No, there is not. Tom Send a noteboard - 20/09/2011 03:19:43 PM
I agree with Jens that asking questions is never wrong, but there is no compelling evidence, unless you think the lies and unsubstantiated rumors passed off as fact in "Loose Change" is evidence.

The towers came down because of a combination of factors: (1) the actual shell of the building was the primary support structure (this might have been enough without any other factors), which was totally compromised when the airplanes ripped huge holes in that support structure, (2) the metal supports on the inside warped from the heat of jet fuel burning, which on its own might not have been enough to bring down the building, and (3) all of this happened near the top of the buildings, which essentially pushed all of the pressure down to lower floors.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

We really need to have Logic as a course in high schools. Tom - 20/09/2011 06:50:36 AM 1377 Views
Logic classes would be good in schools. Timthetrolloc - 20/09/2011 10:23:56 AM 916 Views
Ugh. Ghavrel - 20/09/2011 11:30:59 AM 952 Views
Re: Ugh. Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:03:31 AM 872 Views
Something tells me that no matter who answered your questions you wouldn't believe anyway. everynametaken - 21/09/2011 02:16:52 AM 868 Views
this is a controlled demolition Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:20:09 AM 995 Views
That is an incredibly stupid argument. Tom - 21/09/2011 01:12:38 AM 933 Views
I've seen controlled demolitions in person. They happen in the opposite order of the WTC collapses. Ghavrel - 21/09/2011 03:54:35 AM 949 Views

Agreed Camilla - 20/09/2011 01:09:40 PM 878 Views
I've long advocated this for the reasons Tom states as well as others. Joel - 21/09/2011 06:49:28 AM 821 Views
I don't know if the Internet is degrading skills, or just giving stupid people a voice beetnemesis - 20/09/2011 02:33:24 PM 951 Views
There is compelling evidence that 9/11 was not what it seemed Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:06:58 PM 931 Views
No, there is not. Tom - 20/09/2011 03:19:43 PM 1026 Views
Well, the circumstances were odd at least Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:26:40 PM 903 Views
As far as conspiracies go ... Nate - 20/09/2011 03:36:35 PM 1007 Views
what would be the motive for the US doing something that stupid? random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:40:31 PM 821 Views
I'm not sure you got my gist. Nate - 20/09/2011 04:46:28 PM 863 Views
I don't think there is any evidience that Bush wanted to attack Iraq before 9-11 random thoughts - 20/09/2011 05:21:09 PM 879 Views
Um. Well, sure, that would be true. If you ignored all the evidence. Nate - 20/09/2011 05:45:23 PM 942 Views
Well if you had argued that some Bush advisers wanted to attack Iraq I would have agreed random thoughts - 20/09/2011 06:35:07 PM 920 Views
But that's what I DID argue. Nate - 20/09/2011 06:47:17 PM 900 Views
sorry but you need to be more precise in your terms random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:37:36 PM 936 Views
I've always seen them as separate. Nate - 21/09/2011 03:33:14 PM 762 Views
and that is why I decided to drop it random thoughts - 21/09/2011 04:07:02 PM 931 Views
Heh. Nate - 21/09/2011 04:15:34 PM 870 Views
And the explicit statement of a Bush Cabinet member. Joel - 21/09/2011 06:59:47 AM 997 Views
I'm still annoyed. Nate - 21/09/2011 01:58:38 PM 804 Views
I stopped responfding when suddenly realized I didn't want to be in a Bush Iraq war debate random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:53:29 PM 810 Views
Admitting error is a sign of weakness; Don Draper said so. Joel - 21/09/2011 05:37:31 PM 843 Views
and I pointed that it was was just continuin gthe Clinton policy random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:30:13 PM 892 Views
Even if that were true, it would still be flip flopping on a central Bush platform plank. Joel - 21/09/2011 05:45:10 PM 924 Views
In addition: Nate - 20/09/2011 05:57:33 PM 1010 Views
sorry but that is nothing more than a simple statement of fact random thoughts - 20/09/2011 06:40:51 PM 944 Views
This is very frustrating. Nate - 20/09/2011 07:05:48 PM 896 Views
For the war on terror? Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:49:12 PM 944 Views
And what was the war on terror supposed to accomplish? random thoughts - 20/09/2011 05:12:11 PM 887 Views
That contradicts the evidence. Tom - 20/09/2011 06:15:48 PM 912 Views
Excuse me? Macharius - 20/09/2011 08:22:21 PM 972 Views
Huh? Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 08:57:14 PM 946 Views
the problem with any other theory is the make no sense random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:36:02 PM 867 Views
Contemplate this.... Jeordam - 20/09/2011 04:27:52 PM 896 Views
You just did not go Star Trek on me Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:44:28 PM 914 Views
And how did you know... Jeordam - 20/09/2011 05:17:10 PM 995 Views
Re: And how did you know... Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:16:26 AM 987 Views
You should watch the pilot episode of the X-Files spin-off series The Lone Gunmen. TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2011 08:19:15 PM 943 Views
humans tend to be very bad at critical thinking random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:58:43 PM 850 Views
Won't help Praziquantel - 20/09/2011 08:15:36 PM 925 Views
Make 'em all take debate. nossy - 20/09/2011 08:23:37 PM 867 Views
Would madam like a cane? Elaine - 20/09/2011 09:19:53 PM 1012 Views
Maybe a walker with tennis balls on the bottom. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2011 10:33:39 PM 420 Views
Do you think it would help? aerocontrols - 21/09/2011 12:09:42 AM 866 Views
Re: We really need to have Logic as a course in high schools. Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:10:08 AM 895 Views
Yeah, and the 100,000 pounds of sudden extra weight slammed into the towers at 400 mph...? Tom - 21/09/2011 01:05:18 AM 885 Views
Not actually the best example Isaac - 21/09/2011 01:56:03 AM 860 Views
what about the hole it cut into the frame of the building? random thoughts - 21/09/2011 03:23:07 AM 893 Views
Wouldn't make much difference Isaac - 21/09/2011 04:08:27 AM 899 Views
OK thanks *NM* random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:55:52 PM 466 Views
The fireproofing was scraped off the steel by the crash, so the beams melted. Aeryn - 21/09/2011 07:35:08 PM 1083 Views
Re: Yeah, and the 100,000 pounds of sudden extra weight slammed into the towers at 400 mph...? Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 03:02:19 AM 917 Views
But how else would they fall down? Aeryn - 21/09/2011 07:42:27 PM 782 Views
You would force Euler on to the masses? Two Wongs - 21/09/2011 03:21:40 PM 943 Views
You could still argue. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:06:51 PM 815 Views
I didn't mean to imply that it is no fun to argue with a like-minded person Two Wongs - 21/09/2011 04:15:47 PM 840 Views
Eh, nobody uses pure logic all of the time anyway. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:43:51 PM 909 Views
Or they could just do more math. Cold, hard, beautiful math. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:01:05 PM 820 Views
I love geometry proofs. Nate - 21/09/2011 04:10:57 PM 959 Views
Me too <3 proofs! *NM* LaSombra - 21/09/2011 07:55:38 PM 450 Views
For pure enjoyment, here's a non math version. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:10:40 PM 862 Views
+1 *NM* Isaac - 21/09/2011 07:59:57 PM 393 Views
Now we are talking... Everyone can benefit from some basic Euclid. jh - 21/09/2011 08:32:17 PM 1083 Views
Ha. Ha. Vivien - 21/09/2011 09:56:38 PM 881 Views
As a follower of Cthulhu, I strongly disagree. Tom - 21/09/2011 11:13:55 PM 1065 Views
I really and truly appreciate your love of pure math for math's sake, but... Tom - 21/09/2011 11:10:03 PM 863 Views
Well, it requires a lot more science to really dispute things than HS can give someone Isaac - 21/09/2011 11:28:29 PM 882 Views
