Don’t you know that Giant Jet Planes only cause small fires!!!???

I guess when I watched that second plane hit the building (through my office window) I was seeing things.

Very interesting stuff. But like someone said, in #3, the writer somehow overlooks the small matter of a huge jet airliner crashing into the building and the resulting intense heart of burning jet fuel. I guess he missed hearing about that in all the excitement over the “fire” at the World Trade Center.

Anything that creates a dialogue about the facts and fallacies of 9/11 is valuable. Holding even the slightest possibility of doubt about the official story of 9/11 evokes a degree of mistrust and fear. I’d like to see that change.

To be fair, guys, the whole premise of Tuesday Turnip is posting whatever turns up from the search. Sometimes it’s gonna be goofy, but there’s no point in ragging on the floss about it.

What about the Anaconda Smelter Stack in Montana? It’s the tallest free standing masonry structure in the world.

The CN Tower (the former worlds tallest structure) was dethroned by Dubai building back in September.

I’m sure #3 just “forgot” that the trade centers got hit by a airplane, and that the fire that burned inside the build was caused by airplane fuel rather than a simple office fire.

I like mental floss, but can we get some less sketchy links in the future, because it seems pointless. (it’s great that you have a recent story, just from a little more reputable source please).
