Re:LC comments on Mark Roberts having a wife and kids and some other hobby...
Hello...I have a wife, two kids, a dog, and I work 50h a week as a health professional, but here I am, joined in the fight.
How naive are these children, to think that this is just about wasting time.
I have lots of other things I could be "Wasting" time on, but I do not consider this a "Waste" of time. I consider it a duty to make sure that those more gullable and seceptable to snake oil salesmen are prepared, warned, and informed...

It's the "I'mjust voicing my opinion" defense. Oddly enough, they love to proclaim that they are allowed to have their opinion, but apparently no one is allowed to have the opinion that their opinion is idiotic.
I should note, this is a standard fallacy for people who are in the face of overwhelming evidence that they are wrong and have no actual rebuttal. It is so common, in fact, that I have proposed to include a description of it in discussion board posting FAQs.

You would think that someone has access to those photos, and if they keep them around on file back to 1997, then someone could get access to the photo of the Embree Waleed, then compare that photo to the FBI one could they not??

The comments in reply to the DNA are almost as amusing as the no planers. Check out "solgrabber"
"I am calling BS on this one.
If they collected samples of DNA from the vehicles which the hijackers used what did they compare these first samples up against?
Did these supposed hijackers walk into a blood donation clinic before hand and fill out a form with their names on it for the FBI to compare their samples with or something?
All that was proven was that they matched DNA from unknown sources to DNA from unknown sources. This means they proved one thing and one thing only,
F*CK ALL."

TAM, not sure about the photos, but one suggestion would be to find a copy of Dateline NBC's "A Saudi Apology" on Aug 25 2002 I've seen the episode where they interviewed family members.
I still have a copy of the web page discussing the special. I hope this helps a little.
Also if you haven't I'd check out 9/11myths.
Exclusive interview with brother of two hijackers *
Brothers suspected of being 9/11 hijackers, Wail al Shahiri, left, and Waleed al Shahiri. *
NBC News
Aug. 25 — *President Bush and top Saudi officials are meeting this week to discuss further cooperation in investigating the Sept. 11 terror attacks. Saudi Arabia was home to 15 of the hijackers. What triggered the terrorists’ hate? Dateline’s John Hockenberry travelled to Saudi Arabia’s Asir province to find out.
* * *
* * * *IT IS HERE where Osama bin Laden found his most potent weapon — ordinary angry Saudis off the radars of U.S. and Saudi intelligence, men with some U.S. education and most important, U.S. visas. They went largely unnoticed before September 11, safe in the shadows of the U.S.-Saudi blind spot that al-Qaeda recruited without fear.
* * * *For 30 years Bob Baer was a dedicated field operative for the CIA in the Middle East. He left the CIA in 1997. And he is the author of the book “See No Evil,” about the U.S.-Saudi relationship as he saw it.
* * * *“Inside the mosques they’re saying go kill yourselves in the name of Islam,” says Baer. “And where was the United States? Where was the Saudi royal family?”
* * * *Ordinary Saudis living far from the strategic oil fields simply never figured into the U.S.-Saudi arrangement. But on September 11 they redefined it. Even their parents were clueless.
* * * *Prince Khalid Al-Faisal is governor of Asir Province. A third of the Saudi hijackers grew up here.
* * * *
* * * *Prince Khaled Al-Faisal: “They didn’t actually think that their sons were able to do such terrible action. But they also believe that they have been deceived, their children have been deceived.”
* * * *Prince Khaled Al-Faisal: “And they are good people by the way — their families.”
* * * *John Hockenberry: “The families?”
* * * *Prince Khaled Al-Faisal: “Are very good people.”
* * * *
* * * *It’s a relatively isolated province in the extreme south where its rocky hills rise out of the Red Sea.
* * * *
* * * *Prince Khaled Al-Faisal: “I think they have been chosen, especially to hit the American Saudi relations.”
* * * *
‘What I want to say for the American people, we are very sorry what happened in 11th September for the families, for everybody.’
— SALAH AL-SHAHIRI
Brother of suspected hijackers * * * *Chosen well. Reports from southern Saudi Arabia suggest a loose network of radical clerics who identified aimless, possibly bitter young men, offering them a chance at immortality. Does the government have an explanation?
* * * *
* * * *John Hockenberry: “Is there some aspect of Saudi life that would encourage well-to-do, educated, young men, to do these kinds of things? Bin Laden is one.”
* * * *Prince Khaled Al-Faisal: “The only problem is the Palestinian problems.”
* * * *
* * * *From Israel, brutal images dominate Saudi media. It’s an inescapable issue here and a catch-all official explanation for the motives of the 15 Saudi hijackers on September 11. So what is the official explanation for why no Palestinians were among the hijackers on September 11?
* * * *
* * * *John Hockenberry: “Why didn’t they [Palestinians] fly the planes into the World Trade Center?”
* * * *Prince Khaled Al-Faisal: “Why don’t you ask Bin Laden himself?”
* * * *
FROM WELL-TO-DO-FAMILIES
* * * *“Dateline” decided to speak directly with the families of the hijackers in Saudi Arabia. What we found is that when you get on the trail of terrorists in Saudi Arabia, the journey takes you through some pretty nice neighborhoods.
We went to the home of the well-to-do family of Hani Hanjour — the man believed to have flown the plane into the Pentagon on September 11. The Hanjour family is wealthy from car dealerships, selling every make from Chevrolet to Rolls Royce. Hani had money and privilege and access to a U.S. visa, but he was denied the chance to be a pilot for the Saudi national airline.
* * * *We came here to interview the family. We were told the family wanted to talk to Americans about the shocking events of September 11 — events caused in part by one of their family members.
* * * *They even gave us never-before-seen pictures of Hani, hardly images of a zealot, a snapshot he sent home from Arizona, skiing — presumably taken during a break from his pilot training in Phoenix.
* * * *When we got here though we were told the family was in too much pain, too much grief to speak to the media. Then we were told what they really wanted was money — $12,000. Twelve grand to explain why their son was part of the worst terrorist attack in history or $12,000 to deny it, we didn’t hang around to find out.
* * * *But in Kamish, Mushyat, Saudi Arabia, where it is believed five of the hijackers grew up and were recruited, we finally met Salah, a brother of Wail and Waleed Al-Shahiri, both on American Airlines Flight 11 — the first plane to hit the World Trade Center.
* * * *
* * * *John Hockenberry: “Do you think that Walid, Wail, your brothers, were capable of being part of this operation?”
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “In my judgment, impossible. I know them, I know their behavior.”
* * * *John Hockenberry: “What if it is true? What would you say?”
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “If that is true, we have to be realistic. And accept the tragedy.”
* * * *
A FAMILY’S SHOCK
‘They were youth who grew up in a house with the best upbringing. Their behavior was very normal. There is no need to think they had crazy wild thoughts. There was nothing wrong with them. They were very normal.’
— SALAH AL-SHAHIRI
* * * *Like the Hanjours, the Al- Shahiri family is a well-to-do, hard working family. The father built a mosque as a gift to the town. It’s across the street from the home in which Walid and Wail Al-Shahiri grew up.
* * * *
* * * *John Hockenberry: “You grew up in the same house with them. Who were they, as human beings? Who were they?”
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “They were youth who grew up in a house with the best upbringing. Their behavior was very normal. There is no need to think they had crazy wild thoughts. There was nothing wrong with them. They were very normal.”
* * * *
* * * *Salah says his brother’s alienation and eventual recruitment by al-Qaeda was invisible.
* * * *
* * * *John Hockenberry: “They were in their twenties. Is it possible that they were lost? Didn’t know what their future would be? Maybe frustrated?”
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “Regarding Wail, he was a teacher. He graduated from the university and he became a teacher, an art teacher.”
* * * *John Hockenberry: “It appears that your brother found something else to do, be part of al-Qaeda.”
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “I don’t know. It is very difficult to imagine that. It is difficult because the time was very short. There was not enough time for him to be trained to fly a plane. Furthermore, he didn’t know English.”
* * * *
* * * *It’s a denial motivated by family pride. But scratch below the surface and you find truth.
* * * *
* * * *John Hockenberry: “Do you believe they are dead, in your heart?”
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “For me? Yes.”
* * * *John Hockenberry: “You do? You carry that around in your heart, right? That’s a terrible burden?”
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “As for myself, yes.”
More from Dateline
• Schedule
• Homepage
• Newsletter* * * *Salah’s truth bears no resemblance to the official line from the Saudi royals — that the hijackers were religious zealots seeking revenge for the Palestinians.
* * * *
* * * *John Hockenberry: “Were your two brothers religious?”
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “No. Not in the way one might imagine.”
* * * *John Hockenberry: “But your brothers didn’t march in the streets and work day and night to free the Palestinians? Did they?”
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “No.”
* * * *John Hockenberry: “No. Did they talk about getting U.S. military troops out of the kingdom?”
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “No.”
* * * *John Hockenberry: “No. So it looks like your two brothers were brainwashed.”
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “Yes.”
* * * *
* * * *More blindness or is it simply that no one ever asked the right questions of these people? We learned Osama bin Laden is no hero in this household.
* * * *
* * * *John Hockenberry: “There is this famous video of Osama bin Laden speaking in Afghanistan talking about some people on the airplanes in New York and Washington did not even know that they were going to die — had no idea that this was a suicide mission. Is it possible that Walid and Wail were on a plane not knowing what was to happen?”
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “It is possible. They were still immature.”
* * * *John Hockenberry: “It is possible. If so, Osama bin Laden is laughing about the death of your two brothers?”
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “I hated this man for along time. I hate his ideas.”
* * * *John Hockenberry: “But beyond his way of thinking, he’s laughing about what might have been the murder of your two brothers.”
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “He is a devil.”
* * * *
* * * *Can this devil who has devastated this family and struck deep into the heart of America achieve his goal of toppling the kingdom of Saudi Arabia? Prince Turki Al-Faisal, a member of the Saudi royal family, says he’s not worried about Osama bin Laden.
* * * *
* * * *Prince Turki Al-Faisal: “And every time many experts have predicted the downfall of the kingdom. When the revolution in Egypt took place the time they said there’s going to be a domino effect in the Arab world and all the kings will disappear. The kingdom did not.”
* * * *
* * * *And there’s little sign the U.S.-Saudi arrangement is about to disappear anytime soon. But the jury is still out on this kingdom in the Arabian Desert. The victims of September 11 are demanding unprecedented compensation for what they say was Saudi Arabia ignoring terrorists in their midst.
* * * *In its few statements, Saudi Arabia has officially condemned the attacks on September 11 and said they are working side by side with the U.S. in the war on terror. We got something more on our journey to Saudi Arabia — a heartfelt apology to the American people from an ordinary man at the center of an extraordinary tragedy.
* * * *
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “What I want to say for the American people, we are very sorry what happened in 11th September for the families, for everybody.”
* * * *John Hockenberry: “After all that’s happened, can Americans and Saudis still be friends?”
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “Yes.”
* * * *John Hockenberry: “In English.”
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “Yes.”
* * * *John Hockenberry: “Do you believe it?”
* * * *Salah Al-Shahiri: “Yes. I believe it.”
* * * *Despite the Saudi assertion that it’s working “side by side” with America in the war on terror, U.S. investigators have not been able to talk to the families of the hijacking suspects as “Dateline” has done. The Saudis say they are conducting their own investigation.

DEMOLITION TEAMS RELATE GROUND ZERO EXPERIENCES
Implosionworld.com Exclusive, March 29, 2003
Although every speaker captivated the standing-room only crowd with various stories, it was Dannenfelser who provided some of the most compelling observations. Having spent months coordinating retrieval efforts at the Fresh Kills Landfill in Staten Island, he spoke of working closely with the FBI and other agencies in developing various types of debris filtering machines, including one that could recognize small amounts of "human material" for DNA identification. He also spoke of retrieving, "about 10,000 pieces of the airplanes, which I kept in a pile by my truck for safekeeping."
Nice little piece, that There is also bad news in there for the CTs who believe:
1) Material was hastily shipped to China without examination.
2) Contolled Demolition Inc were the only demoltion contractors at Ground Zero.
3) No planes hit the towers.

For anyone wanting a little soundbyte piece of info for rebutting claims of "paralysed air defences"
From my NORAD document (http://screwloosechange.xbehome.com/fst/NORAD.pdf) the following important information can be gathered:
The time from first sign of hijacking to NEADS being notified of the hijacking, and then how much time NORAD had after being notified to carry out an intercept:
AA11 - NEADS notified 24 minutes after first sign of hijacking and 9 minutes before it hit the North Tower
UA175 - NEADS notified 11 minutes after first sign of hijacking and 0 minutes before it hit the South Tower
AA77 - NEADS nofified 41 minutes after first sign of hijacking and 2 minutes before it hit The Pentagon
UA93 - NEADS notified 28 minutes after first sign of hijacking and 4 minutes after it had crashed
These useful bits of info quickly dispell claims of a stand-down or "Air Defense Failure" (if you find yourself going into more detail feel free to refer to my summary).

There does seem to be some sexism at work among the Deniers. Have you seen their poster for 9-11? They managed to put six faces on it and this being the era of multi-culti nonsense, they made sure one was black and one Hispanic. Two look remarkably like Dylan and Korey. But none of them are female:

Daily walk through the LC forum reveals this bit of CT logic. This quote is from merc who announced in this thread their revolutionary finding while in DC that "there was a plane".
There is no evidence of a missile anywhere, not even to make the damage. Maybe this plane fired a missile or a drone as it passed over, or the trailer was prepositioned to fire one
So merc says there was no evidence of a missile and merc says maybe the plane fired a missile.
Thanks for clearing that up merc and thanks for yet again showing the world why CT logic, isn't logic at all.

You need merely type "9/11 conspiracy" into an Internet search engine to become swept into this seductive web of nonsense. The creators of films like "Loose Change" (perfectly titled because it doesn't add up to much) and Web sites like www.911Truth.org pick through the details of one of this nation's darkest days with the paranoid verve of mad patriots, convinced they are uncovering the truth behind their worst fears.

Jeez.
From the same thread with the seance guy: (http://s15.invisionfree.com/Loose_Change_Forum/index.php?showtopic=11739&view=findpost&p=6959092)
When someone asks you why they bothered to swap out the planes if the people inside likely never saw 9/12 anyway...
911 was a PsyOp... a Psychological Operation. TV was the primary delivery system (print being second), and there were 300 million targets domestically alone.
You can't show dead bodies on tv. You can't put dead bodies in the paper. You can't show bodyparts. For the 2 non-trade tower attacks, they wanted some closeup coverage in order to deliver the fullest terror effect. They could zoom right in on the pentagon. If there had been 80 bodies shredded on the lawn and a lot of luggage, they would have been forced to only show plumes of smoke from a block away. And that doesn't scare people like a hole in the building we trust to keep us safe.
People were dead the moment they bought their ticket and probably never saw lunchtime that day. But you just can't have that on TV if you want to be able to parade the footage over and over for presidential grandstanding purposes.
:confused: :confused:
So "They" are OK with intentionally murdering thousands of "Their" own citizens for reasons which are unclear at best, and they leave dozens if not hundreds of "smoking guns" laying around for every bored conspiracy kook with an internet connection to find, but evidently they're worried about violating FCC broadcast decency standards by showing dead bodies? "They" control the media with an iron fist, but they "aren't allowed" to show some teeth, guts, and eyeballs on TV? :boggled:
Never mind that most people with two sparking neurons to rub together fully realized that they were witnessing hundreds of people dying instantly when each plane crashed, and they also witnessed thousands more being burned alive and ground into mush as the buildings fell , on LIVE TV NO LESS, I guess the whole plot would just come undone if we didn't fake a crash out in the middle of Nowheresville, PA.
Frank Zappa was once quoted thusly: "Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe. And stupidity has a longer shelf life."
I guess he was in on it, too...

I've noticed over on the LC forums that it appears the LTW crew (and their faithful apostles) have been doing their fair share of one-on-one interviews.
Knowing Avery's propensity for editing and quote-mining others' work, what problem will this pose for fact checking LC:FC? If he's the only one with the footage, he can edit/splice/mine all he wants and no one would be the wiser. One can always contact the interviewee and ask how accurate the claims are (whatever they may be), but unless that person publicly speaks out, it becomes a battle of he-said/he-said. Dylan's word vs. Gravy's (for example).
Granted there's a lot of that going on already, but I can see FC easily "proving" 9/11 was an inside job to a whole new crowd of naive 15 year-olds. Am I being paranoid? Giving Avery too much credit?

I've noticed over on the LC forums that it appears the LTW crew (and their faithful apostles) have been doing their fair share of one-on-one interviews.
Knowing Avery's propensity for editing and quote-mining others' work, what problem will this pose for fact checking LC:FC? If he's the only one with the footage, he can edit/splice/mine all he wants and no one would be the wiser. One can always contact the interviewee and ask how accurate the claims are (whatever they may be), but unless that person publicly speaks out, it becomes a battle of he-said/he-said. Dylan's word vs. Gravy's (for example).
Granted there's a lot of that going on already, but I can see FC easily "proving" 9/11 was an inside job to a whole new crowd of naive 15 year-olds. Am I being paranoid? Giving Avery too much credit?
... Or do I just need to find a new hobby?
You're quite right. Avery posted the 'smorgasbord' video a while back which was complete unedited interviews (v. dull). Even the hardcore CTists interviewed made minor fumbles which Avery would be wise to edit out (assuming he's out to decieve). In those cases it would be pointless contacting the interviewee.

Who was that nutcase (pre-9/11 conspiracies) who regularly fingerprinted his daughter, because he was afraid the CIA would substitute a fake?
I just looked it up - it was Charles Spiesel (http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/jimlie7.htm), one of Jim Garrison's star witnesses in the trial against Clay Shaw for conspiring to kill Kennedy. He was one of only two witnesses he had linking Shaw to the assassination, and the other (Perry Russo) completely recanted his account at the trial.
Garrison was preparing to put on the stand a witness who, apart from testifying that he had heard Shaw discussing assassinating Kennedy, was under the impression that the government broke into his house from time to time and substituted "dead ringers" for his children, who then spied on him. (To foil the fiends, he periodically fingerprinted his children.) He believed that he had been hypnotized at least 50 times against his will, and so on.

NIST Responds to 9/11 Truthers
http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/factsheets/faqs_8_2006.htm
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Some GOOD STUFF!!!:
From video evidence, significant portions of the cores of both buildings (roughly 60 stories of WTC 1 and 40 stories of WTC 2) are known to have stood 15 to 25 seconds after collapse initiation before they, too, began to collapse. Neither the duration of the seismic records nor video evidence (due to obstruction of view caused by debris clouds) are reliable indicators of the total time it took for each building to collapse completely.
UL did not certify any steel as suggested. In fact, in U.S. practice, steel is not certified at all; rather structural assemblies are tested for their fire resistance rating in accordance with a standard procedure such as ASTM E 119 (see NCSTAR 1-6B). That the steel was “certified ... to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit for six hours” is simply not true.
9. If thick black smoke is characteristic of an oxygen-starved, lower temperature, less intense fire, why was thick black smoke exiting the WTC towers when the fires inside were supposed to be extremely hot?
Nearly all indoor large fires, including those of the principal combustibles in the WTC towers, produce large quantities of optically thick, dark smoke. This is because, at the locations where the actual burning is taking place, the oxygen is severely depleted and the combustibles are not completely oxidized to colorless carbon dioxide and water.
The visible part of fire smoke consists of small soot particles whose formation is favored by the incomplete combustion associated with oxygen-depleted burning. Once formed, the soot from the tower fires was rapidly pushed away from the fires into less hot regions of the building or directly to broken windows and breaks in the building exterior. At these lower temperatures, the soot could no longer burn away. Thus, people saw the thick dark smoke characteristic of burning under oxygen-depleted conditions.
11. Why do some photographs show a yellow stream of molten metal pouring down the side of WTC2 that NIST claims was aluminum from the crashed plane although aluminum burns with a white glow?
NIST reported (NCSTAR 1-5A) that just before 9:52 a.m., a bright spot appeared at the top of a window on the 80th floor of WTC 2, four windows removed from the east edge on the north face, followed by the flow of a glowing liquid. This flow lasted approximately four seconds before subsiding. Many such liquid flows were observed from near this location in the seven minutes leading up to the collapse of this tower. There is no evidence of similar molten liquid pouring out from another location in WTC 2 or from anywhere within WTC 1.
Photographs, and NIST simulations of the aircraft impact, show large piles of debris in the 80th and 81st floors of WTC 2 near the site where the glowing liquid eventually appeared. Much of this debris came from the aircraft itself and from the office furnishings that the aircraft pushed forward as it tunneled to this far end of the building. Large fires developed on these piles shortly after the aircraft impact and continued to burn in the area until the tower collapsed.
NIST concluded that the source of the molten material was aluminum alloys from the aircraft, since these are known to melt between 475 degrees Celsius and 640 degrees Celsius (depending on the particular alloy), well below the expected temperatures (about 1,000 degrees Celsius) in the vicinity of the fires. Aluminum is not expected to ignite at normal fire temperatures and there is no visual indication that the material flowing from the tower was burning.
Pure liquid aluminum would be expected to appear silvery. However, the molten metal was very likely mixed with large amounts of hot, partially burned, solid organic materials (e.g., furniture, carpets, partitions and computers) which can display an orange glow, much like logs burning in a fireplace. The apparent color also would have been affected by slag formation on the surface.

They even talk about sulfur and the molten metal
http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/factsheets/faqs_8_2006.htm
12. Did the NIST investigation look for evidence of the WTC towers being brought down by controlled demolition? Was the steel tested for explosives or thermite residues? The combination of thermite and sulfur (called thermate) "slices through steel like a hot knife through butter."
NIST did not test for the residue of these compounds in the steel.
The responses to questions number 2, 4, 5 and 11 demonstrate why NIST concluded that there were no explosives or controlled demolition involved in the collapses of the WTC towers.
Furthermore, a very large quantity of thermite (a mixture of powdered or granular aluminum metal and powdered iron oxide that burns at extremely high temperatures when ignited) or another incendiary compound would have had to be placed on at least the number of columns damaged by the aircraft impact and weakened by the subsequent fires to bring down a tower. Thermite burns slowly relative to explosive materials and can require several minutes in contact with a massive steel section to heat it to a temperature that would result in substantial weakening. Separate from the WTC towers investigation, NIST researchers estimated that at least 0.13 pounds of thermite would be required to heat each pound of a steel section to approximately 700 degrees Celsius (the temperature at which steel weakens substantially). Therefore, while a thermite reaction can cut through large steel columns, many thousands of pounds of thermite would need to have been placed inconspicuously ahead of time, remotely ignited, and somehow held in direct contact with the surface of hundreds of massive structural components to weaken the building. This makes it an unlikely substance for achieving a controlled demolition.
Analysis of the WTC steel for the elements in thermite/thermate would not necessarily have been conclusive. The metal compounds also would have been present in the construction materials making up the WTC towers, and sulfur is present in the gypsum wallboard that was prevalent in the interior partitions.
13. Why did the NIST investigation not consider reports of molten steel in the wreckage
from the WTC towers?
NIST investigators and experts from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the Structural Engineers Association of New York (SEONY)—who inspected the WTC steel at the WTC site and the salvage yards—found no evidence that would support the melting of steel in a jet-fuel ignited fire in the towers prior to collapse. The condition of the steel in the wreckage of the WTC towers (i.e., whether it was in a molten state or not) was irrelevant to the investigation of the collapse since it does not provide any conclusive information on the condition of the steel when the WTC towers were standing.
NIST considered the damage to the steel structure and its fireproofing caused by the aircraft impact and the subsequent fires when the buildings were still standing since that damage was responsible for initiating the collapse of the WTC towers.
Under certain circumstances it is conceivable for some of the steel in the wreckage to have melted after the buildings collapsed. Any molten steel in the wreckage was more likely due to the high temperature resulting from long exposure to combustion within the pile than to short exposure to fires or explosions while the buildings were standing.
They also state the report on WTC 7 wont be out until early 2007.
Expect this document to be attacked.

NIST Responds to 9/11 Truthers
http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/factsheets/faqs_8_2006.htm
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Some GOOD STUFF!!!:
From video evidence, significant portions of the cores of both buildings (roughly 60 stories of WTC 1 and 40 stories of WTC 2) are known to have stood 15 to 25 seconds after collapse initiation before they, too, began to collapse. Neither the duration of the seismic records nor video evidence (due to obstruction of view caused by debris clouds) are reliable indicators of the total time it took for each building to collapse completely.
UL did not certify any steel as suggested. In fact, in U.S. practice, steel is not certified at all; rather structural assemblies are tested for their fire resistance rating in accordance with a standard procedure such as ASTM E 119 (see NCSTAR 1-6B). That the steel was “certified ... to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit for six hours” is simply not true.
9. If thick black smoke is characteristic of an oxygen-starved, lower temperature, less intense fire, why was thick black smoke exiting the WTC towers when the fires inside were supposed to be extremely hot?
Nearly all indoor large fires, including those of the principal combustibles in the WTC towers, produce large quantities of optically thick, dark smoke. This is because, at the locations where the actual burning is taking place, the oxygen is severely depleted and the combustibles are not completely oxidized to colorless carbon dioxide and water.
The visible part of fire smoke consists of small soot particles whose formation is favored by the incomplete combustion associated with oxygen-depleted burning. Once formed, the soot from the tower fires was rapidly pushed away from the fires into less hot regions of the building or directly to broken windows and breaks in the building exterior. At these lower temperatures, the soot could no longer burn away. Thus, people saw the thick dark smoke characteristic of burning under oxygen-depleted conditions.
11. Why do some photographs show a yellow stream of molten metal pouring down the side of WTC2 that NIST claims was aluminum from the crashed plane although aluminum burns with a white glow?
NIST reported (NCSTAR 1-5A) that just before 9:52 a.m., a bright spot appeared at the top of a window on the 80th floor of WTC 2, four windows removed from the east edge on the north face, followed by the flow of a glowing liquid. This flow lasted approximately four seconds before subsiding. Many such liquid flows were observed from near this location in the seven minutes leading up to the collapse of this tower. There is no evidence of similar molten liquid pouring out from another location in WTC 2 or from anywhere within WTC 1.
Photographs, and NIST simulations of the aircraft impact, show large piles of debris in the 80th and 81st floors of WTC 2 near the site where the glowing liquid eventually appeared. Much of this debris came from the aircraft itself and from the office furnishings that the aircraft pushed forward as it tunneled to this far end of the building. Large fires developed on these piles shortly after the aircraft impact and continued to burn in the area until the tower collapsed.
NIST concluded that the source of the molten material was aluminum alloys from the aircraft, since these are known to melt between 475 degrees Celsius and 640 degrees Celsius (depending on the particular alloy), well below the expected temperatures (about 1,000 degrees Celsius) in the vicinity of the fires. Aluminum is not expected to ignite at normal fire temperatures and there is no visual indication that the material flowing from the tower was burning.
Pure liquid aluminum would be expected to appear silvery. However, the molten metal was very likely mixed with large amounts of hot, partially burned, solid organic materials (e.g., furniture, carpets, partitions and computers) which can display an orange glow, much like logs burning in a fireplace. The apparent color also would have been affected by slag formation on the surface.
Good stuff. A certain professor in Utah will not like this.
NIST did not test for the residue of these compounds in the steel.
The responses to questions number 2, 4, 5 and 11 demonstrate why NIST concluded that there were no explosives or controlled demolition involved in the collapses of the WTC towers.
Furthermore, a very large quantity of thermite (a mixture of powdered or granular aluminum metal and powdered iron oxide that burns at extremely high temperatures when ignited) or another incendiary compound would have had to be placed on at least the number of columns damaged by the aircraft impact and weakened by the subsequent fires to bring down a tower. Thermite burns slowly relative to explosive materials and can require several minutes in contact with a massive steel section to heat it to a temperature that would result in substantial weakening. Separate from the WTC towers investigation, NIST researchers estimated that at least 0.13 pounds of thermite would be required to heat each pound of a steel section to approximately 700 degrees Celsius (the temperature at which steel weakens substantially). Therefore, while a thermite reaction can cut through large steel columns, many thousands of pounds of thermite would need to have been placed inconspicuously ahead of time, remotely ignited, and somehow held in direct contact with the surface of hundreds of massive structural components to weaken the building. This makes it an unlikely substance for achieving a controlled demolition.
Analysis of the WTC steel for the elements in thermite/thermate would not necessarily have been conclusive. The metal compounds also would have been present in the construction materials making up the WTC towers, and sulfur is present in the gypsum wallboard that was prevalent in the interior partitions.

5. Why were two distinct spikes—one for each tower—seen in seismic records before the towers collapsed? Isn't this indicative of an explosion occurring in each tower?
The seismic spikes for the collapse of the WTC Towers are the result of debris from the collapsing towers impacting the ground. The spikes began approximately 10 seconds after the times for the start of each building’s collapse and continued for approximately 15 seconds. There were no seismic signals that occurred prior to the initiation of the collapse of either tower. The seismic record contains no evidence that would indicate explosions occurring prior to the collapse of the towers.
Clearly the NIST didn't see the footage of that one chick's camera (on a tripod no less!!@#) shaking 12 seconds prior to collapse. This whole investigation is clearly a sham.

As an interesting to me, at least) aside, what these young "Troofers" fail to realize is that they have, on their desks (or possibly in their laps), as much, if not more, computing power than existed in 1960--total!
By comparison with todays standards, the Space Shuttle (STS) was designed on "the back of an envelope"
This, in my opinion, taint's their worldview--they can't believe that people could actually design and build without computer help, and that the norm today wasn't always the case.

Check out the top of the ST911 site. Jones is asserting his power
If America is destroyed, it may be by Americans who salute the flag, sing the national anthem, march in patriotic parades, cheer Fourth of July speakers - normally good Americans who fail to comprehend what is required to keep our country strong and free - Americans who have been lulled into a false security (April 1968).
--Ezra Taft Benson, US Secretary of Agriculture 1953-1961 under Eisenhower
Respect my authoritay!
http://www.tonyrogers.com/news/images/cartman_cop.jpg
Oops... I missed this one by about 30 pages.
Anyway, here's the extra bit that JamesB sort of missed.
He's absolutely right about Jones laying claim to a certain type of authroity, but it's not that of the Dept. of Agriculture. After he left government service at the end of the Eisenhower administration, Ezra Taft Benson returned to full time service in the mormon church. At the time of his appointment to the presidental cabinet, he was already a member of the Quorum of The Twelve, the ruling body of the LDS church. In 1985, he became the prophet and highest mortal authority in the church.
To the average Joe, Professor Jones is making an obscure political reference. What he is really doing, is placing himself on the right hand of the right hand of God.
Not that any of you would be suprised at this, we all knew already that Jones is an arrogant schmuck.

Who knows. Maybe Kubrick had that in his original story, maybe he didn't. Spielberg is the only person alive who would know. Having said that, Kubrick was a little nuts about this project so maybe... (he insisted on communicating purely via a fax that he kept hidden in his wardrobe. Spielberg had to have his own "secret" dedicated fax hidden away somewhere too) This went on for a good decade.

Kubrick had never done a story anything like that, hence why he wanted Spielberg to do it - because Kubrick didn't know how to do a fairytale. Fairy tales usually have happy endings.

I think it depends how you define "happy". Under certain conditions, I'd say most of his films had happy endings.

:confused: What aliens?
Kubrick had never done a story anything like that, hence why he wanted Spielberg to do it - because Kubrick didn't know how to do a fairytale. Fairy tales usually have happy endings.
You are right of course, it does feel tacked on. And there's a pretty good chance it is added on. But whether Spielberg added it, or whether Kubrick did, we may never know.

Sorry they are "Super Robots". Although it seems that they were made using ideas for the aliens from Close Encounters that never got made. I actually thought those were aliens all this time, at least super robots aren't quite as bad.

So wait, that means I can still blame Spielburg for that piece of [rule8] add on at the end that totally ruined the ending right? Either that or Kubrick had alzheimers or something that made him go crazy and tack that on right??
Ruining the ending implies that the 17 hours of mind-numbing film before that was actually not all that mind-numbing. That was not the case.
I had never contemplated suicide during a Spielberg flick before A.I. And that talking fabric softener bear can go straight to hell and die.
And yes, my morning's going just fine. Why do you ask?

I guarantee this will offend someone so if you're easily offended don't watch. It's "Cuddles" the fabric softener bear on robot chicken.

Oops... I missed this one by about 30 pages.
Anyway, here's the extra bit that JamesB sort of missed.
He's absolutely right about Jones laying claim to a certain type of authroity, but it's not that of the Dept. of Agriculture. After he left government service at the end of the Eisenhower administration, Ezra Taft Benson returned to full time service in the mormon church. At the time of his appointment to the presidental cabinet, he was already a member of the Quorum of The Twelve, the ruling body of the LDS church. In 1985, he became the prophet and highest mortal authority in the church.
To the average Joe, Professor Jones is making an obscure political reference. What he is really doing, is placing himself on the right hand of the right hand of God.
Not that any of you would be suprised at this, we all knew already that Jones is an arrogant schmuck.
I didn't "miss" that, that was my point. I was wondering if anyone else would make the connection. Why else would someone be quoting an obscure Secretary of Agriculture? Obviously Jones put that up because of his religious beliefs.

OK - so what are we talking about here.
Is it about: who has control of the Scholars and its webpage? I agree that for the reasons given, it is likely that Jones has had a hand in this quote at least.
Or is it about: why did he pick that quote? Because of his religious beliefs. Or perhaps because of the perspective in which he sees what he's doing, informed by those religious beliefs. In other words, his take on the morality of what he's doing.
But aren't we dangerously close to ad hominem arguments here? "Look at the rabidly religious arrogant person Jones is... he must therefore be doing bad science".
I hope that this is not what was intended.

I've used the Mac version of this:
http://www.squared5.com/
haven't tried the Windows version. It'll merge MPEGs as well as split them. You may need to do a timecode repair after merging two (or more) MPEGs.

I would. Easy. In fact Kubrick even acknowledge Spielberg's superior skills by begging him to do A.I. (Spielberg refused, but agreed to write the screenplay and help out).
Not exactly.
I thought he was out of his mind. I felt he was giving up one of the best stories that I felt he had ever told. I immediately began talking him back into directing it, but he was adamant that I do it. He said this story is closer to your sensibilities than my own. He never gave me any other reason.
Also, Kubrick wanted still wanted to produce the film. He wanted to work with Spielberg.
They are different directors with different styles. The sad reality is that Spielberg just didn't have it in him to turn Kubrick's storyboards into a great film.

Not to derail further, Delphi, but, personally, I haven't seen Kubrick turn one of his storyboards into a great film.
