Take this with a grain of salt. I was at a dinner party last night at a friend's house. He had been in the military for years and is now a lawyer. Many of the guests I didn't know but knew they were his friends from the military. Eventually the discussion got to 9/11. One of the guys claimed that he had inside info (but didn't explain if he or someone he knew was involved) that the two towers were shot with an electromagnet laser from a high altitude AWAC aircraft. The way he explained it was this weapon is so powerful it rips apart matter at the atomic level, powderizing concrete and melting steel. He said it is an instantaneous reaction but works from the top down. He then claimed the another target was WT7, but it was too low to hit with the laser without causing unpredictable damage. He said WT7 was previously rigged with implosion materials.
My wife kind of rolled her eyes at me while he was going on as if he was kukoo. And, I kept waiting for the other military people to cut him off with a "Oh, your full of sh!t", or at least laugh at him. But they all seemed intrigued and bought into his claim.
I've always been skeptical about the 9/11 conspiracies but his guy sounded convincing, or at least he believed what he was saying. He could be skitzo though, I just don't know him personally. I do find it interesting if you look at the video of WT7 falling, it falls like an imploded building unlike the towers which came down top to bottom.
I hope someone else can add more information to this assertion.
Dumbest - or most hilarious, take your pick - bunch of crock I ever heard. The sheer amount of energy required to "powderize" concrete or melt steel is on an order of magnitude that is far beyond the capabilities even today, and for the foreseeable future, much less 10 years ago. In addition, to get that sort of energy-generating capability in a Boeing 707 airframe would be, to say the very least, impossible.
Anyone who believed that malarky is either too stupid or too gullible or both to be afforded any sort of responsibility or respectability anywhere in any facet of life. They should be shunned and laughed at, heartily, lustily and loudly while fingers are pointed in their direction.

Yeah, it's far more believable that a couple above ground pools' worth of kerosene can wipe out three steel skyscrapers and the rest of the WTC complex.
Where's your derision for that crock of hogwash?
