Rosie O’Donnell Implicity Accuses The Government Of Involvement In 9/11…

…and Popular Mechanics, a magazine that has been exemplary from day one in exploding 9/11 conspiracy myths, puts her right in her very low place. First, Rosie:

Recently, Rosie O’Donnell, a co-host of ABC talk show The View, made comments on the show that renewed controversy over the collapse of World Trade Center 7.

While saying she didn’t know what to believe about the U.S. government’s involvement in the attacks of Sept. 11, she said, “I do believe that it’s the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel. I do believe that it defies physics that World Trade Center tower 7—building 7, which collapsed in on itself—it is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved. World Trade Center 7. World Trade [Center] 1 and 2 got hit by planes—7, miraculously, the first time in history, steel was melted by fire. It is physically impossible.”

She continued: “To say that we don’t know that it imploded, that it was an implosion and a demolition, is beyond ignorant. Look at the films, get a physics expert here [on the show] from Yale, from Harvard, pick the school—[the collapse] defies reason.”

What Rosie doesn’t know about physics could fill three oceans. The response:

1. Initial reports from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) misunderstood the amount of damage the 47-floor WTC7 sustained from the debris of the falling North Tower—because in early photographs, WTC7 was obscured by smoke and debris.

Towers 1 and 7 were approximately 300 ft. apart…[T]he National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) told PM that debris from the 110-floor North Tower hit WTC7 with the force of a volcanic eruption. Nearly a quarter of the building was carved away over the bottom 10 stories on its south face, and significant damage was visible up to the 18th floor (see p. 24 of this report).

…[K]ey columns supported extreme loads—as much as 2000 sq. ft. of floor area for each floor—as the building straddled an electrical substation. “What our preliminary analysis has shown is that if you take out just one column on one of the lower floors,” NIST lead investigator Shyam Sunder told PM, “it could cause a vertical progression of collapse so that the entire section comes down.” The tower wasn’t hit by a plane, but it was severely wounded by the collapse of the North Tower…

2. The North and South Towers of the World Trade Center weren’t knocked down by planes—they both stood for more than a half-hour after the impacts. But the crashes destroyed support columns and ignited infernos that ultimately weakened—not melted—the steel structures until the towers could no longer support their own weights. Ms. O’Donnell fundamentally misstates the case with her use of the word “melting”: Evidence currently points to WTC7 also collapsing because fires weakened its ravaged steel structure.

[There] were a number of fuel tanks located throughout the building—including two 6000-gal. tanks in the basement that fed some generators in the building by pressurized lines. “Our working hypothesis is that this pressurized line was supplying fuel [to the fire] for a long period of time,” according to Sunder. Steel melts at about 2,750 degrees Fahrenheit—but it loses strength at temperatures as low as 400 F. When temperatures break 1000 degrees F, steel loses nearly 50 percent of its strength…[F]ires in the building raged for seven hours before the collapse.

3. Demolition experts tell PM that wiring a building the size of WTC7 for clandestine demolition would present insurmountable logistical challenges…Trusses on the fifth and seventh floors of the building were designed to transfer loads from one set of columns to another; with the south face heavily damaged, the other columns were likely overtaxed. In engineering terms, the “progressive collapse” began on the eastern side, when weakened columns failed from the damage and fire. The entire building fell in on itself as the slumping east side dragged down the west side in a diagonal pattern…

To summarize: (1) Rosie is an idiot. (2) The steel was weakened, not melted, and the structural integrity of all three collapsed WTC buildings was compromised by this weakening. (3) Falling debris also caused tremendous damage to WTC 7, which also housed fuel tanks that fed the fires. (4) Controlled demolition is the impossibility here. (5) Rosie is an idiot…

I’m seeing now where the audience appears to be getting tired of Rosie’s soap box rants … maybe that’s a good sign.

6. Rosie is an entertainer that needs (craves) publicity. She studied at the altar of Madonna (the singer not the Mother of God). Example: see previous dust-up with Donald Trump.

Rosie doesn`t need publicity. Danny Bonadouche does. Nobody is tired of Rosie. Polls all indicate they are tired of minni mouse Lisbeth and her pathetic opions based on nothing factual. I wish Rosie would lobber her over the head. And Joy can only talk about what goes on in her house. Who cares? Shes a seventies fag hag. I`m Gay, I can spot em. Rosie has tremendous courage. The fact that her career may be shortened doesn`t phase her. She is happy with her knowledge and her life. I give her allot of credit for using her platform to raise issues no one else is willing to talk about. aLL EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING is whining. Especially about Rosie. And the time that is wasted on her instead of the slouchy media and its coverage on the White House and our Troops in Iraq. Why don`t you find something more creative to do. If you don`t want Rosie getting attention, you sure have a twisted way of going about it.

Gay guy with super-duper gaydar. Nice. Sorry, I forgot, it’s okay for gay people to use that word.

Yeah, Rosie is raising issues no one else is willing to talk about, like how the US Government took down WT7, and the British sailors “who apparently went into Iranian waters”, or how “nearly everyone in this Administration is under indictment”. You’re right, its not all about Rosie, its about the little people and SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER! YEAH!

By the way, you’re wrong, I’m tired of Rosie. I gave up on her when she quit doing what she’s good at: stand-up.

Once in time Rosie was OK as a comedian, but now she is a waste of prime time. One big bag of wind that needs to get a new job outside of public view and ear shot.

Courage, courage, courage. Everyone seems to have courage. But what exactly is she risking? Even if Rosie was fired, her career won’t be shortened but extended. She’s even make money out of it by giving speech at $100,000 a pop explaining how she became a martyr. In American, victims (and those who claim to be victims) hold the moral high-ground.

Rosie, is only getting the publicity, and the View the ratings due in large part because American people have become so fed up with the way things are going in this country and their own messed up lives due to one addiction or another, that they tune in to this CRAP! Rosie, thanks to the rights granted to us by our forefathers has the right to express her opinion on any subject she so desires, just as we have the right to agree or disagree with her. Personally I think Barbarbrah Walters need to sever her ties with Rosie at the end of the season.

Why the hell would the government rig WTC 7 to explode? It makes no sense, WTC 1 & 2 going down were bad enough, if Bush and co wanted to use 9/11 as a reason for war, they didn’t need to rig WTC 7 with explosives, nobody who was unmoved about the first two collapses would be moved by the third collpase. It just doesn’t make any sense.

Well, because the aliens from Area 51 were moved to WTC7, and it was imperative that the secrets of Stonehenge not be revealed (by way of the Great Pyramid blueprints). Incidentally, I saw a number of Rosicrucians fleeing the scene…

Rosie is right, and should be commended for her courage. She is true in saying this country is in great danger , greater danger than in the last 200 yrs. You guys need to read through the spinon this report and explore the facts.

no, not the facts as laid out bu Hearsst publishing, synonymous with yelloow journalism and the Spanoi USS Maine in the Spanish american war. Go ahead and research Popular Mechanics and who runs them, who’ the publisher, whos behgind the hit pieves …

I only got time to debunk what was pasted above… the part about thetowers one and two falling apart and causing wtc7 to fall.

By explorinjg this mapop yo will see that there were TWO OTHER STRUCTURES BETWEEN THE twin towers and the wtc7. Kinda puts a whole in that story.. doersnt it…

They get away with it because they know, no one will bother and check….

Wow, I’m convinced. Of course, if this is true, then our government is more clever and insidious than anyone ever thought possible, which raises the question of why such a brave dissident like Rosie O’Donnel is still walking the streets…

Millions of people are aware of it. Rosie just happensd to have access to 30 million viewrs. She will probably lose here job now because she’s making a stand. She told ABC viweres that they were’getting the whole story from MSM. She told them not to lusten to the network she’s on. That is brave. She will be dealt with and the personal attacks will be relentless, they already are… you can call me an idiot, but at least I don’t put blind faith in what I’m told.

Mark.. maybe when it’s cool, you will be able to accept that governemnts are capable of this.. try opening a book or maybe just google operation northwoods, or gulf of tonkin or pearl harbor priop knowledge, reichstag fire, USS maine, USS luibertyy etc…

EDIT that’s “viewers WEREN’T getting the whole story from MSM.”

Yeah, pundits are already calling for her to be executed for treason.? She is spreading hate, and saying hurtful things, so she’s unamerican and loves Alquaeda

“I don’t put blind faith in what I’m told.”

Then how do you explain your defense of farcical conspiracies that anyone who has done the slightest amount of research could debunk?

Rosie gives me a headache; I use to llike her, until she slammed Tom Selleck regarding gun control. She blind-sided him. And KMART (she supported) sold guns. She is a loud mouth with trash mean woman. Bla bla bla….Rosie runs at the mouth and is nasty. EWwwwww…..her “wife”…..what was she thinking?????????????????????
