I was a kid the chemstry sets had powdered aluminum and iron filings. Kids used to mix the two together to get some fun back before we had to protect kids from science. You know that a sparkler can reach 2000 degrees? Kids should know about stuff like that.

    Until you show me a picture of molten aluminum glowing yellow orange I shall regard you as a government troll or a feeble minded believe everything the authorities say type.

    You shouldn't bandy about the word science until you know what the word means.

    Until you show me a plausible cause for molten iron coming out of the towers the scientific model of a thermite or thermate reaction is the only model which duplicates the data from those video clips. If it could have been done, I think we would have seen the government promote that model like they promote phony Bin Laden videos (who hasn't made any videos since he denied involvement in 911 because he is dead).

    They stole the plot for the WTC airplane attacks from the pilot episode of Fox television show "The Lone Gunmen" which aired in March of 2001. I watched a tpae of that show an hour before it happened for real. I called bs.
