So Jones was deluded about Cold Fusion as well as 911 - but Cold Fusion is real, therefore his views on 911 must also be correct. Just look at the Pennsylvania plane crash pictures of the gouged and burned ground from "impact" - will notice tall green grass growing where the plane was supposed to have impacted. Anyone with half a brain cell knows that grass does not spring up over two feet tall moments after it gets crushed and burned by an airplane crash. But many people still believe a plane crashed there, even though there was no sign of an airplane.
