Re: 911 sun angle question



Much of that airplane is aluminum and plastic. Take an aluminum can,
place it into a very hot camp fire, and watch it be consumed before your
very eyes. Aluminum oxydizes rapidly in the presence of atmospheric air
(in fact, when it was first identified as an element, it was kept in a
sealed, airtight container for fear that it would completely oxydize).
The only reason why it doesn't completely oxydize while sitting in air
is because the oxydation process rapidly forms a layer of AlO2 on the
surface, which protects it from further oxydation. In a large inferno
such as occurred in the after math of the Pentagon attack, the aluminum
would be consumed rapidly. Oh, and by the way, the 757 did not
completely vaporize. Any plane flying at nearly full speed and striking
a hardened building such as the Pentagon is going to disintegrate
practically on impact. Much of what is left will be consumed in the
fire. However, there were plenty of small parts left in the wreckage of
the Pentagon. Of course, the plastic was consumed as well.

But don't let the facts stop you from making a complete ass our of
yourself. If you had taken some science courses instead of spending all
your time at political rallies when you went to school (and on
conspiracy theory web sites as an immature adult), you might actually
have learned something about chemistry, physics, and fuel explosions.

You're grasping at straws. The FBI even confiscated all security video
from other buildings that caught everything and
only showed the public that pathetic piece of footage.

Pointing out the obviously physical and chemical properties associated
with the destruction of a jetliner in an explosive impact with a harderned
building is NOT grasping at straws. Whether or not the FBI confiscated
all security video is irrelevant to the fact the the plane struck the
building, exploded and disintegrated on impact (as fuel-laden jet aircraft
are want to do in those circumstances), and burned up in the ensuing fuel
fire, all facts that were witnessed by hundreds of people, and all facts
that can be easily verified by the laws of chemistry and physics. Jeez,
take a science class after you get therapy, Mikey.

You still haven't done any science. Just a lot of conjecture. it's what I'd
expect from a HAZMAT techie boy.
If you want to hide your head in the sand be my guest.
To say there were "100's" of witnesses is ludicrous at best.
