If this pic opens just one person's eyes, it was worth the effort.

Gratz for your prisonplanet plug! Well deserved, I might say. A mighty fine example of how a picture and a few words can convey more meaning than 10.000 pages signed by academics. Simple, yet effective. The way to go :-)

PS: I hope you don't find this condescending, but I'm really fond of the way slavic native speakers tend to omit articles. That is to say please don't ever stop omitting articles. I'm sincere.

We need more of these simple common-sense explanations to counter the widespread FALSE “common-sense” conclusions — such as that fire can weaken steel beams just enough to cause total free-fall collapse, or that short debris piles must mean exotic weapons made steel and concrete disappear into thin air, or that non-decelerating plane tails prove absence of planes.

PS to bruce: Loved your explanation of happy atoms in your reply to Ningen:

I'd be interested in hearing your well thought out explanation.

I'd also be interested in hearing you explain the concept of conservation of momentum in relation to the towers collapse.

In other words, I'd like to hear you explain how it's perfectly normal for a building to "collapse" at 10 floors per second.

10 floors gone. ONE second passed.

I know it's not as fun as the "Holocaust denial" dog and pony show you MC at your dis-info blog(now dirrected at our Rosie), but you can give it a go.

BTW: when you're done with that, why did Patrick tell me that the fake "nico" and the fake "Pat" come from the same place? He just made that up, didn't he?

Impeachment. Accountability. A better world.

In fact, the column plates at the base of the two towers were 16 times thicker than at the top (0.25 inch versus 4 inch).

and another stake to the heart in the "pancake" collapse:

The LIGHTER floors were supposed to CRUSH the HEAVIER lower floors?

Uh-huh...

Impeachment. Accountability. A better world.
