I've no idea where the original comment came from and it may have been no more that journalistic silliness.

I just think it's pointless to require a formal scientific analysis of things that come down to common sense.
Careful. The majority of the world's population thinks its common sense that the towers were brought down by a plane crash and fire.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Whilst it was hot, I doubt it was as hot as the inner earth. That's why IMO journalists can't be used as "evidence". That goes for both sides. Journalists make off the wall coments for the sake of ratings.

The majority of the world's population, especially those that have actually had access to seeing the events on TV, believe that something suspicious happened and that many of them think that either the government knows something or that they were directly involved.
Wikipedia, “9/11 Conspiracy Theories”
An October 2006 New York Times and CBS news poll showed that 28 percent believe members of the Bush Administration are mostly lying about "what they knew prior to September 11th, 2001, about possible terrorist attacks against the United States.
Time Magazine, September 2006
A Scripps-Howard poll of 1,010 adults last month found that 36% of Americans consider it "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that government officials either allowed the attacks to be carried out or carried out the attacks themselves.

I think that the population of people who are CURIOUS is quickly rising, but I still think it's far from being the MAJORITY.

Admittedly, both these polls are a little old...and polls can be very misleading if you don't know the group that was polled and the exact questions that were asked.
That said, I still think that there is a very large group of people who won't even take the time to respond to a 9/11 conspiracy poll because it is so absurd to them.
(Okay, so I know I just posited something that is completely unproveable and unargueable...guilty...but I do believe it to be true...)

Most people were fooled that day too, even if you were at ground zero doesn't mean you had the best view or knew what was going on any better. In some ways you were probably more shocked and saw less than the rest of us, and were unable to analyse the situation correctly. No offense.

However, the percentage of cleanup crews that are becoming terminally ill is pretty staggering when you look at it. Only 5 1/2 years removed and a lot of these people are dying. They are also being ignored.

And, I’m sure if someone wanted to — but no one does — that meteor could be examined for residual radioactivity.

2) Everyone here saying that the ONLY POSSIBLE origin of the thing is at the heart of a nuclear explosion...the smoking gun of the 9/11 government operation.

Not everyone is saying "nuke"...

The only thing that can account for the metorite is a hydrogen bomb, no questions.

I think the illnesses are arising are an unfortunate byproduct of working in an environment where about 100 tons of crushed glass, lead, and asbestos just got dumped.
I don't think these illnesses need a cause beyond that to be explained.
And, for the record...as long as there are personal injury lawyers slinking around disaster sites, recovery workers will never be ignored.
