Natural Geographic CONSPIRACY VS. SCIENCE 8/31/09

08-31-2009 • natural Geographic

Conspiracy theories are put to the test. How well do they stand up against the visual simulations of professional engineers? See how science supports official stories and debunks the conspiracies below. THE COLLAPSE OF THE BUILDINGS Official Story: The collapse was caused by fire initially fed by the jet fuel from the planes.
Testing the Official Story: Using original construction blueprints, photographs, and construction data, Purdue University, along with the American Society of Civil Engineers, created a model structure of the north World Trade Center tower and a scaled 767 jetliner. To model the fuel load, Purdue launched aluminum cans filled with liquid to represent an airline wing colliding with a steel column. The final simulation showed the internal destruction of supporting columns, the disintegration of the jetliner, the atomizing of the fuel, and the resulting fires that softened the steel framework of the building and brought it down.

Well, National Geographic has debunked the 9/11 conspiracy theories! I can sleep soundly now knowing that our government has found the culprits, and captured them and jailed them! I can also thank all of Congress for not letting this incident, horrific as it was, to be escalated way out of proportion! Who knows what kinds of liberties we would have lost had Congress not shown such restraint! Who knows how many billions of dollars we would have poured down various rat holes in the name of defending ourselves if our government had not acted so prudently!. And who knows how many thousands would have died at our government's hands had they not shown such foresight! Thank God for our Congress and the propaganda I mean scientific magazines that support them.

Oh, there's Lucky Red again! The boiler-room operative who's being paid by the Progressive bunch to heap bile and ridicule on anyone who posts in favor of the United States Constitution, in favor of a President proving that he is eligible by birth and citizenship to be President, and in favor of our inherited and unalienable right to keep and bear arms -- ultimately for the purpose of protecting us from Progressives who consistently demand that we give up all rights and let them take care of us ... THEIR way. Sorry, Lucky Red -- you have been outed. (Check that; I am not sorry.)

Oh, bruther! National Geographic dared cross the Right Wing Wackadoodles so now it's open season on them!
