I find it odd that the same people who say that the "official story" is a cover-up that takes advantage of media coverage and glammor and multimedia propaganda to lie about the WTC, the Pentagon and Everything, are always so quick to present that same old Loose Change video with the keen musical score and snappy cutting to convince people.

BS... Why cant people just accept fact (they may be right in their conspiracy theories once in a while) that some things happen that nobody could have planned for or was never expected to happen, that will shock the world? Lets face it everyone was asking questions at the time, just forget it. It happened, all theories discounted (unless you point out otherwise, which I doubt), leave it be.

That's a poorly put together documentary. The choice of background music (cheap and doesn't help to set the mood), the introduction (that scribbling is very unprofessional), the choice of narrator (sounds like a 16-year-old and gives it no authority) and the choice of language (far too personal). I can't comment on the rest because my connection is too bogged down with afternoon traffic to be able to stream it in anywhere close to real time. But it's probably poorly constructed as well.

If I was going to write about a 9/11 conspiracy then I probably comment on how the US government might have supposedly let it happen, rather than how they supposedly engineered it. If it did happen then you could probably get a lot more interesting and persuasive evidence that the US government was complicit in their actions surrounding 9/11, as oppsed to the denial of the official story of events.

Because people are still in shock. Lets say you have a friend who got into a car accident because of a drunk driver. You would be in shock and you would be like "no, no this can't be, this can't happen to her..." That's what's going on here. It's just not registering in the consipracy theorist mind, so they have to come up with other rationale for it.

Personally, it doesn't matter to me whether or not the government planned it/let it happen. I've already got enough shit to be pissed off at them for, I don't need more ammo. Thanks, I've got some already.

If you ignore 9/11 completely, the facts remain and the fog disappears. Afghanistan was, and still is, a joke, in the sense that it was supposed to actually do anything worthwhile. Iraq was, is, and will always be: controlled by religious arabs. There's nothing we can do about that. What Bush did do, however, is cash in on it and create a hell of a lot more fear and terrorism in the process. Bin Laden is a joke - we still haven't caught him, after all that shit we talked, after all those promises we made, we just gave up and moved on.

To me, they might as well have planned 9/11 down to the letter. They couldn't have profitted or gained more politically from anything else done in any other way.

I just accept the fact that my government is a bunch of selfish, greedy, murdering, lying, chickenshit bastards. After that, everything else just falls into place.

Yes, these people are really really so desperate to get President Bush on anything they can.

Well if they get Bush to resign they will have Vice President Cheney as President and he gets to appoint
a good Vice President pick to run and win in 2008.

They are not going to get them both to resign at the same time, then if President Cheney resigns his Vice President becomes President appoints a Vice President and they run together as President and Vice President for President in 2008 and win as they will have had time to prove themselves in office.

Really really sick and desperate.

Of course, an article like this (http://www.physics.byu.edu/research/energy/htm7.html) by Steven E. Jones, (Department of Physics and Astronomy, Brigham Young University), is probably more debate-worthy than a half-assed video.

Some points apparently made in the article (paraphrased)...

The three buildings collapsed nearly symmetrically, falling down into their footprints, a phenomenon associated with "controlled demolition" — and even then it's very difficult, he says. "Why would terrorists undertake straight-down collapses of WTC-7 and the Towers when 'toppling over' falls would require much less work and would do much more damage in downtown Manhattan?" Jones asks. "And where would they obtain the necessary skills and access to the buildings for a symmetrical implosion anyway? The 'symmetry data' emphasized here, along with other data, provide strong evidence for an 'inside' job."

• No steel-frame building, before or after the WTC buildings, has ever collapsed due to fire. But explosives can effectively sever steel columns, he says.

• WTC 7, which was not hit by hijacked planes, collapsed in 6.6 seconds, just .6 of a second longer than it would take an object dropped from the roof to hit the ground. "Where is the delay that must be expected due to conservation of momentum, one of the foundational laws of physics?" he asks. "That is, as upper-falling floors strike lower floors — and intact steel support columns — the fall must be significantly impeded by the impacted mass. . . . How do the upper floors fall so quickly, then, and still conserve momentum in the collapsing buildings?" The paradox, he says, "is easily resolved by the explosive demolition hypothesis, whereby explosives quickly removed lower-floor material, including steel support columns, and allow near free-fall-speed collapses." These observations were not analyzed by FEMA, NIST nor the 9/11 Commission, he says.

• With non-explosive-caused collapse there would typically be a piling up of shattering concrete. But most of the material in the towers was converted to flour-like powder while the buildings were falling, he says. "How can we understand this strange behavior, without explosives? Remarkable, amazing — and demanding scrutiny since the U.S. government-funded reports failed to analyze this phenomenon."

• Horizontal puffs of smoke, known as squibs, were observed proceeding up the side the building, a phenomenon common when pre-positioned explosives are used to demolish buildings, he says.

• Steel supports were "partly evaporated," but it would require temperatures near 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit to evaporate steel — and neither office materials nor diesel fuel can generate temperatures that hot. Fires caused by jet fuel from the hijacked planes lasted at most a few minutes, and office material fires would burn out within about 20 minutes in any given location, he says.

• Molten metal found in the debris of the World Trade Center may have been the result of a high-temperature reaction of a commonly used explosive such as thermite, he says. Buildings not felled by explosives "have insufficient directed energy to result in melting of large quantities of metal," Jones says.

• Multiple loud explosions in rapid sequence were reported by numerous observers in and near the towers, and these explosions occurred far below the region where the planes struck, he says.

i thought it was obvious that they had tried to knock the buildings over. it would have caused much more damage in an event that was already devastating.

Well this administration isn't quite the cuddly little lap dog Rove would want people to believe. In the early 1980s, a Mr. Donald Rumsfeld worked to get the known dangerous substance Aspartame to be approved by the FDA. The Secretary under Carter wouldn't allow it, but the day after Reagan became president and appointed a new FDA head, Aspartame was released to the public. There is mounting controversy over its use today.

I believe conspiracy theories are what makes this world fun and interesting to live in. As to JFK, why were the formerly classified documents that supposedly said who killed him re-classified? hmm? HMMM? ;)

On a serious note, you're right, and that only adds to my point. And personally? On the whole, I tend not to have too much of a problem with conspiracy theories. It's just...9/11 is NOT something that should be conspirasized about. The very idea that our government would really do something like that is utterly abhorrant. In a facist state or a dictatorship or something equally horrible I'd believe the possibility. In the republic that is the United States of America? Hell no. It's just not possible.

Why? Is it really so hard to believe the US government is no better than any other government? What reason is there to believe US politicians are the only honest ones? From the evidence I've seen, I'm inclined to disbelieve in the inside job theory. However, I don't base this opinion on the notion that the US government is somehow more virtuous than any other existing or previous government.

I'm just so disgusted by this administration, and I just know so much dirt about the Bush family, Rove, the PNAC etc... that it's really hard for me to just toss out the mere possibility of the Bush Administration being even partly behind it. I mean, basically, they had a lot, a hell of a lot to gain with a war, and 9/11 worked out incredibly good in his administration's favor, and it gave something to define his presidency so he wouldn't just be like another Reagan.

I find it hard to believe based on the fact that we elect our leaders from our own population, and that most people in our population are reasonable people that wouldn't even think of faking something on that scale for personal or political gain. Frankly, I think only the most disgustingly immoral person would stage something like 9/11, and while Bush and his cronies certainly aren't fantastic people, they're not THAT bad. That's just paranoia.

That's all I'm saying, really. Of course you might eventually see someone in office that's crazy enough to do something like that. But is it likely? Not really. The American populace might not be all THAT intelligent when it comes to elections, but I think we can trust ourselves to tell a crazy psycho from the other candidates. Bush might be a little dim, but crazy psycho he is not.

bush hadnt been president for a year yet.

there wasnt enough time to plan it.

there wasnt any real upside even if he did use it to get us into a useless war in iraq.

no president is going to risk putting himself in the history books as someone lower than benedict arnold

Kyronea is right. no american president would ever do such a thing. bush may be an incompetant son of a bitch but he didnt become president to massacre US citizen on US soil. to seriously suggest that he would is disgusting

besides, no one plans something like this in a vaccuum. there would be thousands of people who would have some knowlege and hundreds with dirty hands. as we can see from the massive numbers of leaks over the years, if its one thing americans cant do its keep a huge dirty secret. we cant even get people whose livelihood is their NSA job to not rat out a program that does some kind of computer surveillance of people's out-of-country phone calls.

there is just no way that everyone involved in killing 3000 people could live with the guilt.

You're telling me that the government planted bombs inside to blow it up? Pleeease.

Instead of just dismissing it based on the source (those know-nothing BYU professors) could you explain in what way the PM article addresses the article? It doesn't address that there were those who did in fact, see "molten steel" or melted steel, and partially evaporated steel at the site. Even in the official 911 commission report. The PM article does correctly say that melting the steel might not be required... yet if there's melted steel nonetheless, then what?

And there's a whole lot more in the article than the summarization I posted in my post.

I like Popular Mechanics, but it's not a panacea for every possible criticism, question or hypothesis.

Ok. Let me give it to you straight.

A plane fully loaded with jet fuel, crashes at high velocity, into a steel structure that actually has flameable material in it.

Upon impact, the blame bursts into flames, igniting the flameable material and it ignites the leaking jet fuel that causes an explosion. The resulting heat, melts the steel and this weakens the structure to where it can no longer hold it and this results in the collapse of the top half of the building which implodes the rest of the building because of its weight.

Well, here's the thing: No building that had fallen over prior (or indeed after) 9/11 due to a bloody great plane flying into in at close to sonic speed. So there's no way anyone can make inferences as to what would happen.



Anyway, well jet fuel doesn't burn (~800°C) hot enough to melt steel (~1500°C), it does burn hot enough to cause major structural damage and warping. That, and the fact that some of the steel structure was already damaged from the collision was more than enough to cause the collapse.

The 'symmetry data' emphasized here, along with other data, provide strong evidence for an 'inside' job."

If the gov was going to kill 3,000 people already why would they care either? They lost their stucture when the plane hit! It wasn't the fire like the movie keeps saying it was a God damn jet plane

• No steel-frame building, before or after the WTC buildings, has ever collapsed due to fire. But explosives can effectively sever steel columns, he says.

It wasn't the fire it was a God damn jet plane! Weighing several tons at moving at 500mph! That will weaken the hell out of anything.


• WTC 7, which was not hit by hijacked planes, collapsed in 6.6 seconds, just .6 of a second longer than it would take an object dropped from the roof to hit the ground. "Where is the delay that must be expected due to conservation of momentum, one of the foundational laws of physics?" he asks.

These observations were not analyzed by FEMA, NIST nor the 9/11 Commission, he says.

Ever heard of dominos? They know each other over. The structure of each floor wasn't meant to hlod the weight of all the floors above it. They could support it but not hold it up.

• With non-explosive-caused collapse there would typically be a piling up of shattering concrete. But most of the material in the towers was converted to flour-like powder while the buildings were falling, he says. "How can we understand this strange behavior, without explosives? Remarkable, amazing — and demanding scrutiny since the U.S. government-funded reports failed to analyze this phenomenon."

Did you even see ground zero? What the hell was all that stuff there?

• Horizontal puffs of smoke, known as squibs, were observed proceeding up the side the building, a phenomenon common when pre-positioned explosives are used to demolish buildings, he says.

Or when all the air is getting pushed out by gee I don't know maybe the top floors falling down?

• Steel supports were "partly evaporated," but it would require temperatures near 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit to evaporate steel — and neither office materials nor diesel fuel can generate temperatures that hot. Fires caused by jet fuel from the hijacked planes lasted at most a few minutes, and office material fires would burn out within about 20 minutes in any given location, he says.

So what caused them to burn? Huge fuel tanks the government put in without anyone noticing? Ever heard of Knetic energy? When something hits another energy is released.

• Molten metal found in the debris of the World Trade Center may have been the result of a high-temperature reaction of a commonly used explosive such as thermite, he says. Buildings not felled by explosives "have insufficient directed energy to result in melting of large quantities of metal," Jones says.

See last answer.

• Multiple loud explosions in rapid sequence were reported by numerous observers in and near the towers, and these explosions occurred far below the region where the planes struck, he says.

When a tornado is over head people say it sounds like a freight train. Does this mean tornados are really government trains o' death? No. It means that loud noises sound a like and metal falling in the building sounds like an explosion, or just plain terror caused them to hear things that weren't there.

Not to mention the fire igniting all the flameable materials that go into insolation and other building materials. This will make a fire hotter than it would otherwise be from jet fuel.

Instead of just dismissing it based on the source (those know-nothing BYU professors) could you explain in what way the PM article addresses the article? It doesn't address that there were those who did in fact, see "molten steel" or melted steel, and partially evaporated steel at the site. Even in the official 911 commission report. The PM article does correctly say that melting the steel might not be required... yet if there's melted steel nonetheless, then what?

And there's a whole lot more in the article than the summarization I posted in my post.

I like Popular Mechanics, but it's not a panacea for every possible criticism, question or hypothesis.
So you're going to take the word of one guy (albeit a professor) over a magazine that:
assembled a team of nine researchers and reporters who, together with PM editors, consulted more than 70 professionals in fields that form the core content of this magazine, including aviation, engineering and the military.
So it's one person vs 80+, who are experts in individual, specialist fields.

As for the molten steel claim, it wasn't. It ws most likely twisted, bent or saggy steel, which is easily caused by 800 degree fires. People see what they want. They want to see molten steel, so a piece of sagging steel becomes it.

But a miultitude of professors and physicists are. And I've seen a few sites where several physicsts question the legitimacy of Bush's story for 9/11. But I'm not going to get into that right now.

Please! We all know what happened on 9/11. We know they were terrorists from the Al Qaeda terrorist network. We even Id'd some of the high jackers as being part of said network. We know that Osama Bin Laden himself claimed responsibility for the attack on the WTC and the Pentagon.

This here is nothing but a conspiracy theory and one not even steeped in anything resembling facts.

Most of that article seems to center around 'No building that's fallen over has collapsed in the way those buildings did on 9/11'. And from this they make the huge leap of logic to somehow inferring that the buildings must have had explosives in them.

Not... really...

Did you actually read it? I admit I haven't had time or energy to bother with it all.

But is the explosives scenario so difficult to believe?

I mean, terrorists a few years earlier were caught trying to plant explosives in the basement of the building, right?


Anyway, well jet fuel doesn't burn (~800°C) hot enough to melt steel (~1500°C),

Right, so the explanation for melted and/or molten steel is...?


Neither is a BYU professor.

I'm not offering the article or the professor up as an "explanation." It's mostly questions regarding the official story as told to us by a government that has never, ever lied about anything for any reason.

Jovian Moons, you just posted that so I don't have a whole lot to say about it. Indeed I am just trying to get some debate that doesn't involve pointing and laughing at people for being looney crazy bastards.

• Steel supports were "partly evaporated," but it would require temperatures near 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit to evaporate steel — and neither office materials nor diesel fuel can generate temperatures that hot. Fires caused by jet fuel from the hijacked planes lasted at most a few minutes, and office material fires would burn out within about 20 minutes in any given location, he says.

So what caused them to burn? Huge fuel tanks the government put in without anyone noticing? Ever heard of Knetic energy? When something hits another energy is released.

Right. What caused them to burn? That's the question.

Kinetic energy, you say?

Someone said the jet had 60 tons of fuel and itself weighed a few tons. Call it 70 tons. Moving at 500 mph. That's 223.52 meters per second and 63,502.931 kilograms. That's a KE of 12,563,515 joules. If 100% was translated as heat energy that's 11,907.91 BTUs...

Is that enough to make molten steel from pieces of the supports?

See, I don't know. I'm just asking questions.

It hasn't been "proven," it's been told to us. Sure we saw video of the towers crashing, the planes flying into them, but does that really mean that that's all that happened? Of course not. It's just a simple explaination and exactly what the Bush Administration was hoping the American people accept. Same goes for the Iraq war.

I call for a serious investigation of the hypothesis that WTC 7 and the Twin Towers were brought down, not just by impact damage and fires, but through the use of pre-positioned cutter-charges.

And to be honest, it's all written a lot more intelligently than your post.

From the evidence I've seen, I'm inclined to disbelieve in the inside job theory. However, I don't base this opinion on the notion that the US government is somehow more virtuous than any other existing or previous government.

Occam's razor says go with the simplest explanation.

You're telling me that the government planted bombs inside to blow it up? Pleeease.

ok then- how can massive plane carrying 80 tons of flammable fuel slamming into the pentagon at 500 miles an hour only make a small hole in the pentagon?

You might want to read this:
http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/august2004/110804factsstraight.htm

Why such 'little' damage?
Though the Pentagon survived the impact remarkably well, the plane cut a vast swath of destruction throughout the affected portion of the structure. [B]The building, it should be noted, is built of steel reinforced concrete and masonry throughout, supported by narrowly spaced, spirally reinforced concrete columns varying in thickness from 14 to 21 inches, with the larger columns, naturally, to be found in the first story.

The load-bearing columns support a slab, beam, and girder system of flooring. While not a fortress, the construction of the Pentagon is substantial and massive. The building is constructed of 680,000 tons of sand and gravel that were used to make the steel-reinforced concrete. Each of the five sides of the building then contains more than 100,000 tons of structural building components. The Boeing aircraft, by comparison, weighed nearly 100 tons and, like any aircraft, was of much lighter aluminum and composite construction, as befitting a vehicle meant to fly.

The American Society of Civil Engineers described the impact site and the damage in their comprehensive report on the crash. According to the report, "Most of the serious structural damage was within a swath that was approximately 75 to 80 ft wide and extended approximately 230 ft into the first floor of the building. This swath was oriented at approximately 35 to 40 degrees perpendicular to the exterior wall of the Pentagon. Within the swath of serious damage was a narrower, tapering area that contained most of the very severe structural damage. This tapering area approximated a triangle in plan and had a width of approximately 90 ft at the aircraft’s entry point and a length of approximately 230 ft along the trajectory of the aircraft through the building."

Floors were evacuated prior to the attacks for security reasons.

Larry Silverstein discussed on tape the decision being made to 'pull' WTC7, which subsequently collapsed into it's own footprint without having been hit by a plane.

You are discounting all the other evidence that has been presented in this debate debunking everything you have said because it doesn't agree with you.

Face it, no matter what the evidence is, your going to go right on believing this. You asked us what we think. We told you what we thought and backed it up with evidence proving our assertions. You have not provided any evidence to back up your assertions and the evidence you did bring up has been debunked many times before.

In other words, you'll find any excuse to dismiss an entire article without reading it because it's much more comfortable to declare someone as stupid than to actually ask questions, or answer 'em.

Personally I think *that* is stupid.

Larry Silverstein's interview is a fact.

Several matching witness reports of additional explosions(including camera footage of squibs prior to collapse)- fact.

Video of a right-handed chubby-faced Osama Bin-Laden confessing to masterminding 9/11 found in Afghanistan by the US Army- a complete piss-take. Seriously you have to watch that before blindly accepting the pretext for war on Afghanistan and Iraq (oh and Iran- well, while we're down there right!)

Nice website. I liked the Illuminat theme song that went with this page.

Illuminati


Beneath the broad tide of human history there flow the stealthy undercurrents of the secret societies, which frequently determine in the depths the changes that take place on the surface.

— Arthur Edward Waite


Some say that there are Secret Societies, Powerful International Bankers and Satanic Cabal's behind much of what our government does, including the events of September 11th.




click on photo to see it larger.


. . . Just something to think about . . .



For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as "internationalists" and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.

— David Rockefeller

Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws.

— Mayer Amschel Rothschild

I've often wondered if the one that hit the Pentagon got hit by some secret Pentagon defense system - SAMs or Hand-held Stingers or something, thus explaining how only the engine hit, and they don't want to reveal it, thus making it seem odd.

There are no SAM launchers or even buried missile tubes, I've been there. And if there were, where did the rest of the aircraft go? Much more, the mere physics of the missile to lock on and shoot down a plane travelling at the supposed vectors and speed it was at doesn't work. Missiles aren't nearly as agile as some might believe from the movies. It's not like the body of the 757 has ever been found. Pretty interesting flash I linked to, if you're looking at it.

OK, this BYU professor and any of the posters here buying the trash are idiots. Let me explain this in simple terms. I may not have a degree yet, but I am an engineering student at Purdue University so I do have some knowledge of Physics.

The WTC towers weren't constructed like normal skyscapers. Most buildings have your regular skeletal structure. That is why skyscrapers often have poles in the middle of the floors. The World Trade Center was built differently. The building's architect wanted an open floor plan that removed these ugly poles.

The answer was to build the most important load bearing poles into the exterior wall. This explains the thick lines of steel and the small windows on the building's exterior. The building's exterior acted as an exoskeleton for the whole building. There were some support poles inside the structure. These were placed on the interior of the building by the stairwells and elevators.

WHen the planes hit the WTC, they penetrated the exterior wall that held much of the load bearing steel. The first plane took out almost all of the supports on the side it hit. It also took out all of the supports in the center of the building and some on the side opposite of where it hit. Other support structures were damaged by the impact. The force of the impact and the explosion of the jet fuel created a pressure wave that blew the flame retardent coating that covered support beams off of the steel. This left the undamaged steel columns were leftunprotected.

The damage to the South Tower was even worse. 2 sides had almost all of their supports out in addition to the center supports. The damage to both buildings where the major load steel supports were taken out turned the surviving parts of the building into an arch structure. The building would've been able to survive this had it not been for the fire.

Steel melts are temperatures that weren't reached by the fire. But, at 800 degrees, steel loses it's strength. The fire burned between 1200 and 1500 degrees. At these temperatures steel sags and loses its strength. With the building structurally weakened, the columns could no longer support the weight on them and the floors pancaked down on eachother.

As for number 7, it got struck with many large chunks of debris and also burned. It should also be mentioned that when the towers fell, they caused a shockwave at the level of a 2.1 magnitude quake. Now imagine some of the burning chunks strong enough to do that striking a building. The building also had 42000 gallons of diesel fuel stored in it as a part of a diesel generator system. The fires were likely fueled by this.

As for the theory of controlled demolitions. Any one who has seen the process for that would know it takes months of preparation and there is no way that anyone could place the explosives there without anyone noticing. There would be miles of wires criss crossing the building that would be in plane view or wouldn't be able to escape detection by maintenance personnel.

If the plane was traveling at over 500 MPH, I wouldn't expect much large wreckage from it. Planes are made to be lightweight, not impact resistant. I'd assume that the aluminum would be shredded on impact. Anyway, I'd love to see the pictures from those confiscated and classified tapes.

IT actually makes sense. We've all seen video of the remains of other airline crashes. In those crashes, you can't see any major parts of the aircraft in most cases. The airplane is made of aluminum. It basically evaporates in the crash.

If you want an example, this is AA Flight 191. It crashed right after take off from O'Hare. It was going at less than 160 knots. This is between 1/3 and 1/2 the speed of the plane that struck the Pentagon. You see very little evidence of an airplane. In face, this looks much like the Pentagon crash site if the Pentagon weren't present. All you see left of the plane are tiny bits of shredded alumninum.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/83/AA191-crash-site.png

As for the engines punching through, that is normal. The engines are the only heavy parts of the aircraft. They are the only parts that have a chance of retaining their form after a crash. Read "Debt of Honor" by Tom Clancy. It was written in 1994 and featured a plane crash into the Capitol Building. Clancy did research for this part and determined that the plane would desintegrate on impact with only the engines really remaing intact to continue puncturing through the building.

If the plane was traveling at over 500 MPH, I wouldn't expect much large wreckage from it. Planes are made to be lightweight, not impact resistant. I'd assume that the aluminum would be shredded on impact. Anyway, I'd love to see the pictures from those confiscated and classified tapes.
500mph is the rough cruising speed of the aircraft, not the speed it hit the pentagon at. I would still like to know how the pilot was able to hit a relatively small area while travelling at yet a very high speed and still have perfect control of the plane as to not hit the ground at all. When an aircraft is landing or crashing specifically, it will begin to pick up a lot of speed and thus make it much more harder to control. Especially travelling at the angle it was, makes it even more unimaginably difficult to control.

For those of you who think I actually believe all of this stuff. I don't. I'm merely keeping an open mind to both this theory, and the theory I've been fed by the Bush Administration, and I prefer the more interesting theory. :D

I'm probably the only person who agrees with the gov and watched the entire video. Yup I wasted over an hour of my life watching it. At the end they claim it was done for money. Several billion dollars worht in fact. So let me get this straight, a bunch of millionares adn billionares risked everything they have to make more money? And if it was the gov why go into Afaganastan? There is nothing of value there at all. Why not blame Sadam adn go get the oil right away? Too many holes in the theory, and I watched it with an open mind, or as open as I could get it. There are a few good points but with every supposed government coverup there are a few good points. If you tired hard enough you could find evidence that you didn't crash your car into a tree even though half the planet saw it.

Please respond to my above post on this matter. The plane that struck the Pentagon was going about 350-400 knots at time if impact. The plane in the picture I posted was going 150-160 knots when it crashed north of Touhy Ave in the North suburbs of Chi-town. It was a DC-10, which is even bigger than the 757 that struck the Pentagon. If you look at crash photos of similar planes that strke at 350-400 knots, you will see almost nothing left of the plane.

As for the 2 theories. It's OK to have an open mind, but to throw out all science because you don't like the President makes you nothing more than an idiot and just as bad if not worse than the people who want to throw out the science of Evolution.

Explain to me then, how a novice pilot was able to fly a rather large commercial airliner into a 40 foot wall while crashing at a high speed. It's incredibly hard to control an aircraft while crashing. I don't speak from experience, I speak from experience of others (such as my physics teacher who was a pilot in the AF for 20 years), my own knowledge of physics, and accounts of pilots who have indeed crashed from my various resources of Naval aviation and such.

I'm not a pilot, but I do have some stick time in a Cessna 182, very little time BTW, but enough to understand flight. (a far cry from a Boeing 757 I know), But, these pilots did have training in small aircraft. They knew how to fly while in flight. They weren't experience pilots and wouldn't have the ability to land an aircraft, but crashing an aircraft or navigating to an area is easy. I can tell you that turning an aircraft is extremely easy. THe wall was more than 40 feet BTW. It was much closer to 60 feet. Flying the plane was easy, but it would take months of training to properly take off or land. Turning or changing altitudes can be done by just about anybody.

As for the pilots who have crashed having problems controlling the aircaft, that is no surprise. That is why they crashed. They didn't try to crash, something went wrong in the aircraft causing them to lose control.

Think about it, if a pilot loses hydraulic pressure, he won't be able to control the plane and control where he crashes. If a pilot stalls, he won't have sufficient airflow over the control surfaces to guide the aircraft where he wants. So you can easily see here citing pilots who have crashed and then said they had trouble controlling where they were going isn't great evidence. IN fact it is crap and doesn't prove a thing.

As for high speed, that actually can make it easier. That is because you have good airflow over the control surfaces allowing the plane to do what you want it to do. The pilots did have difficulty in flying low BTW. THey clipped lightposts and the tops of trees.

No need to get snotty about it. And from the grainy picture given, I see a lot of where the ground was messed up, and without looking at a better quality picture, or one that shows more of what looks to be the skid path, I can't really say much more. I ask you if you see a skid path outside the pentagon, then look at the height at which the hole was made. Hint: It starts about 2 feet off the ground.

Of course the picture I showed had messed up ground. The plane hit the ground in the case of AA 191. As for the plane that hit the Pentagon, you won't have skid points if it never touched ground. The hole started low but above ground because that is where the plane was. If it hit ground, you would see that damage to the ground. I didn't post the picture for the ground. I posted it to show that a major plane crash will leave little debris because the forces involved will cause the airframe to desintigrate as it did at the Pentagon. You still haven't touched those points. The picture is grainy because this is coming out of a picture from the Tribune 27 years ago. We've all seen pictures of plane crashes so you you know damn well that planes can desintigrate on impact.

You know what? You're right. And you didn't even have to flame. Who knows if the pilots were indeed magical and could crash a plane into a building 2 feet of the ground without hitting it before? Perhaps they just got lucky and were able to pull it off and everything worked in their favor. Or perhaps it was indeed a missile. You can't be absolutely sure.

Remaining blacked-out sections on some records will come to light at different dates between now and 2017 when all redacted records will be fully disclosed, the board says.

All anybody’s doing is using common consensus and saying it couldn’t have been that way because everybody who I listen to says it’s another way.

We are using common sense. Common Sense that says that this is thoroughly wrong and evidence was provided debunking everything that the OP of this thread has been saying.

The fact that you all won’t even consider that your leaders could be vile evil human beings (unless they happen to be in the other political party with practically the same views) is disgusting to me.

:rolleyes: Be disgusted all you like. Not my problem that the facts are trumping whatever BS you believe.

We must always question our leaders. If Thomas Paine was alive today, he would be making videos like that. If Jefferson was alive today, he would be writing books like “In Plane Site,” in between banging black prostitutes of course. If Washington was alive today, he would be the head of an anti government militia group.

Your right. We must question our leaders. And on election day, hold them to account if we are not satisfied with the job they are doing.

Well believe what you want. I don't care. The rest of us who actually decided to take the time to look at the facts knows that the government had nothing to do with this at all.

Popular consensus doesn't make something right.

Be that as it may, it is the voters responsibility to know what their elected leaders are doing. I make sure I know what my Senators and congressman is voting on. If I do not like how they voted, I write to them. If I really do not like what they are doing, I'll vote against them in the next election.

Problem is Undelia is not thinking logically and has been sucked into the world of missiles on civilian planes with supposed blacked out windows. When anyone in the world would not be able to accurately say anything about the windows, if they were open or not or if they had people in them, when it is traveling in excess of 300 mph high above your head at various angles. Even the speed alone is akin to reading a small advertisement on a Nascar sports car as it zooms past infront of you from thousands of feet away, in the middle of a wreck!

To fire a missile from a plane is not exactly smart....espically at the less then twice then half the length of the airplane into a building. A missile wouldn't even be armed yet for safety reasons, if it would explode it'd destroy the plane. Even more unlikely would be the ability to fire a missile and NOT have an explosion of considerable size, or damage that would not be clearly seen.

Why? Why go to all the trouble of hijacking airplanes and launching missiles and whatever else the US Government supposedly did, when there are far easier ways to do this sort of thing? A few truck bombs would have been less trouble; if you really want to scare people, repeat it again the next week, and use that as evidence that unless an immediate military response is launched, the terrorists will continue their attacks.

So why engage in all these intricate conspiracies? What's the point?

And why haven't any of those in on the secret said anything? In regard to foreign policy the government can be very close-mouthed (though even that is sometimes undermined), but this sort of conspiracy necessitates a secrecy that is patently unrealistic, considering that allegedly this was a terrorist attack committed by the US government against its own people.

The US regularly engages in atrocities; in the few years since 9/11/01 it has engaged in ones far more egregious than that one. It's easy enough to point out its criminality without resorting to conspiracist nonsense.

To be honest, I'm getting sick of hearing about the destruction of the World Trade Centre. Evil it was but I think it's time to just get over it and concentrate on the future and not ti discriminate against everyone we might have speculated may have done it. There have been more tragic incidents since and before that that haven't got the same attention. Same goes for the holocaust, please let it go and quit blaming individuals around today - it happens, I've seen it often!

The weird case, in Austria, of that historian fella being inprisoned for expressing his beliefs, which were contrary to what most of us believe to be the truth about the Nazi mass murders of Jews. We are sacrificing our freedoms of speech here, our right to have opinions that differ from the norm, irrespective of how ridiculous these opinions might be!

They conveniently ignore the fact that the frames are one full second apart. A plane traveling at some 500 miles per hour moves something like 733 and a third feet in one second. The ammount of space in that frame that the plane would have passed through would be less than 200 feet in my estimation. The plane would cover that in less than a third of a second.

The aluminum wings and tail don't survive high-speed impact with steel reinforced concrete in one piece. They break up into very small pieces. Only the engines, the densest and most solid part of the plane, continue through the pentagon.

Bullets dont' survive intact when they hit their targets. They deform and fragment. That doesn't mean that they don't penetrate. Imagine an engine punching through a few concrete walls at high speed. As it's penetrating it's falling apart as well.

Who claims that the wings folded back without hitting the walls? Got a link or are you lying again?

IT actually makes sense. We've all seen video of the remains of other airline crashes. In those crashes, you can't see any major parts of the aircraft in most cases. The airplane is made of aluminum. It basically evaporates in the crash.

If you want an example, this is AA Flight 191. It crashed right after take off from O'Hare. It was going at less than 160 knots. This is between 1/3 and 1/2 the speed of the plane that struck the Pentagon. You see very little evidence of an airplane. In face, this looks much like the Pentagon crash site if the Pentagon weren't present. All you see left of the plane are tiny bits of shredded alumninum.

Motorcars look like ants? I can clearly see details of the cars. I can see four door cars and two door models, for example. I can also see that there is debris, but it's small fragments. Also an airplane wing, or even a fragment the size of a car would be visible, if the wings hadn't shredded. Same goes for an airplane tail section. Those are mighty large objects. Maybe you need glasses. Or maybe you're just a damn dirty liar. After all, you say IDF claimed that airplane crashes regularly leave no debris. He didn't say that. He said that the pieces are normally small, not large chunks of wing and tail.

I'm reposting my main refutation post here because people who haven't bothered to read the thread are spewing the same shit.

---------------------------------

OK, this BYU professor and any of the posters here buying the trash are idiots. Let me explain this in simple terms. I may not have a degree yet, but I am an engineering student at Purdue University so I do have some knowledge of Physics.

The WTC towers weren't constructed like normal skyscapers. Most buildings have your regular skeletal structure. That is why skyscrapers often have poles in the middle of the floors. The World Trade Center was built differently. The building's architect wanted an open floor plan that removed these ugly poles.

The answer was to build the most important load bearing poles into the exterior wall. This explains the thick lines of steel and the small windows on the building's exterior. The building's exterior acted as an exoskeleton for the whole building. There were some support poles inside the structure. These were placed on the interior of the building by the stairwells and elevators.

WHen the planes hit the WTC, they penetrated the exterior wall that held much of the load bearing steel. The first plane took out almost all of the supports on the side it hit. It also took out all of the supports in the center of the building and some on the side opposite of where it hit. Other support structures were damaged by the impact. The force of the impact and the explosion of the jet fuel created a pressure wave that blew the flame retardent coating that covered support beams off of the steel. This left the undamaged steel columns were leftunprotected.

The damage to the South Tower was even worse. 2 sides had almost all of their supports out in addition to the center supports. The damage to both buildings where the major load steel supports were taken out turned the surviving parts of the building into an arch structure. The building would've been able to survive this had it not been for the fire.

Steel melts are temperatures that weren't reached by the fire. But, at 800 degrees, steel loses it's strength. The fire burned between 1200 and 1500 degrees. At these temperatures steel sags and loses its strength. With the building structurally weakened, the columns could no longer support the weight on them and the floors pancaked down on eachother.

As for number 7, it got struck with many large chunks of debris and also burned. It should also be mentioned that when the towers fell, they caused a shockwave at the level of a 2.1 magnitude quake. Now imagine some of the burning chunks strong enough to do that striking a building. The building also had 42000 gallons of diesel fuel stored in it as a part of a diesel generator system. The fires were likely fueled by this.

As for the theory of controlled demolitions. Any one who has seen the process for that would know it takes months of preparation and there is no way that anyone could place the explosives there without anyone noticing. There would be miles of wires criss crossing the building that would be in plane view or wouldn't be able to escape detection by maintenance personnel.

The WTC towers weren't constructed like normal skyscapers. Most buildings have your regular skeletal structure. That is why skyscrapers often have poles in the middle of the floors. The World Trade Center was built differently. The building's architect wanted an open floor plan that removed these ugly poles.

The answer was to build the most important load bearing poles into the exterior wall. This explains the thick lines of steel and the small windows on the building's exterior. The building's exterior acted as an exoskeleton for the whole building. There were some support poles inside the structure. These were placed on the interior of the building by the stairwells and elevators.

WHen the planes hit the WTC, they penetrated the exterior wall that held much of the load bearing steel. The first plane took out almost all of the supports on the side it hit. It also took out all of the supports in the center of the building and some on the side opposite of where it hit. Other support structures were damaged by the impact. The force of the impact and the explosion of the jet fuel created a pressure wave that blew the flame retardent coating that covered support beams off of the steel. This left the undamaged steel columns were leftunprotected.

The damage to the South Tower was even worse. 2 sides had almost all of their supports out in addition to the center supports. The damage to both buildings where the major load steel supports were taken out turned the surviving parts of the building into an arch structure. The building would've been able to survive this had it not been for the fire.

Steel melts are temperatures that weren't reached by the fire. But, at 800 degrees, steel loses it's strength. The fire burned between 1200 and 1500 degrees. At these temperatures steel sags and loses its strength. With the building structurally weakened, the columns could no longer support the weight on them and the floors pancaked down on eachother.

As for number 7, it got struck with many large chunks of debris and also burned. It should also be mentioned that when the towers fell, they caused a shockwave at the level of a 2.1 magnitude quake. Now imagine some of the burning chunks strong enough to do that striking a building. The building also had 42000 gallons of diesel fuel stored in it as a part of a diesel generator system. The fires were likely fueled by this.

As for the theory of controlled demolitions. Any one who has seen the process for that would know it takes months of preparation and there is no way that anyone could place the explosives there without anyone noticing. There would be miles of wires criss crossing the building that would be in plane view or wouldn't be able to escape detection by maintenance personnel.

Those builings were designed to withstand being hit by planes, partly thanks to lessons learnt when the Empire State Building was hit by one (it subsequently burned for several hours without falling down)

Also- the main support for the WTC towers was NOT around the exterior, but on the 47 solid strengthened steel columns in the central core. The 2nd plane to hit only struck the corner of the tower with the majority of the jet fuel exploding outside of the building. This plane could not have compromised the central columns and yet this building collapsed first!

Also, your explanation does not account for the collapse of WTC7- which I must remind people also collapsed perfectly down at freefall speed without being struck by a plane! What was the reason for that again? Oh yes- diesel fuel tanks in the building! A must for any skyscraper! Fuel tanks that can collapse a building in the event of a fire! Nice design.

Oh and by the way- Do not use photos of crash scenes with no debris to explain the strange lack of debris at the pentagon- when the crash scene you use as an example DID have debris.
A different photo of your example crash scene of Flight 191shows that there was plenty of debris:

Are you just debunking for the sake of it or should I be worrying about your motives?

I'm reposting my main refutation post here because people who haven't bothered to read the thread are spewing the same shit.

Those buildings DIDwithstand being hit by planes. What they couldn't withstand was the long term exposure of steel support structures to high temperature after the insulation was knocked off of them by the impact.

If you had bothered to read the evidence presented in the other thread I linked to you'd already know that. But then you probably did and you're spreading your lies for some stupid reason.

You're wrong on the structure of the WTC. It was a new type of skyscraper construction in which the sides were important load-bearing structures.

Once again, if you had bothered to read the thread I linked to earlier you wouldn't look like such an ignorant liar.

None of the buildings collapse at free-fall speed. In fact you can see debris falling faster than the building is collapsing.

This too was dealt with in the earlier thread.

Quit shoveling this bullshit onto my forum. It only makes you look stupid and dishonest.

So that plane flying into the corner of the tower 'knocked of the insulation' from the thick steel support columns all the way round enabling those briefly burning fires to melt/weaken the steel in under 1 hour causing them to remain molten for over 3 weeks after- right. Next you'll be saying that diesel fuel fires collapsed WTC7!

What do you mean by 'my forum'? Ooops man- if you own this forum I apologise and will post government-friendly opinions from now on.

:rolleyes:

Why don't you try debunking the evidence? Oh wait, I forgot that you can't. We already proven this conspiracy false but yet you continue to insist that it is accurate. I do not know wether to pity you or question where you are getting your news from.

Wow...I saw the whole thing. Amazing. If these facts are true...this man is a genius. I always saw Bush as using 9/11 for power. Never considered it might be intentional.

Then I guess you looked over the evidence that debunks this whole conspiracy?

1-6 (40/page). Even I doubt that Bush had any part in it.

Yay! Conspiracy theory time! So, is Bush a puppet of:

A: The Jews
B: The Illuminati
C: PNAC
D: Generic Neo-Conservatives
E: Space Lizards dressed as Queen Elizabeth and Bush himself
F: All of the above!

Bush is most definately a puppet, but lemme rephrase my comment then: I don't think the Bush Administration had anything to do with it.
Brattain

Proof of what?

That Bush didn't have anything to do with it?

I thought you agreed at least on that.

Anyway- I said probably. Which means I doubt that he did. Do I have to prove that I doubt something??
