The Lutine Bell was salvaged from a ship called the Lutine. It hangs in Llyods of London, the insurance brokers and it is rung to warn the brokers of big announcements, once for bad news, twice for good, I believe.

Honestly, those who know arent telling. There was no wreckage to indicate it was a 757, the damage of the building was inconsistant with that of a 757, and the manuvering required was well beyond the capabilities of a large commercial airliner flown by a novice pilot who prior had only flown small planes. Those who report it also report outragous claims like it flew right over them, no more than twenty-five feet, when in reality they would've been blown off the highway. Those who report seeing larger aircraft were likely influenced by reports on the attacks in New York.

You should know, AS A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER, that steel has a melting point at about 2750 degrees farenheit.\n\nYou should know, AS A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER, that steel loses half of its strength at about 1100 dg farenheit, and at 1800 dg F it loses about 90% of its strength.\n\nJet fuel does not burn hot enough (800-1500 dg F) to MELT the steel, and the towers did not come down because the jet fuel melted the steel.  The jet fuel burned off in a matter of minutes, but it was the ignition source for other combustible material, that heated the steel enough to weaken it and cause the structural failure.  Official investigation reports that pockets of the rubble were burning at about 1832 dg Farenheit.\n\nAS A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER, you should also know that a "pancaking" EFFECT is the result of structural failure of the floor support system, and can be caused by many forms of structural catastrophe, including weakened support by fire, physical damage, etc.  The CAUSE of those things can be planes slicing through steel, fires, and yes demolition teams destroy support systems to bring down buildings as well.\n\nJust because the effect is the same doesn't mean the cause is the same.  Of course, you already knew that because YOU'RE A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER, right?\n\nAS A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER, you should know how the towers were constructed and study the report before you make conclusions agreeing with a conspiracy theory.\n\nDo your homework with facts, not conspirasites.  It will serve your career better.

Hydrogen is extremely flammable, helium is entirely inert. \n\nGoogle for "Hindenburg".  No one know for sure why it caught fire, but once it did the results were spectacular (in a bad way).  \n\nThe US controlled most of the world supply of helium and wasn't letting Germany have any of it, so they were forced to use hydrogen.\n\nAnd yes, you're right, both of those gases are lighter than air due to their low atomic weight.

911 would be first in my mind.  Also, the Titanic sinking. Good luck!

they were given a warning to evacuate the area the stubborn ones chose to stay behind and not heed the warning. Even the rescuers were taken fire from the supposed victims when they were not lifted first. If this had taken place in a diff. part of the country this wouldn't be an issue. If that were the case did you immediately jump on the first plane out to all the other countries when they were stricken with a natural disaster to help them out?

On 1 June 2002 Hansie Cronje missed a scheduled flight home from Bloemfontein to George and instead hitched a ride as the only passenger on a cargo flight in a Hawker Siddeley 748 turboprop aircraft. Near George airport, the pilots lost visibility in cloud, and were unable to land, partly due to unserviceable navigational equipment. While circling, the plane crashed into the Outeniqua mountains northeast of the airport. Hansie Cronje, aged 32, and the two pilots were killed instantly.\n\nIn August 2006 an inquest into the plane crash by South Africa's High Court started. - The inquest reached the conclusion that "the death of the deceased Wessel Johannes (Hansie) Cronje was brought about by an act or omission prima facie amounting to an offence on the part of pilots."

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. \nIn fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, \nwhich was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. \n\nBut as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. \n\nTheir anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day. The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as \nSinko de Mayo.

I won't attack.  I've opened my mind.  The motive, Martial Law.  This "attack" didn't happen exactly as it was supposed to, due to crossed signals.  Had that third plane hit the Capitol, George W. Bush would have had the rhyme and reason to declare martial law and have all of his "citizens" live in a police state.  Also, all of the footage from that horrible event shows people standing in the holes of the building, begging to be rescued.  Now, if this jet fuel was hot enough to melt steel and bring the towers down, how did people's human flesh survive long enough for them to plead that their lives be saved?  They were standing in Ground Zero, right were the planes hit.  How is it possible they didn't just burn up?  I'm sure I'll be attacked for my views, but I'm also sure I will be attacked by people who have never opened themselves up to the other side, who actually have no knowledge of the events themselves.

Your spelling is awful.\n\nYes, JFK, Jr.'s death was an accident. A terrible, preventable accident, but an accident nonetheless.\n\nThe NTSB determined that the probable causea of this accident were the pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during a descent over water at night, which was a result of spatial disorientation. Factors in the accident were haze, and the dark night.

4 is the right answer.\n\nIt is not #1 because there is no reporting of human suffering\nIt is not #2 because there is no reporting of divine guidance\nIt could be #3 because it does show the gods ruling the winds\nBut #4 is the best answer because in this incident, the gods directly affected the lives of the men on the ships.  This answer is better than #3 because it is more specific.

In the early 20th Century, technology had been growing rapidly. Titanic was one result of this massive movement. It was a time when we were arrogant. We had a massive ego because we were conquering new ground. Ultimately that's why many saw this new ship; the largest in the world, as "unsinkable". \n\nApart from the obvious lesson; man kind cannot defeat Mother Nature, there are many other lessons that can and have been learned from the tragedy. Lessons like the value of life, safety precautions. Did you know that after the Titanic sank, the Internation Ice Patrol was created. They're responsible for helping keep ships safe in the North Atlantic Ocean from ice bergs.\n\nOther lessons have been learned, too many to mention, however look at the rest of the century, two world wars, countless others, atomic weapons... all results from the massive boom in technology at the beginning of the 20th Century. The Titanic sank at a point in time were we thought we were inferior to anything in the world... even God, as you mentioned "God himself could not sink this ship". The Titanic disaster means different things to different people. Everyone responds to the story in their own way. Everyone learns different lessons from the great ship. Personally, i've learned that Titanic, a truly beautiful ship in 1912, although loosing a significant amount of human life, is now home to another type of life. The ship, although 3871 metres below the surface is still extremely beautiful; in a different way to which it slipped benneath the water.\n\nWe've learned from our mistakes... the aren't arrogant, we don't assume supremacy, and we now have sufficiant ammenities to acommodate the needs of everyone in the event of a disaster or emergency.\n\nI hope this has helped.
