Forensic Evidence of Foul Play -- Boulder Weekly

Boulder Weekly | NewsandViews | CoverStory: "The planes and the impact
Reynolds acknowledges there are lots of theories surrounding events on 9/11, ranging from mild to wild. One of the more extreme notions circulating among conspiracy theorists is the idea that there were no planes�or at least not the types of planes the government claims were involved.
'That's one hypothesis you have to entertain,' he says with a chuckle. 'There's no wreckage from all four crashes.'
And while some of the theories in circulation might seem extreme or ridiculous, he says he can prove that no Boeing 767 collided with the towers.
'The holes are too small,' he says. 'You can't disappear these things that way.'
In his article, Reynolds writes that the Boeing 767's wingspan was 40 feet larger than the holes made by the impact into the Twin Towers, and the strength of the steel would have been too great even to allow the plane to penetrate the outer wall.
'If you run an aluminum plane into that thing, the plane is just going to get ripped,' he says.
He says the mass of the plane was only three one-hundredths of 1 percent of the mass of the building. The collision would have been like a mosquito running into a mosquito net. Beyond that, he says the plane never would have been able to 'park' inside the building in the way it did. A Boeing 767 would take up three-quarters of the length of the building and would have certainly been stopped by the thick steel core, which took up 28 percent of the floor space in the center of the tower, he says.
'Planes don't fold up like accordions do. They smash. They disintegrate. They break apart. The whole thing is stupid when reason is applied to the evidence,' he says.
Reynolds questions why there has not been an open scientific debate or investigation into these problems with the mainstr"
