Penguins is an idiot then.

Popular Science/Mechanics has had article(s) about the towers, PBS had episodes about the Towers.

Of you haven't at least heard or read about some Sane, Level Headed explanation that wasn't based on fiction you must be intentionally avoiding them.

Why, why do you think bush would ram 2 planes with people on board in to 2 towers which probably costed millions of dollars and killed TONS of people(some comitting suicide) that, a president would never do (also a plane with passengers crashed on the pentagon too)

I'll take this one.

The towers collapsed because steel begins losing its strength at temperatures well below its melting point. The fires from the fuel burned hot enough and long enough for the structure to lose the strength needed to support the floors above. Once they started falling, the floors beneath them were unable to withstand the kinetic energy of the structure, causing the towers to collapse the way they did.

As for the Pentagon, well, you ever consider the possibility that nobody happened to have a camera on them at the time? It is the Pentagon, after all; I don't think they'd be happy with random people carting cameras around.

There is footage, it was taken by a C-130 transport plane, and there is mention of it in the 9/11 Commission Report. The video, with enhanced detail so that you can see that it is in fact an airliner, is here.

If you really believe in a 9/11 conspiracy involving the attacks themselves, well, I can't say much other than you're a damn fool.

If you want to believe there's a conspiracy behind consistent failures to prevent terror attacks, well, I believe you there. Either American law enforcement is full of fucking idiots or someone doesn't want to prevent terrorism.

What do people have to gain to make up this stuff. Do you think it makes us feel good to think our goverment may have been responsible. Hell no it doesn't. And notice since 9/11 the goverment has granted itself more power than ever before. For instance the Patriot Act. Man thats a nice bill to have if you want control over the people. Legal Wire tappings, no search warrants required if they really want. Man Looks like the Goverment has a little more to gain than the so called Conspirators.

Now, you tell me the government killed all those people, and got a Al Queda to take the credit, you tell me that Bush or Cheney lived with that for almost 9 years now? Bush has been called stupid, but I doubt he is a killer.

No the reason why you didn't keep on watching is because your afraid that you might see something that might be different then what the goverment tells you and he didn't say that planes don't start fires he said planes don't start fires that are hot enough to melt steel buildings.

Yea it does, and if that isn't enough incentive you've also got all the loose change t-shirts, coffee mugs, bumper stickers, and the massive ratings spike Alex Jones has gotten for his radio show by spouting batshit lunacy.

And notice since 9/11 the goverment has granted itself more power than ever before. For instance the Patriot Act. Man thats a nice bill to have if you want control over the people.

Name one tragedy that politicians have not exploited to get what they want.

Attention.

That took a whole 0.58 seconds for me to figure out.

Why not try asking why Boxxybabee made her videos? Same reason. Attention. The people who continue to perpetuate the 9/11 conspiracy via videos are attention whores, the end.

No he pointed at the flight 93 crash sight and said "Look! No fire, that's because planes don't start fires!!"

Also, you don't need to turn steel into a liquid to compromise it's ability to bare weight.

It's more tantalizing to consider fantasies about sex than sex with whoever.

It's more tantalizing to consider theories about terrorism involving the government blowing shit up than it is to consider something that has been in the news every time a terror attack happens.

Not familiar with the Reichstag fire are we? Set by a Dutch Anarchist it gave the NSDAP the clout it needed to force President von Hindenburg to sign Hitler's legislation into law.

You just contridicted yourself.
You said planes don't start fires.
Then you said that the planes that crashed into the towers started a fire hot enough to melt steel.
So which is it, do they start fires or do they not start fires.
What he was saying is that the planes that crashed into the towers started a fire so then why didn't the supposed flight 93 not start a fire and thats not the point of the video so just finish watching it and then deny it.
