This case needs few people, and positively motivated. It seems to me
you personally wouldn't mind being involved in such an operation, quite possible even without material interest. You would be wrong - because planting explosives in a building occupied by people would be WRONG. What if there ws no terrorist attack and instead just a small fire, one that triggered the explosives? If I were in the group of mythical people who installed the explosives, I would be the first person to say, "Wait a minute, guys - what happens if some terrorist finds out the building is pre-wired and finds a way to trip the explosives?? We've just done their job FOR them!" So, no, please leave me out of the delusion. Or imagine you learn by accident that such a thing is true for hundreds of buildings that are still intact? They are mined, kinda. It is a 'conspiracy'.And if bad guys learn about it they could try to use the secret charges and blow the buildings even without an aircraft attack? Would you consider it right to keep your mouth shut? See above - I'd have a pan, a large spoon, and I'd be banging them together and screaming at the top of my lungs to get the word out. Knowing thousands of people were in danger would galvanize me, and most everyone I know, into that action. To be quiet is to be an accomplice. The question is whether it debunks or proves my theory. What if charges were placed at various hights? Then, just like on every single controlled demo I've seen, there would be recognizeable weakening explosions and someone pushing a plunger. What we all watched was a hugely damaged structure collapse after being struck by a gigantic airliner. You may require more of a cause, but the WTC didn't. "Guys, here is your contract to murder thousands of Americans. A strange conclusion. What is it based upon? Certainly not on my theory. Your theory requires dozens of professions, in a profession that is based on maintaining human safety, purposely installing explosives into an occupied building. Regardless of the "plan", the moment the building dropped, everyone involved would know they were duped into assisting the murder of hundreds of firefighters and trapped victims. Your theory requires all of the people involved to be content to do this, forever. What murderous preparations? What weakened beams? See above. Print it and read all of it. No need - the holes in your conspiracy theory are visible from across the room, projected onto the head of a pin. Shaped charges planted in many locations to ensure the deed would require not one or two, but dozens of people working in secrecy - if they didn't weaken the beams, there is no guarantee that the whole idea would work "to save lives", so instead, you are just doing a half-ass job - something the demos guys DON'T do. Thousands of Americans, all agreeing to participate in the most monsterous single-event case of murder in history. How much you must hate us... Thousands? Murder? Hate? Yes Thousands - 1)inspectors 2)fire marshalls 3) demo specialists 4) their bosses 5)people in government (that would just LOVE for this to one day leak out and ruin their careers/lives) that would have to approve of such things 6) anyone in the building that MIGHT stumble over evidence - all agreeing that to plant explosives "for good reasons" into one of the world's busiest commercial centers is ok. Only one person along the way needs to have second thoughts or share the plan with a person with a blabbermouth and every person involved ends up in front of a grand jury. Murder? Yes - planting explosives in an occupied building would get a conviction for attempted murder in our country: GUARANTEED. Hate? Yes - I believe you really have to hate us to come up with such an idea. snip slander against Controlled Demolition Inc. Slander? What slander? You suggested that this company's employees participated in planting explosives under unsuspecting people, ultimately leading to the deaths of hundreds of firefighters that somehow missed the briefing that, "in a fire or other large emergency, the building will be leveled, regardless of who is inside". If I was in that company, I would have my lawyer working immediately to address the false claim you have made against them. I don't see any. Take a look at the definition of slander - the doer isn't required to 'see' it, only the people/organization that got mud thrown on it. As you have done. Maybe someone, a man, a woman, or a kid who was not close enought to the WTC foot, but close enough to be hit by its top floor(s) is alive now because of CDI? Or many of them are? Like all the firefighters...? Nonsense. selectively weaken the structures at hundreds of different points, while making every effort to not endanger a single human life. These are regular, 'safety first' conditions. With WTC it was a bit different. "We'll need to kill hundreds of firefighters this time guys - anyone have a problem with that...? Ok, good." That was damage control, not the 'murderous things' you are boiling about. Planting explosives in an occupied building is damage control? Remind me not to have you around in an emergency. You maybe were not supposed to see it. If this whole plan was "for the good of the people", why would its efforts be hidden? The secret is not ugly. No one lives forever. And it is a theory, again. "A few" people, required to hold the secret that they, not the airline hijackers, killed all of those firemen rushing into the building. That's a secret that would not be kept. Now repeat the scene with your wife in a bit modified form. Before the moment you realise the buildings were to fall it is the same as you described, but you have a button on your desk. You know what kind of button it is. Yes, I do. Its an imaginary one. Next to my "toss a pie in Cheney's face" button. Now the events take a different course. You noticed what you noticed but you have no time to discuss it with your wife. You have other thing to do: to make a decision. The decision. You have had hopes before the button won't be needed. The pie must be thrown. So, without hesitation, I hurl a banana cream pie directly into Cheney's face. Then, my wife tells her friends what an idiot i am, and soon the news media and everyone else knows all about the button. Same if I used the other mythical button. I've imagined it for myself and shuddered. I'm unable to imagine myself killing hundreds of firefighters on the chance that the building 'might' topple to the side. Gordon |

![]() "Steve Richter" wrote in message om... thinking a little bit about this ... 540 mph is the cruising speed of the F-15. Its top speed looks to be well over 1000mph. But no one knew where the 2nd plane was going to hit. It could have been NYC or any other city anywhere else in the country. My guess would be that the F-15 pilots at Otis rarely fly above cruising speed, so there would probably be some risk in doing that. -Steve Besides shattering every piece of glass (and eardrums) between Otis an NYC? The glass in the streets would have been knee-deep from an F-15 crossing Manhattan at 1500 feet at 1000mph.

But NYC wasn't the only place being attacked.
If it was the FAA wouldn't have grounded *ALL* civil air traffic throughout CONUS. I think you need to do some research on this subject. Exactly how many ANG Fighter Units do you think we have? One in every state? Two? One in every other state? So I guess the Air Force is obviously saying that the whole plan in such situations is to have two National Guard Jets from Mass. protect the entire US in such situations. First off, the USAF doesn't make those choices, NORAD does. Secondly, our air defense posture had dropped significantly over the decade preceeding 9/11/01. I can tell you're very unfamiliar with ANG Units and their locations or else you would have complained about the lack of response of the NJANG Unit from Stockton NJ (just north of Atlantic City - a mere 80 nm from the WTC). Where were the "Jersey Devils"? They were not sitting NORAD Air Defense Alert, and if I remember correctly, most were deployed to Saudi Arabia for Operation Southern Watch. Which is also why most of trust Abrams Tanks more that we trust New York, Mass, Maine, Texas, California, or George Bush in the General Election. Thats funny, because the heart of your complaint is that there weren't more air defense fighter units to respond to the hijackings. This was a direct result of William Jefferson Clinton. Did you trust him? If Andrews doesn't have jets on alert, then no Airbase in the entire country has jets on alert. Wrong. Andrews was not sitting NORAD air defense alert on 9/11/01, but did manage to get 2 x F-16As airborne over DC just minutes after the Pentagon got hit. Interestingly enough, these 2 jets had just returned from a training sortie and had no weapons on board. According to articles I've read, their plan was to divert any aircraft by flying close maneuvers or, in a last ditch, ram them. But the bottom line, Andrews was not on NORAD Air Defense alert on 9/11/01. Why does that surprise you?

![]() planting explosives in a building occupied by people would be WRONG. Under regular circumstances it is. Keeping dangerous things where people may get in a harm's way is wrong. For example, keeping guns, matches, knives or pills in homes where kids can reach them is wrong. Please re-read my sentence you quoted - "Planting", i.e., installed where they will do the most damage and 'where the kids can get to them' is wrong. Driving a car with gasoline in the tank is wrong because the gasoline may catch fire in an accident and ETC, ETC, ETC. gas in a motor vehicle is a rather frickin' huge stretch from planting explosives in an occupied building, by an order of magnitude. What if there ws no terrorist attack and instead just a small fire, one that triggered the explosives? What "small fire" do you mean? No attack -no demolition. Small fire? Maybe. Fires take place in many places with lots of explosives and fuel, say, aircraft carriers, other men-of-war. To make your analogy fit, those men-of-war would need torpedos placed at the waterline by the builders, on the assumption that one day in the future, the ship will need to be scuttled. Yet stupid people go on keeping the danderous stuff! Not in occupied skyscrapers they don't. Your *theory* is that they were. My theory is that you are completely wrong. If I were in the group of mythical people who installed the explosives, I would be the first person to say, "Wait a minute, guys - what happens if some terrorist finds out the building is pre-wired and finds a way to trip the explosives?? We've just done their job FOR them!" Don't let him find out, don't let them use it. That's why you are supposed to keep silent. Whistle-blowing is not always a good thing. I'd love to know the method you would use to determine which people would keep this secret, and which ones would have some reservation that ultimately would trip up the entire game. ONE building inspector or janitor that was not wholly behind the project and you'd have the mother of all grand juries, lawsuits, and that company would be torn apart. See above - I'd have a pan, a large spoon, and I'd be banging them together and screaming at the top of my lungs to get the word out. Knowing thousands of people were in danger would galvanize me, and most everyone I know, into that action. To be quiet is to be an accomplice. Making a big noise may be detrimental to other people's interests namely health and the life itself because bad guys may find out. "We're wiring the place with explosives, for their own good." - that makes sense to you? And what if terrorists do strike, but instead of doing minor damage, such as in 1993, they trip the demos? Congrats, here's your letter of appreciation from Al qaida. Then, just like on every single controlled demo I've seen, there would be recognizeable weakening explosions and someone pushing a plunger. Again, under normal conditions. You see people entering and leaving their homes through the doors, under normal conditions. In an emergency they may jump out of windows (No offence to Bill Gates). What was going on inside and below the surface level? I can tell you what wasn't happening - a bunch of guys all watching the firefighters on tv, saying, "Well, sucks they all have to die, but, dammit, can't be helped." What we all watched was a hugely damaged structure collapse after being struck by a gigantic airliner. You may require more of a cause, but the WTC didn't. After, but not immediately. Maybe it really didn't. I tend to think it didn't. That's a guess, sir. What we _know_ happened was the largest "conventional" bombs ever used against a structure were effectively driven into the buildings at high speed. And I don't require more of a cause. Namely I'm so far in no need of a huge conspiracy 'at the government level, Reichstag fire style thing, with Black Hawk remote control technology' and all that. I want some facts or what seems to be facts explained without resorting to UFO-style invaders and Great-Great World Conspiracies. Your theory requires two groups of conspirators, one blue team, the other red, that both combine to accomplish what the red team intended all along. If the so-called 'video footage' and seismic data' are crap then this theory collapses like the two towers. It is not just needed. Bring the razor here! Take it from Occam he can't use it anyway 'cause he's dead. It doesn't surprise me that there are anomalies during this event - its not as if we'd seen similar things on this scale to provide data to draw from, so things like safes crashing through weakened floors or clusters of fire extinguishers exploding in the fire, or any number of other things that would be going "boom" in a conflagration like this should also be considered by your theory. Again, this theory is not what I cling to desperately, it's rather a hypothesis to explain the footage and seismic data IF (once again, IF) they are not false. I think its more a matter of interpretation and understanding than faked data. Your theory requires dozens of professions, in a profession that is based on maintaining human safety, purposely installing explosives into an occupied building. Yes it does (Thank goodnes, not thousands). I'm not sure of dozens and how many of them. And the building is not always occupied. False, VV. The towers were absolutely never empty; they lived and breathed 24/7 until the moment they died. And yes, purporsely installing and not only purporsely, but skillfully. Add construction engineers and maybe computer modelling specialists. ....all agreeing to place thousands of people in danger that were not directly threatened at that time? The data may be aquired through many ways including under the cover of investigating the 1993 attack. Regardless of the "plan", the moment the building dropped, everyone involved would know they were duped into assisting the murder of hundreds of firefighters and trapped victims. Your theory requires all of the people involved to be content to do this, forever. Assisting the murder? No. It's perpetrators who did the murder. OK if we discuss among other things the plane hijackng let's recall other hijacking. I've already written that prior to 911 hijacking a plane was hijacked in Ankara and it left three dead: a stewardess, a passenger and one of the hijackers. But the surviving hijackers could say they'd killed nobody! Their hands were clean and they had meant no harm. The Saudi anti-terrorist squad shot the victims! Yes, incidently, but the Saudis are to blame! Would you agree? I doubt. Then lets suggest that all airliners should be wired with explosives to keep them from falling into the hands of terrorists? That fits your model, but not reality. The perpetratore as well as instigatots, orginisers and financer are guilty, not those who tried to prevent damage and loss of life. But at the time you suggest that explosives were planted by the blue team, there was no red team attack in progress. No need - the holes in your conspiracy theory are visible from across the room, I agree, it consists of them almost by 100%. Say if the buildings were designed and built so that they were just to collapse the way the did, malodionolike, without any charges, then this theory again is not needed. There could be many 'ifs' that could make it just unnecessary. I agree, such as if two enormous airliners drilled the structures. But if placing charges could prevent greater damage it can be considered. Then space aliens and Martin Bormann must also be considered, because these are every bit as likely as the owners of the WTC colluding with building inspectors, fire marshals, and demolition experts to plant explosives in an occupied building. I've found on my computer an image, a satellite shot of the site after the event. I thought I'd deleted it and now it's been found. I've just looked at it again. Looks like the towers were really surrounded by other, lower towers and other buildings, pretty close. Some buildings that are very close to the site show big holes in their roofs. Those a bit more distant look to be in a better shape. I don't know if these were within reach of the towers' fragments in case the towers fell uncontrollably aside. Maybe yes, maybe not. Try some 3-d modelling with your computer or with some solid things like mathcboxes or something like that. Keep the distances and hights in proportion to the real ones. When looking at this I recall the 'dominoes theory', this time of steel and concrete. One dominoe falls and it goes on. Dominos are solid and transfer their falling energy to their neighbors in manners wholly different than skyscrapers - there have been collapses in large buildings in other areas of the world that did not lead to the type of damage you are describing. dozens of people working in secrecy Secrecy is needed. Not sure of many dozens. I am. Its not one building inspector and fire marshal, but a small army of them that worked on the structure post-1993 attack. Then, the owners/stockholders would also have to be willing participants, leading also to insurance companies, and it branches out further: all participants in directly placing people in danger from explosives planted not by the bad guys, but by the "good guys". - if they didn't weaken the beams, Imagine there are several of you. You'are supposed to blow a bridge with several rucksacks of explosives. And the bridge is heavily guarded. And you are supposed to do it without weakended beams or or predrilled holes. And to do it quickly. So now you are switching theories to make it a military operation? Sir, I don't have time to deal with every permutation you can dream up - besides, I watched the events unfold. To recap, two airliners crashed into the structures, causing damage that ultimately brought them down. We're right back to our friend Occam's medicine chest. Why such limitations? Very simple. It's war and you with the guys are commandoes parachuted to do it. Ok, now lets suggest that there is no bridge, no commandos, no guards, just two large airliners, drilling the WTC. Why go off on tangents when we WATCHED this happen? Mission impossible? Maybe yes, maybe not. It depends, depends on many things, planning included. But such things have been done with success. Apples and airliners, sir. Of course commando attacks have occurred. The fact that we know of them points out how well such operations can be kept a secret, even when only commandos are involved. Now, toss in the FBI, stockholders, fire marshals, ETC ETC ETC and tell me how long your "bridge attack" could be kept a secret. there is no guarantee that the whole idea would work "to save lives", so instead, you are just doing a half-ass job - something the demos guys DON'T do. If you want guarantees look for someone who can give them to you. That would be the controlled demo guys - the only folks on the planet with the corporate knowledge and experience at bringing down structures of this size. Except they won't do it when there are innocent lives sitting in offices above their demo charges! Geez. Nobody to be seen? This happens for many things, not only terrorist attacks. Again, it could have been concluded, that though there were no such positive guarantees you want, negative guarantees, namely greater damage could be predicted, if nothing was done. That assumes that this mythical group knew that one day, the WTC would be so damaged that a collapse was inevitable AND it would fall to the side, requiring the demolition. Gi-frickin-gantic assumption there buddy. Yes Thousands - 1)inspectors 2)fire marshalls 3) demo specialists 4) their bosses 5)people in government (that would just LOVE for this to one day leak out and ruin their careers/lives) that would have to approve of such things 6) anyone in the building that MIGHT stumble over evidence - all agreeing that to plant explosives "for good reasons" into one of the world's busiest commercial centers is ok. Yes - planting explosives in an occupied building would get a conviction for attempted murder in our country: Shooting in a plane and leavindg people dead is a crime in many countries, I believe, including yours, but see above. Those events occurred DURING a hostage event. Did the Saudis start shooting into the a plane years before the hostage situation occurred?? GEEZ Depends on circumstances. It may form no corpus delicti. Using it to kill people will. NOT true - planting explosives in an occupied building IS a felony; attempting to overwhelm hijackers IS NOT. GUARANTEED. Hate? Yes - I believe you really have to hate us to come up with such an idea. You suggested that this company's employees participated in planting explosives under unsuspecting people, ultimately leading to the deaths of hundreds of firefighters that somehow missed the briefing that, "in a fire or other large emergency, the building will be leveled, regardless of who is inside". If I was in that company, I would have my lawyer working immediately to address the false claim you have made against them. I don't want to offend anybody. My apologies if I have. It was the terrorist attack that caused all the deaths here. The firefighters didn't miss, they were 'people inside' and near the buildings. Maybe someone blundered. Maybe it was Martin Bormann. Every bit as likely. Maybe it was because they were just supposed to be where their duty told them to be without knowing that this time it all was in vain. Yes, exactly - and the people planting your mythical demo charges would have to know that, just as in 1993, hundreds of FF would be on scene, in mortal danger specifically from those non-existant charges. Could the firemen be saved? How if the building started to collapse? By... uhh... adding a few mythical explosives to the fire and general chaos? Wait, that doesn't make any sense, does it. I once more state solemnly and even pompously I do no cling to this theory. Then why take off on bizarre "bridge assault" tangents to try and make it work? And I did not mean this particular company. But if the seismic data and videos and other evidence are true (which is not a fact) then they have to be explained. You just cannot overlook it. After many more such events, perhaps we would understand all of the vagaries of such terrible things. Until then, consider that the buildings were horribly damaged by terrorists in hijacked airliners, trying to bring them down. Like all the firefighters...? Nonsense. Again, could they be saved? or what, sacrificed? I take it you dont know any firefighters. I grew up playing at Company 7 in Phoenix, living with Engineer Loren Long as my surrogate dad. I can picture him rushing into the WTC, but what I cannot/ will not accept is the mental image of -dozens- of people agreeing to plant explosives in an occupied building, "JUST IN CASE". Planting explosives in an occupied building is damage control? According to your baseless theory, yes. 'The truth sometimes looks quite implausable' (c) some French writer. So lets not rule out aliens and Marty just yet, huh? Remind me not to have you around in an emergency. I hope none will come. If this whole plan was "for the good of the people", why would its efforts be hidden? Watch out. The bad guys are continuing their business. So we need to mine MORE skyscrapers, "just in case"??? You know what kind of button it is. Yes, I do. Its an imaginary one. Next to my "toss a pie in Cheney's face" button. I hope you have no button like 'kill Cheney' one. shaking my head No. I dont murder people, and neither do the Controlled Demo people. The pie must be thrown. So, without hesitation, I hurl a banana cream pie directly into Cheney's face. Don't say you don't understand the difference between pie-throwing and a murder of someone you may dislike very much. It's just fundamentally different and it is different not because of an electric chair or what else is used for punishing that. whatever. You are the person that mentioned murdering our vice president - all I did was toss an imaginary pie. Then, my wife tells her friends what an idiot i am, and soon the news media and everyone else knows all about the button. OK, your wife was just not there. A big difference indeed. She'd gone shopping (jogging, paying visits), anything. She was off planting demo charges with Martin Bormann. That's my theory at least. I'm unable to imagine myself killing hundreds of firefighters on the chance that the building 'might' topple to the side. After the event you saw happened they were unsavable. They could be given 1-2-3 seconds of life inside the building. The price of that could be lives of those outside. As long as we insert the massive assumption that such damage on the upper floors would cause a building to become unstable at its base, allowing it to fall sideways. You might then live up with the knowledge you could save someone and did't. "Thank goodness we planted those explosives!" -Not- =====CONCLUSION========== You've rammed so many proofs into my theory, your arguments are burning bright like jet fuel so the shaky building of my theory is about to collapse like the towers. Let's stop at this. To continue we need an input from outside, from other people who know better, who know the facts. You say you've seen many demolitions. we call this new invention "t-e-l-e-v-i-s-i-o-n'. One of the things that Fox loves to show is old, disused UNOCCUPIED structures such as forums and delapidated apartment buildings being brought down. Its a part of modern life. You have never seen such an event...? Maybe you still have contacts with these people. Only if you count my wife and Marty. Maybe it is all just the waste of time. But maybe you'll find a chance to steal a couple of minutes from them and ask about things we've discussed. Why? You suggested above that your theory is already in flames. If they say the idea of pre-planting explosives has no value and will cause more harm than prevent, or it was just unapplicable in this particular situation or or anything else - believe them. And if they recommend you not to waste time on cranky theories by some cranky guys - follow theit recommendations. I won't ignore the cranky theories when remaining silent leaves the theorists with the last word, however wrong I know it to be.
