9/11 Discussions at Democratic Underground
Lately I've been spending (wasting) a lot of time at the 9/11 forum at Democratic Underground.
At least they are keeping the site open for now and there are a lot of 9/11 skeptics there. It's a good place for exchanges, though most of the discussions that I have had have been fruitless so far.
This picture, that started a particularly long and silly thread, shows the gash in the WTC tower made by the plane. Despite the silliness of the thread, the picture is very interesting-- especially when you compare it to the hole made by a 757 crashing into the Pentagon. What happened to the solid floors between the stories in this hole in the WTC? Four stories of floors seem to have been completely blown away. By what? The wings of the plane? Why didn't the wings of the plane do this much damage to the Pentagon? It's very curious.
Granted, the exterior walls of the Pentagon were very different than the exterior walls of the WTC-- the Pentagon walls were reinforced concrete. But the steel columns that were on the outside of the WTC should have been pretty tough too. Not to mention that once the walls of both structures were penetrated, the floors between the stories should have been relatively equivalent structures. But the hole in the Pentagon hardly shows even ONE floor being blown away, whereas the in the WTC, several floors were demolished at the impact site.
The whole point being, what caused the damage at the Pentagon? I'm simply not convinced it was a Boeing 757.
