May 9, 2012 - Gee, I dunno, how on Earth could the fragile human body be crushed into carbonized dust JUST by a piddling little 1500 degree fire and 500,000 tons of grinding, smashing steel and concrete?Cite your sources on the unburied remains being put on display in a museum, please. I can only find a BBC article on 20,000 remains being recovered since 2002, but nothing about them being placed on display of any kind.I think you're full of shit and a liar. Prove me wrong, please.

May 9, 2012 - @Halo4Lyf it's not hard friend to prove you wrong , the hard thing would be for you too accept the TRUTH , are you ready too take that step ? Fact - kerosen ( jet fuel ) can not burn as hot as 1500 deg - that's a scientific FACT - so ur dead wrong on that for a start !! Cont....
JudaismIslamUnited1 Says:
May 9, 2012 - @Halo4Lyf - why don't u do a little more research ? The body parts all 20,000 of them are being kept behind memorial wall , which is inside the museum !! Now tell me how could the collapse throw human bones so far that they are only discovered years later ontop of nearby buildings ? Gravity can't explosives can ! Ae911truth(dot)org @Halo4Lyf

May 10, 2012 - @ HALO4LYF : " Hence why I feel this war will necessarily become one of extermination at some point in the relatively near future."SPOKE LIKE A TRUE BRAINWASHED NAZI THUG!FRONT LINES IN AFGHNISTAN WHY DONT YOU JOIN UP!SILLY LITTLE SHITE!
Halo4Lyf Says:
May 10, 2012 - I am, possibly as soon as this August, although I may wait a year or so to finish my degree. I'm still rebuilding my body after a three year bout with catastrophic UC. Chemotherapy and abdominal surgery kind of knocks the wind out of you.I plan to take scalps, if the Corps let me. Shall I ship them to your doorstep?
JudaismIslamUnited1 Says:
May 11, 2012 - @Halo4Lyf - yes I am aware the standards of the corps are very low , I undertand that simple intelgince will get u in , any how let's prove our idiocy brainwashes mentality shall we ! Give me ONE single example in world history were a building collapse has vaporized the human body ? America has been In almost perpetual war since it was created !
JudaismIslamUnited1 Says:
May 11, 2012 - @Halo4Lyf only explosives can rip a single human body into 200 little bits , like what was done in 911 , GRAVITY OR falling debris can NOT will NIT do that , it's simple physics ! Sounds like your seriously brainwashed PAL , go and take a long hard look into the mirror !

May 13, 2012 - "Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." * David Rockefeller Infamous Quote from pg 405 of his Memoirs!

May 13, 2012 - WTF?! Who gives a SHIT what that guy said?! This video is about the individual citizens who helped other citizens of New York who where attacked by Islamists on September 11, 2001. Fuck U & your bullshit. Why don't you save your bad-mouthing for the pieces of shit who killed 3,000 Americans?! Oh right, you are a peon Muslim living in the UK & 23 yrs old. You don't know zilch about what happened in NYC, other than what you hear in your infected mosques.

May 19, 2012 - "The great Boat Lift of 9/11 became the largest sea evacuation in history...larger than the evacuation of Dunkirk in World War II...over 500,000 people rescued in 9 hours." That fact alone shows the true spirit that is part of America, and what we will do to help each other, despite the horror we endured at the hands of terrorists who tried in vain to destroy us and our way of life. God bless America.

May 22, 2012 - Think of it, there could have been thousands of more victims of the tragedy! The media never let anyone know of the huge need. How could have they missed the importunity, I think they were part of the problem, it could not be mistaken. Unspoken heroes is how God always works. Bless that Coast guard man to kick it more into action. Every one who helped took a great risk to make a difference. A great difference is what was made and it was all worth every effort.
Muslim6kids Says:
May 24, 2012 - you would have been great buddies with those terrorists of 9 11, seems like you think the same. Shame on you for diverting attention of the heroes in this video to hatred and fanaticism, spread your hatemongering else where!
Muslim6kids Says:
May 24, 2012 - you on the other hand would put those 9 11 terrorists to shame with your ideas, thankfully not all Americans are as crazy & heartless as you! just disgusting what ignorance does..
Halo4Lyf Says:
May 24, 2012 - I will call attention to that which is hateful, you child in a man's body. The heroism of the men and women in this video wouldn't have been necessary had your coreligionists not murdered 3000 people and caused billions in property damage in Lower Manhattan that day. But of course, "American" Muslims like you want us to forget that and pretend that New York was hit by something akin to a natural disaster that day.
Halo4Lyf Says:
May 24, 2012 - Oh, you poor child. You think that I say what I say out of ignorance, which is a lack of knowledge? No! I say what I say because I probably know more about your religion than you do, and I certainly understand it better than you do.Reform your religion, child, or we will have to eradicate it from the Earth.
Muslim6kids Says:
May 24, 2012 - so sad people like you will only harbor hate in their heart, shameful way to live.you've proven your ignorance through your disgusting spewed nonsense, enough said. I dont have time to engage in petty dialogue with someone obviously full of rage & probably spends his days playing xbox, better get back to your games.
Halo4Lyf Says:
May 24, 2012 - Typical Muslim coward, hiding behind slander and obfuscation. Can't confront the horrible truth that he is on the path blazed by a pedophiliac murderer, straight into Hell.And bitch please, I don't hate your kind. You don't warrant the effort of emotion, you are a stain on the underside of my boot.
Halo4Lyf Says:
May 24, 2012 - Yes, Hiroshima was justified. Though the atomic bombings killed about 250,000 total, both directly and indirectly, it certainly saved lives in the long run by forcing the Japanese surrender. Had the invasion of the Home Islands been necessary, hundreds of thousands of Allied servicemen would've been killed or wounded, and millions of Japanese would have died.Truman made the right call.

May 27, 2012 - How long before Larry Silverstein gets bored of this one and has it demolished? I hope the securities and exchange commission don't keep their paperwork near this building as I don't want to see it destroyed.
DeeFaun Says:
May 27, 2012 - I applaud these brave Americans, thank you for the video. Those that dislike it should leave the USA.
Halo4Lyf Says:
May 9, 2012 - Indeed, not all Islamic people are bad, but that is despite their religion and not because of it. And when push comes to shove, most will side with the radicals, because the religion is inherently tribal. There is no independent and absolute right and wrong in Islam, not like in Christianity or Judaism. Whatever advances Islam is correct, whatever damages it is wrong.Hence why I feel this war will necessarily become one of extermination at some point in the relatively near future.
