[QUOTE=Monty] **Frank** , now you have me curious. Why? [/QUOTE] Have you _been_ to any other boards? It’s bad enough when they’re _not_ discussing crackpot WTC theories. Notice how many of those links in the OP were pictures: imagine all of those links as pictures in the post itself. Eyes… Burning… ---

[QUOTE=CB\_Brooklyn] My post is not spam. I posted it because there were already debates about 9/11 in here. I spent a lot of time creating the OP and have posted it to over 20 forums. (google my username for a post with the images.) My reason in doing this is to let people know that the information exists. The weapon _might_ have been spaced based, but not necessarily. See here for much more info: Evidence for Existence of Directed Energy Weapons > **[911researchers.com](http://www.911researchers.com/node/25)** Peace Out, Ya’ll!The 9/11 StarWars ExoW CoverUp: Why NASA and NGA was part of the Perp System (See the main post and the comments) > **[911researchers.com](http://www.911researchers.com/node/403)** Directed Energy Weapon Sponsors and Department of Defense Contractors [http://janedoe0911.tripod.com/DEW\_Contractors.html](http://janedoe0911.tripod.com/DEW_Contractors.html) [/QUOTE] So did we imagine watching the second jet crash into the building live? Is my Aunt who saw it happen live part of the conspiracy? You do know thousands of people witnessed the attacks? Were the jets just a diversion? Does that really make any sense to you?

[QUOTE=Apos] I’m actually sort of interested what the theory is here. As best as I can make out, the OP seems to be implying that the building rubble mysteriously vanished. So in addition to blowing up the other WTC buildings with controlled demolitions, the government also, just because it could, disappeared the rubble? It made the computers, desks, and doors vanish, as if by magic? Why? [/QUOTE] Why do you say “government,” when we all know there’s at least one super-villain on this board alone? ---

Occam’s Razor seems to be the most popular way of dealing with this “theory”. I’m down with that. I’ve never even heard of the space beam theory before. But yeah, Judy Wood does behave like a typical vested conspiracy theorist – she knows in her heart of hearts that her theory is discredited, but is unable to admit it for personal reasons (ego, shame, whatever) and is thus unable to directly answer questions that she knows destroy her argument. ---

One question I have…I saw a show on (I think) Discovery channel showing a ship (a BIG ship) made from some of the steel salvage from the WTC. My question is…if the WTC was ‘Pulverized’, then how was this ship made out of the salvaged steel? Or is that part of the shell game the government is doing? They ‘pulverized’ the WTC, then shipped in a bunch of steel and other debris, then built a ship out of it (among other things) as part of diverting the public from this high energy weapon…? 😛 BTW, as someone noted above, I don’t think the OP is with us anymore…just a drive by… -XT ---

[QUOTE=xtisme] if the WTC was ‘Pulverized’, then how was this ship made out of the salvaged steel? [/QUOTE] [Sintered steel](http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6783568.html): Obviously they gathered up the ferromagnetic dust with large electromagnets, poured it into a ship-shaped mold, and baked at 350°C for four hours.
