I know they recovered wing tip fragments from the Pentagon suggesting that the tip of the wing clipped the ground just as it hit.
Could those be the fragments? |

If you look at it long enough and squint your left eye while sticking a fork into your right eye while hopping up and down on one foot and clucking like a hen, you can clearly see...

oh, its metal alright.
Hint: It was not found at ground zero, but is relevant to 911 by its absence. |

I'm guessing it's the remains of a plane crash. But not one that occurred on 9/11?

Pieces of the luggage of which of course there was none at any of the crashes. so if I am correct it must have been planted.

Ding!
They are strips of copper used to brace cutting charges. These were all over the recent implosion of Philadelphia's civic center. The copper is exactly the color shown. Pink, purple, and all. These strips were everywhere, covered by the plywood boxes that covered the charges, as well as scraps of cloth put over the charges. Oh, and did I mention the huge lengths of burnt detcord? This is the stuff demoltion experts say would have been present had CD been used. |

That's like the theory that WTC 7 had to be destroyed because it housed the control center for the destruction of WTC 1/2 ...
CT-theories have the same striking explanatory power as ID. |

Most of the pieces look like the blade from my lawnmower. You mean my mower was used to bring down WTC7?
No wonder I couldn't find it in the garage! |

But Willie Rodriguez is making a living out of touring the world telling everybody about explosions in the basement.
Does thermite make big explosions? |

If there was a tail section protruding out of the ground in that picture, I would finally be convinced it was flight 93 that crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

I didn't guess it, but I can guess why they use copper. 'Cause it doesn't make sparks, striking steel.

So you're saying the bombs in the WTC blew those copper strips all the way to Philly?
Thankyou.[/cf] |

More fun photos from the demolition site:
As my friend who was on site states: "The one shows the plasma deposited copper from cutting charges placed opposite each other on the sides of the beam. You can see the smoother, irregular melted look of what oxy-acetylene torch cut steel looks like in comparison to the cutting charge a the ends of the cut." He continues: "This is what the plywood (3/4") sheathing covering the charges looks like, complete with a copper fragment of the charge protruding through it. The burnt spots are from the ends of the charge where the explosive is exposed. it shows just how contained the explosive is, no mound of toothpicks here, even though the blast blew the panel off the box. " Plywood cover boxes and burnt detecord are all over the site. |

Incidently, with regards to the first picture in my OP. That is the actual color of the copper having been exposed to the explosion. It is not the result of bad photo color work or JPG compression. It really is purple and pink(-ish).

I actually thought the original picture was dead electric eels, where their batteries leaked all over and discolored 'em. 'specially that one on the middle left, the one that looks like a sperm whale. Maybe that one was a sperm whale fetus?
