SGTV airs every Thursday at 8pm in Manhattan on Time Warner Cable Channel 34 and RCN cable channel 107Here is a review from Democrats.com: 9-11 Video Challenges Myth of Bush's Heroism Summary: Documentary filmmaker Sherman Rainbolt has produced as excellent 30-minute video about 9-11 that exposes the lie that Bush responded heroically on 9-11. As the terrifying events unfold, we see a split screen with Bush sitting in the Florida classroom, while firefighters in the lobby of the WTC plan their efforts to evacuate the towers. The film is called "Wat Tyler's Revenge," named after a 14th Century English commoner who led a rebellion challenging Richard II. Click on the video screen to start the film. Note: the video file is enormous,
so do something else while you wait for it to download. SGTV airs every Thursday at 8pm in Manhattan on Time Warner Cable Channel

Rumor Mill News Reading Room Forum MIT REPORT [on WTC Collapse] IS INCOMPETENT
Posted By: Aladdin <aladdin(@)scientist.com>
Date: Wednesday, 17 April 2002, 9:54 a.m.If I may add to the current discussion on just the one point of how the MIT article went ... it would appear that the MIT professors merely "glossed" over these few technical points rather than treating it with the detail it deserves.
> 1. The Twin Towers were designed to survive the impact of a

> What they didn't survive was the intense heat from the

How much time did it take for the Towers to fall from time of impact? [South Tower: 47 minutes; North Tower: 1 hour and 44 minutes.] This question was never addressed by the MIT report.
> The resulting failure of the 2-3 floor system at the site of

> to 85 floor structure below.This is a false statement. The floors above did NOT free-fall. If the 2-3 layers that were hit became mashed potato the floors above would just continue to lower itself and SIT on the floors below ... THE FLOORS ABOVE DID NOT FREE FALL!
> The enormous energy released by this collapse was too large
> to be absorbed by the structure below.FALSE! An extension of the above.
> That impact may have ultimately caused the explosive

A tall structure such as the WTC would have been designed for a certain "failure mechanism" that would prohibit such a simple mode of failure ... failure by buckling floor by floor, which is one of the first modes to be considered by the designers, would have been "restrained" at certain KEY points along the building's height, that is unless those points in the lower floors far below were rendered "ineffective" by another external force such as a minor detonation. It would require "several" key points to be made useless before such a failure can occur.
> Similar to a car crash in a wall, the towers crashed into
> the ground with an almost free-fall velocity.No competent engineer can agree with this analogy. This imagery of a car crashing into a wall to "simulate" a building failure is only meant to dupe the public.
What we have witnessed on TV is a total failure of the 2 WTC Towers which cannot occur unless the impact and explosion occurred at the LOWER floors and even then .... Those planes hit the buildings at the upper third and, at the very least, the lower third should have remained standing!
We have actually witnessed the deliberate DEMOLITION of the WTC by, not only the impact of the planes but also by some other unknown devices that were detonated at crucial points in the building's structure.
I am trained in Engineering as well as Tall Steel Structures and have worked with high strength steel, and I have seen catastrophic failures before in other structures as well as demolition work ... the MIT professors are NOT TELLING THE TRUTH.
A close inspection of the remaining steel would be sufficient to verify the real story but apparently this is not possible due to the removal of the "evidence"!
These 2 men — Oral Buyukozturk, Professor and Franz-Josef Ulm, Associate Professor — both of them are versant in Structures and Materials apparently but their report would have failed Engineering 101 ... they may have put their names on the MIT report but they certainly did not write it.
That is my honest opinion as an engineer. What is painful to me is the silence of the others in the engineering fraternity.
