    Dude, that was caused by an explosive device inside the tanker planted by a member of the E.L.F., who was, in fact, paid by some terrorist cell in the Middle East, which, in turn, was a cover for an elite undercover unit run by the CIA. ;)

    The secret service are keeping a close eye on the log books this morning. Did anyone else notice this?

    Apparently, it's possible that Bush slipped out the back door of the whitehouse, caught a commercial redeye flight (coach no less), flew to California where his buddies had this tanker loaded and ready for him.... drove it out on the overpass and ignited it.

    Don't buy into all those "Crash" reports, those are just conspiracy.

    Also, we all know that even Jet Fuel can't melt steel, not even 60,000 gallons of it. So, we know it wasn't gas that Bush had in this tanker, it was something else and 'they' are not telling us the whole story.

    There are multiple counts of people seeing Bush on the return flight (Coach also, I guess the white house travel staff isn't what it was when Hillary was in charge).

    Beth, Virgina says
    Call it what you will, I think the 'driver crashed a tanker of gas' theory is just a big brother account to cover up the truth.

    Speaking of Conspiracy Theories...

    And try this one on for size!

    I thought it would only be a joke but the theorists are jumping up and down on this one!

    Conspiracy? Nah.

    Perhaps I should leave that to the OTHER bleeding heart, knee-jerk liberals, though...
    [smiling]

    I read about a test where a 1-foot diameter steel beam and a 1-foot diameter wood piling were each placed under the same structural load, and then subjected to heat...surprise, the steel failed first.

    And the greater the load, the quicker the steel failed relative to the wood piling.

    I guess this isn't so unusual, but I for one just kind of automatically assumed that steel is a LOT stronger than wood.

    Once I asked a construction worker what that coating was that they were applying to the exposed steel beams of a new high-rise....he told me that it was to protect the steel from heat! This is the first I knew of such a thing, and even then it gave me pause.

    I hope this vulnerability isn't again exploited, in the way exemplified by the 9/11 tragedy.

    I believe the steel beams at the WTC were also coated but the shock of the airplane strike knocked the coating off.

    What about those tracking lasers they used?

    ...I think it may have been an unmanned semi...radio-controlled or something...

    I agree the demolition theory is nonsense.But that doesnt mean there werent conspiracies involving 9/11.
    What was Bush covering up if there wasnt any conspiracy?Why did he try to impede the Congressional investigation and finally censure their report?
    Was he only covering up his own screw ups.

    For the Oakland Bay Bridge ramp on Sunday morning, many eyewitnesses clearly saw missiles fired from a US military spy plane. It's a FACT! My wife read it on the internet!

    A shooter was spotted on a grassy knoll next to the freeway.

    It's actually rather surprising how strong wood can be at times.

    To get a little technical, steel is a better conductor of heat than wood. Add to that the fact that steel becomes malleable at high temperatures, while wood does not, and you have the solution. It also takes time for the wood to burn through to the point of breaking (think of a big log on a fire, with one charred side facing the flames... it takes forever to burn through).

    So while wood may last longer in extremely high temperatures like that, it'll also catch fire at lower temperatures and burn through, while steel would be just fine.

    I think it was the vietnamese who did it. Payback for the payback of the Gulf of Tonkin. Their weapons technology is slowly catching up. Now here comes their invasion.

    I knew giving away my last television set 10 years ago was a good idea, but I hadn't realized how much worse TV has gotten in that long decade. Wow.

    NYC Fire Code stipulates that the beams should be coated with fireproof material. Inspection photos taken after the WTC bombing showed naked beams. Nothing was corrected. Since the WTC was owned by the Port Authority of NY/NJ (a governmental agency) it was exempt from the City's fire code. However, I do believe the impact would have knocked some more off. (As seen on The History Channel's documentaries.)
