Sept. 11 Conspiracy Theorist Offers $100,000 Prize
Jimmy Walter has spent more than $3 million promoting a conspiracy theory the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States were “an inside job” and he is offering more cash to anyone who proves him wrong.
The millionaire activist is so convinced of a government cover-up he is offering a $100,000 reward to any engineering student who can prove the World Trade Center buildings crashed the way the government says.
“Of course, we expect no winners,” Walter, 57, heir to an $11 million fortune from his father’s home building business, said in a telephone interview from California on Wednesday.
He said a panel of expert engineers would judge submissions from the students.
I wonder who is on his panel of “expert” engineers? I would suspect they are probably fellow conspiracy theorists who will refuse to believe the truth. However; if you are good at coming up with conspiracy theories, he also has another contest coming out.
Next month, he also launches a nationwide contest seeking alternative theories from college and high school students about why New York’s World Trade Center collapsed. The contest offers $10,000 to the best alternative theory, with 100 runner-up awards of $1,000. Winners will be chosen next June.
So, put on your tinfoil hats and think up the wildest theory you can — have some fun and maybe even win some money!

I’d be more interested in having those engineering students explain how a truck bomb full of fertilizer did what Tim McVeigh supposedly did in Oklahoma City. I’m no conspiracy theorist, but I’d like to see someone else duplicate that directed-force explosion from a crude bomb on the sidewalk outside a building and create that same kind of devastation.
Not on a REAL building, of course. Just show me how it was done.
