Chaps

No disrespect intended to the victims and the families of the people involved in the sep. 11 tragedy, but have a look at the website below and tell me what you think.

It started some discussion in the office I must say !!

Saw this a while ago. The other 2 planes went deep into the towers - is the Pentagon really that much stronger??

This site does, of course, come from the same folks who insist that the moon walk was shot in a hangar. Does make you think, though!

It is possible the Pentagon believe that a plane attack would be more explainable to the public than having to justify how a terrorist was able to drive his explosives laden truck upto the front of the single most potent visual and symbolic site of America's military/Intelligence and technological might and superiority, and blow it up.

Just on the news here last night:

One of the old guys from the moon U.S landing landed a solid right cross on the jaw of a reporter who asked him (probably for the umpteenth time) if he really went to the moon.

I'll try to post a pic.

Hmmm, plane travelling at 500 mph made of a few mm thick aluminium vs an awful lot of reinforced concrete and kevlar plating. There ain't going to be anything left of the boeing.

Only problem is that there are eye witnesses who were driving on the freeway outside who saw a plane hit the building ... buy, hey, why not assume that was a hologram produced by aliens

Have you seen that program on discovery (and probably other channels) where they crash a jet fighter into a reinforced concrete block? The block was undamaged as it was reinforced and obviously the building wasn't but the point is that the jet was utterly detroyed... there was absolutely *nothing* left of it.

There's plenty of footage about showing testing for nuclear reactor building designs in the 60's - a Phantom on a rocket sled propelled at 600mph into 3 metres of reinforced concrete. Minor burn marks to concrete, aluminium confetti scattered liberally around the area.

The Pentagon is probably as reinforced as the MI6 building, and that has windows that can withstand an RPG...

All these conspicacy theories, you have to ask yourself - 'Why bother? What would it achieve?'

There's just been a program on about how the pentagon was being updated. Work started prior to the attacks on one of the sides of the building, putting in reinforced plexiglass windows each one weighing over a ton and costing over $10,000. So, obviously, the walls had to be strengthened to cope with this extra mass.

The reason for this new glass was that they found that in a car bomb scenario, glass fragments from imploding windows caused injuries to people which would otherwise be a safe distance away from the explosion.

Isn't it typical that just when the builders had moved out, the plane crashed into it.

I'll always remember the sarky comment given by a painter repainting a corridor - "I only finished doing this bugger last week, now I have to start all over"

compelling reading here to refute the claims...

IMO one can "invent" conspiracy theories about just about anything (that's not to say that cover-ups never happen of course )

Yes.

Much, much, much stronger.
