Life after people
Has anyone watched this series, in which the fate of mankind's creations is tracked after mankind is wiped out in some theoretical catastrophe?
Eventually - after decades or even centuries - the skyscrapers fall, basically because of corrosion and erosion caused by weather. The documentary's makers always have those high-rises falling spontaneously straight down (maybe with a little lean, as we saw at WTC7) when the final straw breaks that particular camel's back. Are they being paid off by the NWO to support the myth that only nanothermite can achieve this effect? |

No 9/11 conspiracy with this series. However eco-fanatics probably think paradise could be achieved if we didn’t have these humans around to mess things up.

What is this path of most/least resistance anyway?
Isn't the REAL term we're searching for "only"? As in the path of only resistance? Anyway, Love the series. I fancy myself one of those eco-people who think the concept is pretty heavenly....Pesky people piss me off. |

This is why SCUD missiles never hit me in the gulf, the parts hit other things, not me, I was not the path of least resistance. Why bullets never kill people, they go around the person and continue in the path of least resistance, the air.
Or was I in danger because I was weakest link? In the future super nano bots using thermite created by Jones and programed by DRG will destroy high-rise buildings after decades of neglect, the final inside job by the Crazy Nuts of 911 Truth, a secret organization working for the anti-NWO, same as it ever was. |

Clearly these film-makers have never attended the Truther University of Common Sense. Had they done so they would know that skyscrapers always fall over sideways in natural events. Even if nothing pushes them over. Clearly. It's obvious. Middle school physics. Ask anyone with a Truther U degree.

Something many Truthers misunderstand. They assume straight down=maximum damage=most resistance, which isn't necessarily true. If straight down with maximum damage involves the least work then that is what nature will arrange, as shifting all that falling debris off sideways would actually involve more work.
And if it's easier for the golf ball to break the window then it won't be bothered to bounce off it. "Nature is thrifty in all its actions" - Pierre Maupertuis Fascinating series. The last one I saw had a load of dead people turning to oil reserves millions of years later

If you want to see what happens a city after the people are long gone, there is one in Russia.
Chernobyl's Radioactive Wolves There have been massive increases in large carnivores in the nuclear wasteland around Chernobyl creating a complete ecosystem and one of Europe’s largest wildlife sanctuaries – and yet it’s radioactive. Where humans can’t live, nature is rebounding and somewhere in this vast nuclear wilderness, there are packs of radioactive wolves, living in an archaic structure that has vanished from other parts of Europe. Here they can thrive, here they can live like real wolves in large packs as they used to. Before 1986, the zone was heavily farmed and populated, and wolves were scarce. In less than 25 years there are an estimated 300+ wolves making the most of this deceptively beautiful landscape. But are these they mutants? Have they been affected by nuclear contamination after the 1986 explosion which released 100 times more radio-nuclides than Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined? The video was worth watching http://www.oasishd.ca/index.php?opti...catc&Itemid=3# |

Hadn't heard about the wolves, but here's an amazing 360 degree picture of Pripyat, a city evacuated after Chernobyl, now filled with trees.

Very cool. I spotted the Ferris wheel and the freakishly huge (window sized) aspen leaves. At least they looked like aspen leaves to me. Does elephant ear grow there?
Point maximum down, spin around till you see the black top road running away from your point of view, then the next building clockwise. Look on the roof. What the heck has leaves that size? |

The reactor itself isn't safe from Nature's grubby little mitts. There is a kind of mushroom in there that eats nuclear reactor for lunch.

Those leaves don't really look like they're on the roof to me - could it be a mistake in the stitching process?
I'm wondering what the letters are all about: [IMG] [/IMG]

What we need here are the creative minds of the conspiracy folks. They are able to find the most interesting and impossible things in photographs. While the Kennedy and 911 guys are still hip-deep in the tempests of detailed debate, I believe the "face on Mars" people are free and casting about for new photos to explain.
Frankly, I need help here. I have searched and searched and not found one image of Jesus or Pol Pot. I agree that the jumbo leaves have to be an artifact, but I still wonder how they got inserted. Since those types of trees (poplar maybe?) are growing on other roofs, the picture may have been shot through the branches of one on the roof from which the pictures were taken. I haz curiosities and puzzlements. |

You can see that in action in Detroit Michigan up close and personal minus risk of radiation.

It's a blog with several shots of "feral houses" shot in Detroit. Those houses in summer, some of them cannot be found for the greenery gone wild. You can see Nature taking over in parts of Detroit without fear of radiation sickness, although you need to watch for things living in the green.
Important is in the eye of the linker.

They look kind of like sunflower leaves, but the stem doesn't look like a sunflower stalk:
Photoshop maybe? |
