Mr. Bxxxxx, reading your letter I agree on one point: The two World Trade Center towers were certainly not brought down by isolated kerosene fires. You fail to mention that both towers were struck by 150 ton jumbo jets traveling at hundreds of kilometers an hour. This explains the presence of aviation-grade kerosene, also known as jet fuel. Call me naïve, but when I witness two 300,000 pound planes strike two buildings, and those buildings collapse, I’m convinced it’s because of the planes. As are the legions of physicists, mathematicians, structural, mechanical, civil and chemical engineers who have studied this occurrence intensively. In what area of expertise do you hold a degree?
You state that almost half of Americans believe US government involvement in this atrocity. You are either mistaken or lying. The most recent Scripps Howard survey shows that 36% (not even half-way between 25% and 50%) of Americans believe the US government was either “very likely” or “somewhat likely” involved.
Do you believe the US government was involved? Are you implicating all 435 Members of Congress, all 100 Senators, and every member of the President’s Office? Or just the Bushies?
I’m no fan of the Bush administration, but I cannot believe that they attempted to murder upwards of 20,000, and did murder almost 3,000 of their fellow citizens. For what purpose? To justify a war? If that is so, why didn’t Mr. Bush authorize the planting of WMDs in Iraq? That certainly would’ve silenced many of his critics.
So how, exactly, was the US government involved? The notion that explosives were used to demolish those buildings is absurd. It sure didn’t work in 1993. At 133.8 meters (439 feet), the J. L. Hudson building in Detroit is the world record holder of being the tallest structural steel building ever imploded by controlled demolition, on 24 October 1998. It took a 12 person crew 24 days to place the 1,240 kgs (2,728 lbs) of explosives, run over 11,000 meters (36,000 feet, or almost seven miles) of detonation cord, and torch-cut most of the building’s steel beams. This is after a 21 person crew took three months to investigate the building and prepare the implosion design. WTC towers One and Two were 3.1 times taller than the Hudson building, and tower Seven was 1.46 times taller. How big would the crews have to have been to rig these three buildings? How long would it have taken? Remember, those buildings were open basically 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Did no one who worked there ever notice the fresh drywall and wet paint that would have been necessary to conceal those explosives?
Again, who in the US government was involved, and how, exactly?
