Bill Owen seems to be challenged on physics and truth! He just wants the government to investigate again. Why would the CT movement need help, they are experts, they have the evidence, or do they? Are they just politically biased hacks?
The pilot hit the key points and is a fresh air compared to Bill's CT rant. Bill thinks explosives were used, but CD uses RDX, not thermite; in small quantities, hundreds of pounds! The building itself had the force of 248 tons of TNT stored, and released when it collapsed. WTC falling equal to 1000 500 pound bombs from a B-52, at ground zero. Enough energy to grind up the building as seen on 9/11? The designer of the WTC said it was the fire; the designer said it. WTC7 fire was not fought, and that is what happens in a steel building without concrete reinforcement, it falls after it fails due to fire. Just like the steel only sections of the Windsor building in Madrid that fell ( the building was totaled by fire!!!)? Steel building do fail due to fire! WTC fell, it was the fires burning! Bill calculate the energy of the fuel burning? Equal to 315 tons of TNT. Just that little 10,000 gallons of fuel. (lots of fuel in WTC7 to run generators, damage to WTC7 from the tower collapse) No one fought the WTC7 fire, so WTC7 failed! Failure to fight fire, building fails!!
So we have a large aircraft speeding, hits the WTC tower, the energy of the impact was equal to a 2000 pound bomb! A 2000 pound bomb in the form of a fast aircraft! BANG! Then fuel explodes and heats the building to failure along with the building contents burning out of control! Fuel = 315 tons of TNT!
Then the building fails and starts to fall from the impact points, it all starts and is on video falling and failing from the impact points! The falling buildings release 245 tons of TNT equivalent energy. CD only uses like a few hundred pounds of explosives. CD use the energy stored in the building to chop it up. They use the building and gravity! Look it UP please, you will see.
Bill thinks flying is beyond a terrorist; most kids could fly the jet and hit a building. Easy, ask a pilot, I have, I am, it is easy! I put two kids in a simulator with no training. They hit the buildings! They could not takeoff or land, but they could crash easy!!! Why does anyone think it would be hard on a clear perfect day? The real pilot did the hard work!
Why would an idiot terrorist run into the Pentagon, it is too strong to do too much damage! Barely breached 3 sections in! Dumb terrorist. Wonder if he meant to hit the Capital or the White House barely 2 miles ahead! Maybe our bad terrorist pilot missed the Capital and accidentally hit the Pentagon after loosing 2500 feet in a turn? That is an easy turn, but for a poor pilot he could have been looking 2 miles ahead as the Capital was disappearing behind the growing Pentagon! Take a look Bill, the Capital lines up just about 2 miles away, I think! He missed! Bad pilot after all! So any ideas on this Bill?
So what questions can the CT experts, like the poets and theologians not answer for themselves about 9/11? I wonder why the government has to do anything if these are real live experts and scholars! And the CT guys now have all the Charlie Sheen facts, and Charlie is ready to argue anyone on the facts. (are those fact in Al Gore’s lock box?)
There is a theologian who writes 9/11 CT books, and he tell you it is all hearsay. His whole book has no facts, just hearsay, and he tells you that. The CT guys will praise the book, and you know they missed the main point! Hearsay! And this is part of the foundation of the 9/11 truth movement, hearsay and thermite! There are these experts who lie and mislead, and that is all! That is the 9/11 truth movement!
Just nut cases wondering why our jets did not lock up an airliner at 150 miles and launch missiles at it! WHY? Because how does he know it is the hijacked aircraft! HOW? Who flew that day, how many planes were in the air? From a 150 miles you could hit any airliner you lock up, is it the one? You know before you open your mouth and make up stuff, you should spend a few years studying this stuff!
Explosion in the basement, how did he hear it? He would be dead if he was in the basement! How did he make it out of the basement if he heard an explosion and he was in the basement? How can you get out of the basement in 15 to 25 seconds during the fall of the WTC? Did he see the explosion or just hear it? Who is this Pulitzer Prize witness who has proof of this CT stuff?
Northwoods is only proof that the government does not do stupid ideas put forth by people like Bill! Was Northwoods done? NO. Why? Well Bill, not everyone is as gullible as you are to do dumb things! Northwoods? Your using a document from when? Kennedy, or Ike? Why was it not done?
Not one fact yet has come from this fringe of conspiracy minded "scholars", "experts", and lemming followers! Thermite kooks and crazy theologians, poets, deranged former economist, crazy guys running for congress, academically challenged actor, book author who tells you he has only hearsay (he tells you but you do not listen), fire fanning Jones, want to be film giants with loose screws and no change, are the likes of the 9/11 truth movement!
The bold headline says, "...the pilot takes on the 9/11 conspiracy theorists," but all he actually does is dismiss any chance of a conspiracy ever occuring. Of course, that is a ridiculous position to take - it is common knowledge that many conspiracies do exist and some are uncovered (not by people like the pilot, though; you can't see what you refuse even to consider) - so the pilot doesn't actually state this position, though it is clearly implied. Instead, he uses the most common technique employed to avoid any discussion of conspiracies - he makes fun and refuses to engage the research or reason of those who raise any questions about the offical story. This is known in the vernacular as burying your head in the sand.
No serious person is claiming to know the details of this hypothetical conspiracy for certain. But many intelligent, patriotic, moral people are raising powerful questions about the offical story - which, as any astute observer of history and society knows, is rarely if ever the whole truth.
The Warren Report concluded that one assassin killed John Kennedy. In 1979 The House Select Committee issued its final report, concluding that Kennedy's death was probably the result of a conspiracy including Lee Oswald. Most Americans had already figured that out on their own. The other members of this probable conspiracy were not identified by the Committee, however, it believed that the conspiracy did not include the governments of the Soviet Union, Cuba, or any anti- Castro group, nor the FBI, the CIA, or the Secret Service. The implication is that the United States Military was involved - otherwise, why not state their innocence alongside that of Hoover, Khrushchev, Castro and the Mafia?
The point here is that conspiracies do occur, and the pilot offers nothing - no reason, no argument, no set of facts - to resolve the possiblity one occured on 9/11. He just brushes it off with a few paragraphs. Hopefully, readers will investigate on their own and not be side-tracked by glib, ahistorical apologism.
