Another Incredulous first reaction

[canetoad]

Charles Thornton (bio here http://www.csinet.org/s_csi/sec_CSIWeekly.asp?TRACKID=&CID=1355&DID=10660)describes his first reactions when the towers were struck,

"My first reaction was, it isn't so bad. It's only the top 12 floors," he said of that morning. He went uptown to see things closer, and watched 1 WTC collapse.

"I couldn't believe it," he said.

In this article http://www.princeton.edu/~seasweb/OLD/eqnews/fall01/feature2.html he then goes on to talk about progressive collapse brought about by jet fuel in the lift shafts.

Both Thornton and Van Romero had immediate reactions, utter astonishment that the towers could collapse in the manner they did. Van Romero as we know, recanted rapidly.

"Dr. Thornton admitted, however, that there are very few things of which engineers can be certain. He expects that even the terrorists had no way of knowing that the buildings would collapse."

"I believe they absolutely lucked out," he said.

1. Good articles, Canetoad

Thanks!

5. Hiya H

It just struck me as odd that another well credentialled professional had a 'WTF?' immediate reaction. There was the German demo expert, Van Romero and now this guy. Their gut feeling was that planes did not cause the collapse.

Of course, whatever they said later on was probably 'directed', but that first gut reaction fascinates me.

6. Hi back at ya, Canetoad

"First gut reactions" are often the most accurate (and the most spontaneous).

7. This is still my favorite first gut reaction

"Amazing, incredible pick your word. For the third time today, it’s reminiscent of those pictures we’ve all seen too much on television before, where a building was deliberately destroyed by well placed dynamite to knock it down."

No wonder he got rathered...

Plane Impact Times – Indicting New Evidence of 9/11 Coverup & Involvement
Summary:

One World Trade, September 11th, 2001
American Airlines Flight 11
8:46:40 UTC - FAA last primary radar contact
8:46:30 UTC - LDEO/NIST
Both times: real, accurate to the second

Q- What caused the 8:46:30 seismic event ~10 seconds before the aircrash?
A- The only possibility...huge explosion(s).

Q- Who caused these explosions?

Notes:
Ginny Carr audiotape ~9.2 second gap between initial explosion and aircrash.
The 9/11 Commission avoided the time of the initial seismic event.
The 9/11 Commission avoided the many witnesses who testified of explosions in the basements before the plane crashed, and NIST avoided the witnesses as well.
NIST avoided the 9/11 Commission’s time of the aircrash.

Demand a new 9/11 investigation now, THIS TIME ONE WITH TEETH.

Justice waits.
