The new Pentagon video

I'm convinced that the Dukes of Hazard (the TV show, not the recent movie)
was directly responsible for the death of the woman who tried to jump the
gap in the Bay Bridge during the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989. In the TV
show the good-ol'-boy heros were always jumping the General Lee over stuff,
without any sign of a ramp. When the bridge in front of her collapsed, the
woman decided to try and jump the 50-foot gap rather than stop her car and
wait things out. A quick calculation indicates that she would have to have
been going roughly 236 mph to get to the other side with a 4" drop in
height, probably the maximum drop that would allow the car to survive. If
the car could survive hitting the other side 6" below the road surface, you
could make it at "only" 193 mph.

Don't believe the "science" in Hollywood.

A lot of these guys think the real world works like Hollywood movies.
They expect to see an airplane silhouette in the wall of the Pentagon,
as if Wile E. Coyote had run through it. Next time someone tries to
justify Hollywood's continual refusal to recognize the laws of physics
by saying "It's only a movie" you might want to remember just how much
that idiocy influences these nutcases.

I just don't think that the governement can keep that kind of secret.

Hell, the government can't get drug assistance for the elderly right -- yet
people believe that they can organize a conspiracy?

It's laughable.

occupants.
Curious that the hole was round and showed no evidence of the wings or
engines impacting the building. Large pieces of engines have been on
every crash site I ever photographed as part of an accident
investigation team.
I know the conspiracy buffs want to go someplace with it. I'd like to
know what in hell happened to all the aircraft parts and pieces? Even
the space shuittle left a lot of wreckage and bodies that were
identified from how big an explosion and how high?

Don't be stupid. The conspiracy web sites are very selective in the
pictures that they show. There are plenty of pictures of airplane parts
if you look for them.

The same for damaged grass.

The conspiracy buffs are also very good at taking reporters' comments
out of context.

As I said, most of these conspiracy buffs are a bunch of holocaust
deniers and other enemies of the United States. In a just world they
would be tried and hanged as the terrorists and traitors that they are.

You need to go back to high school and sit in on the physics
class on kinetic energy. This time, pay attention instead of
wanking off over the cheerleader sitting in front of you.

Damn. If I were rich, I would pay for a re-enactment of the
Pentagon and Twin Towers crashes into re-creations of both
structures using remote controlled aircraft. It would be
worth the millions of dollars just to hear all you conspiracy
whacks sit in silence with nary a retort.

Out government is screwed up enough as it is without a bunch
of idiots making **** up. If you put your energies into fixing
all the real problems instead of all the imaginary ones, this
Country would be much better off than it currently is.

It's all part of the conspiracy... feigning incompetence to lull people into
thinking that there couldn't be a successful conspiracy.

They think they can "run" the economy, whereas in reality, they couldn't run
a lemonade stand.

That wouldn't shut them up; they'd say it was part of the conspiracy.

I differ with you somewhat here. The scenario you describe is
dangerously similar not to a just but an intolerant world. We should do
everything we can to preserve freedom of everything, speech included,
so stifling a dissenting voice is no solution. The best way to beat
such people down is with objective, irrefutable evidence although I
agree it'd involve the precious time of many.
