I want you to read what I am about to print extremely carefully, because as it is, you are coming off like a total retard.

Bill Whittle wrote an article about conspiracy theories a while back that had a great point. The reason people believe in them is because their brains are unable to process the possibility that a lone man, or a small group of men, can change the entire course of history. That’s why you have the US groverment causing 9/11. That’s why you have second gunmen shooting Kennedy. That’s why you have aliens building the pyramids. Conspiracy theorists, like yourselves, are so disdainful of humanity that you refuse to accept that any or all of us could be capable of doing something to alter the universe.

1) That building that, as you so eloquently put it, “collapsed into its own footprint”? Well, it DIDN’T. It fell OVER, spilling debris all over adjacent streets. Did you ever visit the WTC before it fell? They were office buildings. And as such, they used cantilevered construction, which allows large buildings to have open spaces such as atriums, call centers, and nested cubicles. It is essentially a three-axis form of keystone construction. A few small bumps on the wrong part of the building, and the whole thing could come down…and if it does, it will tend to collapse in starting at the point of impact.

2) A controlled demolition is an temporal impossibility. The WTC offices had workers in them 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. A controlled demo requires months of planning, a huge amount of explosive, and the removal of many layers of sheetrock, concrete and structural steel. SOMEONE would have noticed this. And there’s no way it can be done overnight.

3) Controlled demos take place from the bottom up, not the top down. This is for two reasons: 1) to minimize the length of primercord that has to be run, and 2) because top-down demo is too hard to control.

4) A controlled demo has to be done on-site, and detonators are extremely large and hard to hide. SOMEONE WOULD HAVE SEEN.

5) There were multiple credible, sober-minded eyewitnesses who saw the plane go into the Pentagon, as well as debris bearing the airline’s logo, matching the rivet pattern (as unique as a fingerprint) of the plane.

6) Ever seen a plane hit a concrete wall? I have. Planes are hollow, made of aluminum, and are highly flexible, which is how they stay in the air. A simple rebar-enforced thick concrete wall is enough to obliterate the average plane. The Pentagon is a military fortress, with the walls fortified to resist truck bombs like the one in Oklahoma City. That the plane made it 3 levels into the building is surprising, but made possible by the fact that that particular wing was undergoing renovations and had not yet been reinforced.

7) Fire melts steel, because fire MAKES steel. Take a look at this:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/04/29/BAGVOPHQU46.DTL

This is the I-580 overpass at I-980 and Highway 24 in Oakland, California. On April 29, 2007, a gasoline tanker crashed and caught fire underneath this bridge. The gas fire melted – MELTED! – the steel – STEEL! – understructure of the overpass, causing it to collapse. Note this was an open-air fire, not in an enclosed, heat-trapping structure like the WTC towers would be. Jet fuel flooding the sub-basements would have caused an extremely rapid rise in temperature. Even if the collapse were not due to the steel completely melting, a fire at 1500-1800 degrees – which scientists say was a CONSERVATIVE estimate – can weaken the structural integrity of steel by as much at 50%. In addition, rapid heating or cooling causes additional strees on top of that. Add in the added weight of the initial post-impact collapse, and the chances for a structural failure increased at a geometric rate. The fire and subsequent collapse could then easily have resulted in undermining the integrity of WTC7’s foundation, contributing to its subsequent failure.

8) What happened to all the people that were on the planes? If a missile hit the Pentagon and another hit in Shanksville, you have two full planes unaccounted for. If the government killed them, where are the bodies?

9) If the planes themselves were a hoax, and the government orchestrated the attacks, and the WTC workers never noticed anything, you have a conspiracy of, literally, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people, not one of whom has come forward with any evidence or statements, not one of whom has testified, not one of whom has taken the fame, fortune and glory that such an exposing would bring. The bigger a conspiracy, the higher chance there is of someone being a stoolie. Just ask John Dillinger.

10) The Pentagon was hit from a parallel angle, close to the ground. Missiles tend to fly in a high arc, for the sake of accuracy. Given the terrain surrounding the Pentagon, it would be impossible for a guided missile to hit that building without being fired from VERY close nearby…close enough to have been noticed by any number of observers.

11) The tip of the wing of the plane that hit the Pentagon scraped the ground before it went in. Missiles don’t have wings, and therefore couldn’t have made the mark.

So, in sommary: 9/11 was perpetrated by pissed-off Muslims, you and all your conspiracy theorist friends are morons, and OJ did it.

CASE F*CKING CLOSED.
