Recently, Rosie O’Donnell, a co-host on ABC’s talk show The View, made comments on the show that renewed controversy over the collapse of World Trade Center 7.
While saying she didn’t know what to believe about the U.S. government’s involvement in the attacks of Sept. 11, she said, “I do believe that it’s the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel. I do believe that it defies physics that World Trade Center tower 7 — building 7, which collapsed in on itself — it is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved. World Trade Center 7. World Trade [Center] 1 and 2 got hit by planes — 7, miraculously, the first time in history, steel was melted by fire. It is physically impossible.”
She continued: “To say that we don’t know that it imploded, that it was an implosion and a demolition, is beyond ignorant. Look at the films, get a physics expert here [on the show] from Yale, from Harvard, pick the school — [the collapse] defies reason.”
Here’s the clip:
For those interested in what real physics and demolition experts have said regarding WTC 7’s collapse, as detailed in their book Debunking 9/11 Myths, Popular Mechanics offers this series of notes. Give it a read. Then tell me, pul-eeese, why anyone pays attention to anything Rosie O’Donnell has to say.
