I don't believe they did. My suspicions fell along the lines of the plot being discovered ahead of time by parties unidentified who took advantage of the situation for gain, or less likely, that parties unidentified were aware of or were party to the plot and were cold blooded enough to co-operate in order to change the political climate here. There are people who stood to gain from such a disaster politically or economically and I have had few qualms about casting my yellow eye around since the OKC bombing and subsequent revelation of the conspiracy behind it.

You can see it on the >before >and after photos at >http://www.spaceimaging.com/gallery/9-11/default.htm# Thanks Dan! Every photo I have seen in the past (That I recall at least) was too far away or too close to show the extent of the debris field around the towers. With these pics I can approximate the distances and it seems to me that the buildings collapsed in accordance with my expectations. So often you hear the phrase "Collapsed into thier own basement/footprint" and these photos put the lie to that. The towers splashed downward *and outward* until the kinetic energy was spent and if there was some toppling then you can see the debris in all the right places. Last night I was ruminating (thats talking to myself for you laymen<G>) that the tilting of the south tower should have left debris at a distance at least 10% of the buildings height lateral to its base and these pics convince me that I was not far off the mark in my guesstimation. That was *my* intuitive guess and I suppose I was being overly conservative. Damn that's a lot of joules at ground level! Now I think it is time I spent the next ten minutes in contemplative silence in remembrance of the WTC dead. xponent Praying My Guilt Away Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
