The World Trade Center towers probably had bombs in them. Didn't you
see the explosions before they fell, in a controlled manner? I actually
recall thinking to myself that very morning, hey, that looked like an
explosion in one of the towers, on live television. Seismographs report
explosions, as well as the plane crashes and the buldings "pancaking".
I don't believe everything I read or am told. I believe most things I
see. I believe most things that I'm told or read, unless they are
contradictory with my preexisting or later knowledge.
Anyways, some "conspiracy whistle-blower" pages, using news reports,
claim the seismographs report a nuclear explosion. I find that hard to
believe, although the pile was hot. Other things claim that for the
towers to fall as they did, just like almost as if they were planned
demolitions, would require bombs set off at various specific locations.
The huge water tanks at the top of the towers, which among other things
are to keep them stable, were empty.
The F.P. Murrah building in Oklahoma city was almost destroyed. At the
time I believed the story that some army guy filled a truck full of
explosves by himself and that that caused the destruction. I had
suspicions he was under orders. Later, when I saw the guy, I was like,
that's messed up. Recently I heard that unexploded munitions within the
building, demolition munitions, were discovered.
I was working in a federal building at a time when they had some
security increase, and what happened there was visibly that a guard was
at one of the fewer doors and you had to show him the ID badge to
enter. The Reagan building had much more security, they had those guys
with mirrors on sticks peeping under car autobodies. I'm downright
offended at the lack of security in our nuclear weapons programs, China
didn't get nuke tech from supercomputers, one case to consider is "Peter
Lee", not "Wen Ho Lee".
What did and does a Geiger counter say about "Ground Zero"? A "Ground
Zero" is in Hiroshima, where more than a hundred thousand civilians,
that are, people, were killed at one time by an atomic bomb to prevent
an invasion of Japan to end World War II in the Pacific.
