Yea, of all the groups to post nonsense about fire not collapsing steel
buildings...

Well, I never actually SAW it happen. I have seen buildings in a pile on
the ground after a fire, but didn't actually SEE them fall. I saw videos of
The World Trade Centers, but I didn't really SEE it in person. To some,
that is enough to negate the remotest possibility of it ever happening.

PS: I didn't SEE The Hindenberg blow up, so that's another one I think may
be a questionable conspiracy.


I watched a burning tank truck full of JP4 burn just outside the
entrance to Carin Airfield in the early '70s. Some idiot ran the stop
sign and hit the tanker. I was about two miles away at the time, and
saw the fireball coming down the hill towards Daleville.

A friend of mine was the base photographer, and he had keys to every
gate. He stopped and waved for me to get in his car, and we took off
the back way. We came out to the blocked entrance just as the fire
trucks arrived, with just water. They had to call the foam unit from
the airfield to keep from spreading the fire.

By the time they arrived and were set up there wasn't much left. They
never found any sign of the tanker driver who died in the fire. The
only thing left was a small part of the rear axle of the truck's cab,
and the rear bell of the tank that had separated and rolled away from
the fire. half the load of fuel ran into a ditch, and several miles
downhill into a creek. It took a long time to put out all the fires
that caused. A lot of asphalt had to be replaced, because all that was
left was the gravel.



BTW, what's BBW Rosie been up to lately? Or down on?


I don't want to know.
