Interested in finding people’s thoughts on how this had an effect on the USA entering WW2. Both events occurred at close of July 1945.

Yet another of my favorites from 2005 – my last year of teaching.

I know I say it every time, but it’s always true: great article!

She held the record for surviving the longest freefall IN AN ELEVATOR, not freefall in the sky.

“Climate change” / “Global warming” are government hoaxes. The WTC is not. There is ample energy in a fully loaded jetliner to weaken or melt steel.

Listen to the engineers here. They know what they’re talking about.

The WTC was built using the outer walls as support for the inner floors, unlike the ESb which used a full structure throughout, When the heat and explosion compromised the integrity of the imp[act zone the floor dropped onto the floor below and caused that one to fail, and so on and so on.

Yes. On impact the airliner delivers 25x more kinetic energy, not to mention fuel.

My grandfather W. Paul Dearing was the unfortunate soul on the ledge below the crash site. My grandmother who died in 1993 hated the book called “The Sky is Falling” as rubbish and sensationalist garbage. Col. Smith served his country with heroic distinction, and nobody in my mother’s family ever said a single bad word about him. He was a war hero who made a terrible mistake that anyone could have made. I do not know why my grandfather did not serve in the military in WWII, but he was doing his part for his country by doing his job. It is just mere coincidence that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Also, I do not believe as the famous film newsreel of the time stated that he was blown out by the blast. It is believed that he survived the initial blast but may have jumped out the hole in the building out of panic &/or shock. This is the price we pay for freedom from tyranny of those like Hitler & Tojo: our family members gave their lives for the cause of victory. Let freedom ring! Praise be to God-Father, Son, & Holy Ghost!
