\r\nPROOF THAT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER WAS DELIBERATELY DEMOLISHED.\r\n
\r\nEVIDENCE: BOTH OF THE TOWERS FELL IN ABOUT 10 SECONDS. \r\n
\r\nPROOF: \r\n
\r\nAll that one needs to know, to be able to conclusively prove that the Twin Towers were demolished, is that the towers fell in roughly 10 seconds, that is, that they fell at about the same rate that an object falls through air. \r\n
\r\nAnyone with a little common sense will realize that the top of a building does not pass through the concrete and steel that comprises the lower portion of the building at the same rate that it falls through air. This just doesn't happen, unless, of course, the lower part of the building has lost its structural integrity (and this is usually due to the detonation of a multitude of small explosive charges as seen in controlled demolitions). \r\n
\r\nThe fact that the towers collapsed in about 10 seconds is a statement that the upper portion of each of the towers passed through the lower portion at about the same rate that it would have fallen through air. The fact that the towers fell this quickly (essentially at the rate of free-fall) is conclusive evidence that they were deliberately demolished. \r\n
\r\nBelieving that there is nothing wrong with the towers collapsing so quickly, is roughly analogous to believing that people pass through closed doors as quickly as they pass through open doors.\r\n
\r\nThe fact that they fell at such a rate means that they encountered essentially no resistance from the supposedly undamaged parts of the structure. That is, no resistance was encountered from any of the immensely strong parts of the structure that had held the building up for the last 30 years. From this one can conclude that the lower undamaged parts were actually very damaged (probably by the detonation of a multitude of small explosive charges as is usual in a controlled demolition).\r\n\r\n
\r\nDownload the entire www.nerdcities.com\/guardian site
as one 16 Megabyte file.\r\n
\r\nFirst download the file guardian20jan03.tgz by Clicking Here or Clicking Here if the first link is down.\r\n
\r\nMicrosoft users will Left Click while (depending on your browser) Linux\/Unix users should Shift Left Click.\r\n
\r\nSave the file guardian20jan03.tgz in C drive (or some other directory of your choice).\r\n
\r\nMicrosoft users will use WinZip to decompress the file and open up the directory structure.
\r\nLinux\/Unix users will use the command tar -zxf guardian20jan03.tgz and
\r\nApple users will use Stuffit.\r\n
\r\nWinZip gives an error message \"Trailing garbage in GZIP file, decompression ended\", however, the files have been decompressed and everything is OK. Click OK to the error message and then Extract to finish.\r\n
\r\nYou should end up with a main directory called www.nerdcities.com with a subdirectory called guardian and further subdirectories. The directory structure has been chosen to mirror the www.nerdcities.com\/guardian website.\r\n
\r\nNow point your web browser at the main index, that is, enter the following address (URL)\r\n
\r\nC:\\www.nerdcities.com\\guardian\\index.html or
\r\n\/www.nerdcities.com\/guardian\/index.html for Linux\/Unix users\r\n
\r\nand you will see the usual index page for the www.nerdcities.com\/guardian website. Once you have found it, bookmark it, so that it is easy to return to. Of course, if you did not save the file in C drive (or the root directory), then these addresses will have to be adjusted by adding the name of the directory that you originally choose to save the file in, that is, it will have to be changed to something like:\r\n
\r\nC:\\original-directory-name\\www.nerdcities.com\\guardian\\index.html or
\r\n\/original-directory-name\/www.nerdcities.com\/guardian\/index.html\r\n
\r\nAll this is second nature to those accustomed to their operating system.

If they had pancaked one floor banging into the next the questions remain:\r\n\r\n1. How did this violation of the laws of inertia take place i.e., each pancake should have, at least momentarily slowed the collapse of the building? The only way this would not have happened is if the structural members underneath were somehow removed. One way, the only one I can think of, is if they were removed by explosive charges cutting out the supports.\r\n\r\n2. Why did the buildings, all of them, collapse straight down into a pile of rubble? If there were no explosions one would think that the collapse would have been asymetric which at some point would have caused the collapsing building to tip over. None of the buildings tipped.\r\n\r\nIf someone can explain those without allowing for some agency removing the structural supports uniformly would you please give me the winning numbers for the next Lottery Drawing?","author":"Diogenes","parent_id":55889,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-05-07 03:05:39","modified":"2003-05-07 03:05:39","fileurl":""},{"id":56134,"heading":"Diogenes","article":"NASA's hiring Einstein!!!!!!!!!","author":"daveman","parent_id":55889,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-05-07 03:08:45","modified":"2003-05-07 03:08:45","fileurl":""},{"id":56206,"heading":"davemoron is a buffoon","article":"davemoron is a buffoon. davemoron is a buffoon. davemoron is a buffoon. davemoron is a buffoon. davemoron is a buffoon. davemoron is a buffoon. davemoron is a buffoon. davemoron is a buffoon. davemoron is a buffoon. davemoron is a buffoon. davemoron is a buffoon. davemoron is a buffoon. davemoron is a buffoon. davemoron is a buffoon. davemoron is a buffoon. davemoron is a buffoon. davemoron is a buffoon. davemoron is a buffoon.
