yeah well, I haven't fact checked it or listened to the whole thing, but the latter part of it sounds a lot like a physics lecture. One disappointment -- I googled their "MIT engineer" and while he has a good physics background he is currently a doctor. Not the most overwhelming of credentials, but as he said, the laws of nature that the current version do not take into account are rather elementary. It is true that you would expect a building that's been struck on one side to fall over, not down. I'm a little more concerned that the film's producer would subtly misrepresent him that way, and it makes me wonder a bit about the rest of it.
- I for one am certainly not prepared to belive anything of the kind without a great deal more fact checking that I am prepared to do right now. And supposing it were true, what then? The American public seems prepared to accept pretty much anything that doesn't interfere with their ability to sip a latte while driving their Hummers to work.
