Freedom Tower construction Give me a break. I'm sick of this already. The holder of the lease on the property got a special policy insuring the WTC against a terrorist attack just six weeks before it was destroyed, then collected $40 billion from the policy. Now he builds a new tower and winds up with billions left over. I can't believe there's so many suckers out there who buy the BS story. The WTC was built to withstand the impact of an airplane, yet that was what supposedly brought the towers down. Tap Tap Tap... Hello... Reality calling. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws. Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001) |

Freedom Tower construction Ummm - Reality calling indeed: History channel just aired last week that the WTC Buildings could indeed be brought down the way they were by plane because: "...when the impacts happened, all of the fire proofing of the cross support beams was knocked off. This happened because the fire proofing material used was a 'spray on' application which is NOT rated to withstand the impact such as a plane would cause. This left the cross support beams bare and exposed to the heat of the burning airplane fuel and the burning building materials. That heat was enough to bow out the cross supports at the point of impact and allow those floors to pancake, one atop the other and bring the buildings down, demolition style...." So, again I state: Freedom Tower forever in remembrance of that which was taken from us on 9-11-2001. Never forget! Terrorists be forever warned! <Edit: > Corrected for spelling... </Edit. > TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos |

Well sometimes it's difficult not to mistake BS for truth - especially when have listened to all of these opinions and experts during the last 5 years. Account frozen... |

How anyone can believe that it was anything other than airplanes which brought down the towers baffles me. Did they not see the planes actually fly into the buildings? Not to mention it would be a ridiculously brave person to bring down those towers and claim all those lives just to make an insurance claim. Oh but if they were so stupid, why did they also fly a plane into the Pentagon. Come on, stop being so stupid... Kolch - Crunching for the BOINC@Australia team since July 2004.

How anyone can believe that it was anything other than airplanes which brought down the towers baffles me. Did they not see the planes actually fly into the buildings? Just to put things into perspective, the conspiracy theory is that 6 weeks before 9/11 a new owner took possession of the twin towers, took out a massive insurance policy, wired the buildings with explosives for demolition without anybody noticing, and when the planes hit them decided to push the plunger to bring the buildings down and to collect on the insurance, with everybody thinking it was the planes that did it. At the same time, a building next door holding embarrassing government secrets was also demolished by same demolition crew, obliterating all said embarrassing evidence, hoping everybody would accept that adjacent buildings could be destroyed, which, err, some were. I don't really care about this theory, I just know it was the terrorists that started it, it was the terrorists that caused it, and it's the terrorists that have to be made to pay for this. The Freedom Tower will be a symbol for many things, one of which will be a reminder that no matter what it takes, the terrorists will be defeated. Not a hope, a fact. flaming balloons |

Yes accepted that you can spin that wonderful story after the fact. However I wonder how often billionaire entreprenaurs (an australian actually in this case i believe) purchase large buildings and then proceed to wire them with explosives just in case there is a terrorist attack/earthquake/large fire that would almost destroy the building but not quite, just so that they can make sure of total destruction and thus cash in on the policy. Oh what? That's routine in big business huh? Oh well excuse me then. LOL Darn those westerners with their democracy, free speech, and forward thinking... :-P Kolch - Crunching for the BOINC@Australia team since July 2004. Search for your own intelligence... |
