Have you heard the researcher for Popular Mechanics "debunking 911 myths", showing those conspiracy nuts how

Question

halfbaked their ideas are.

He makes some "truthers" phoning in look pretty stupid, you can almost hear their tinfoil hats cringe in embarrasment.

Well done Richard.

Answer 1

Good video clips... you completely blindsided me for one!

The editor of Popular Mechanics is the kind of person who can look at the Pennsylvania and Pentagon aircrash images and make up an airliner full of debris in his own head... who ignores that jet engines are also made of steel and they can compress and superheat and mix it with air - for weeks - but they don't melt.

I heard the boy scout commenting from Popular Mechanics... tee hee - I admire his Bush-style absence of intellectual rigour!  WHAT a scream!

Well done - great clips!  : )

10 points to you, you fooled everyone...

Answer 2

It's an excellent article. Popular Mechanics has the whole essay online. Well worth reading and keeping.

Conspiracy theorists are just saying "I'm special, I have insider knowledge, I know what most people don't know, I hope you like me."

LOL

Answer 3

the whole ludicrous 911 conspiracy business serves the U.S. government rather well as it detracts from the credibility of any investigation of illegal activities by the U.S. junta.

Answer 4

Interesting.  Where's the link to Popular Mechanics on line?

I remember reading PM as a kid and by the 80s they forecast highways with huge slanting curves and commuters driving their cars at 180 mph!

There was a lot of this.  Are they less a Sci-fi magazine now?

Answer 5

You know what's so very sad? The fact that you get your information from a CAR MAGAZINE, and you're proud to be associated with their unreasoned, unscientific fluff that laps up the tidbits from the Bush administration.

If I want to be told what to think by a bunch of grease monkeys, I'll let you know. :)

Edit: ooooh! You naughty boy! :) Thanks for the links - it was a great interview, and the radio host was fantastic.

Answer 6

Right!

First of all who does davin coburn  work for? Hurst!?! who are they?

Second can nobody tell that they are telling Porky Pies!

The tower 7 story!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFVyP8_V4...

So Larry Silverstein is lying! 1 min into the Video!

I get the idea that they are making it up as they are going along!

I have taken a good long look at the POP Mech story and I find it lacking! It is certainly not convincing!

One of My blog pages cover a lot of links which cover the subjects and I will now add these thanks. ;-))

EDIT I fell of my seat laughing when I read the answers by those poor answers who answered without even know what they where answering to!

Talk about automatic responce and lack of thought! If the whole thing wasn't so serious it would be funny!

If we take them as an example of how the people who support the Government THEORY, THINK, we can see why it is so easy for them to be led!

Answer 7

LOL!  Great post Hog B!

Popular Mechanics?  Its funny that there are people posting on this question that  STILL try to cite those tools as a reliable source?  

Look, if any of you wannabe debunkers can give me a PLAUSIBLE SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION for the 2800 F heat and the Molten Steel in this CNN report:

http://www.livevideo.com/video/690AB7EDC...

For more information read this:

http://www.neithercorp.us/nforum/indepen...

If you can explain it, then maybe you'll be taken seriously.  NIST ignored it because they couldn't explain it.  Popular Mechanics lied and said it didn't exist, which I have just proven with the CNN Report above.  Notice they point to the MOLTEN STEEL meteorite and say, "THIS IS MOLTEN STEEL...."  I hope there aren't any idiots out there who would even attempt to debate this, because they would only be making fools of themselves.  

So, since Jet Fuel burns at 1200 F to 1800 F, and it takes AT LEAST 2800 F heat to melt Steel Fireproofed with asbestos, WHERE DID THE 2800 F HEAT COME FROM THAT MELTED THE FIREPROOFED STEEL IN THE VIDEO ABOVE?  

I want REAL answers.  Not cowardly redirections or lame tin foil hat remarks.  LMAO!  Debunkers are a joke.

////rz1971

If you want to talk about Dihydrogen Monoxide, why don't you start a question on it?  Frankly, what the h**l does that have to do with 9/11?  Also, you're complaining about a Government that obviously allows hundreds of Carcinogenic products onto the market and couldn't care less about thousands of people dying from it.  Then, you go on to defend that same Government by refusing to look at the evidence of the WTC Attacks?  

This is what I don't understand about people like you.  Where is the disconnect?  What happened to them when they were children that caused their little brains to short-circuit?  The downfall of this entire country is happening right before your eyes, and you want to talk about DHMO?  LOL!  Jesus Christ!

Answer 8

This Hearst publishing c**p is pure bunk! It is a government front pushing lies.

Answer 9

Yea that guy is so obviously inept. The question of documented proof of a DNA match not existing is an old one. If he really believed his own lies he would have come across this question before and wouldn't keep pushing his baseless assertions.

Answer 10

Don't forget there were multiple eyewitnesses of BOMBS in the buildings.

There were also multiple reports of truck bombs and one arrest of Israelis in a van with bombs.

Answer 11

Funny thing, I checked out my friendly local public library's web-page and did a search on "David Ray Griffin"  author, and ya know what? there are NO books by David Ray Griffin at my local public library.... I wonder why?

America has a HUGE problem here!

First order of business, BUST Bush & Cheney!

Answer 12

he's already been answered by David Ray Griffin's "Debunking 9/11 Debunking: An Answer to Popular Mechanics and Other Defenders of the Official Conspiracy Theory"

http://www.amazon.com/Debunking-11-Mecha...

Answer 13

If a government keeps saying "this is what happened" then people start to believe them. No-one denies that a bunch of Saudi kooks crashed the towers or the results. The questionable part is our governments reaction and over-reaction. Many falsehoods have been told and it brings the government into a position of mistrust. All aspects of 9/11 need to be fully and honestly investigated. Without "kooks" in tinfoil hats people will just blindly believe what is told to them. I applaud "kooks" and read only scientific journals, not "poopular mechanics"

Answer 14

This is beautiful!!! Popular Mechanics is just another puppet in the show! This guy gets pwned over an over again he just like a piece of $#!+ bureaucrat to he tries to change the subject when the questions start hitting to close to home!!!

Answer 15

Well the way I see it that they say that the steel would have to reach over 1800+ degrees to warp.  My propane grill uses propane that heats up to 3500 degrees and doesn't melt my grill so you be the judge on that one.

Google burning temp of propane (it's hotter than jet fuel but doesn't warp the grill..........?  Yeah they are full of it.)

Secondly how come Rumsfeld testified to congress one day before that his department was responsible for losing 2.3 trillion dollars of the US defence fund.  Promised change the next day.  Yeah, my hat isn't cringing and I am on my meds.

2 quotes from Hitler for you

"tell a big enough lie and repeat it enough times and it will be remembered"

"It's good for leaders that the people they lead do not think"

Answer 16

The radio host is an idiot.

9/11 WASN'T done by the US government, but you guys probably want to ban DHMO as well, after all it's used in navy ships, kills thousands of people each year, used in nuclear rectors, put into infant baby bottle formulas and the government doesn't nothing about it.  (if you don't know what DHMO is, look it up, google is wonderful).

Facts are easily twisted by people, the 9/11 conspiracy also does that.

Answer 17

This will, of course, make no impression on the conspiracy fanatics who allow their prejudice to overcome common sense.

Answer 18

the jury is still out on this one and  don't wait up.

we have almost as many 'debunkers' as we do conspiritorists.

  until a much larger time frame passes we may  never know the truth.

many 'experts' in building ,design, engineers etc have  had misgivings  over the collapse of the twin towers which  film evidence showing almost conclusively it was a managed collapse not a structural one  by weight and  buckling/collapsing beams etc.

  no doubt in 10 or 20 years time we may see  some computer modelling by uninvolved scientists  who will show  all aspects and present  the most logically and fact fitting explanation. until then, it's  your choice.

ps there is an article debunking popular mechanics as inept and in wrong field of expertise so  it's a bit of a see saw thing.

  for each one  on one side we one on there other side counter claiming.

Answer 19

I read it after Rosie O'Donnell spouted off her words of wisdom when she said, "fire doesn't melt steel."  

Remember folks, steel beams and car parts come out of the ground pre-shaped.

Answer 20

That's great that is! Lol

He must have let his brain on the groud, what a zero!

Answer 21

Popular mechanics is a joke.  Even NIST debunks Popular Mechanics.  Anyone citing Popular Mechanics is a source is actually quite helpful to the truth movement!

PM is nothing more than paid propaganda.  Research the money trail, the undisclosed conflicts of interest, ownership, and the connections to people inside the government suspected of complicity in the events of 9/11.  LOLOLOLOL!

For some balance,

EDIT.

LOL.  I listened to your clips OK.  Yes you are being sarcastic.  Good clips.  They expose Davin Coburn and Poplular Mechanics for exactly what they are - disinformation machines.  Too funny!
