rhys 0 #51 January 19, 2010 QuoteDo you honestly think your high school teacher has more expertise with physics than Bill or Kallend? Do you think that Bill and kallend have more experience than these guys; QuoteDr. Robert M. Bowman, Lt. Col., USAF, ret; Exec VP, Millennium III Corp; Vice-Pres, Space Communications Co; Director of Advanced Space Programs Development, US Space Division (USAF); 101 combat missions F4, Vietnam; Head of Aero. Eng. Dept & Asst Dean, AF Inst of Tech, WPAFB. "The official explanation in the NIST report violates the laws of physics. It is physically impossible for a building (or anything else) to fall at near-free-fall speed and do work (smashing steel and concrete) on the way down. An external energy input (like explosives) is absolutely essential. In addition, for the top of one of the towers to tip about 30 degrees and NOT continue tipping and falling off violates the law of conservation of angular momentum. The symmetrical collapse of building 7 due to highly asymmetrical damage is also unbelievable. We have not yet been told the truth. If the government has nothing to hide, why continue to hide everything? Why not a new and truly independent investigation?" Quote William J. Cundiff P.E. Lic: MA Civil Engineer 39097 BSCE Whitinsville, MA I have over 20 years experience as a civil engineer with a diverse background in environmental, structural, land surveying and civil engineering. I have worked for worldwide consulting firms, for myself and for local government. • Personal 9/11 Statement: The speed at which the buildings fell should be the most obvious and least technical indication that explosives were used. Most engineers as well as non-technical people should be able to grasp this. Quote Dennis M. Fischer Engineering Consultant MSCE, BSCE Naperville, IL • Bio: Graduate of University of Illinois in Civil Engineering (BSCE- 1965, MSCE- 1966 majoring in structures. Professional Engineer with 40 years experience. • Personal 9/11 Statement: In my professional opinion and after analyzing the many explanations by the government and 9/11 Truth websites and professionals, I believe all three buildings were demolished by controlled demolition. Quote Roland Edward Angle Civil Engineer Lic: CA Civil Engineer 18242 exp 2009 B.S. U.C. Berkeley Alameda, CA • Bio: CA License 18242. Forty years experience in Civil & Military design, analysis & construction, including blast analysis of nuclear hardened facilities. • Personal 9/11 Statement: The official explanation of the building failures defies known scientific methods of analysis and is untenable in the face of logical investigation. Quote William Rice P.E. Lic: 018-0002991 VT MS Civil Engineering, Cornell Univ. Randolph Center, VT I earned my BSCE degree from the University of Massachusetts with a major in structures and later an MS degree in civil engineering from Cornell University. After graduation from UMass, I was employed in the field by two of the nation’s largest building construction companies, first the Austin Company (a design/build firm) and later the George A. Fuller Construction Company. The construction of one of the Austin Company building projects was the basis of my master's thesis. I also taught building design and construction related courses to civil engineering and architectural students at Vermont Technical College for twenty years. • Personal 9/11 Statement: In 2006 I became aware of the unprecedented collapse of WTC Building 7 and the Twin Towers at free-fall speed. Professor Steven Jones' video lecture was a stunning revelation and a wake-up call. My experience and further research confirmed the uncomfortable facts as presented by Professor Jones. I also found it disturbing that most politicians seem to have little interest in exploring any theory other than the official jetliners / fires-caused-the-collapses theory. I was told the following in a response letter from one of our representatives in Washington: "Regarding conspiracy theories surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, a number of theories questioning the events that occurred on and before September 11, 2001 have circulated. They are patently false. Several videos have been posted on the internet on this subject, and they too are false."... "The 9/11 Commission, a bipartisan group of nationally respected individuals, evaluated all relevant testimony and documents related to the events and provided a detailed account of what actually happened on that fateful morning." However, this "nationally respected" 9/11 Commission failed to include some very important facts and testimonies in their report even though they had to have been aware of them. For example, the 9/11 Commission Report completely omitted the unprecedented collapse of Building 7. Many of the facts and theories that engineers have learned in such courses as structures, physics, chemistry, metallurgy, etc., have held true for longer than the hundred-year history of structural-steel-framed high-rise buildings and they held true on 9/11/01. Only controlled demolition could have provided the types of building collapses displayed three times on that fateful day. Quote Scott C. Grainger PE, Forensic Fire Protection Engineer Lic: 30031 AZ BS Civil Engineering Mesa, AZ • Bio: Owner of Grainger Consulting, Inc. A fire protection engineering firm (23 years). Approximately 50% of my work is forensic. I am licensed in 9 States. In addition to my forensic work, a good portion of my work is in the design of structural fireproofing systems. • Personal 9/11 Statement: All three collapses were very uniform in nature. Natural collapses due to unplanned events are not uniform. Quote Claude Robert Briscoe P.E. Lic: Civil Engineer C17546 -- California BS Engineering, UCLA Santa Rosa, CA • Bio: 45+ years in civil and structural engineering design and construction with project work in bridges, buildings, foundations, earth retaining structures, roads, highways, and various commercial, industrial and public works facilities. • Personal 9/11 Statement: The collapse of the three WTC buildings would seem to defy the laws of mechanics, conservation of energy and known structural failure behavior. The case for the destruction of the three WTC buildings by means of "controlled demolition" is overwhelming. Quote Nelson L. Johnson Architect & Civil Engineer Lic: Calif. Architect's License #C9585; Calif. Civil En M. Arch. Columbia San Francisco, CA • Bio: CA Licenses: Architect C9585, Civil Engineer C30541 I was a summer intern at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 1972 when the North tower of the WTC was being completed. I graduated from Columbia in 1974 and went on to practice architecture and civil engineering for 8 years. I am now a computer specialist in integration, CAD and software engineering. • Personal 9/11 Statement: By 9/12 I was convinced that there was something "fishy" about the "collapse" of the WTC. I learned about progressive collapse from my engineering professors at Columbia, and I found it hard to imagine that the twin towers could have failed in that way. They were specifically designed to resist impact and load applied by the collision of a Boeing 707 jet. The buildings appeared to have been destroyed by an engineered demolition. When I articulated my suspicions, however, I was met with derision. I have continued, however, in my conviction that the buildings were intentionally destroyed. Quote Kerry Lewis McCarthy Architect Lic: 2496 B. Arch, U of Oregon Grand Ronde, OR • Bio: Graduated in 1976, been working in architectural and engineering offices since. Much of the work I have been involved with dealt with high-rise steel frame structures. Also, have done some engineering work, including building-forensic, some steel frame but mostly concrete. Was employed at Einhorn Yaffee Prescott for a while in Albany, NY and got to see the WTC first hand. Studied WTC's design, structure and construction at university. It was always a fascinating building complex to me. • Personal 9/11 Statement: Very hard to understand the 'complete' lack of concrete rubble in the debris field. Even had the basements filled with concrete topping slab debis. There should have been a stack of jumbled building elements about 9 more stories above grade. The core columns were fully welded yet none were longer than 40 ft (max trucking length). This event as portrayed by the NIST Report totally messes with my understanding of how buildings behave. I haven't been able to reconcile the promoted theory of collapse with the way I know buildings to behave. The list goes on but you still don't think a new investigation is in order... you never will, you, Bill and the professor have staked your reputations on it. As time goes on, more and more professionals and people in general will come to realise. Eventually the pressure will be too overwhealming. It already is in a sence but that sad thing is that the pride of americans will deter them from believing the truth as the implications are far, far too much for most to handle."When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhys 0 #52 January 19, 2010 QuoteReally? I don't recall him ever making that claim. Proof please. Quote>Solar makes sense in all places. Solar _works_ in all places (with perhaps the exception of Antarctica in the summer.) But its economic value is proportional to how many hours of sun you get. In Arizona, Nevada, Socal etc you can see six equivalent hours of direct sun a year; in Seattle it's closer to three. So it's basically twice as expensive to generate a kilowatt-hour over the course of a year. That doesn't mean that it will never make sense in Seattle, but with limited amounts of money and time, it would seem to make sense to start in the Southwest. Admitadly it was a mistake on his behalf and he was referring to the northern summer.

You can pull your nose out of thier asses now! You claim all 1000 signatories are quacks when you quite obviously are basing you opinion in bias and assumption, your reasoning is typical of one in denial, try to push the subject in another direction without substanciating your claims. How about you bring some of your science to to subject and legitimate yourself, rather than simply calling people names, silly names. Many of these people you are claiming to be quacks have much more expeience, qualifications, and understanding than you will ever have. Your total lack of respect for those you have no idea about is typical of what is hated about a very large number of Americans (I don't wan't to say all americans but would be safe to say America in general).

One of us would certainly be laughed out of the room. It would be fun. >What ever happened to science and Occams razor? Uh, dude, Occam's Razor states that if there are two explanations of an event, and one is simpler, the simpler one wins. One explanation is that terrorists hijacked airliners and flew them into the buildings; the resulting fires then caused their collapse. Another explanation changes daily. It involves simultaneous hijackings by government agents and/or terrorists funded by the government/governmental allies, a plan to target the buildings with airplanes/missiles/holograms and a simultaneous plot to take them down by blowing them up with missiles/explosives/thermite/thermate/nanothermite/advanced secret explosives. It requires a massive conspiracy that has never leaked, a conspiracy involving at least hundreds of people to procure explosives/thermite, wire them secretly into a public building, then stand by and detonate/ignite them, inexplicably, hours after the attack. It requires secret organizations, military aircraft, mass brainwashing/deception, covert communication, undetectable coordination, shadowy government officials, missing (but alive) passengers, complex evidence-planting expeditions and NASA-like mission planning - none of which has ever been uncovered.
