Mysterious fly-path of a steel beam?

Some of the proposed theories of this site seem a bit farfetched, but a lot of their efforts are worthwhile reading!

9-11 The ,,Truss Theory" for the Collapse of the Twin Towers Refuted.
9-11 Science Report, Appendix H.
This site from dr. Stefan Grossmann has a lot of effort put into scientific based arguments against the "official" 9/11 theories.

""3. The floors were blocked from falling from top to bottom because at certain floors, massive steel-frame construction interrupted the twin towers' "tube and truss" construction. An anonymous engineer using the web name "Nerdcities" provides the following information as to this point:
It turns out that 18 floors have heavy steel beams instead of trusses. Consider the following quote from Engineering News-Record, January 1, 1970.
On the 41st and 42nd floors, both towers will house mechanical equipment. To accommodate the heavy loads, the floors are designed as structural steel frame slabs. All other floors from the ninth to the top (except for 75 and 76, which will also carry mechanical equipment) have typical truss floor joists and steel decking.
Typical office floors have 4-in. thick slabs of composite construction using top chord knuckles of the joists (trusses), which extend into the slab, as shear connectors. On mechanical floors, composite action is provided by welded stud shear connectors.
So the first 8 + 6 = 14 stories, and the 41st, 42nd, 75th and 76th floors, used solid steel beams in place of trusses. Also, the top stories had special steel reinforcing diagonals called outrigger trusses.
South tower was hit around the 80th and 81st floor, north tower around the 92nd floor. Floors pancakeing from the points of impact were blocked by a massive steel cage of I-beams at the 75th and 76th floor. There is no explanation why the alleged pancakeing would have broken through the steel cage barriers at the 75th and 76th floors and at the 41st and 42nd floors with the uniform collapse speed, i.e. nearly the speed of free fall.""

Government's stockpile of childhood vaccines almost empty!

From the page: ""Just three years after the biggest shortage of childhood vaccines in 20 years, the federal government's stockpile of childhood vaccines, intended as a buffer against shortages, is nearly empty and without immediate prospects of being filled.

Three of the four companies that produce the shots recommended for every American child told the federal government last year that they would not sell their products for the stockpile. Although opinions differ, it appears that the Pediatric Vaccine Stockpile has become a bystander wounded in the government's crackdown on deceptive accounting.

No one has accused the manufacturers of wrongdoing. However, they may no longer treat as revenue the money they get when they sell millions of doses of vaccine into the stockpile because the shots are not delivered until the government calls for them during emergencies. Instead, the vials are held in the manufacturers' warehouses, where they are officially considered unsold in the eyes of auditors, investors and Wall Street.

The stockpile has 13.2 million doses, less than one-third of the goal of 41 million doses. It is supposed to hold supplies of eight shots that together protect against 11 diseases. However, for two of those products - including DTaP, which protects against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis - it contains no doses.""

To me it seems America is governed by a bunch of neo-maffioso, instead of caring individuals.
It's a shame to any real american.

More on the pandemic deadly flu virus send out to over 5000 labs all over the world, including Saudi Arabia, Israel, Lebanon and China (Hong Kong).

From the page: Stohr said that the company that sent out the virus samples - Meridian Bioscience Inc. of Newtown, Ohio - abided by U.S. regulations.
However, Dr. Jared Schwartz, an official with the College of American Pathologists said that Meridien didn't know that it had sent out a pandemic virus - it thought that it was an ordinary flu virus.""

Corporate screw-up at it's most blunt exposure.
We really have to trust these kind of scientists?

It seems to me that sheriff Harris himself or one of his lab assistants did a quick HazMatID test on the vial's content, and came to a substantially wrong conclusion !
Remember, the FBI showed no INTEREST at all to pick up samples.
I would be extremely carefull when I had to cast my next vote for a US election...

When you read this PDF file, you will understand that any mixture of a detergent or surfactant with water and unknown organic substances will provide a high match with Gluconic Acid and Astromid-18. But it will NOT contain all or any of these substances!
You will have to perform a much better analysis of the unknown substance, to find out what it really contains. I would love to hear that sheriff Harris still has some samples left, and some biochemist should scrutinize it under a very good microscope to check on dead or alive virusses or bacteriae.

From the pdf-page:
""Going by our above discussion of mixture samples, it follows that any sample consisting of organic chemicals mixed with water can produce matches with Astromid-18 and Gluconic Acid. Examples include alcoholic beverages, cleaning solutions, and contaminated water. Figure 2 illustrates such an analysis, in which a liquid detergent (basically a
surfactant and water) was analyzed on a HazMatID. The top two matches were Gluconic Acid and Astomid-18, and each had relatively high similarity values ( 0.90) because all of these substances contain water and some organic material.
However, the expanded view of all three spectra indicates that neither Gluconic Acid nor Astromid-18 is truly a good match for the liquid detergent, since each substance has unique peaks and none of the spectra overlap very well.
One would conclude from this analysis that the sample (assuming it was an "unknown") is a water-based substance containing some other organic material, but it is not consistent with Gluconic Acid, Astromid-18, or any of the library spectra available for the analysis.
It cannot be understated that the TravelIR HCI and the HazMatID do not identify substances - the user does. These instruments simply provide valuable information that facilitates the process. Consequently, they should always be used in conjunction with other instruments and meters to obtain a full understanding of the sample identity and potential hazards.
