I was reading a thread about the free-fall speed of the WTC
towers' collapse called "Basic Physics, Correct Analysis of WTC
Towers Collapse" on the phys.org forum, a mainstream physics
board.
The initial post includes a very good .swf file showing how the
time of the collapses indicate that they had to have been caused
by explosives, and the poster wanted to know the community's
opinion on this, asking them to point out any error in his
physics.
As usual, a 9/11 apologist/shill (nick a_ht) starts defending
the official story, and this goes on for a few pages until a
very well informed post throws an accusation at him.

It is heartening to see that the horrific crime of 911, for
which NO ONE has been apprehended in my country, is still a
burning issue for those that see a real problem in officialdom's
explanation (or in the case of WTC 7, simply ignoring the issue
entirely, which is cause of suspicion in and of itself for any
reasonable person) of that day's events.
I wish those finding fault in Mr. Johnson's conclusions would
state specifically what those are, not keep referring to
something not in the reply. Damn sure would like to see ANY
logical rebuttal.
In other words, I see no rebuttal to his statement that physics
rules out a kerosene fire melting and collapsing three steel
buildings in this manner.
That's fairly straightforward, and should be simple to refute,
yet I see nothing but anger, resentment, insults and false
statements about the structural strength (or lack thereof) of
the two towers (the core should have stayed upright, with plane
parts stuck to it). Not to mention how one poster claimed
modeling a 22 second free fall, then stated a 13 second free
fall, without explaining his conflicting statements.
Look, I am not a scientist, nor a physicist, nor structural
engineer.
I am a Boilermaker, Shipbuilder, Blacksmith Forger and helper.
Union. Now a contractor on military facilities. I build steel
storage tanks for jet fuel. A few years ago, a typhoon blew
through, and I got to watch a Mobil AST, with @ 1,000,000
gallons of diesel in it, get hit with lightning, the grounding
failed, and the million gallons BLEW!!
Well, for a diesel fire that is. it simply caught fire, burned
itself out after 4 days, blackened the steel. Catch that? One
million gallons of diesel fuel, burned for 4 days, didn't melt
squat. Tank, 1/4" steel, never melted.
Yet HUGE core I-beams, supporting the elevator and utility
shafts, were VAPORISED at the WTC towers? Stop, I'll wet my
britches laughing.
I've melted, welded, forged, bent, twisted, repaired sheared,
punched, formed, plated, blasted and coated just about every
metal you see used commonly in industry and construction, for
over 32 years. I 've welded many a steel I-beam: purlin clips,
joining plates, you name it.
I ask you plainly: you know the explosion you see after the
second plane hits the tower?
a_ht, what caused that?
Tell me you believe, like me, it was the JP-8 (yes, I work with
jet fuel daily, too) contained in the jet's tanks, correct?
Huge explosion, you say you were there that day? Your father? He
see this huge fireball?
What was it?
Because, if it was the kerosene (JP-8, acts just like diesel,
you can put it right in your diesel tank, works great, low flash
point of 140 deg) that did explode that way, that you state so
assuredly melted steel,
explain how it reconstituted itself after exploding, and put
itself back inside the building, and THEN what?
Ran down 90 floors to melt the "uninsulated I-beams"? What?
"Shook" it off by jet impact? Are you kiddin' me? When the jet
hit, it did not even knock folks down in the building below!!!
What nonsense, a_ht!!
Because I KNOW the dimensions of a 14,000 gallon fuel tank.
About the size on one of the many offices on the floor hit.
That's all, a_ht. The size of one office.
Yet, you would have me believe NOT my own eyes, that see an
explosion of huge proportions caused by the impact of the jet
plane, but rather a tale that says exploded fuel turned back
into liquid form, and only <14,000 gallons, a ridiculously small
amount of fuel, ran 90 stories down the stairways (the
stairwells the firefighters used to come up to see "small
fires") and caused the beams to melt because the impact "knocked
of the insulation".
One reply to that: WTC 7. Not hit, there goes THAT THEORY.
Melted steel bends. NEVER turns to dust. Never. No, not ever.
Say, how about this for argument: From now on, CDI never needs
to use sophisticated computer analysis on where to place the
explosives, amounts, sequences, no, no no. We can simply use
a_ht's rational analysis, pour @ 10,000 gallons of diesel fuel
in the basement, stand back, and watch a PERFECTLY SIMULATED
controlled demolition, right? Right, a_ht? or, are you incorrect
here?
a_ht, Mr. Jackson's British, I believe. Very polite,
considerate.
I am not, I am just a blunt American: I believe you to be an
Israeli disinformation agent.
Yes, obviously, the buildings were pre-rigged for controlled
demolitions.
I never thought I would see the day my country chased the rabbit
down the hole...and I would wake up in a land where black is
white, up is down, liars are heroes, and criminals in charge of
our government, and 19 "Arab Terrorists" could make physics
stand down while they attacked.
Yet.....
Physics don't "stand down" for anyone. Therefore, I believe 19
Arab hijackers flying planes into the towers did not bring down
the buildings on 911.
Obviously.
And here is the reply:

So THAT'S what the 'public relations' department does!
Man, they must be sending newbie shills to the non-conspiracy
boards...
