It crashed into a much smaller building at a more vulnerable spot in terms of vertical susceptibility, but the scale of plane to building might be considered comparable enough if one is to use the official explanation of how the 9/11 blasts mushroomed into infernos that resulted in two huge precision implosions and the subsequent collapse of un-hit CIA building 7.I am a "grassy knoll" type of person and so don't believe in the Warren Commiss.I also believe that there is much more to each story than we have been told. So looking closely at almost anything can lead one to believe in cover-up and conspiracy. But sometimes, if only for sanity, one has to accept--for the moment-- the official version. The official version for 9/11 is probably quite close to what happenned. (I think storing fuel in the twin towers made the fires and explosions much worse---I understand that yet another report is to come out in 2007 on the structural integrity of the buildings.) -----Original Message----- From: Karen Watters Cole [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 4:26 PM To: Cordell, Arthur: ECOM; Darryl or Natalia; [email protected] Subject: RE: [Futurework] 10/11 Yes, that is true. You can't compare a small plane with a fully fuelled 767, that's why those cross-country flights were chosen. But in the aftermath of 9/11, structural engineers and construction experts stated that they were astounded that both towers fell, because they were designed to withstand such an impact. Furthermore, oral histories taken by First Responders indicate multiple smaller explosions were heard. Lingering doubts will remain. Pieces of the puzzle we may not know for certain for a long time, just as there are still doubts about the full truth of the Warren Commission. I am not sure many want to know the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Hopefully, historians will dare to dig and reveal.

Strangely, few died, and thousands didn't. Could it be that no demolition strength explosives were installed ahead of time, and that Dick Cheney and the DOD didn't need to hamper emergency response time by scheduling a mock air attack for the same day? I witnessed the second plane attack on the WTC, saw re-runs of the first tower attack that morning. These planes had difficulty aligning themselves for attack position because of the number and height of the buildings around them, and in the case of the second tower, the plane circled round tower II for a better shot. This precluded speed. The second plane actually looked clumsy enough to practically slide off the tower's facade. Er, I'm sure it's been pointed out that the official version of 9/11 is just another conspiracy theory. Yet having to believe it for the sake of sanity is tantamount to putting faith in the Bush administration's ever shifting reasons for invading Iraq, or having to believe that there have been few Iraqi casualties. The official version came out of an administration that has consistently put the mob to shame in its record of public service. It has consistently shown that money and power are the drive behind every major move made, so why is it such a stretch to arrive at the likelihood that a "situation" was created or greatly assisted to realize those greedy goals? War hawks, with huge war related investment portfolios; how could you underestimate their greed to the point that you actually choose to believe they adhere to any modicum of ethical behaviour?
