Explain 9/11 and win a Superhawk and Gold!

Ok, for the NON-conspiracy theorist that thinks they can convince a conspiracy theorist that the buildings collapsed because planes crashed into them, you have the opportunity to win some crap.

http://superhawkcontest.blogspot.com/

1968 Superhawk Contest

I will give my 1968 305 Honda CB77 Superhawk, a listed amount of gold and silver, and Nine Hundred and Eleven U.S. Dollars to the first person who can explain how the Twin Towers and World Trade Center Building 7 "collapsed" in a manner which fits the official story and DOES NOT DEFY THE LAWS OF PHYSICS; this must explain the near free-fall collapses, the molten metal beneath all three buildings, the pulverized steel-reinforced concrete, and the twisted girders.

Send responses to SuperhawkContest@live.com

All possible legit answers will be replied to as to why or why they are not correct. Legit answers will be reviewed by at least three engineers.

Pertinent responses will be posted at SuperhawkContest.blogspot.com

I will pay to ship the Superhawk and metal to the winner anywhere in the world. I am located in Portland, Oregon.

The Superhawk runs as nice as it looks.

Contest good from July 4th, 2009 to September 11th, 2009 midnight Pacific Time

Good Luck, People.

I'd LIKE to participate, but on further reading (ie: past the thread title), it turns out you have to be smart to collect the loot (not just a smart-arse, on which grounds I'd stand a good chance).

I don't like rigged contests.

The implication here is that the commonly available explanation is unsatisfactory to the level where he claims it defies the laws of physics.

I traveled to NYC in the January following 9/11, and while I enjoy a conspiracy theory as much as the next guy these 9/11 truth people really get on my nerves.

my sentiments exactly. Like trying to convince George W. that Iraq is not the enemy. All the stats/logic/proof in the world will not stack up for that kind of subjective dogmatism.

9/11 never did happen. Neither did any military action in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Goose, I am so introducing you to my ex husband tonight at the exhibit reception and I'll leave the two of you to hash things out. His b-day is Sept 11 and he's totally into the 9/11 truth stuff, a lot of which I find totally wingadingin. However, he's really smart and can argue and pontificate about as well as you. This could be fun.

Those guys can never be convinced by reason, fact or logic. I watched the One Meridien Plaza skyscraper burn in 1991 when I was going to school nearby - see:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Meridian_Plaza

That fire's heat caused multiple floors to sag as much as six feet, and it was gradually started by spontaneous combustion of linseed oil in cleaning rags, not by 500+ mph impacts of gazillion pound jumbo jets loaded with tens of thousands of gallons of jet fuel - and this building was of a more sturdy type of construction than the WTC, and only rose 38 stories!

Both firefighters and the city thought the building might well collapse. In the end it was so badly damaged that it was torn down rather than repaired and the insurer paid out $300,000,000.

My dad's offices were in the damaged tower next door, and I got a good look at the sagged floors through the broken windows as we packed dad's office out in the aftermath since his building was being closed as well due to damage from next door.

Oh...in that case then, maybe it did happen.

I actually witnessed the Pentagon burning while walking home from DC on 9/11. Not a fun memory.

Typing slow won't help the way talking slow helps when I have spoken to hard-on lefties in Vermont about this subject. Every explosive capable of doing such things has a known profile using HPLC analysis, and you'd need a shit-load of it if you follow the "controlled demolition" theories. These profiles are verified by the DoD, indeed our own government has assisted in the development of methodologies to extract and quantify content of residue and actual material. If a lab can label and quantify residue from WWII practice shells in beach sand, they sure as hell could do the same for the explosives "used" according to the truthers.

Give two independent DoD qualified labs site material and soil from the sites with legally defensible chains of custody. Drill a hole in the side of some nearby building basements and extract soil for profiling comparison. Analyze. Repeat 3X. Report. Tell the truthers to shut up, because so many people's careers and good names would be on the line, being on the hook in the reports, it would be impossible to keep everyone quiet if there was a cover-up.

There was lots of testing for air quality and material disposal during and after the remediation. VOCs, heavy metals, and other immediate threats to the health of the workers and locals were monitored. To my extremely limited knowledge, I have not heard of any analysis for explosive residue.

Now if my limited capacity can come up with a simplistic plan, why can't some folks with bigger brains and more knowledge of variables get a plan together to close some loopholes?
