*****Cross-posted from Bloody Scott*****
You may have heard of the incident in which a tanker truck burst into flames on an underpass in California, creating heat so intense that it melted the steel girders of the overpass above, causing it to collapse, despite Rosie O’Donnell’s observation that “you can’t melt steel.” There obviously thus arise questions over how this may have occurred, using what means, and for what purpose.
Yesterday, I emailed the proprietors of the site www.429truth.com, purportedly set up to look into this incident, with the following bombshell information, in an email:
This is, as you surmise, just a dry run, but I believe that I know what the terrorists’ true target is:

Think back to Planet of the Apes, the scene where the guy discovers the ruins of the Statue of Liberty. Heart-wrenching. Today, of course, it’s the Hollywood Sign.

“In 1978, the Chamber set out to replace the intensely deteriorated sign with a more permanent structure. Nine donors, including actor Gene Autry, publisher Hugh Hefner, singer Andy Williams, and rock star Alice Cooper, gave $27,700 apiece to sponsor replacement letters made of Australian steel, guaranteed to last for many years. These new letters were each 45 feet (13.7 m) high and ranged from 31 to 39 feet (9.3 to 11.8 m) wide. The new version of the sign was unveiled on Hollywood’s 75th anniversary, November 14, 1978, before a live television audience of 60 million people.”
Australian steel!
There’s a list of movies in which the Hollywood sign features prominently, and these days, whenever a director wants to make some huge catastrophe really hit home, really demonstrate the human tragedy, the show the Hollywood sign threatened or destroyed.
The terrorists know this.
Keep up the good work.
God bless the REAL AMERICA,

So far, they haven’t written back. Are they part of the conspiracy?
UPDATE: That was on May 3rd, and they STILL haven’t responded. What are they hiding?

I didn’t know you were a metallurgist. Although nothing can melt American steel, Australian steel melts like butter at something like 128F.
It’s far, far, far, far, far more sinister than you think! Yes, there was a dry run for the dry run!! Two overpasses on Interstate 80 were destroyed by fire in just one month!!! Coincidence? I think not!!!!
Swen–
You’d think that Glenn could afford one of those clamshell removal doohickie’s, wouldn’tcha?
If that isn’t a parody site, it does a damn good job of imitating one.
If these people are serious, one can always use the “Maddox Rebuttal”–the fact that they and their families are still alive proves that the 4/29 conspiracy is bullshit. Simple, effective, and impossible to refute when actual logic is applied.
Does the Mattox Rebuttal come before or after the Chewbacca Defense?
I can never keep them straight.
Back in 1995 (IIRC) there was a tanker truck ‘accident’ on the ramp between I-94 and I-75 that didn’t melt the ramp! I t just ‘needed’ to be replaced because of ‘heat damage’ on the structural ‘steel’.
A dry run? I think SO!
Google it, people!
Do the Strewthers know about this?
Doesn’t matter…the Maddox rebuttal wins regardless of its placement in the argument.
And again, in Rhode Island on 7/20/2000.
Coincidence? No, CONSPIRACY!!! Wake up, sheeple!
