Of course it was smelly, there was a large burried fire full of burning plastic office materials and thousands of rotting corpses. Most people have no experience with that kind of smell.

Most people do not, but I do. Working in the biological sciences, I had many experiences with dead bodies, including autopsies and the like. It smelled like dead bodies only during the first few days. After that, it smelled like this other thing for many, many months.

Fire smells like what is on fire. A smell professor sampled the smells, and could not identify the smell. From my personal observation, I agree. That smell was unique to me. Nothing smelled anything like it. It was actually more than a smell, because it hurt your nose when you breathed it. Sharp and painful tiny stabs, it felt like.

Why wouldn't it be unique to you? Do you frequently stand near collapsed skyscrapers & fires?

You have yet to present anything profound.

Let's say I'm right, and no tail section was found in the hole at Shanksville.

They said a plane crashed there, right? So you'd expect to see something like the remnants of a plane crash when you got there.

Fine. Now, look at as many different plane crashes as you can find, especially ones that involved high speed. Discover how many of them include a tail section that survives an impact.

If you come away with any other value than 100%, please inform me, because I've really tried to find one instance and I can't.

Considering 95% of the plane was recovered, we will chalk this up as another fail.

If you hung around death, you'd get used to the smell of decaying bodies after a while. I see no need for you to assume that other odors were involved.

Hey, man. I come from the world of academia, where you are expected to be the expert at whatever it is that you are doing.

No big deal. I do know better than anyone else who is regularly replying to this forum. You might not like hearing this, but it's true.

There might be someone who knows more about what destroyed the World Trade Center, but if they aren't named Judy Wood, then I don't know who they are. It's no one on this list, which makes me better than all of you.

Your arrogance is hardly enough to cover your ignorance.

Geez. No sense of humor. Who tries to make people happy in a time of tragedy? Me, darn it.

Remember that Yankees game they held so soon after the 9/11 attacks? I was there, with my silly sign that said:

"I love New York
I love the Yankees
and
I love Pot"

and many thousands of New Yorkers laughed at me. Hundreds of cops were in formation, and I was parading around waving my sign and giving them good belly laughs, perhaps for the first time in the early days.

I made THOUSANDS of New Yorkers laugh just a couple of days after 9/11. I'd call that a good deed.

More like attention hawking due to an inferior self esteem issue.

The fact that I arrived back onto the island of Manhattan on Thursday, two days after the attacks, actually allowed my nose to smell the dead bodies quite well.

As soon as I parked the truck all the way uptown at 28th street or maybe 20th street and got out, I could smell it. I walked the rest of the way home smelling the smell of dead bodies, a fire, and something very strange.

The other smells went away, but not the strange one.

Going out there to do that was work, man. I didn't feel good myself. Everyone was sad, but I knew I could do a silly gag and that people would enjoy it, so I went through the effort it took. I didn't even have a ticket to the Yankees game. I just knew they'd enjoy my sign.

And your "keen" smelling isn't comparable to that of the cadaver dogs. :rolleyes:

Ladies & Gentlemen, Dust thinks she can solve everything about 9/11 because she was on a road trip.

Road trips aren't very educational, unless you honestly visit historic sites.

Haha. I guess it wasn't that type of road trip. I was working. But it explains why I had a car and what the heck I was doing parking a vehicle uptown and walking home.

Wouldn't that make your sig a lie?

No, because I didn't come to the conclusion that is represented by my .sig for many years. I didn't determine that the WTC didn't collapse based on my personal experience of the events of the day. I was not even on the island. I only got back home two days later, and walked down to Ground Zero the next, rainy, morning.
