Scientist Corroborates Rosie O’Donnell’s 9/11 Claim
ANN ARBOR, MI (Disassociated Press) April 13, 2007 – Bartholomew J. Sneed, Professor of Physical Sciences at the University of Michigan, has corroborated a recent claim made by Rosie O’Donnell, referring to the collapse of World Trade Tower Seven in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, that it is physically impossible for fire to melt steel.
“It’s true,” confirmed, Sneed. “It’s a physical impossibility for fire to be a factor in the melting of steel. That’s why, fortunately, steel happens to occur in nature already in every shape and form that mankind could conceivably use or require.”
During the segment of the television talk show The View in which Ms. O’Donnell made the claim, she called for confirmation from a physicist at a leading university.
Sneed’s validation of O’Donnell’s claim had an immediate and far reaching impact across the U.S. economy, as numerous steel forgeries and fabrication facilities, many of which had been in operation for decades, some even over a century, announced their pending closures.
“It’s very disappointing,” stated Heck Grimes, a fourth generation steel worker in a Massachusetts fabricator. “Here, we had always thought we had been using fire to help mold steel into forms that could be used to benefit people, and stimulate the economy, when all along, the things we believed we had been making were already just there in the first place.”
This isn’t the first time that Sneed has dispelled a common socio-scientific myth; a Google search revealed that Sneed made headlines last summer with his discovery that the Interstate Highway System was never constructed but is actually a natural geological phenomenon (see Interstate Highway System a Naturally Occurring Geological Phenomenon, Scientist Claims, The Disassociated Press, June 29, 2006).
