Exposing Falsehoods and Revealing Truths

9/11 Conspiracy Theories Rife in Muslim World

Here's a nice note I received from Tom Potter:

9/11 conspiracy theories rife in Muslim world
I
STANBUL – About a week ago, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared to the United Nations
that most people in the world believe the United States was behind the
terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

To many people in the West, the statement was ludicrous, almost laughable
if it
weren't so incendiary. And surveys show that a majority of the world
does not in fact believe that the U.S. orchestrated the attacks.

Oh really? Most people I know do not believe a single word of the U. S.
government's 9/11 conspiracy theory. Maybe you are not familiar with the
following surveys:

In an October 2006 poll by New York Times/CBS News only 16% of the respondents believe that the U. S. government is telling the truth about 9/11.

In an August 2004 Zogby poll 49.3% of New York City residents and 41% of New York citizens overall say that some of our leaders "Knew in advance that attacks were planned on
or around September 11, 2001, and that they consciously failed to act."

In a November 2004 poll by CNN 89% believe there is a U.S. government cover-up surrounding 9/11.

Most of the jet fuel, principally kerosene, burned up in those fireballs in the first fifteen seconds or so. Below the 96th floor in the North Tower and the 80th in the South, they were stone cold steel, which functioned as a massive heat sink dissipating the heat from building up on the steel.
#
The melting point of steel at 2,800 degrees F is 1,000 degrees higher than the maximum burning temperature of jet-fuel-based fires, which do not exceed 1,800 degrees under optimal conditions. The NIST examined 236 samples of steel and 233 had not been exposed to temperatures above 500 degrees F and the others not above 1200.
#
Underwriters Laboratory certified the steel in the buildings up to 2,000 degrees F for three or four hours without any significant effects, where these fires burned neither long enough or hot enough—at an average temperature of about 500 degrees for about one hour in the South Tower and one and a half in the North—to weaken, much less melt.
#
If the steel had melted or weakened, then the affected floors would have displayed completely different behavior, with some degree of asymmetrical sagging and tilting, which would have been gradual and slow, not the complete, abrupt and total demolition that was observed. Which means the NIST cannot even explain the initiation of any “collapse” sequence.
