Declassified Papers Hint US Uranium May Have Ended Up In Israeli Arms

Lasrick (2629253) writes "Victor Gilinsky and Roger J. Mattson update their story on the NUMEC affair to take into account the recent release of hundreds of classified documents that shed additional light on the story. In the 1960s, the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation (NUMEC) was found to be missing about a 100 pounds of bomb-grade uranium. Based on available evidence, Gilinsky and Mattson are convinced that the material ended up in Israel nuclear bombs. The newly release documents add more to the story, and Gilinsky and Mattson are calling on President Obama to declassify the remainder of the file."

    Read up a little basic physics and you will see that the top of the building fell faster than it would if it were free falling in a vacuum

    Yes, the secret government conspiracy equipped the building with an alien gravity booster. Only then, it brainwashed a dozen or so of dedicated terrorists who already hated the USA (and wanted to attack it) to hate the USA (and attack it). :-p

    From what I understand, the buildings collapsed the way they did because of the particular way they were built. They had central support columns instead of a traditional exterior steel frame, and the intense heat from the fire caused those central columns to fail.

    Basically, the WTC didn't fall like a normal skyscraper, because it wasn't a normal skyscraper
