The video interview of Judy Wood linked in the other thread was an ambush interview, conducted by physicist Greg Jenkins, whose previous work was funded by the NSA. Jenkins (and Steven Jones) have direct ties to Los Alamos Laboratories where directed-energy weapon research is conducted, and that ambush interview was obviously a poor attempt to discredit Dr Wood and distract people from looking at the data.

very good post, great video
jimmyphelps
agreed i brought forth some other theory by Judy


and It was attacked also they dont like when we

have reputable sources so they attack them wholeheartedly

thsi chik knows her stuff when it comes to engineering

agreed this was an ambush interview like you see on oreilly and such



thanks for posting

Wait, Steven Jones as in the Prof. from BYU? He's a "cover up" guy now?

I don't want to get in to debating her credentials, I'll take it as read that they are genuine.

Looking at her video presentation linked above, I'm perplexed as to why she thinks the rubble from WTC 1 and 2 can't have collapsed into the bathtub? The only "evidence" that she presented for this, was that the bathtub wasn't cracked. The floor of the bathtub was solid bedrock, which would have taken the brunt of the collapse. The bathtub walls were three feet thick reinforced concrete. I don't think she came anywhere near to adequately explaining why the bathtub walls must have been breached.

If I understand her reasoning correctly, it goes something like this.

"If the towers had collapsed into the bathub, the bathtub walls would have cracked. They didn't crack, therefore the towers didn't collapse into the bathtub. So, the rubble pile above the surface should have been several stories high, but it wasn't. The steel and concrete in the building must therefore have been vaporised. It must have been done by an energy weapon in space."

Her whole theory is tenuous to say the least - and it all seems to rest on the bathtub walls not being severely damaged. At no point did she explain why the walls must have been severely damaged.

In general, the video seems full of misdirection and plain untruths. For example, from the 19 minute mark: "I really like this picture, it looks like the building went through a liquidizer. There's no solids you just see it turning to liquid. Now what is trailing behind those solid pieces? The solid pieces that don't hit the ground? Perhaps they're turning to dust on the way down?"

IMO this video, and her "energy weapon" theory, do her profession no favours at all.

You should read her paper. There's a ton more evidence than in that video:

I read much of her website in conjunction with the video. I found it to be riddled with strawmen, poor logic and ill-conceived conclusions. I still think the bulk of her case rests on the bathtub not being intact with a pancake collapse. She never explains why this should be the case. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

In a separate thread (link), you posted:

One of the Most Credible witness to report the molten pools of steel?
One of the Owners Of Controlled Demolition Incorporated
as well as of course NASA sattelite imagery showing extreme temp
for up to 4 weeks AFTER the collapse's


Yet in Dr. Woods' online report (link), she states:

QUOTE(Beam Weapon 4 - Holes)
Figure Thermal (a) shows thermal imaging of WTC on September 16, 2001, and F is the largest hot spot. We understand that the raw data came from NASA and then these images were produced by USGS using the NASA data. How reliable are these data? Assume the data are valid for the sake of argument. Figure Thermal (b ), September 23, 2001, shows no large hot spots anywhere, casting doubt on the stories of long-lived molten metal. So, if the imaging data are reliable, then the hot spots disappeared within two weeks, not 99 days. But there are reasons to suspect that the imaging data are false. A spot like F would seem to be the most likely location to find molten metal, yet this spot coincides with hole 2 as shown in Figure 300 above, where we found no evidence of molten metal. Instead it appears to be a damp basement.

There are other reasons to doubt the stories of "pools of molten metal." First, the stories of molten metal come from interested parties like the head of Tully Construction and Controlled Demolition, Inc. Second, there are no photos of molten metal that we believe are reliable. Third, there are no photos of the solidified molten metal after it cooled either in place or being carried out. There's no evidence of molten metal before, during, or after. Fourth, the molten metal may be a cover story to hide the grim truth. Vehicle dust kicked up on a dirt road does not take six months to settle out. Dust from traditional controlled demolition settles out quickly, even after being jackhammered and pushed around. But the dust at the WTC was so ultra-fine that hosing it down would have been a wise thing to do. It is quite possible that GZ workers were not hosing down molten metal but were hosing down ultra-fine dust and the fumes of molecular dissociation. (See this figure.)



Similarly, in the same thread mentioned above, you posted:

QUOTE(jimmyphelps @ Mar 12 2007, 10:57 AM) [snapback]1579056[/snapback]
Im not a Demolition expert so i dont have adefenitive answer to your question.
The obvius thing that i feel you sidestep is that It would have required detonations
throughout the structure to allow it to collapse in the manner it did
as i stated I feel it was a combination of rudimentary explosives and Thermite
or possibly thermate as some suggest

being that the explosions we are discussing would be at the very core of the building it would appear to be rather obvious that the main support columns would have to be shaered to facilitate the type of collpase we witnessed..lets also not forget that in 1993 the attcaks ocurred in the same area the basement and parking levels in an attempt to disrupt the main structure


Yet again, Dr. Woods disagrees (link):

QUOTE
In fact, the data refute theories a to e–natural, arson, official, conventional and thermite demolition–in particular the intact bathtub, minimal seismic impact, and "dustification" prove nothing close to 1 million tons of material slammed down on the WTC foundation and its sub-basements. The debris stacks left where the Twin Towers once stood hardly covered the ground. The rescue dogs and workers did not climb up a tall pile but had to repel down to search for survivors. The arson and thermite theories fail to explain every data point, but all the unburned paper in particular refute any high-temperature based hypothesis.


So, jimmyphelps, you seem to have a bit of a dilemma here. If Dr. Woods is indeed a reputable source and an engineering expert in these matters, then the thermite/demolition hypothesis is incorrect and you must withdraw your support of it. If you continue to believe the thermite/controlled demolition hypothesis is valid, that then implies that Dr. Woods has made some gross errors in her work which raise serious questions about her expertise in these areas.

Please note that I'm not attacking any theory or any person here. I'm merely pointing out that you're currently showing support for two opposing viewpoints and asking you to choose a side. In your view, which is the correct theory?

All this means is that me and Judy see things differently thats all

Sorry, but this is not some trivial difference in viewpoints which you can handwave away. The very person whom you just defended as a “reputable source” and as someone who “knows her stuff when it comes to engineering” vigorously disagrees with the hypothesis you’ve been advocating in other threads.

Take a look at her recent online paper:

The Scientific Method Applied to the Thermite Hypothesis

How do you reconcile this disagreement? If you consider Dr. Wood to be an engineering expert on these matters, shouldn’t her position cast serious doubt on your thermite hypothesis?

so what she disagrees with me?

Vigorusly or not what difference really does it make?

She, as well as you, and I, are all entitled to our opinions

thats a beautiful thing isnt it? yes she does know her **SNIP**

shes a real engineer. There is NO NEED for me to reconcile

anything....I guess based on that id have to reconcile alot of things eh

as i dont agree with much of whats out there.....i dont agree with her

energy weapon theory at all so we are "even" so to speak
