Jesse Ventura - turned 'troofer'

| 1 Comment
When people deny the truth about the Islamic attack on the World Trade Center, they are branded with the term 'troofer'. Unfortunately, former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura has joined the ranks of the 'troofers'. From California Newswire:
On The Alex Jones Show, Former Governor Jesse Ventura Says WTC Collapse a Controlled Demolition
According to an appearance on the Alex Jones Show, former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura blasted the official 9/11 story - citing that evidence disproves the government�s claims that jet fuel melted the Twin Towers� steel girders. �How could those buildings fall at the speed of gravity - if you put a stopwatch on them both of those World Trade Center buildings were on the ground in ten seconds - how can that be?� asked Ventura. �Never before in the annals of history has a fire caused a steel structure building to fall to the ground like these two did.�

Ventura said he was convinced the collapses of the towers and WTC Building 7 were too similar to the controlled demolition of Las Vegas hotels. Ventura has experience with explosives from Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL training and believes unequivocally the buildings were deliberately imploded.
Well crap Jesse -- I used to have a lot of respect for you. You were a good Governor. I heard you speak once in Seattle and liked your presentation. As a point of fact; there are two groups of people who you will never ever hear subscribing to the 'troofer' (inside job) school of thought. These are blacksmiths and structural engineers. The steel used in the construction of the World Trade Center did not have to melt -- the 'troofers' big claim is that the combustion of the jet fuel was not hot enough to melt the steel so therefore it was a controlled demolition. Steel starts to loose a lot of its strength after being heated to a few hundred degrees. When it hits about 400 Fahrenheit, serious annealing starts to take place and a lot of the strength is lost. The fire started about 30 floors down from the top. Once temperatures got to around 400F or so, the framework for those floors buckled, the upper 30 stories fell down and pancaked the remaining building. And you know, if I came to work for a place, say, on 9/10 and saw a fifty or sixty workers running wires everywhere and not talking about what they were doing, I would be inclined to take the next couple of days off. Sorry Jesse -- I once respected you...
