It Was the Elves That Done It!

I talked previously about Jim Fetzer's inane comments on the radio, but he was actually the host, the guest he was nominally interviewing was fellow "scholar" Judy Wood, famous for her billiard ball theory. I read this comment that Judy made, on the JREF forum, and I thought the poster was just parodying her, but no, she actually said this. From the 27:15 mark, of the first hour:

Judy: Part of my research work has been to look at engineering in nature. How does nature design structures? And perhaps we can copy those designs and use them in engineering designs. And one thing that struck me about the World Trade Centers is that they are very much like trees. Core, outer core, inner core. A tube within a tube design, and that is what allows a tree to wave in the breeze.

Fetzer: Marvelous!

Judy: But also I started thinking about how do trees come down? They don’t start turning into sawdust from the top down.

(laughter)

Judy: With sawdust flying out.

Fetzer: That’s a perfect parallel, because what we actually have with the twin towers is they are blowing up from the top. Each floor is blowing up. So the sawdust, turning a tree into sawdust is perfect! Judy, absolutely a perfect analogy!

Judy: And recently I gave a talk at an engineering conference where I showed some diagrams of the buildings being built and I showed, “If this were a tree and the Keebler elves cut out this big chunk out of the side here, for their little house, where their dwelling is. Would that affect the towers?” And everyone in
the room could see, that no, the way the structure is designed, it can’t bring it down.

Fetzer: And the little house would be analogous to the plane impact?

Judy: Right, you could have several planes, the planes hitting the towers were like a bullet being shot into a tree.

Fetzer: Excellent! Excellent!

I do not know what to say to that. I am literally speechless.
