I saw a highly acclaimed french movie called "The Green Flash" with an old girl friend who said we just had to see it. I still can't figure out what it was about.

@StevoBevo:
Your "nice round hole" is in the "C" ring, that's the third one in and was made by one of the engines. The wings snapped back against the fuselage. Plenty of debris.
Be careful...VERY GRAFIC

Let me see if I got the conspiracy right:
George W. Bush, Dick Chaney and Donald Rumsfeld planned the events to get a reason to invade Iraq.
They had volunteers fly an airliner into the second tower but not the first (beacuse there are no pictures of the first impact).
They then had the building imploded so they would fall real pretty for the television.
Then the pulled down WTC7 because...........well I can't think of a reason for that.
Then they fired a missle into the pentagon so the military would be really pissed of and go rushing off to .... whereever.
No plane crashed in Pennsylvania because no bodies were shown on T.V.
The Israelis were in on the whole plot so they could get their citizens out but leave other Jews there.
And while this elaborate plan was playing out, the "quarterback" of the whole operation didn't care to see it on T.V. so he was in a school reading to children.
Is that about it??

And who works at the register behind the counter in most convenience stores where they sell cigs? High School kids, going to the same high schools as the kids who want the cigs. "Sell me some cigs or I'll kick your a** tomorrow."

As you stated before, it was softened enough to give way and fell into the hold.

I am qualified to inspect ships, that's why the Coast Guard called me in. The fire started in an on deck container, the cause is believed to have been batteries that were in the container. The heat from that fire ingited flammable liquids stored in a deck house forward of the container. The flammable liquids included cleaning materials, thinners and deisel fuel. The bulkhead of this space was melted and pooled on the deck outside the space. The hatch cover that the container was sitting on melted (but not to liquid state) and fell into the hatch. The side plates buckled outward. All of these were 3/4 inch mild steel. The ship was owned by Lykes Bros. and the shipyard where I did the inspection was Mitsui, Tamano. The year was around 1980.

@neogreenjapan:
Steel does not melt that it becomes liquid from jet fuel fire. It is impossible. I can buy buy that steel could get softer but not to the point that the steel gets so hot that it becomes liquid like lava which was filmed by the fire department and others who cleaned up WTC7.
That is so wrong. I, personally, myself, with my own eyes, inspected a ship after a fire and 3/4 inch mild steel bulkheads were melted and puddled on the deck.

@neogreenjapan:
Bin Laden was not in a cave on 9/11, he was running terrorist training camps in Afghanistan and flying his falcons. He wasn't pushed into a cave until the Taliban was overthrown.
Buildings collapse beacuse of fires all the time.
There was molten steel at WTC7 beacuse steel melted in the fire.

There are so many people, on both sides, who want peace talks to fail they will do anything to sabotage the efforts. If it's not Palestinians shooting Israelis or lobbing rockets into Israel, it's Israelis building new settlements in Palestinian territory. It will never end.

Where were the parents of these kinds when all of these things took place
Well, it was 2:45 A.M. sooooooo, just guessing here.......but I would say there's a good chance they were home, in bed, asleep. Kids sneak out at night all the time, I did it, my friends did it, my sister did it.

Being bilingual is certainly a good thing but parents should be sure that their child is proficient in at least one of them. I know some kids and young adults who are completely bilingual but can't carry out a boardroom or managerial level conversation or meeting in either language. This i really going to affect thier upward mobility in the corporate world.

Nope. But for the the most protected building in the US, there has to be cameras all over that buiding pointed in all directions.....hmmmmm
Yep and two of them caught shot of the impact. These are security cameras that produce a series of stills and not high speeed video cameras.
