Attachments : Molten Metal – Straight questions, no answers MIT is the number one non-profit Department of Defense contractor in the nation, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education (4/13/88). In 1987, MIT pulled in $407.6 million in DOD contracts. Could this dependency on DOD funding be the reason why MITs Prof. Thomas Eagar continues to uphold the party line on 9/11? The following is a recent letter by American Free Press reporter Christopher Bolyn to Prof. Eagar asking him why he is avoiding addressing the FACTS (see photo below)…
Date: April 21, 2006 Provo, Utah To: Thomas W. Eagar tweagar@MIT.EDU Department of Materials Science and Engineering Massachusetts Institute of Technology From: Christopher Bollyn, American Free Press Re: Professor Steven E. Jones Paper on Molten Metal at World Trade Center “Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Collapse?” www.physics.byu.edu/… Dear Professor Eagar, I was quite shocked when you refused to read the scientific paper by Professor Steven E. Jones of BYU dealing with the unanswered questions about the large amounts of molten metal that were seen cascading from the 81st floor of South Tower of the World Trade Center immediately before it began to collapse. I was equally amazed when you said that there was no evidence of molten metal flowing from the 81st floor of the South Tower prior to the collapse and that this is some sort of hearsay. And I was most disappointed when you suddenly hung up the phone on me. Why are you unwilling to discuss the evidence of molten metal at the World Trade Center – before and after the “collapses?” It certainly appears that you were unable to answer my questions and decided to run away. What do you call these attached photos showing molten metal cascading from the South Tower? Fakes? (Note that Prof. Jones proves that this is not aluminum as some of the reports suggest. Molten aluminum is silver-gray in daylight.) Why do you refuse to review the paper by Prof. Steven E. Jones of Brigham Young University about the molten metal found at the World Trade Center, before and after the collapses? Professor Jones’ webpage is here: www.physics.byu.edu/… His paper on the molten metal is here: www.physics.byu.edu/… His research is the natural scientific investigation and follow-up of the unanswered questions, which are raised by the evidence and presented in the FEMA and NIST studies, serious scientific problems which these agencies clearly said required further study. What kind of scientist are you anyway? Rather than running from the research of Professor Jones, you should welcome and embrace such efforts to answer the questions of 9-11. As Jones says, “The data stands on its own.” What is this seriously-flawed “official version” of 9-11, which you seem to support, a religious myth that cannot be challenged? Signed, Christopher Bollyn American Free Press Washington, D.C. Photo: This photo from the NE corner of the South Tower shows a cascade of molten metal flowing from the 80th or 81st floor immediately prior to the collapse of the building. Professor Eagar has written about the fires at the World Trade Center, (see – www.tms.org/pubs/jou…) in which he states: “However, it is highly unlikely that the steel at the WTC experienced temperatures above the 750800°C range. All reports that the steel melted at 1,500°C are using imprecise terminology at best. “Some reports,” Eagar wrote, “suggest that the aluminum from the aircraft ignited, creating very high temperatures. While it is possible to ignite aluminum under special conditions, such conditions are not commonly attained in a hydrocarbon-based diffuse flame. In addition, the flame would be white hot, like a giant sparkler. There was no evidence of such aluminum ignition, which would have been visible even through the dense soot.” Well, Mr. Eagar, what are we seeing here?…
