Jet v/s Steel? How about Mustang v/s Steel?
I haven't heard much from the "plane shoulda bounced off the WTC" argument lately but i'm certain our group of truthers can explain this.
the grey object in the middle is a 1995 Ford Mustang GT. Clocking in at 3258 pounds, this is no paper weight. Well, it is now, but, I digress. The bent blue bar is our steel security gate. It weighs, give or take... 2, maybe 300 pounds. The green stuff is vegetation. I didn't get a good weigh in on the shrubs. But, my question is... how could a car - a Mustang- doing about 45 mph... again - a MUSTANG- ... do this to a steel security gate? Ok, so, he curb hopped and took out the gate an a 2007 Accord but narrowly missed a 2008 Acura RDX (with technology package, asking $22,900) and caused so much carnage his headlights popped out and skidded over 150 feet across the parking lot. How? Shouldn't Truther Physics © apply and had this car bounce back into traffic? What's the deal, man? Explain this to me. |

UC, I told you: The gate down means stop, not accelerate!

Everyone knows that Ford builds demolition charges into their cars in the unlikely event someone thinks about driving them in the same vicinity as competently built automobiles. It's important to their engineers that when the car inevitably flies apart into pieces it does so in a very predictable manner.

Obvious fake. Who would buy, let alone drive in public, a Mustang with such an ugly color?!?

Clearly, the Mustang did not take the Path of Least Resistance, as required by the Laws of Physics.

How convenient the pole is painted the same color as the sky. How much you wanna bet that Cheney ordered that color?

Obvious CD, man! How did that gate fall in its own footprint, huh? You sheeple believe everything Teh Man puts out there for your gullble consumption, don't you?

Have the videos of the 12 security cams at the Toyota dealership im the background been released to the public yet? No? Do you sheeple ever wonder why they haven't? I tell ya: conficscated by FBI agents seconds after the incident.
Ah and who exactly are the 3 guys in identical blue shirts on the left? Agents, that's who! |

[ace baker] You've unwittingly stumbled upon the truth and cannot see it. There's no engine because the guy in the control room slipped up and forgot to insert the video of the engine. It's a CGI car! What really happened is that a company owned by a guy who once cleaned the pool of a guy who lived next door to Prescott Bush's dentist was hired to, uh "manage" the parking facility. Over the previous evening they planted 4,340 nano-quantum thermote (not thermite nor thermate but really advance stuff) charges in the gate because,.... uh,.... well, because they're evil, man. They're the gubmint! Say no more. Buy my crappy records, m'kay? [/ace baker]

The viciousness of the swarm, spending hours 24/7 insisting that this is not a normal car accident, always reassures me that I am correct and fighting the good fight.

Yep. The first class that engineers take in school is how to get things to fly apart in just such a manner as to shift public opinion in favor of whatever their masters want it shifted to.
For instance, the pattern in which the front end of that Mustang came apart? That tells Americans to consume more corn, thus propping up the failing Corn Consortium. It's also possible, if the appropriate pattern is applied, to get them to support a war in any country in the world. Stupid sheeple! |

Does someone have a youtube link to the video? I'm going to analyse the crap out of it to make sure it fits my preconceived conclusion that this "accident" was really a plot by GM to go to war with Ford.

You will all notice 3 or 4 men standing around all wearing similar coloured shirts - now what are the chances of that happening when a Mustang allegedly causes the collapse of the steel barrier?
It's got to be a false flag operation, obvious, except to a moron or sheeple of course, and probably organised by the Toyota dealer over the road. I mean, they sell cars and have a vested interest in other cars shown being wrecked by a wimpy steel barrier. Oh, and was the steel barrier insured by any chance? |

The ultimate problem is that Truther Physics © = Wiley Coyote physics.
Then again, having worked in a steel mill that made auto body sheet metal, I can tell you that when we had mill wrecks, the damage done to other metal things could be quite great. Sheet metal vs. solid machined or cast metal = mangled sheet metal and little damage to anything else. Sheet metal vs. pipe or tubed welded structures = mangled everything. |

That turn is not even possible in a Mustang.
(Serious note: That's not just the crappiest color for a 'stang, but the choice of the offsetting two-tones, or is it three, is horrid. It might actually be CGI. No human would actually choose those colors.) |

CIT has interviewed the man in black across the street and his "daughter", who saw the car approach from the east, therefore proving that the Mustang jumped over the gate. They will be releasing their documentary video "The Mustang Flyover" soon.

Why is there no official list of serial numbered timestamped parts found at the crash site?

Thankfully no evidence of a directed energy weapon so they'll be no in-fighting.
Have those leaves/branches been analysed for the presence of any termite? |

Surely, the cell phone call prior to the accident was faked! And, those paint chips on the ground can only be caused by burning thermite!
The approach angle of the Mustang is all wrong, too! There's no way it could survive such stresses! Inside Job! Nothing is going to convince me otherwise! |
