9/11 Truth Movement - "Magic over Common Sense."

[Wokeman]

Alexander Cockburn's treatment of the 9/11 truth movement's case against the government is equally poor. Cockburn says, as we saw in the introduction, that this movement's members are devoid of "any conception of evidence" and have accepted "magic over common sense." With those charges in mind, let us look at what Cockburn says about the collapses of the WTC buildings.
Although he admits that the buildings fell rapidly, he says that the collapses did not require "pre-placed explosives." Why not? "High grade steel," Cockburn explains, "can bend disastrously under extreme heat." Cockburn, in other words, believes that fire, by bending the steel on a few floors of these huge buildings, caused them to collapse symmetrically, at virtually free-fall speed, into piles of rubble only a few stories high. If that is not magic, it will do until the real thing comes along."
