Pandorica, you seem sure that no evidence exists for an alternative explantion of 911. I wonder, have you looked or did you just accept the official version of events and seek to confirm it? Be honest.
Also, you seem to think that, while certain interests are served by wars, it is inconceivable that those interests could be involved in inciting conflict. Why is that? I notice you mention oil and Israel with regards to the Iraq war. What role do you think these factors played in the decision to go to warand how does that fit in with the official version of events? |

Good luck with that SC.
Ignoring slarty cos that's just moronic. 2000 posts and not one single scrap of evidence to contradict the 9/11 commission. None will turn up in the next 1000 either, there isn't any. But keep looking if you enjoy the futility of it gents. You can continue to reinforce your confirmation bias, ad nauseum. Or, alternatively, you can stop peering into shadows, read some real history, buy a book on probability and join the rest of us in the world of evidence based reason. Or you could go for: http://www.creationism.org/ It's only a small step further down the path you're on now - ignoring/manipulating evidence is the essential ingredient. WP Ori - you had the foresight and the stamina - a deserving winner. I'll tell you where I am now. I'm oot. |

"Moronic", eh? Another proud upholder of the coincidence theory of 911 resorts to insult. It does your cause no good, boys.
To sum up Pandorica's case against alternative theories to 911: there isn't any evidence because I haven't looked for any and couldn't conceive of the implications of such even if I found any. Confirmation bias anyone? The truth is that ample evidence of means, motive and opportunity exists. But I guess some people just don't want to consider such dark possibilities. I wish blind subscribers to official coincidence theories would devote 1% of the energy they give to attacking "conspiracy theorists" to actually scrutinising the official versions of events. It can be educational and revealing. Perhaps then they might understand the reasons for their suspicions. |

How long are you going to keep proselytizing this rubbish? As has been pointed out on various occasions already the twin towers weren't just on fire, they had been hit with planes. You conveniently keep forgetting this. You are saying that demolition companies do not use nano thermite to demolish buildings. I agree with you on this. Yet the military are not involved in civil demolitions but are involved with nano thermite technology. So,what is your point. |

One passport was found. We would need to know what else was found to compare the probability of this happening. If all the passports of the hijackers were found and nothing else, then yes this would be a smoking gun. This didn't happen. |

Black boxes have been destroyed in other plane crashes. 2 of the 4 black boxes have been recovered.1 from the Pentagon. Even though according to Gene it was a missile. Guess this black box was planted as well then gene. Of course you have no evidence for this. |

On the eve of Sept. 11, Fox News has learned the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency has attempted to block a book about the tipping point in Afghanistan and a controversial pre-9/11 data mining project called "Able Danger."
In a letter obtained by Fox News, the DIA says national security could be breached if "Operation Dark Heart" is published in its current form. The agency also attempted to block key portions of the book that claim "Able Danger" successfully identified hijacker Mohammed Atta as a threat to the United States before the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. Every country has censorship were national security is involved for obvious reasons.No country is totally free. Never has been. Never will be. |

Replies: 554 13 Sep 10 00:20 CHIEF: OK, so we're blowing up these buildings and blaming the collapse on fire. DEPUTY: But buildings don't collapse due to fire. The entire world engineering community will smell a rat. CHIEF: Listen, we will say that the impact of the aircraft and the aviation fuel caused the collapse. We will tell NIST not to mention the Nano stuff. DEPUTY: Erm but WTC 7 will not be hit by any aircraft, what should we say about this one? CHIEF: Blame the office fires and any damage caused by debris. We will say we stored deisel in the building. Everyone will be on our side by then anyway, we will have our scientists come up with something. Apart from the official version says that the diesel fuel on the premises had nothing to do with the collapse of the building. AG you really should do some research before you start tapping on your keyboard. You wouldn't keep showing your self up then. Lack of water was the main problem. NIST determined that diesel fuel did not play an important role, nor did the structural damage from the collapse of the twin towers. But the lack of water to fight the fire was an important factor. The fires burned out of control during the afternoon, including on floor 13, where a critical interior column buckled. With the buckling of that column, adjacent columns also failed along with the floor structure above. This triggered a vertical progression of floor failures to the roof. The collapse then progressed east-to-west across the structure, and ultimately the entire structure collapsed. The fires, fueled by office contents, along with the lack of water, were the key reasons for the collapse.[45] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_World_Trade_Center |

Incorrect?
Al-Suqami's passport was found by a passerby, reportedly in the vicinity of Vesey Street,before the towers collapsed. (This was mistakenly reported by many news outlets to be Mohamed Atta's passport.) A columnist for the British newspaper The Guardian expressed incredulity about the authenticity of this report,questioning whether a paper passport could survive the inferno unsinged when the plane's black boxes were never found. According to testimony before the 9/11 Commission by lead counsel Susan Ginsburg, his passport had been "manipulated in a fraudulent manner in ways that have been associated with al Qaeda." Passports belonging to Ziad Jarrah and Saeed al Ghamdi were found at the crash site of United Airlines flight #93 as well as an airphone masher is correct. You are incorrect. The original poster said the passport was found in the rubble of the twin towers. This is not correct. It was found before the collapse. |

Replies: 534 13 Sep 10 16:46 dont really get the passport issue - surely on impact there was an explosion which could have blown personal belongings (bags etc) away from the crash scene and stopping them from burning the black box i assume would be attatched to the plane and remain there to fry in the inferno Correct. If you watch the videos of the plane crashing you can see items fly straight through the building. One poor passenger was found on top of a near by building. No mystery here. |

Replies: 82 14 Sep 10 12:42 AG, is the Evan Fairbanks footage a fake in your opinion? If so, what are the inconsistencies that led you to this conclusion? Doesn't have to be scientific, just in plain english (angle is wrong, plane is too big/small, something like that). I'll take a look at the evidence and try and calculate you are right or wrong. Good luck with that one re raise. I've been asking AG for evidence for his beliefs for weeks now. he just ignores me. May be you will have more luck. |

Replies: 127 14 Sep 10 19:33 re raise Just reading through this thread there is far too much bouncing around. We all want the truth right? I'm happy to look at one thing at a time... No no no no no - it doesn't work like that re-raise. I'm not the first to say it, nor will I be the last but what we're engaged in here is a version of "Whack-a-Mole." You can take to pieces any one aspect of the "Truthers", (misnomer if ever there was one, argument but another one will pop up just down the road. And of course there is no "Truther" alternative 'total view' of events. They are happy to pick supposed holes in the oficial view but ask for a coherent needle to thread alternative and you'll get a million different versions - literally one per "Truther". In other words, this committed group actually make no committment at all in real terms. Look at this clown: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reQZT9Hzvt8&feature=related "A cartoon display..." "We don't really understand how they did that..." "We don't understand everything about the crime..." "We don't have that kind of knowledge..." That guy works/worked at a University - God help us. Sadly this is true.By trying to answer one or two unanswered question about 9/11 they produce hundreds more. They have obviously never heard of Occam's razor. |

Replies: 2164 16 Sep 10 13:26 Just watched that programme on C4 from last week. The wife of that fella that "stormed" the cockpit on flight 93 was talking about what happened. She said her husband had "overheard the hijackers talking about crashing the plane into a field" So,the hijackers who are locked in the cockpit with the crew can be overheard from outside discussing that they intend to crash the plane into a field. Why would they do that? Sparky was telling me on here last week that the hijackers decided to crash the plane as a least worst option,as they knew they would soon be overun,by the unarmed passengers. But the passengers haven't even began to try to take over the plane yet,because our hero has only just overheard the hijackers discussing their plan. Right:The Hijackers are now deciding that they will crash their plane into a field,rather than their intended target,before anyone has even thought about taking over the plane? It doesn't really make sense does it? What was the programme called? I will take a look. |

You on the other had are programmed just to make silly assertions. Evidence means nothing to your kind. Our media does not report any balanced reports regarding Israel. Who said anything about the media. You think I get my views from the media? You are begging the question. I do my own research. I have recently read a Case for Israel and Beyond Chutzpah for balance. Even a fool like yourself should now know our mainstream media is under the control of the global elite. HaHa.Yet again you have to go back to ad hominem arguments because you can't back up your assertions. Pathetic. The percentage of those not believing the 9/11 Commission report is at its lowest 30% yet we see now documentation on this subject. Again you give no source.46% believe the 9/11 commission report.In the UK it is 57% http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks_opinion_polls The walls are falling down Sunset and you will soon realise what a fool you was to believe in this lie. Next they will be trying to stitch up muslims for plotting to kill the Pope!

I agree that we seem to have differences in what we perceive as reality, just because you are siding with the official version of events does it is the truth. We cant understand how you cant see this has been a monsterous cover up. We can't understand why you keep ignoring the facts and evidence. I can't begin to understand your mentality.

Newly obtained video that was reluctantly released by NIST after a lawsuit by the International Center for 9/11 Studies shows two firefighters on 9/11 discussing how secondary explosions occurred immediately before the collapse of the twin towers, providing damning new evidence that explosive devices were used to bring down the buildings.

^ Ooooh, I wonder why Nist didn't want this released.

Interesting video. But not conclusive of anything.
A couple of things to remember regarding apparent explosions: 1) Controlled demolitions traditionally occur from the bottom up. Not from the top down, as appeared to be the case with the Twin Towers. So how would any apparent explosions in the lower floors be connected with the collapse? What would the collpase mechanism be? 2) The use of the word "explosions" does not necessarily imply the use of explosive devices. Most people have no experience of explosive devices and use the word to refer to a variety of sudden loud bangs. 3) The word "explosions" can be used to refer to a number of phenomena that can be experienced in a fire, eg a crashing lift, an exploding gas mains, etc, all of which would have some of the symptoms of an explosion caused by an explosive device (eg loud noise, pressure wave, outburst of flames, etc). None of this means that explosive devices were not heard or used. It just means that eye/ear-witness of "explosions" and "bombs" is very difficult to weigh and, by itself, may be of little value. |

Any explosions would have transfered energy throughout the Towers, therefore affecting any weakened areas. ie above the impact of the crash.
