The World Trade Center did not "turn to dust", stop repeating this lie

[1337m4n]

In these photos you can see quite a bit more than just a bunch of dust:

Need more; I can give you more. The point is I don't want to hear any more of this canard about the WTC "turning into dust". I forget who first brought it up; it may have been AE911, but I've seen it repeated a heck of a lot.

I've studied your evidence, and I find it unconvincing and unable to stand up to scrutiny.

I hear this crap all the time. Thanks for the pics. I'll link the hell outta them everytime I hear someone say that crap.

Holy Crap! Is that a person in the third one? He looks like a statue.....Whoa.......that's horrible.

That's a statue. I do recall seeing it when I went to New York when I was very young...

I'm going with statue...

I totally agree with the sentiment. It is a ridiculous statement, and it easily disproved by a casual glance at any of these photos. However, the ones who keep saying this are immune to logic, reality, and reason, so this will have absolutely no effect on them. So, I predict a long, drawn-out fight with brain-dead morons who will never acknowledge this. Because the ones saying this are the no-brain-planers and the space-beam-cowboys. Denial to them is like oxygen to you and me.

I just wonder what snide comment our buddies will come up with once they find this thread.

I encountered this argument over at pffft....after posting some photos of large debris they seemed to lose interest in the discussion. (Twoofers hate being wrong.....but it's the one thing they're really good at )

The steel didnt turn to dust but virtually all the concrete did. Unless the governor of New York was lying on 9/13/01 when he said that all the concrete was pulverised.

I really don't think that's something the governor would know. May I see that quote (in context, please)?

Really? You dont think the gvernor of New York, while standing at ground zero, wouldnt know? You know more?

In a CNN interview that aired on September 21, 2001 George Pataki said "Concrete was pulverized." He did not use the the words "virtually" or "all".

Also from the same story:

At this point, there's about a 20-story structure, that is still leaning quite precariously off to the right. The workers down there say they're trying to get some enormous cables on top of it and pull it down to the ground.

Who said this bad thing?

The World Trade Center did not "turn to dust"

 

[T.A.M.]

a sixty foot high pile of "dust"? not GZ, but does the repetition of this old fable surprise you?

This is a strawman at its finest.

Thats a lie. He said "There's no concrete...the concrete was pulverized."

You rationalists are all stupid shills for the gubmint. Of course everything turned to dust. It's just that it's, uh, very big dust! You gotta expect nonexistent weapons to produce unusual forms of dust.

*sigh* ...here we go.

Okay, theauthor; tell us, then, what was it that "pulverized" 220 acres of concrete?
