Strangely edited - wish it hadn't been.

Edited to ask - what are the chances of 1 of the towers collapsing, let alone 2?

1. It would be a first in history for any one of the three towers that fell.
I'd say the odds are about 1 in a million for one tower to fall down that day. For all three? One in a million times a million times a million. That's somewhere beyond one in a googol odds.

13. Hey, just because you can dip your finger in kerosene,
Edited on Thu Mar-01-07 07:40 PM by BuyingThyme
light it on fire, and put it out before even feeling any heat, doesn't mean a massive welder's torch cannot materialize in an office building during a fire, causing massive steel trusses to heat to the a point of fault.

:silly:

16. got a little experiment for you.
splash...say 10 gallons of kerosene around your abode and light it and see what happens. It'll burn off pretty quick, so no problem right?

5. Interesting that the filmer
refers to the second plane as a "military plane" as does someone else in the room.

9. Was your point that those who thought they saw military planes hit the towers
weren't necessarily crazy people who were trying to trump up a conspiracy case against the government?

Point well made. You're coming right along.

10. BuyingThyme, I think you should just give up trying to reason with Bolo..
Trust me, there won't be breakthrough for him anytime soon.

18. I'd guess the editing

...isn't too strange considering that the recording would have captured personal commentary among the occupants of the apartment that they may not want to publish.
