ABC News:A millionaire activist who believes the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001 were and "inside job" is offering a $130,000 reward to anyone who can prove him wrong.
Jimmy Walter has spent more than $3.9 million promoting the conspiracy theory and is offering the reward to any engineering student who can prove the World Trade Centre buildings crashed the way the Government says they did.
"Of course, we expect no winners," Mr Walter, 57, heir to an $14.3 million fortune from his father's home-building business.
He accuses figures in government, the military and business of involvement in the September 11 attacks.
Mr Walter says a panel of expert engineers will judge submissions from the students.
Notice, the award is for proving the official story. You know, planes hit the buildings and the burning jet fuel softened the steel, so they collapsed. Should be easy money for any engineering student to lay out the calculations, no? The problem with that is unfortunately that what officially happened doesn't seem to fit with any known laws of physics, so, aye, there's the rub. Which one is the theory, now? I don't think anybody will claim the reward. And neither is the mass media going to lose any sleep over that. [ Science | 2004-12-20 18:24 | | PermaLink ] More >
