If you drop the two items of the top of a tall building which would you expect to be less damaged?
Explain why. :)

It doesn't work for paper, it would like float down. It wouldn't freefall. Go to the top of your stairs and do it. It's the same for a leaf/feather.

Thats right. :)
Thats how the driving licence and various other light items survived the impact.

But the fire would quickly destroy it...

That would depend on how long it spent in the flames.
As has been suggested before on here, try passing your finger through a candle flame quickly, then try it slower, notice the difference?
Then try to think how quickly that driving licence was moving.

No, that doesn't make any sense. A piece of paper can not survive a 500 MPH impact along with fireball/explosion and resulting fires. And how did that survive when mostly all the plane was "vaporized'?

It was amongst lots of other light debris strewn around ground zero, all intact, what makes this article so special?

Just what makes you think a licence missed all the columns, didn't get hit by the fireball and then survived the flight down?

Because it is there on the ground along with lots of other items that did exactly that?

Dropping a drivers license from a building isn't a good example because there is no way that it would fall at the rate of 500 MPH.

Of course! How stupid of us. Alleged hijacker Satam Al Suqami was holding his paper passport out the open cockpit window (assuming of course that a cockpit window will open at 466 mph: doubtful :lol: ) of the allegedly hijacked AA Flight 11 alleged 767 passenger aircraft when his aircraft with 10,000 gallons of jet fuel aboard hit the North Tower at 466 mph and the passport safely floated to the ground unsinged and unburned, to be found by a random passer-by. The paper passport was not illegally planted as evidence by the totally CORRUPT FBI afterall. Makes complete sense now that you have so diligently explained the facts to us. :D
Satam Al Suqami’s remarkably undamaged
passport, marked and wrapped in plastic.
It was shown as evidence in the 2006 Zacarias
Moussaoui trial. [Source: FBI] | QUOTE (September 12 2001: Hijacker’s Passport Found Near WTC) |
It is reported that the passport of hijacker Satam Al Suqami has been found a few blocks from the WTC. [ABC News, 9/12/2001; Associated Press, 9/16/2001; ABC News, 9/16/2001] Barry Mawn, the director of the FBI’s New York office, says police and FBI found it during a “grid search” of the area. [CNN, 9/18/2001] However a senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission later claims it was actually discovered by a passerby and given to an NYPD detective, “shortly before the World Trade Center towers collapsed.” [9/11 Commission, 1/26/2004] The Guardian says, “The idea that Mohamed Atta’s passport had escaped from that inferno unsinged [tests] the credulity of the staunchest supporter of the FBI’s crackdown on terrorism.” [Guardian, 3/19/2002] (Note that, as in this Guardian account, the passport is frequently mistakenly referred to as Atta’s passport.) http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/context...01passportfound |
