Well, the circumstances were odd at least Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 20/09/2011 03:26:40 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.


The only problem I have with the "official" story is that it takes a lot of coincidences to make it work, just like the ones you listed. Is it impossible? No. But it just feels...dirty to me. The buildings collapsed just like a controlled demolition. But I do concede that all these odd coincidences are possible. I'm not as nutty as this conspiracy nut that I talked to last week. He claimed that the hijackers, and even Osama Bin Laden, were on the CIA payroll. People like to think that he government is capable of anything but that's pushing it!

We really need to have Logic as a course in high schools. Tom - 20/09/2011 06:50:36 AM 1423 Views
Logic classes would be good in schools. Timthetrolloc - 20/09/2011 10:23:56 AM 959 Views
Ugh. Ghavrel - 20/09/2011 11:30:59 AM 1001 Views

Something tells me that no matter who answered your questions you wouldn't believe anyway. everynametaken - 21/09/2011 02:16:52 AM 914 Views
this is a controlled demolition Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:20:09 AM 1042 Views
That is an incredibly stupid argument. Tom - 21/09/2011 01:12:38 AM 974 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 1001 Views

Agreed Camilla - 20/09/2011 01:09:40 PM 921 Views
I've long advocated this for the reasons Tom states as well as others. Joel - 21/09/2011 06:49:28 AM 859 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 993 Views
There is compelling evidence that 9/11 was not what it seemed Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:06:58 PM 981 Views
No, there is not. Tom - 20/09/2011 03:19:43 PM 1088 Views
Well, the circumstances were odd at least Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:26:40 PM 955 Views
As far as conspiracies go ... Nate - 20/09/2011 03:36:35 PM 1053 Views
what would be the motive for the US doing something that stupid? random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:40:31 PM 859 Views
I'm not sure you got my gist. Nate - 20/09/2011 04:46:28 PM 908 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 926 Views
Um. Well, sure, that would be true. If you ignored all the evidence. Nate - 20/09/2011 05:45:23 PM 995 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 964 Views
But that's what I DID argue. Nate - 20/09/2011 06:47:17 PM 946 Views
sorry but you need to be more precise in your terms random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:37:36 PM 993 Views
I've always seen them as separate. Nate - 21/09/2011 03:33:14 PM 813 Views
and that is why I decided to drop it random thoughts - 21/09/2011 04:07:02 PM 977 Views
Heh. Nate - 21/09/2011 04:15:34 PM 921 Views
And the explicit statement of a Bush Cabinet member. Joel - 21/09/2011 06:59:47 AM 1043 Views
I'm still annoyed. Nate - 21/09/2011 01:58:38 PM 848 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 853 Views
Admitting error is a sign of weakness; Don Draper said so. Joel - 21/09/2011 05:37:31 PM 888 Views
and I pointed that it was was just continuin gthe Clinton policy random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:30:13 PM 935 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 977 Views
In addition: Nate - 20/09/2011 05:57:33 PM 1056 Views
sorry but that is nothing more than a simple statement of fact random thoughts - 20/09/2011 06:40:51 PM 986 Views
This is very frustrating. Nate - 20/09/2011 07:05:48 PM 937 Views
For the war on terror? Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:49:12 PM 991 Views
And what was the war on terror supposed to accomplish? random thoughts - 20/09/2011 05:12:11 PM 932 Views
That contradicts the evidence. Tom - 20/09/2011 06:15:48 PM 958 Views
Excuse me? Macharius - 20/09/2011 08:22:21 PM 1022 Views
Huh? Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 08:57:14 PM 994 Views
the problem with any other theory is the make no sense random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:36:02 PM 926 Views
Contemplate this.... Jeordam - 20/09/2011 04:27:52 PM 949 Views
You just did not go Star Trek on me Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:44:28 PM 969 Views
And how did you know... Jeordam - 20/09/2011 05:17:10 PM 1037 Views
Re: And how did you know... Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:16:26 AM 1033 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 987 Views
humans tend to be very bad at critical thinking random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:58:43 PM 890 Views

Would madam like a cane? Elaine - 20/09/2011 09:19:53 PM 1057 Views
Maybe a walker with tennis balls on the bottom. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2011 10:33:39 PM 439 Views
Do you think it would help? aerocontrols - 21/09/2011 12:09:42 AM 916 Views
Re: We really need to have Logic as a course in high schools. Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:10:08 AM 952 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 921 Views
Not actually the best example Isaac - 21/09/2011 01:56:03 AM 911 Views
what about the hole it cut into the frame of the building? random thoughts - 21/09/2011 03:23:07 AM 931 Views
Wouldn't make much difference Isaac - 21/09/2011 04:08:27 AM 942 Views
OK thanks *NM* random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:55:52 PM 487 Views
The fireproofing was scraped off the steel by the crash, so the beams melted. Aeryn - 21/09/2011 07:35:08 PM 1131 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 964 Views
But how else would they fall down? Aeryn - 21/09/2011 07:42:27 PM 830 Views
You would force Euler on to the masses? Two Wongs - 21/09/2011 03:21:40 PM 987 Views
You could still argue. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:06:51 PM 863 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 882 Views
Eh, nobody uses pure logic all of the time anyway. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:43:51 PM 951 Views
Or they could just do more math. Cold, hard, beautiful math. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:01:05 PM 876 Views
I love geometry proofs. Nate - 21/09/2011 04:10:57 PM 1002 Views
Me too <3 proofs! *NM* LaSombra - 21/09/2011 07:55:38 PM 472 Views
For pure enjoyment, here's a non math version. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:10:40 PM 911 Views

Ha. Ha. Vivien - 21/09/2011 09:56:38 PM 931 Views
As a follower of Cthulhu, I strongly disagree. Tom - 21/09/2011 11:13:55 PM 1118 Views
I really and truly appreciate your love of pure math for math's sake, but... Tom - 21/09/2011 11:10:03 PM 906 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 925 Views
