    Bushfire season 2023-2024

    With El Niño and a positive Indian Ocean Dipole, Australia is bracing for a hot and dry summer. With a lot of fuel load from the last three growing years, the country is a tinderbox waiting to be sparked off. A positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) plus El Niño in Australia likely to cause hot and...

    Likely MLM posing as Financial Independence advisors

    I've been getting a few reports from clients reporting they've been harassed by some sort of unidentified 'cult' posing as FIRE adherents and offering early retirement financial advice. Example of a report in the cults subreddit: [Has anyone been approached by F.I.R.E.?] My best guess is not a...

    The TU Delft Faculty of Architecture Collapse

    This is a good example of a building that collapsed due to fire. Of course, this in no way proves the collapse the towers was real, but proves buildings could collapse due to fire. Period. Ok, it's true that there was NOT a total collapse, actually only the upper floors collapsed and the...

    WTC, Fire, and building collapse

    “...Fire can't weaken steel or cause it to fail! It's steel for crying out loud!” How many times have we heard THIS argument? This seems to mostly be an argument advanced by people who really haven't bothered to examine how steel is made, or how steel is manufactured and fabricated. This is a...

    Lets Talk About Fire

    As I am reading through the threads catching up on the past few months of not lurking through the sub-forum, I see the argument that fire wasn't enough to destroy 3 buildings in one day rearing its ugly head still. First of all, I am not arguing that fire alone caused the collapse of the 3...

    NIST Wind Driven Fire Studies

    Back in 2008 the FDNY, Department of Homeland Security, NIST, and a few other major city Fire Departments conducted tests to study the effects of fire under heavy wind conditions. (Article here) Well I completely forgot that the complete studies were released in early 2009 and I haven't seen...

    Smoke COMES from fire, duh

    Can anyone explain to me what the deal is with this new meme among Truthers where they deny the existence of fires in pictures that show a great deal of smoke? Is this some new denial tactic? Some new persuasive techniques? Are they just playing games to get on our nerves? Is it a desperate...

    Burning plane wreckage in the wtc towers.

    The truthers claim that burning jet fuel was not the cause of the collapse, i agree as most of the fuel would be burnt off after 10 mins. The truthers claim that burning office equipment, furniture etc, has never resulted in a collapse, this is a false claim because most people who do...

    Church blessed by lightning strike, and fire.

The article headline in the paper read "Members 'blessed' as church survives major fire damage" There are statements quoted in the article such as "it could have burned everything down", and a few other...

    The Deutsche bank blaze

    How long before the twoofers jump on the fact that the 9/11 damaged Deutsche bank building is still standing after its recent fire? Will they take into account that the building was being dismantled ? Will they take into account that firefighters had adequate water supplies to fight the fire ?

    30 years before 9/11, fireproofing expert predicts collapse

    From editorial by Steve Milloy... Herbert Levine, a fireproofing inventor, reportedly said "If a fire breaks out above the 64th floor, [the WTC] will collapse" after his fireproofing was banned due to reports of danger from the asbestos it was based on. Because of this, the Twin Towers were...

    Winsor Tower Fire (Evidence for CTs or for us?)

    I've been doing to reading up on the windsor tower and it's quite interesting. The tower collapsed from floor 17 and above (besides the core), it turns out that no floors abover floor 16 had fire proofing. Sound familiar? Floor 9 also was missing fire-proofing and that ended up looking like...

    WTC7 Smoke clouds...what else was making smoke besides fire?

    As you know, a CT will rarely show footage or pictures of the south side of WTC7. The reason for this is because there were billowing clouds of smoke pouring out of it for hours and that does not comply with their theory. They like to claim that there were only small fires in WTC7. So my...

    Israeli Troops Fire into a crowd of women

    Of course, they suspected that Palestinian insurgents had hidden themselves in the crowd, so I imagine they think they were justified. What I wonder about is how a 12 year old girl looks like a bearded insurgent through a rifle scope? Palestinian girl, 12, killed by Israeli sniper fire...

    Sets Wife on Fire After Protective Order Dismissed

    I'm sure it's a comfort to Yvette Cade, lying in her hospital bed with burns over 60% of her body, that the judge has been removed from domestic violence cases. This appears to raise a question I'd asked a number of times (maybe even here): Has a court order of protection ever stopped a guy...
