4. I know that the security company has a blood relation to of all people, BUSH.

1. Gravity is straight down--what's supplying a sideway force? Like we were always told in physics class--"Draw the free body diagram"

2. WHAT do you actually see? Puffs of smoke/dust? You even say you don't know exactly what.

3. Documented somewhere accessible? And how many other unscheduled shutdowns were ther in the buildings' history.

4. Again, documented somewhere accessible, sounds more like urban legend.

When? And was it well documented or a lot of possibly, maybe, coulda beens?

Don't forget, this is a magazine that in the '50s/'60s would have had us believe that by now we'd all be flying around in our personal jets that we kept in our garages next to our nuclear powered cars. I'm still waiting!

I've seen all of that, but I'm still not 100% convinced of zero impropriety.

I'm not going to be a loon about it, but I'll always say I have doubts.

I'm just curious, where does your info of an unscheduled security system shut down come from? And in such large buildings I would assume a complex system, subject to maintenance issues.

D you also have info for the buildings' history for how many unscheduled shut downs occurred when no big events followed shortly afterwards?

It was a while ago, and I can't find it at this point. I did come up with this though....

Sort of a "one stop shop" for 911 conspiracy theorists, but they don't really get into speculation. They more so talk about "reports".

I'm sorry, it reeks. I'm not going to even think about accusations because it's far fetched, and there is no concrete evidence, but it still reeks.

Do they have any comparisons?. Structural engineers usually have concrete theories. I am curious about this now. It is a science-at least- unlike politics.
I agree w/you- Yap- It is sort of upsetting to even think about.
