It appears all Ryan knows how to do is lecture on absurd topics, instead of debating actual data provided by the govt.

It "appears" you didn't watch his lecture. Bob Balsamo decided to label it a "one sided debate."
Then when the host of this video asked where Mackey had erred in the video.... your PFT members fell pretty silent.
All Bob had to say was Mr. Mackey looked like he was 20 years old. Yeah, that is a totally relevant statement.

The very definition of a lecture is teaching about a subject. Mackey is disproving NPT without an opponent ie. arguing theory. That is debate. And it appears, one-sided.
Mackey, you and a few others claim its a "lecture" in order to hand waive the fact there isnt an opponent. Its not a lecture. They start with a claim, and attempt to disprove such a claim. That is debate. Try wiki.
P4T appears to be pretty vocal. Anytime you would like to retract your inaccurate statement, let us know.
Here's a hint, P4T does not endorse NPT. So P4T see no reason to refute Mackey's claims or math in the video. However, P4T has proven Mackey wrong on numerous occassions regarding other topics. Click the link.
Actually, i think Bob claimed Mackey looked 14. Knowing the arrogance of Mackey, he probably takes that as a compliment.

Speaking of Mr. Mackey, due to my email that I sent to Hardfire, they forwarded it to Mr. Mackey and Mr. Mackey sent me a nice little email.

This is part 1 of a scheduled 3 shows NASA Rocket Scientist, Ryan Mackey is doing on Hardfire.
In this first of three Hardfire programs, Ryan Mackey of NASA's Jet Propulsion Labs examines the physics of 9/11 and answers such questions as "Could a plane destroy the inner core columns of the World Trade Center?" Ronald Wieck hosts. Taped February 26, 2009.

We did these shows as a kind of coda to the never-ending conspiracy arguments that now seem to be dying out. Instead of taking on any individual or specific wild claim, what I attempt to do instead is walk through the process of science, and show how anyone can apply this approach to any claim one might encounter. The scientific method is available to anyone, and need not be expensive, either. I attempt to demonstrate this by walking through two of the more common Truth Movement misconceptions from first principles.

As for the other whackjob,
This is the kind of jacka** .....
A couple of minutes of watching these two liars
Maybe I need to take a Physics class to find out.

Well? are you going to share it with us?
The point of the lecture was not to take on or validate "no plane" theories, which I agree are ridiculous. It was an example. You were probably already in agreement with the idea that aircraft can crash through steel, but perhaps unable to put numbers to it. After going through this example, the exact same technique can be applied to ANY physics question, regardless of its significance to any given faction of the Truth Movement.

BTW, a "systems safety manager" does not equal "rocket scientist".
Valhall is a "rocket scientist" as she is a mechanical/aerospace engineer.

I'll share a small part:
The rest was more personal and I'll respond on my own.

He works in the jet propulsion laboratory. You're not typically one to get into semantics Griff.
Valhall still have ghosts walking around her house?
All I'm saying is that Ryan would probably appreciate not being labeled what he is not (if he is not). Nothing more, nothing less. I know I would.

Well, let Ryan speak for himself. He has stated at Jref that he is a "rocket scientist."

It's just that, as an example, in the architectural field, one can not call one self an "architect" unless one is an AIA. Even with a Doctorate in architecture. So semantics, yes, but important semantics in some fields.
