We know what happened on 9/11.
9/11 is the most investigated criminal act in all of human history with tens of thousands of experts in criminology, aviation, intelligence, physics, structural engineering, forensics and so on from hundreds of agencies both government and private being involved.
In any investigation the accepted hypothesis becomes the one that explains all of the available evidence with the fewest un-supported assumptions. For 9/11 the accepted hypothesis has become the one that describes an operation orchestrated by KSM and OBL recruiting 19 terrorists to hijack 4 commercial airliners and fly them into targets that symbolize American economic, political and military power in order to humiliate the United States for political purpose. This has become the accepted hypothesis precisely because it meets the criteria of explaining ALL of the available evidence with the fewest un-supported assumptions.
Those who claim 9/11 was an "inside job" have never offered a comprehensive alternative hypothesis that explains ALL of the available evidence with fewer un-supported assumptions than what they call the "official story". They have never even tried. Instead the engage in the pointless excercise of JAQ'ing off (Just Asking Questions) when they believe they already have the answers, under the delusion that if they plant just one seed of doubt over some trivial bit of minutia and put it in a Youtube video the whole case will be blown wide open. Once one comes up with a hypothesis, one can begin to properly analyze the argument. Since Conspiracy Theorists never do this, they reach astoundingly ridiculous conclusions like "controlled demolition of the World Trade Center" or "no plane hit the Pentagon". They have no way to vet their own work for quality.
No wonder the Conspiracy Theorists of the 9/11 Truth Movement have accomplished nothing in more than 11 years.
You can have any opinion you want but unless you can offer evidence and a comprehensive, coherent explanation that overturns the mountain of evidence for the 19 terrorists and four airplanes turned up by these experts you won't be changing any minds.
For all of their supposed conviction it is worth noting that not a one of the Conspiracy Theorists is willing to do a thing about it other than get all shouty on some obscure internet forum. Even when they have convinced themselves they have knowledge that blows the case wide open they sit on their hands smug in their own convictions rather than take any action such as say presenting their case to KSM's legal defense team so an innocent man can be set free.
Many Conspiracy Theorists become what they are because they have legitimate concerns about the overreach of government. However, they take it to extremes and in the process destroy their own credibility. There are definitely cases for example where the US Government exploited Sept. 11th for selfish gains, and others where it played legal games that were ultimately counter-productive and dangerous to civil liberties, and these are important topics for discussion. This, of course, doesn't mean "inside job," and bad science and ridiculous claims shouted repeatedly distract heavily from needed investigation of policy. Legitimate concerns become overtaken by delusions and nobody wants to listen to a delusional mind.
There is just too much evidence now that suggests an inside job: the fact that ALL THE WRECKAGE WAS SHIPPED ABROAD as soon as possible, the fact that even ROLLS ROYCE themselves have said that the engine recovered at the Pentagon WAS NOT the type of engine used on the type of plane (b757) that was said to be responsible. The fact that some of the 'hijackers' are still alive: http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLE... the fact that no jets were scrambled in time; that no significant plane debris was found at the pentagon site (planes do not vaporize!); that the buildings seem to be demolished, especially building 7; that jet fuel cannot melt steel, even though molten steel was seen "flowing like lava"; that the first responders heard explosions in the basement and within the buildings before they collapsed etc...
-WTC leaseholder Larry Silverstein admitted that building 7 was pulled down by a controlled demolition:
Four commercial planes were hijacked by a group of terrorists from Al Qaida [sorry for the spelling] and two planes were flown into the World Trade Centers in NYC, one was flown into the Pentagon and the fourth which was delayed, was herorically recaptured by the passengers on hearing the attack on cellphones and caused to crash in an open field!
Some 3,000 people were killed at the WTC collapse while some 200 were killed at the Pentagon.
If any one with a brain in their heads should ask themselves if it was homegrown, why on Earth would the government destroy their own Pentagon??
I believe terrorists had a blazingly SIMPLE plan, ......when they realized they could never smuggle enough explosives in, to do any real damage................they devised a better plan.
How about using airplanes, as the "missles"?
All we will need are some basic flight instructions.............we don't need to know the technically difficult parts of take offs...........(the pilots will do that for us)............we don't need to know how to land it........(not necessary)......we just need to know how to steer the thing, once it's airborne.
You hijack long distance flights, so they are LOADED with fuel.........and you hit targets close to where the hijacking takes places, before anyone has time to intercept.
I think they took adavantage of lax security......and had the element of surprise on their side and got a lucky shot in. They hit 3 of their 4 targets. Not bad for a days work.
Its an unknown secret. C'mon some hijacker can crash a jet into the pentagon, the dept. of defense can't do anything to defend it's headquaters?
Some buildings fell and Americans get all pissed off about it.
I believe it was fabricated.
Some say the tragic events of September 11th, 2001 were homegrown or held an untold secret, while others believe in a terror-related explanation. What do you believe happened?
