it is possible to win the lottery, but it is impossible for a piece of paper to survive a blazing inferno. There is absolutely ZERO chance that the
passport came from that plane.
Really? Then click on these links....
The first one, is a picture of a badly torn piece of paper from the notebook of Ilan Ramon.
The second one, links to a flight deck video of the Space Shuttle Columbia.
Last I checked, I made no mention of pieces of paper being unable to survive a space shuttles failed reentry into the atmosphere.
These items were among the items recovered from the wreckage of Columbia. They survived the fiery hell which consumed Columbia and her crew.
False analogy (1)
The events are not even comparable. There is no fire during a reentry, get your facts straight, there is only ablation.
If you drop a piece of paper from above the earths atmosphere it will make it down to earth without burning 99.9999999999999999% of the time. That
.000000000000000000001 % being when it by chance grazes something HEAVY entering the atmosphere at high speeds; in which case it would only get singed
and would not burn because there is insufficient amounts of oxygen to sustain a fire at those heights.
There are also ablative materials on-board a space shuttle which could have aided in the protection of the piece of paper.
You're more likely to get plasma than you are to get a fire on a failed space shuttle reentry.
Only once the shuttle has descended through the earths atmosphere considerably would there be the possibility of fires. But since most if not all of
the equipment on-board a space shuttle is non-flammable (besides the crew members themselves) it's not very likely.
Since the paper probably only came into contact with very hot air, it's not surprising at all that it didn't burn completely.
And you think the passport that was found in the wreckage of the airliner that hit the WTC is proof of the "inside job"
Straw man (2) I never said that it proved 9-11 was an inside job, I said that there is no way that a passport survived a FIRE that was hot
enough to melt steel.
Pathetic
Ad hominem attack (3)
