    There had to be several hundred if not thousands of witnesses. Are you sure that 7 of them dying is even statistically significant? And "some of whom" sounds to me like another attempt to make something that isn't significant sound like it is.



    Also, it sounds like that couple should have learned how to drive better.

    but car are designed not to blow up
    Sure, but they still do. Especially if there is something in the car that's flammable or combustible - and of course, the peddlers of conspiracy theories never discuss the full story - just the 'jet fuel can't melt steel' talking point.
    Axeing questions gets me in trouble around here, but what the fuck?


    Ok, for the sake of discussion, let's say jet fuel DOES melt steel. How the fuck did jet fuel get inside Building 7?






    Just a question. Not offering any solutions. Just a question.

    Wow 7 people died out of the 22,000 people in attendance (or more, depending on who counts as a witness).

    The odds of dying in a given year when you are 33 are 1 in 1,500. Probably a safe number to use for average age at this concert.

    22,000 / 1,500 = 14.6 annual expected deaths

    14.6 / 12 = 1.21 expected deaths per month

    1.21 * 2 months that have passed = 2.41 expected deaths.

    If the average age was closer to 40, that number doubles. Either way, nothing to go conspiracy kook over.

    I'm not a scientist but if two 757s loaded with fuel for a trans continental trip starting in Boston crash into buildings in New York there will be a tremendous amount of fuel dumped all over the area, not just in the two towers.

    We don't need to say jet fuel will melt steel because it won't.

    But it doesn't have to in order to bring down a building. Steel doesn't need to melt in order to fail.

    I know that's not very exciting or mysterious, but it's true.
