Also: How can they be reconciled with the “official conspiracy theory” put forward by the Bush administration?

 

And why do the mainstream mass media continues to marginalize the testimony of these eyewitnesses?

 

In conclusion and summary, the trick of this Administration and the corporate media in general, appears to have been to swing public opinion as fast and furiously as possible through a blitz of emotion -- until a majority opinion had been reached, thereby allowing human reason and reflection no time to evaluate findings like these:

 

* Steel supports were "partly vaporized," which would require a temperature near 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit to accomplish — and neither office materials nor jet fuel can generate temperatures anywhere near that hot -- all of them burn at temps below 1600 degrees F. Fires caused by jet fuel from the hijacked planes lasted at most a few minutes, and office material fires would burn out within about 20 minutes in any given location. (Indeed, at one point firemen reported that fires were nearly out.)

 

* Molten metal found in the debris of the World Trade Center may well have been the result of the high-temperature reactions of a commonly used incendiary such as thermite (which burns at 4500 degrees Fahrenheit).

 

* Multiple loud explosions in rapid sequence were reported by numerous observers who were in and near the towers, and these explosions occurred far below the region where the planes struck. So what caused these extremely powerful explosions (if not planted explosives)?

 

Finally, why won't BushCo release 6,899 photographs and 6,977 segments of video footage for "independent scrutiny? Why won't they release, for independent analysis, a small sample of the once-molten metal found at Ground Zero? (Could it be that chemical traces of an incendiary compound like thermite would be found in any such sample?)
