911 Revisited • Were Explosives Used
I learnt from Nallini, a schoolgirl physics buff, that ‘Free-fall’ is a term applied to a falling object influenced by the earth’s gravity and that gravity, in absence of upward resistance, produces a downward acceleration of 32 feet per second and thereafter the object accelerates downwards by 32 feet every subsequent second until it hits ground.She simplified that an object free-falls at 32 feet per second in the 1st second, 64 feet per second in the 2nd second, 96 feet per second in the 3rd second, 118 feet per second in the 4th second, and so on.The schoolgirl physics buff said that the basic physics equation for Free-fall Speed or Time is [2 x Distance (Height) ÷ Gravity x Time²].Due to the character limit, the article is continued here :- http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xncw4e_911-in-plane-site_shortfilmsWords – Tommy Peters(Advanced appreciation is rendered for materials used without express permission of copyright owners)http://tommypetersbicycles.blogspot.com/
The Nuremberg Trials • ©2006 WGBH Educational Foundation
On November 20, 1945, twenty-two surviving representatives of the Nazi elite stood before an international military tribunal at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany, and charged with the systematic murder of millions of people.The ensuing trial pitted U.S. chief prosecutor and Supreme Court judge Robert Jackson against Hermann Göring, the former head of the Nazi air force, whom Adolf Hitler had once named to be his successor. Jackson hoped that the trial would make a statement that crimes against humanity would never again go unpunished. Proving the guilt of the defendants, however, was more difficult than Jackson anticipated.http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/nuremberg/(Re-posted from PBS and used without permission – Tommy Peters)
