This is the thread that may very well change the way you look at 9/11 FOREVER!

Then they proceed to say this material does have an orange glow like that of logs burning in a fireplace. They didn't say - this material has an orange glow like that of a log. They said the orange glow is from the burning of the logs.

See? Like == Is. Case Closed. It's Scientific!

Right there in his own post. We'll never get through to someone like this.

Unfortunately, the same person who wrote the NIST FAQ, wrote the rest of the report. His name is Uncle Sam.

What? Surely this is a joke. It's pretty funny if it is one.

28th, you've made 238 posts in this thread. When will you be presenting the information you promised that will rock our puny brains? Surely with all this talk of fire you must be warmed up by now?

ETA: Word etymologies won't do it. We already have a High German on this forum.

All this talk about fire and now I have that damn Ohio Players song in my head

Did they wake up in the morning, seeking for bread sir? So that every mouth can be fed?

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh

The israelites.

Were the doing the Hora and more importantly were they romantically linked to the art students

Wasn't the origin of Uncle Sam during WWII when a butcher supplying meat to the troops marked his boxes Uncle Sam instead of USA because Usa City is located in Oita Prefecture on Kyushu Island Japan?

Uncle Sam is a national personification of the United States, with the first usage of the term dating from the War of 1812 and the first illustration dating from 1852. He is often depicted as a serious elderly man with white hair and a goatee, dressed in clothing that recalls the design elements of the flag of the United States—for example, a top hat with red and white stripes and white stars on a blue band, and red and white striped trousers.

Nope. See earlier:

Okay, so if the government is involved....do you think they would be able to influence the NIST report..since you know the NIST appears to be government affiliated. Yes or No?

The link I presented purporting that the government is destroying valuable evidence...is from an extremely credible UNAFFILIATED source...the Fire Engineering Magazine, which is the oldest publication in the US on this industry - they are non-partisan - and have nothing to gain from lying or making these claims up. Understand, now?

There is a big difference, you have to look at the source of your information. Everything you get from the NIST is coming from the GOVERNMENT. Who in their right mind, would question the government if they (the government) are the ones paying your bills by writing your paychecks? The government is the one who paid for this supposedly unbiased and non-partisan investigative report. Are you starting to understand now? The NIST is about as trustworthy in this investigation as Larry Silverstein.

Anything that can be traced to a government source is automatically tainted, just because it is a govenment source.

Good old fashioned Circular Reasoning.

Oh, and an extra little dig at Mr. Silverstein, to boot.

and if it cant be connected to a government source, they just invent a connection (eg. ben chertoff of PM)

World War I, not the Civil War.

Something burning consumes (burn away) fuel (a material used to produce heat) and gives off heat (orange glow)

yes, therefore lava (and glowing hot metal) are not burning

What's with all the semantic word manipulation play 28k?

Do you think you caught the NIST publically admitting that thermite was present?

Just like you guys think you caught Silverstein publicly admitting he destroyed his building.
