Entry: A Gratifying Response Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/a_gratifying_response#89 Post contents: Ah, a true disbeliever. I forgot which book Chesterton covered this, but he mentions the psychotic is certain and has explanations for everything. If he thinks he is in a tropical clime, he will claim his hospital room is in some kind of refrigerated green-house with projectors. He is right, so he must adapt the world to his imagination with more imagination. So a very hot diesel fueled fire which has been and would be enough to collapse a building can't possibly be the cause. And buildings are and have been designed to collapse - pancake - as part of building codes because it was expected they eventually would be replaced. It would require a great deal of structural engineering knowledge and explosives to make a building do anything BUT pancake, specifically fall over like a domino. The shear force at an angle where it is falling will cause the internal supports to break. Buildings aren't designed to cantilever. And when Popular Mechanics, the NIST, and Counterpunch all agree, oh, yea, it must be a conspiracy of millions of people. If you want a sad but entertaining example, theamericanview.com, shows 74-78 go through it with each of the regular hosts on a different side. Sometimes disasters evolve, every event need not be an intelligent design. Sent at: 2008 07 06
