Larry Silverstein explaining what he meant by 'pull it'

It could depend on what the substance was designed to do. High energy, reasonable noise suppression? Your guess is as good as mine.

No, my guess is much better than yours. Mainly because I'm not making up a substance with magical properties that defy not only physics but definition.

Edited to add: It would also likely be easy to apply, and if it resembled paint, all the better.
No.

Hell, why not even make it look like teddy bears? Everyone loves teddy bears and not a single person would think anything of random teddy bears sitting around.

Oh, oh and have it smell like potpourri, NO ONE dislikes potpourri.

Also, if you could make it so it tastes good with chips that'd be a bonus as well.
 
Carrying on the Dylan Avery tradition of not knowing what a simile is I see.

Wrong.

Carrying on in the Official Story tradition of not knowing what it is you are talking about but carrying on regardless.

You betray your ignorance.

"You find it odd that the FDNY would call up the owner of a building & say something like "Look, we can't get any lines on the fire in 7 & we're not gonna try. We're just going to have to let it burn."

That was not a simile.

As I asked you MM, do you claim that firefighters did NOT say, with different words, essentially exactly what was written?

Come on, Ive asked so many questions recently and all of them have been ignored, maybe break the cycle.

I only ignore the willfully ignorant.

You may draw whatever conclusion you wish from that.

BS posts are just too boring to deal with. Say something of interest, and intelligent, and you'll likely get a response.

You didnt answer the question. :rolleyes:

I'll not ask then, I'll tell . The quote wasnt a direct quote, but it is what the firefighters were saying.

I am well aware that you conjured up that quote because you felt it validated your version of the truth.

If I was to make up such an imagined quote you would be all over it asking for the source and screaming liar.

Which, ironically, makes you willfully ignorant.
But to acknowledge that, one would need self-awareness and humility.

Do you know what a "paraphrase" is, MM? You don't have to directly quote someone to repeat what they are saying.

If my friend Alex, today, says he's getting married in a month, and I tell our friend Bob Alex is getting married in March, did I "conjure up" the quote?


As I asked you MM, do you claim that firefighters did NOT say, with different words, essentially exactly what was written?

See? Paraphrase.

Fine, call it paraphrasing then.

Ok, why does the quote seem odd to you?

Of course.

It's just another way to dodge the original question.
It was an entirely rhetorical question, in that I never expected him to answer. At least, not honestly.

EDIT: Come to think, it reminds me of how Ergo / KreeL likes to ignore questions until he can't no more, then declare the question--or more often, the person posting it--to be irrelevant. Oddly, he never explains why.

I'd really like to know whether MM finds it odd that the FDNY would tell Larry they were going to let his place burn. See? No quotation marks. Just a paraphrase.

Why is it so diffuclt for you guys to answer simple questions?

It is what the firefighters were saying.

It is not a made up quote it is paraphrasing them. To paraphrase someone is not lying about what they said just because they didnt use those exact words.

The problem you have, EDX, is that the firemen said all kinds of things. How do you choose which tidbits to semi-quote?
 
For instance:

Secondary explosive devices.

Explosions going off in the lower sections of the towers.

Molten steel in the sublevels.

Bombs in the buildings.

That building is coming down.

I tried to make it into the lobby, and BIG EXPLOSION, blew me back out into the street.

We made back down to the 12th floor and BIG EXPLOSION.

When we got there it looked like a plane had crashed into the lobby.

Etc.

Etc.

Etc....
 
For instance:

Secondary explosive devices.

Who knows what is meant by that. People once thought a Mooninite was a bomb.

Explosions going off in the lower sections of the towers.

Possible. We know that there were fuel air explosions on random floors.

Molten steel in the sublevels.

More like a molten metal. It is impossible to tell the actual metal just by looking a molten pool.

Bombs in the buildings.

Again, misidentifications are easy. Or they were simply alluding to the many explosions.

That building is coming down.

That was pretty easy to deduce. No way is there a fire that big in them and they don't come down.

And what is your point in bringing all these up?

Why wouldn't there be all sorts of things exploding in that fire?

If that's a quote from a survivor (and it certainly seems to be) then clearly wasn't a CD explosion, was it? Otherwise he wouldn't have survived to tell the tale.

Duh.
