Star Wars Beam Weapon and the WTC Bathtub
http://janedoe0911.tripod.com/StarWarsBeam1.html
Drs. Wood and Reynolds complete their thesis in public view. They note that the Kingdome demolition created a 2.3 richter earthquake, and point out that WTC had many times the PE, and should have caused a much larger earthquake than the 2.3, and 2.1 quakes that were actually measured. The foundation of the WTC (the "bathtub") was not damaged. This is strong evidence for the near total disintegration of the towers before they hit the ground. They caclulate how much dust should be produced, and present lots of photographic evidence of disintegration. Also shown are many difficult-to-explain phenomena, such as the toasted cars, and blown out windows. I eagerly await any "debunking". |

Well, I eagerly await anything to bunk besides a personal opinion and argument from ignorance.

You know, it's pretty bloody impossible for them to hit the ground intact....unless you imagine them being lifted by some incredible lifting ray traction beam thingy and then dropped from a great height.
Still, there is always the possibility that jesus walked amongst the mayans. |

So it was a controlled thermite demolition AND a beam weapon attack? And there were no planes and all of the videos were fakes?

Anyone else besides me think that Dr. Wood is one sexy momma?
Isn't Morgan Reynolds a "no planer"? |

just some random questions:
Would the geology of the areas impacted affect the richter reading? Is this analyzed at all? Richter is a peak reading, if it the peak were held longer during the WTC collapse would the same amount of energy be dissipated as a higher peak in a shorter time? Did they calculate the loss of energy that went into destroying the building instead of the ground? In a CD (i.e. the King Dome) more energy goes into the ground because not as much is needed to destroy the building itself. |

Ok, I really don't have the time or desire to wade through the entire bloody thing. But a few things that immediately jump out at me:
Figure 14 and 15. WTC station and platform before the event, and on 11/23/03. What is this supposed to show? It took a couple years and probably quite a few million dollars to get the stations open again. Figure 13: WTC Station Platform after the event; this PATH train wasn't crushed. Again, so what? Figure 22: Warner Bros. Store in the mall under where WTC2 "fell" That's not a photo of the store, it's a storage room where much of what remained after the collapse is stored. An error at best, deliberately misleading at worst. Figure 23: Roadrunner survived! See above. And so? Do they really think that every single object was turned to dust? God, I can't even go further, much less look at the Satr Wars beam crap. My head hurts looking at so much stupid. |

I love the fact that there is nothing under the subheading of "Conclusions." It speaks volumes...
I noticed the infamous "billiard ball" page was linked to. Was this tripe written by the same person who didn't understand the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions in momentum equations? |

If this is the same person who drafted the "billiard ball" website I have no need to read on, just as if someone created a site that purported to have evidence that the Amish were behind 9/11.

Star warz beam weapons do not yet exist on that scale.

Dr. Wood's area of expertise is moire interferometry, an optical method of measuring surface strains. She is so far out of her field as to be laughable. Dr. Reynolds is an economist! His ability to speak intelligently or coherently on building collapse and the mechanics involved is on a par with the fellow who set fire to his rabbit cage.
The only event this paper is evidence of is academics straying way WAY out of their lane and appealing to their PhD (in entirely unrelated fields) to lend weight to their mindless blatherings. |

On the plus side, we now have the phasers finished for when we get the Enterprise working. TS1234, how's the work on the tractor beam coming? Also, have you figured out how to sustain a stable warp field?

Dammit,
All of this is because of me. When I was there on 9/11 I had one of these with me: http://www.wickedlasers.com/products...ontent=extreme That must be what Woods is referring to, right? |

Is this a joke? Can anyone explain the Levi's shop under "conclusions" on page six?
Hmm, I'm too slow. |

Transcript, 9/10/01 NSA.
POTUS: As you can see, we plan to use our "LASER" fired from what I have decided to call our "DEATH STAR" to completely demolish two buildings in New York. Now, we will use the chaos that follows to seize the Middle-East's oil and make . . . . a billion dollars. SECDEF: But won't people notice a death beam knocking down buildings? POTUS: That is the beauty of this plan. The beam is completely invisible. We will simultaneously hijack two of our own planes and crash duplicates of them into the tower at precisely the same instant that the beam hits, causing people to believe that the massive collision and resulting, uncontrolled fires actually causes the buildings to collapse. We will blame the hijackers for the mess and use it as a pretext for our plans. VPOTUS: Um. Wouldn't just hitting the buildings with the planes or missiles actually cause a huge amount of damage, even without this . . . er- POTUS: "LASER" VPOTUS: Yeah, sure. Even without this beam, wouldn't the collision and fire kill a lot of people? POTUS: Well, yes. VPOTUS: I mean, wouldn't that be enough for our purposes, even if the buildings don't actually fall down -- although they might. POTUS: Well, yes. SECDEF: So adding this laser thing doesn't actually do anything for us? POTUS: . . . SECDEF: And if it is essentially undetectable, wouldn't it just be easier to use it on our enemies? POTUS: But it is shiny. Cheney, kill him. [loud noise] SECDEF: Gaaaaarrh. [undetermined thump noise] POTUS: Very good. SECDEF: I'm not actually dead. POTUS: . . . SECDEF: He's only managed to wound me with bird shot. POTUS: . . . SECDEF: This is quite painful, but I should survive with prompt medical attention. VPOTUS: Oh, who cares. Let's just do it so I can get more oil money in a mysterious fashion that we'll work out later. POTUS: Very well. It is all very simple, gentlemen. NATSECADV: Sure. All we do is find a number of men that can be easily blamed as foreign terrorists and buy them one way plane tickets for tomorrow morning, then we send out teams to make them disappear and leave suicide notes and video tapes from people cleverly disguised to mimic them. Our own men will then hijack 4 planes and divert them to Pennsylvania, where the passengers will be killed and disposed of by our unquestioning minions. Duplicate images of those planes will be created from missiles that will be fired by military jets, striking the twin towers just before we use our "LASER" to disintegrate the buildings. A third duplicate plane missile will be fired into the Pentagon, while we will stage the crash of the fourth plane in a field, scattering remains and personal affects of the passengers from one of the planes that we will take from them and transfer to the location with a team of men in time to plant them and leave before emergency help arrives. We will, by taking the passenger list of that plane and verifying that they actually made the flight, then use computer simulations of their voices that are capable of fooling their own family members to mimic calls to their loved ones, creating additional pathos. While we will choose men from Saudi Arabia as our patsies, we will nevertheless use them as a pretext for invading Iraq. VPOTUS: . . . POTUS: Well, sure. It sounds silly when you say it. |

Yes. No rubble, yet toasted cars. Cars half toasted, half pristine. Spontaneoulsy exploding car engines (not gas tanks). Firetruck burned out and windows broken but otherwise undamaged.
Yes, very hard for me to understand, do take a try a explaining how a flaming building falls and accomplishes this stuff. |
