False conclusion, Rump. You conveniently leave out the melting, even burning, of the building's steel frame, caused by the airliner's fuel.
Okay. Please tell me how kerosene manages to "burn steel"?
It doesn't.
However, it did make the fire burn in a non-uniform way which increased the stress until a buckling failure caused the floors to collapse. After that, it was all gravity. The reason for the failure is explained in detail in the link I provided. And it's from a non-governmental expert source. |

I was commenting on the first part, where the narrator claims her is a missile attached to the aircraft, which w fired just prior to impact. No visual evidence. I just don't see what he's talking about! I'll watch the rest, but I already think the narrator is a liar or nutcase.
The narrator never mentions the word "missile". He points to an amoalie on the underside of the alleged Flight 175. And if you saw no physical evidence, then where do you get the concept of a "missile" from?

Because the narrator clearly stated that a "missile" was launched from the plane, just before impact. Did YOU watch the video?

I get the feeling you here have made up your minds, and I'd be wasting my efforts.
And I think you guys want me to propse my final conclusion, because (a) you're heard it before, (b) you've rendered it lunacy or idiocy in your minds, and (c) you don't want to hear contrary information. That's fine, I don't particualrly want to discuss this with anyone who's head in comfortably in the sand. I do however, wonder what the word "skeptic" has to do with this website.
I see comment s about potentioal government evil... yet this is somehow beyond the bounds of that? If you're only explanation for anything is "that couldn't happen here", you may have a serious problem.
I feel there is enough evidence to AT LEAST warrant another, truly bi-partisan, truly independent investigation of this event. If you have actually read the 9/11 Commission Report, and done further examination of the claims of this government hoax, and STILL feel satisfied with what you've been told... then welcome to your world. I hope for your sake, that there is not another false-flag attack.
I'm out of here. Best of luck with your reality. |

My heart (and brain) is telling me to check with a structal engineer. Building are not simple boxes, they are very complex structers. The WTC was one of the most complex, and once it was damaged enough it would fall apart and go nearly straight down as it pancaked on itself.
Besides, I don't think the building your showing in your pic is WTC7. At least, it doesn't match my memory of WTC7 from the news casts. |

A kerosene fire with good venelation will certainly get hot enough to turn steel bright red, and in a rather short time. The structure gets hot enough to soften and the sheer tonnage above the strike point brings down the buildings.
The alternetive is a controlled implosion caused by intentionally set, high explosives, notably shaped charges. To set these charges is no task of a moment. It requirs a number of personell tearing out walls to get at the structure, and would take a lot of time and effort to get it just right. I don't see how it could have been done surriptitiously.
While I think that the foul Bush administration would have been perfectly capable of of such a thing, if they'd thought of it, until better evidence comes along I'll have to grudgingly give them a pass.
I do not, however, absolve the treasonous bastards of ignoring some information and cherry-picking the rest. To that extent at least, they are responsible and should be driven from office if not jailed.

Even though Rumpl4skn says he's gone (that was fast!), I'll respond anyway, just in case he changed his mind:

Many people here have made up their minds, but they've done so because they've already exercised their skepticism: they have heard these arguments before, they considered the evidence, did their own research, and concluded that the conspiracy theories about 9-11 were weak. It's a shame you want to give up so quickly. You've only started posting your evidence, and people immediately responded with perfectly logical explanations. That's not the kind of response from people who have their heads in the sand.
Also, if you check out some of the other discussions, you'll see that this is hardly a group that exhibits group think, or that strictly adheres to mainstream modes of thought. So it looks to me like you are giving up so quickly because nobody here agrees with you, not because the other participants are out of touch with reality. If you give up so soon, it is truly your loss.

I'm well aware of the 9/11 conspiracy belief and have even seen the movies. My neighbor has hundreds of 'underground' DVDs on radical political topics, (some are pretty good and very enlightening.) I was absolutely unimpressed by the evidence presented about the 9/11 conspiracy. While there may be a few not well explained pieces such as the towers collapsing, there are a vast many more inexplicable pieces if one excepts the premise of a conspiracy.
Welcome to SFN, BTW. And see ya round, as well, I guess.

Look in the mirror...it is you who is guilty of what you say we are...
Just because we don't agree with your conclusions, we are then "close-minded"?
It is you who has made up your mindn and we'd be wasting our efforts.
It is you who has rendered it lunacy or idiocy to belive otherwise,
It is you who doesn't want to hear contrary information.
And it is you who has you head in a conspiracy sandbank.
Best of luck with your reality. Of course since you aren't willing to openly debate facts here with people who can challenge your assertions, you'll run along to another internet "echo chamber" where you can preach to the converted.

Sorry, only meant I was out of here to do my remodeling - I'm up to my ears in sawdust this week, not as much time to post up as I usually have. But no, I don't see me making a lot of headway in here, people seem to be convinced and uninterested in another look. I'm convinced the other way, and I admit that. But I don't label those on the other side as lunatics - we all believe what we believe.
Incidentally, I apologize - I posted the wrong video like for Loose Change 2. That one was the first edition. 2nd edition is far better, and that's why HalfMoon's comments about the missile threw me. Sorry for that, HalfMooner.

As far as our government's "ineptitude" making it unlikely they'd have pulled this off - (a) this is NOT purely a government op. Elements within the government have been complicit. But it wasn't something George W. Bush drew up on a desk. And (b) don't mistake the mess in Iraq as something that may have been deliberately constructed to simply destabilize, by the power elite. The BushKlan were along for the ride on 9/11, but they didn't write the script, and the elements that have benefitted from the Iraq War are the defense contractors. They're not that interested in Dubya's "democracy installation" concept - they want to see ordnance destroyed and equipment re-ordered, period. It's all about the weapons sales.

WHy don't you start with your single best piece of evidence that the 9/11 events were something other than a terrorist attack.
Just take the one bit that you think is the most compelling and lay it out for us.
That way the discussion atleast has some starting point other than you just dropping a steaming pile of unevidenced assertions into the compost heap.
You must understand that this is a skeptic forum. All claims of fact are subject to question, none will be accepted unless you can provide evidence that can withstand scrutiny and the application of basic logic.
