Tin Foiler Claim Bridge Collapse Caused BY ULF Radio Waves

Tin foil loons at ABOVE TOP SECRET going nuts over this claim that Minnesota
bridge collapse caused by ULF (Ultra Low Frequency) burst of radio waves
Supposedly detected by radio astronomers in Siberia - of course they all
believe it was NWO plot

We should collect the very best of these and compile them into a video or broadcast, or at least a written compendium, so when the fence sitters come over here, we can show them what falling on that side of the fence means...

OMG!!!!

TAM:)

The bridge was shown to have had corrosion problems and repairs put off. Nobody should try to paint this as a possible conspiracy. What would be the motive? There is a world of difference between a bridge with a proven record of poor maintenance losing its main span and collapsing through air and the vertical pulverization collapse of the twin towers.

It is also disingenuous for anyone who disagrees with those who believe that 911 should be further scrutinized to attempt to paint them all as loons because of a couple of true fools.

I live on the western edge of Wisconsin so this incident occurred relatively close. I had read that they had put off repairing the bridge and that it was actually under construction when it collapsed. The reason given was several issues with structural flaws. A couple days later someone at work mentioned that there was already theories that it was a terrorist attack, that some people claimed to have heard bombs go off just before it collapsed. I thought they were joking. This is pathetic. Do none of them understand that there is absolutely no reason that terrorists or even our own government would have destroyed this bridge? Out of all the possible choices lets chose a relatively unimportant bridge!

Yeah, no one flew a plane into the bridge.

How so? Doesn't it occur to you that your reaction to the ramblings of a 'couple of true fools' is exactly the same as our reaction to the 'truth' movement? There's nothing in this CT about the bridge collapse any more unbelievable than 'remote controlled planes', 'therm?te', 'flyovers' or 'teh jooz dun it'.

The 'truth' movement is on exactly the same fringe as the ULF fantasists. Think about that. If they're loons, what are you?

believe it was NWO plot.Uh, how did radio astronomers in Siberia detect these radio waves considering the bulk of the Earth was between them and Minnesota. Did these radio waves penetrate the Earth? Did they bounce off the Moon or something? Did these radio astronomers in Siberia have their radio dishes pointed at the ground? Are there any radio astronomers in Siberia?

[ktesibios]

The Sucha Fool article came in handy in that it contained a link to the website for the Siberian Solar Radio Telescope, which is what is claimed to have detected the ULF bursts.

On the page describing the telescope itself, it says:

The SSRT is a special-purpose solar radio telescope designed for studying solar activity in the microwave range (5.7 GHz) where the processes occuring in the solar corona are accessible to observation over the entire solar disk. The SSRT sensitivity is such that it is possible to observe active regions at all stages of their development, at the background of the emission of an undisturbed solar atmosphere. Signal accumulation in the radio telescope's full reception band is used to obtain radio images of faint features in the solar atmosphere. Fast varying emission of flares is recorded at additive linear interferometers comprising the SSRT. (bolding mine)

Source: http://ssrt.iszf.irk.ru/rad11en.shtml (nice of them to write it in English)

That's consistent with the general principle that radio astronomers observe the sky in the microwave spectrum. On the site's main page I found references to solar observations made at a wavelength of 5.2 cm, which corresponds to a frequency of 5.7-odd GHz.

The radio spectrum is arbitraily divided into bands, each of which spans one decade in frequency, with the boundaries located so that the corresponding wavelengths in meters are powers of 10. For example, HF (high frequency) spans 3 MHz to 30 MHZ (100m to 10m), VHF 30 MHz to 300 MHz, MF (medium frequency) 300 kHz to 3 MHz and so forth. In this system "ULF" refers to 300 Hz to 3 kHz- the audio bandwidth of a telephone.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_spectrum

So, how is a radio telescope designed to receive signals at 5.7 GHz going to detect EM waves at a maximum frequency more than 6 orders of magnitude lower than that? Answer: it isn't going to.

To anyone who has any knowledge at all of radio, the claim is utterly absurd on its face. Of course, since the vast majority of people haven't a clue about just what is happening when they throw a switch and the lights in a room come on, it's not surprising that there are plenty who will fall for such ignorant @#$%.

Well well well - Huston we have a problem. The bridge collapsed into the river at about 6.11pm local time. That is 3.11am 2 August Irkutsk time.

Now at 3.41am 2nd August the Observatory completed it's daily observing run of the sun http://www.ssrt.org.ru/

The actual observing run is in increments of 2.5 minutes for a total of 40 minutes http://ssrt.iszf.irk.ru/rad21en.shtml

So basically the scopes could not be doing two jobs at the same time. There is further information on the site about how the individual dishes have to be positoned to work at the favoured 5.2cm frequency, and how the geometry works out in combining the data.

However - Would not it be more likely for sesmigraphs to pick these vibrations up in the form of S and F waves rebounding through the Earths mantle

Interesting footage...
