And yes...I do enjoy belittling religion because it breeds this sort of sheep-like following where "if he said it, it must be true. Ok...well...I don't have any proof at all really, but HE said it".

I have issue with this supposed conspiracy that not even the conspiracy theorists themselves can agree on. How can you present an argument to what the gov't says happened if you don't even know what you are trying to say. We get that they(you) think the gov't had something to do with it, but if you're going to provide an alternative at least agree on what the hell that alternative is.

"if he said it, it must be true. Ok...well...I don't have any proof at all really, but HE said it"

LOL says the one who, with no proof of his own and very weak evidence provided by others, is arguing that the gov't killed thousands of its own people just to get a little more power and get a couple of allies to help us (as if we need it) attack Iraq.

way to dodge the questions, and make up replies to something that wasn't even asked.

I'm not getting into this argument but I just wanted to state that GT was almost completely correct saying that it'd be rare for a building as tall as that to come crashing down in a perfect line.

Yet, I'm not saying it is impossible. Almost everything is possible just give it time, but in a physics calculation that building might as well have been made of wood to not put up with that resistance (besides the fact that wood wouldn't hold shit, just something weaker than metal to say).

You also have to think about the strength of the plane's initial impact on the building. That first connection with a steel beam could make the entire building structurely unsound, depending on the level of engineering each floor was put into mind.

I'm not sure how the building was crafted so I leave no remark on it. Maybe those "terrorists" knew where it's weak points were (from some anonymous person(s)). Everything has it's possibilities until proven otherwise.

first off it didn't fall completely straight, the portion above the crash did tilt. so the crash obviously messed something up. secondly what do you expect, it to just lean over like the leaning tower of pisa and then fall? its not a jenga game, i'm sure it had an extremely strong base to prevent it from just tipping over.
