1/3 + of Americans is no longer a fringe group. look at how that building fell (that is the one that was NOT hit by a plane):
Danr, your problem and weakness is that you can't think independently of one of your precious "links," and anything with a link has immediate credibility with you, regardless of the source [as long as the source isn't in any way mainstream]. Without the internet, I presume you would just sit quietly in one place and just gradually rot.
Either it takes 1000+ people or not. I have read about this subject and I never ran into that 1000+ people figure, therefore I would like to know where you got it. If it is legit I may readjust my thinking.
Danr comes up with this mindless junk just to get us talking. I think it helps to empower him in some way. The fact that he knows that it took 15 seconds out of my life to type this post gives him a tingle in his nether regions, I'm certain...
look how it fell. never in the history of the world has a building just fallen, it just does not happen. Google WTC7 and get the story.
Danr, Polls of the mostly ignorant means abslolutely nothing, most of them also believe in men from mars and use their hard earned money on lottery tickets. You said something about how the World Trade Center Buildings fell. This as been evaluated by the engineers who designed the buildings and they fell as would be expected with the special type of construction used. If they had flown into the Empire State Building, it would still be standing. I would like to ask one question to the learned viewers that is off subject. A quick responce would suffice. Is there any general overall difference between old PCGS slabs and new PCGS slabs? I have an eye on a coin at the FUN show and it is in an older PCGS slab but the coin looks good to me over the internet.
Kiwi thanks for the response but I am being more specific, in relation to re-sale value. Did PCGS grade better back then or better now? I am almost half blind. To be more precise, there is a 1934-S S$1 PCGS MS65 that is way over priced to meet the opening bid. Almost double, but if it was a NGC it would have a star next to the date.
Now I know why I never read this forum, besides being locked out: How the heck do we get from 9/11 to PCGS slabs?
Kiwi thanks for the response but I am being more specific, in relation to re-sale value. Did PCGS grade better back then or better now? I am almost half blind. In response to Danr, never in history had a building been built like the World Trade Centers. I used to work with big heavy machines. They changed from an internal skeleton to an external skeleton. Also called skin construction. The militants studied their books real good.
It's an estimate. Feel free to adjust it. But you need people to set explosive charges on several hundred floors of various skyscrapers, people to obtain and move the explosives to the sites, people to detonate them on cue, people in operations, maintenance, loading dock, and security in the buildings to look the other way and keep their mouth shut while the charges are set in their work areas, a lot of NYC police at the site of the alleged "control room" who lost friends and relatives and didn't care enough to say anything, people at all different levels at various air bases to order a stand-down, people in a variety of national security and defense agencies to prevent their action to disrupt the plan or investigate it afterward, investigators at the sites after the attacks to agree not to attempt to discover the true cause of the collapse or reveal their on site observations, people at the Pentagon to destroy film of the "missle" that hit the building, people manning radar installations to keep their mouth shut about what appeared on their screens during the various attacks and shoot-downs, people at the airlines to keep their mouth shut about the loss of the planes, and to lie about passenger lists, and people at the top to plan, approve, coordinate and carry out the attacks and coverups. Now this is a substantial number of loyal traitors. Put any number on it that you wish. It's unlikely that something like this can be accomplished without a single leak, confession out of guilt, or warning ahead of time to the media that something was planned. The simple explanation is that the terrorists did exactly what they were reported to have done. But if it's easier and more fun for you to believe in a national conspiracy, have fun with your imaginary game, but don't pretend you are providing any useful analysis.
Only a village idiot would believe that calliing emergency services (911) is somehow and "inside job".
Well now Treasshunt, that is not half as hard to believe as some of the stuff that Danr is peddeling around there, now is it? Actually the discussion on slabs makes a whole lot more sense when you stop and think about it.
