Default Aeronautical Engineer says Official 9/11 Story Not Possible

Read Dr Jones paper and show why his facts do not apply:


Why should I? You won't understand the answers. Hell, you don't even
know why he thinks he's right, and you won't pay attention to the folks
who already analyzed it (the rest of the people in his department).

Here's the first clue, though: he bases his entire argument on the idea
that jet fuel won't melt steel, while mostly glossing over the fact that
you don't need to melt steel or even get it close to its melting temp
before you lose most of its strength.

A second clue: the "squibs" he talks about were the structural steel
pieces breaking loose. Anyone who's been around a structure collapse
knows exactly what this looks like.

The basic issue with this looney's entire thesis is that he doesn't have
a clue about how structures fail. This is info you can get readily, if
you do *real* research. He did not. I guess the UFO hunts and
cold-fusion experiments he's been doing have weakened his skills...
