A fair bit of guess-work and opinion, but also some very prickly stuff, espeically the testaments of the firefighters (and a ton of other technical stuff about why it's highly unlikely that what hit the Pentagon was a 737).

Probably will be filed under "Crackpots, 9-11" as usual but, as someone on another website said, I'd like to see "the other side" comment on some on the stronger points before dismissing him as yet another conspiracy nutter......

I think it must be human nature, I was arguing with someone last night who was convinced Diana was killed by the "Establishment." I think people just cannot accept a "prosaic" cause to an enormous event and think that there must have been something more.

757 wasn't it?

757 and a 767. The 737 always comes up when the conspiracy theorists get together.

Says who?

I'm no great believer in a conspiracy, but someone is telling the truth and, to be honest, both "sides" of the story as as fantastical as the other. Do I think the current (and any) administration has the propensity and the motivation to cover up "the truth". Absolutely.

Oh god what a load of tripe.....

Missile fired seconds before impact?

Bombs carried under the first plane that crashed into one of the towers?

Yeah right..... come on.... what a load of crap.

This stuff has been covered again and again. Each and every time "evidence" is produced to show that a plane doesnt just disintergrate or explode with such force on impact. Well, take a look at the following:

Fair enough, though there's a slight irony in attempting to debunk one video claiming to portray "evidence" with....erm....another video claiming to portray evidence to the contrary....

I do wonder though, if theories were reversed, would people still blindly believe the "official line" and dismiss the idea of "evil terrorist flying US planes into US buildings" as crackpot conspiracy?

Hey, in this crazy world we live in - anything can, and probably will, happen. I wouldnt rule anything out based on what we have seen the last 25 years, never mind jumping back another 80-odd....

I mean, if you had said to a man at the turn of the 20th century that we would land on the moon, he might believe you. But if we went on to explain that one man would dedicate his live to the eradication of the jews and gypsies while attempting to conquer the world, he might be a little sceptical. Never mind presidential assasinations and planes crashing into buildings!!! We have barely touched this century and we have had massive natural disasters and crazies targetting Londons underground (who were British!).

What next? I shudder to think!!!
