So I have this friend in my Corvette club, we’ll call him Woolly. Woolly is a 9/11 conspiracy theory nut, I mean he won’t shut up about the shit. Every time he’s on the phone, it this 9/11 was an inside job, and bombs were planted and the military industrial complex set the thing up and there were no planes, and on and on. Jesus! Where do these people think of this crap. Some of them are even semi-intelligent, and Woolly was one of those guys who I thought was smart. WTF?
Woolly (Southern twang):”No way tower 7 had an airplane crash into it. How did that fall?”
Me: (Holding picture of WTC complex): “See how close together the buildings on? Fire from the twins burnt every building around in the complex.”
Woolly: “Those tall buildings can’t collapse from a fire. Everything’s sprayed with fire retardant.”
Me: The planes were loaded with 10,000 gallons of jet fuel, 65,000 pounds of fuel-air explosive delivered horizontally at 450 knots. That’s three times as much as the largest conventional bomb in the US arsenal. That’s like saying, “If only the Japanese had sprayed fire retardant on Hiroshima!’”
And why would the military-industrial complex blow up the World Trade Center to start a war? Wouldn’t they pick a target that would be politically savvy to blow up? And make that look like terrorists or Sadaam or whoever? Cause Wall Street and the WTC is where they get their financing services from. That’s the last place they would blow up. And why would the military-industrial complex pick a tin-can hoodlum like Bin Laden in the Stan to go after? Wouldn’t they rather set up Sadaam, or North Korea if they really wanted to sell a lot of equipment?
Or maybe I’m just dumb for trolling these guys. But it was kinda fun!
