MSNBC - Breaking news - Capitol being evacuated.

4. Watching CSPAN 1
Senate Judiciary Committee hearing ending now. No rush to the exits, though.

So now a power outage is "Breaking News"?

8. Maybe just have the GOP members evacuate the Capitol and
then load them up onto a barge and send their sorry, lying asses down the Potomac River.

"Headlines we'd like to see, etc."

9. We just had a fire drill at my state office building
It wasn't planned, the alarms went haywire. The court had one last week. Maybe that's what's going on in Washington.

19. Maybe "stuff" being planted during power down & evacuation opportunity
Edited on Mon Apr-03-06 11:34 AM by tiptoe
...as surmised what may have occurred at the WTC (...where "stuff" == demolition charges).

Jeff King, MIT Engineeer, Research Scientist
"When I first saw the collapses, I was absolutely convinced they were not spontanteous...there were squibs, which represent little puffs of smokes essentially coming out of the buildings initially...which were clearly a sign of controlled demolition...'without a doubt'...
--snip--
The obvious question: What does it mean that there was controlled demolition?...At the simplest level someone had a lot of access to the buidings over a long enough period of time to set this up ...It implies that the people who had effective control of site had an interest in having it scrubbed and making sure no information was available...that a foresnic reconstruction couldn't be done
--snip--
On the weekend before <911> there were "power downs" and there appear to have been evacuation drills going on throughout the previous week, which suggests that at least some people knew that something was happening. The power downs may represent the time window in which demolition charges would have been planted, although I think it's possible that they also were planted over a much longer period of time, given the relative accessibility of the buildings.(Source, emphasis added)

Former Marine Corps Officer
Author or editor of more than 20 books
  • "...Most of the debris was removed by an extremely efficient company by the name of Controlled Demolition..."
  • "...Tremendous explosion in the sub-basement...recorded by a seismograph about 8 or 9 seconds before the planes impacted the buildings..."
  • "...started cleaning up the site almost immediately..."
  • Larry Silverstein: "The smartest thing to do is "Pull it" <WTC7...'Pulling' in construction means take it down by controlled demolition.>
  • "In order to pull the building, there had to be pre-positioned explosives..."
  • "...The building could not have been pulled unless there had been Pre-Positioned Explosives, which raises the very appropriate question: Does that mean there could have been pre-positioned explosives in the WTC?
  • "Well, there had been a lot of reports on oddities involving security in the weeks leading up to 9/11. The agency responsible for its security is a company named Securacom. A director of the agency which not only was responsible for security at the WTC but also at Dulles Airport and United Airlines was none other than Marvin Bush, the President's brother."
  • "It's pretty clear this was an inside job."
