AUSTIN, Texas, April 3, 2008 /PRNewswire/ — According to an appearance on the Alex Jones Show, former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura blasted the official 9/11 story — citing that evidence disproves the government’s claims that jet fuel melted the Twin Towers’ steel girders.”How could those buildings fall at the speed of gravity — if you put a stopwatch on them both of those World Trade Center buildings were on the ground in ten seconds — how can that be?” asked Ventura. “Never before in the annals of history has a fire caused a steel structure building to fall to the ground like these two did.”Ventura said he was convinced the collapses of the towers and WTC Building 7 were too similar to the controlled demolition of Las Vegas hotels. Ventura has experience with explosives from Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL training and believes unequivocally the buildings were deliberately imploded.”I was on the site within two weeks after it happened and I saw none of these pancakes — wouldn’t they all be piled up in a huge mass on the ground and yet everything was blown into dust — when you look at it from that aspect none of it makes any sense,” Ventura told the Alex Jones Show. Ventura expressed regret that he had initially believed the official story because he could have used his power as governor to raise pointed questions in the media.”I kicked myself when it initially happened that the light didn’t go off but I was so shocked that this thing had even taken place that I apologize for not being more aware,” said Ventura, adding that watching Loose Change at the insistence of his son was part of the catalyst for his wake up call.The Governor’s bold comments about 9/11 come on the heels of similar views expressed by American icon Willie Nelson during an interview on the same radio show in February.
