9/11 Conspiracy Theories

[Atlas]

Today, after watching some sweet History Channel, I decided to look up some 9/11 conspiracy theory vids on youtube. A lot of these theories have gotten press.

For example, why did the Boeing plane have an extra piece of equipment on the bottom of it? Boeing refused to reply about this. Or the Pentagon missile theory.

Here are some of the major videos that touch the bigger picture, I believe. Personally, I really do not know what happened that day. I do believe that it is not fully uncovered, though.

Anyways, does anyone believe they have the clear picture regarding this ordeal? If so, please feel free to voice your opinion on the matter.

Here are two videos. Feel free to watch or to not watch.

All of these conspiracy theories have been debunked 20,000 times. And I can't believe you're actually posting a link to Loose Change.

I've got nothing. I was just bored and figured it might catch some interesting conversation.

Guess not. :P

That's the only explanation! ;)

This conspiracy theory is a lot like other conspiracies. There are legitimate questions that may not have been answered, but that doesn't mean you jump to the most absurd conclusion possible. I support a lot of these nutjobs in that the attacks should be investigated further (and that related film and documentation be declassified), but if there's any real cover-up, it's over negligence, not malicious intent.

For example, why did the Boeing plane have an extra piece of equipment on the bottom of it?There wasn't an additional piece; even the other footage linked in the first video blatantly shows nothing on the under-side. Boeing didn't respond to questions because they weren't done through proper channels and because it's ****ing idiotic.

Or the Pentagon missile theory.This is probably the single dumbest idea of the lot. Sure, if you could negate all the eye-witness accounts of a jetliner cresting the Arlington Cemetery hill and then hitting the ground right as it hit the Pentagon, it would be viable... until questions such as "Where was the missile fired from? Why are the no eye-witnesses saying that they saw the tell-tale missile glare? Why didn't commercial satellites and surveillance capture any traces of the missile or its launch? Why was the damage done to the Pentagon not coherent with the damage that results from a missile (explosive damage, not impact, ala what actually happened)?"

Here are some of the major videos that touch the bigger picture, I believe.The first video is definitely the more idiotic of the two: the mystery piece that the narrator thinks he sees on the underside of the plane suddenly disappears in all the other footage, he thinks the impact from the fuselage into the building is actually a missile being fired, and overall the guy is giant douche. Anyways, why the **** would a missile need to be fired??? A jetliner of that size would do more damage than any conventional missile ever could.

The second movie ignores physics and assumes that the collapse was pancaking, with the top falling and then hitting another floor, causing that to fall. Pancaking is not what occurred; the buildings lost their structural integrity when the center part of the floors were giving out, causing the support beams on the outside to bend inwards, eventually leading to catastrophic failure. We see the spouts of smoke occur because the insides of the buildings fell before the exoskeleton did.

Personally, I really do not know what happened that day. I do believe that it is not fully uncovered, though.19 Saudis hijacked 4 planes and flew them into 3 different buildings and a field in Pennsylvania. They were able to do so because our government completely ignored credible sources citing an imminent attack, which they are now trying feverishly to cover up.

There, now you know what happened.

Hey, cool. More conspiracies.

Here's one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuBo4E77ZXo)

I know a lot of people who believe this sort of thing, namely that the government did it. I just can't believe how anyone would give them that much credit to think they could possible stage something like that.

but the bottom line is, what difference does it really make? In the impossible scenario that 'they' did it, nobody's ever gonna know, they already got away with it, damage done. It's like the Kennedy assassination.
