Tin foil hat stuff.

Presumably UPI picked it up on the American Free Press -- the new crew of the old Liberty Lobby/Spotlight bunch.

Run away!

Remember Dr. Gates' job before going to A & M -- he was CIA director. He's also not at all shy about tossing those who deserve it under the bus.

His predecessor at A & M had started a process to 'modernize' the University for the 21st century -- some of which is sorely needed but large sections tend to be pure political correctness. Still, look to A & M to remain one of the most conservative campuses in the country's mainstream for decades to come.

I guess he doesn't read Popular Mechanics; all of the 911 conspiracy theories were shot down using some things called "science" and "common sense".

Buildings collapse the same way they're constructed--one floor at a time, or "one domino at a time." The heat from the jet fuel only has to melt a single level of the building's steel skeleton, and then everything above is the first domino--big fat first domino. As I recall, the architects calculated once that a commercial jet, alone, couldn't bring down the towers--a commercial jet without fuel. They never thought to consider what the jet fuel would do to the steel.

Yes, this is stupid. I hope it is summarily ignored. Please! How many people saw 9-11 happen with their own eyes?

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

We're generally relatively sane down here in Texas, but when we do have folks go off the reservation, they go waaaaaaay off the reservation.

We're a conservative California, in that regard.

At ny alma mater, we have a journalism prof named Robert Jensen who is a pretty regular spewer of moonbattery: http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~rjensen/home.htm, if you dare!

If I recall, the WTC was designed to take such a hit. the colums were to be protected with asbestos. however, half way through construction, asbestos was banned and so an inferior insulation had to be used on the upper floors.

Discovery network carried a computer-animated special report for several months, highlighting the official science and engineering report on why the towers collapsed.

To put it mildly, Dr. Reynolds is not typical of Aggie Profs but apparently he would fit in at the journalism department at UT-Austin, which as I understand it hangs upside down under the Congress Street bridge 'til dusk.

I think it would be almost impossible to design a good looking building and make it impervious to the sort of assault such as that that happened on 9/11. Tne forces at work are just to great.

Oh well, he would fit in with some professors and staff members at the U -- one door here has a sign claiming that Bush and EVIL corporations are destroying the Iraqis' way of life by not giving their workers unions everything they demand!

No mention on when the unions were formed (last two years anybody?)

Oh yeah, the "jet fuel" which was almost entirely used up by the time they got there caused them to "collapse". Anyone ever wonder why the South tower "collapsed" first when the North tower was the one hit first AND at a head-on angle so as to dump almost all of the fuel inside, wheras the South tower, hit later, got almost no jet fuel inside, as what it had exploded outside in the fireball everyone saw? Anyone wonder why WTC # 7 "mysteriously" "collapsed" later that day even though it was hit by almost no debris and had two tiny fires? It fell in exactly the same manner as the twin towers, which is to say, a controlled demolition. Sorry, but otherwise there's no way excepting some September 11th suspension of the laws of physics for the towers to "collapse" at the same rate an object freefalls without all FORTY-SEVEN core support columns being simultaneously severed like with cutting charges. It also would not have been so uniform-looking and symmetrical; why wouldn't part of it fall over onto the other tower or onto another building? Instead they came down right in their footprint, just like the controlled demolition engineers do it, nice and neat. Also, why if supposedly the passengers were all burnt to cinders then why was "Mohammed Atta's" passport found in the rubble intact?? Why did NO Middle-Eastern names appear in any of the flight manifests?? How did six of the "hijackers" appear alive and well days later?? How could anyone believe that "nineteen hijackers" who couldn't fly a Cessna or a Piper Cub to save their asses would suddenly be able to fly the airliners like fighter pilots?? Why are the NY firefighters under a GAG ORDER to not talk about what they saw or heard (like explosions) on September 11th?? Why do FAA air traffic controllers have a similar GAG ORDER?? Why did the FBI confiscate WITHIN FIVE MINUTES the other security camera tapes from cameras near the Pentagon like at the
gas station across from the Pentagon?? Also where are the wings, tail section, luggage, etc. from the "airliner" that hit the Pentagon?? Not on the Pentagon's lawn. Perhaps most damning of all, just WHERE IN THE HELL was the U.S. Air Force, the most expensive in the world, on September 11th for the OVER AN HOUR that it took the "airliners" to reach their targets?? And why did the Pentagon not fire ANY surface-to-air missiles in its own defense?? But who needs physics, logic, or even common sense when you've got smug, childish "retorts" like calling anyone who doesn't unquestioningly and robotically accept the "official" horseshit fairy tale as being "tin foil hat-wearing nuts"?? I think your head is so far up your ass it would take the 'jaws of life' to pull it out.
