not so fast, mister. sunt niste intrebari si niste discrepante, care asa acum am mai zis, mi se par foarte legitime de ridicat si de examinat. uite care:
- "no steel frame building has ever failed due to fire, before or since 9/11; on that date, three buildings totally collapsed.
-the two twin towers, which were specifically engineered to withstand being struck accidentally by a large airplane, each collapsed in less than 10 seconds — the same length of time it would take an object thrown from the top floor to fall
unimpeded to the street below. calculations by physicists suggest that the collapse of these towers, simply from their own weight, would take much longer than 10 seconds.
- building 7, a 47-story skyscraper and part of the World Trade Center complex, was not struck by a plane but collapsed in less than 7 seconds on September 11, in the manner of a controlled demolition.
-survivors testified to hearing explosions in the basements of both twin towers.
-office fires burn at low temperatures of 600-800F. jet fuel is an ordinary hydrocarbon; its maximal burning temperature is 1200F in open air. steel melts at 2750F. neither burning jet fuel nor the burning contents of the buildings would cause the towers’ steel structure to buckle or fail.
nici chestia cu pasaportul lui atta nu e de nebagat in seama. macar asa ca anecdota, caci trebuie sa recunoastem, e culmea norocului sa gasesti pasaportul teroristului sef in mijlocul strazii dar sa nu recuperezi nici una din cutiile negre. convenient, nu-i asa?
cat despre larry silverstein, nici in acest caz nu mi se pare exagerat si ridicol sa se puna niste intrebari. nu cred ca e ceva suspicios in faptul ca asigurarea pentru wtc includea atacuri teroriste, in definitiv exista un precedent, si nici ca a cerut despagubiri duble cu argumentul 2 turnuri, 2 avioane, 2 atacuri diferite. dar celebra declaratie cu "pull" re: wtc 7 merita ceva atentie, mai ales pusa in contextul achizitiei contractului de inchiriere pentru gemeni si de ce nu, a profitului urias pe care l-a facut. altfel, ar fi o alta coincidenta norocoasa.
