  1. Loose Change and alternative news like on democracynow.org convinced me long ago that the only people that attacked N.Y. that day was the USA. People would buy shit on a stick if packaged nicely. Follow the money folx.

  2. Agreed! What happened that day has nothing to do with Islam or Terrorists…Ask yourself this, how can 2 towers made of over a tonne of steel collapse is a couple of hours form jetfuel, it doesn’t burn hot enough to melt a friggin tower made of steel…i’ll bet there were a couple of strategically placed bombs in those towers.

  3. Helluva conspiracy theory but that’s all it is without real proof. So as soon as you get it book some time on 60 minutes and I’ll watch.Until then, if you need any extra tinfoil for your hat I just bought a roll.

  4. Perhaps bombs were detonated to insure the protection of the surrounding dowtown quarter, but to dispute that the attacks actually happened seems like the beginning of a debate among highschoolers. The attacks on the WTC were only one among a multitude of others happening on the same day and later on – lets recall that terrorist organizations took credit for the attacks in London and Madrid. It’s been shown that Al Quaida has significant brain power and solid funding sources. An attack such as the WTC one could have very well been orchestrated given those ressources.Though I don’t believe that all arabs are out to get us, I would go on to say that some terrorists organizations are based in countries that have reasons to be upset about their economic and political situation. As to whether their misery should be blamed on the US is a whole other debate. To conclude the comments posted on this thread reflect an ignorance and anger – it would be interesting to wonder what would happen if people with such feelings were placed in environments where dying as a martyr is lauded and applauded.

  5. Controlled demolition BOOM! What a miracle that these towers happened to fall straight down I was there shortly after 9/11, if these towers would not have fallen as the did it would have wiped out half of the Financial District. I believe that the whole mess was orchestrated by the Bush Administration for grounds to attack Iraq, Afghanistan. A great piece in the Journal (SMU) last week, reinforced something I always believed. Your right banjon follow the money.

  6. If you got that info from GoTime then you’d be better off reading the printed schedule. Ever see the driver push the button on his GoTime communications console as he’s leaving the first timing point of the run? That is what tells go time he’s leaving the stop but GoTime doesn’t account for the fact that he might be leaving that point 5 minutes later than scheduled and therefore won’t be dragging his ass while he tries to make up time. Simply put – GoTime doesn’t work the way it was supposed to and while HRM has issued bids for a revamp of the system it’ll be a while longer before you see “real time” GoTime results.Another suggestion would be to get to the stop a few moments before you need to catch it. As a transit user there is nothing more frustrating than having to wait for those who can’t make it to the stop a couple of minutes before the bus departs. I refuse to ask the driver to stop when people arrive late and chase after the bus. I’d prefer to get to my destination on time and that means getting to the bus stop on time.

  7. I’m not saying things are always what they seem, but what you BAs keep ranting about…melting steel, well things don’t have to melt to fail. Heat is a measure of energy not temperature, and two large-ass jets…that’s a helluva lot of energy given off at one time.

  8. so let’s get this straight ME!!!, you think 911 was actually done by the american government on their own people instead of terrorists? riiiiiight…

  9. ‘every time the U.S. has gone to war, pretext incidents have been used. upon later examinaiton, the conventional perception of these events is always challenged and eventually exposed as untrue” richard sanders’if, indeed, september 11 was caused solely by al qaeda, then that would be the first time in history that the U.S. hasn’t used ‘deception’ to start a military war” barrie zwicker, both from: globalresearch.caobvious & large scale insider trading suggests wall street foreknowledgewtc7.net, building was ‘pulled’ that day when it usually takes weeks to get permits, which means bombs were already in placeNYC firfeighters heard multiple explosions like when a building is imploded, strange security drills (evacuations) were performed in the weeks leading up to 911 & bomb sniffing dogs who normally ‘do their rounds’ were not used normal protocal in a situation where airplanes are offcourse is for military jets to be sent up to intercept, this did not happen, this means there was a call from high up ..’do not intercept’there was no evidence of a plane at the pentagon and no fuel clean-up was ever performed, the FBI confiscated all videotapes from nearby businesses that may have caught the action, then over 4 years later released a few second clip that proved nothing, if the US gov’t has nothing to hide why all the secrecy & cover-up?i could continue 2 list more but i would rather u did ur own research 2 those of u who just can’t believe that the american government would do this or allow this 2 happen 2 its own people, u better open your eyes because its not the 1st time it has happened and it wont b the last

  10. An inside job? Sure. How about by the terrorists themselves? Isnt feasible if they took years to conceive the plane crashes they could also set up the demolition of the buildings? Anyway, my problem isnt your theories but how you guys are trying to force your ideas on your friends like some religious fanatics. Stop it before you lose all your friends.

  11. No, it’s true. It was reported that the jets flying into the towers were military – NOT commercial – jets. The towers fell straight down. The firefighters nearby reported hearing a “boom boom boom boom boom”, almost like explosives, going off in the buildings as they fell. There is video evidence of an igniting machine that sparks just as the planes hit the buildings, to set off the fuel and make a pretty explosion. There is no photographic evidence of a plane in the Pentagon. There is no way a plane could smash into the Pentagon and cause that little damage. The only evidence we have is from the flight that crashed in Pennsilvania, which happened to be the only plane which the passengers decided to call home. It’s all a scam. All of it. I have the DVD if anyone wants a copy.

  12. To MJD,Do a little digging about the information available out there. Google Video has many good video clips explaining the possibility that the American Gov. is behind most of this. Just take a look and then decide. I used to believe what I was heard and read in the regular media but it just doesn’t add up anymore. Anyone else who has doubt just open you eyes and ears a bit more, look and listen then decide.

  13. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, if you look up a bit of info, you’ll find that at ground zero there was molten steel for weeks after teh event. That’s alot of heat.. more heat than any building fire could cause. And let’s not forget Tower 7.. How did tower 7 fall? The government hasn’t even told us that yet. Go to youtube.com and look up wtc 7.. Look at it fall… You do not have to be a scientist to know it was a controlled demolition. As for mjd.. you really think the american government wouldn’t do this? Why? You obviously know nothing of US foreign policy.. or what the patriot act is, or say how the neo-cons are now killing habeus corpus.. Youd don’t even know what that is do you?

  14. whether you believe it is totally a lie – or whatever, i think we should all agree that nothing is as it seems. Michael Moore is but one person who proved that. we live in a world that wants to believe we are in a democracy, but we really only see what the government wants us to see with exceptions to small snibits of theories that people believe which are then portrya to be crazy. why? fear and the almighty dollar.we only know 1/10 of what is going on in our “democratic” society, of this i am sure!

  15. Fuck, you people are idiots. Read this:http://www.loosechangeguide.com/LooseChangeGuide.htmlFor a brieft summary:Jet fuel doesn’t burn hut enough to melt steel, but it does get it hot enough to seriously weaken it. Guess what; if you weaken the entire superstructure with thousands of tons of concrete and steel above it, it is going to collapse. Red hot steel gets really soft, you can actually twist it yourself (think blacksmiths).Also, if a building is pancaking like the WTC did, there may be a loud boom sound from the floors COLLAPSING! And no, it wasn’t a controlled demolition, it would need massive amounts of explosives through out the entire building on all the main supports from the sub basements to the top. Which would all have to be very precisely timed.Not that I have any great faith in the US gov’t, I just don’t think that something on this scale is possible for them.There are much easier ways for them to stir up fear without resorting to something that spectacular. I have no idea why you are so inclined to believe a misinformed dilusional movie like ‘Loose Change’. Maybe you can answer this question; if the guy is right, and the US gov’t is behind 9/11, how come some 20 year old with some video editing software could put it all together when no one else could, and the same gov’t that supposodely killed thousands of their own citizens let him put this out and live? Why wouldn’t they just arrange for him to have an ‘accident’?Lay off the drugs, you guys are way to paranoid.

  16. Anyone have an idea on how many people were involved in this conspiracy, from the air traffic controllers to the people on wall street to the high ranking officials with prior knowledge. It’s gotta be a fair amount, and yet none of them have come forward to say anything, even after the mess they have caused has gotten so out of control. Not one? Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems someone would grow a conscience in all of this if things happened at the hands of the government.

  17. From a conversation I just had with my engineering friend:if you note, the buildings first failed directily above where the plane hit. the fuel from the planes burned long enough to destroy the fireproofing, once that was gone the structural members were failed. the top floors then collapsed onto the floors where the plane crashed, causing the building to collapse on itself. The only way it would tip over is if it was damaged at its foundation. The other building were destoryed by the forces generated from the two main towers falling. Thats alot of energy to be asbored insuch a small area.the buildings weighed 500,000 tons each!..warning..i’m gonna get fancy here…lol structurally the wtc were very strong: ie they survived a direct impact from an airplane.each floor in the building could support 1,200 tons more than its weight. As the joists gave away on the heavily burned floors, the damaged sections begin to “bow” out. This caused the upper floors to collapse. The buidling collapsed at 200 km/h taking 10 seconds to implode. The buildings were essentially hollow, ie, they are 95% air / volume. This allowed the buidling to implode on itself, rather than tip over like a solid would. Also, the fact that the complete collapse of each tower took only 10 seconds, there was not enough time to move the 500,000t of the building to the sides. The energy required to get that mass in motion to the left or right would have been enormous.this is what i do. this is engineering.

  18. What I think did or did not happen won’t change anything, and neither will any of your opinions. The important part is that we question it, always question your government wheather you trust them or not. The sick world we live in is full of truths and lies, most of which we will never know. To each your own on what you choose to believe, just make sure you take the right steps on getting there.

  19. Man…I definitely feel you on the stupid transit!! I had 10 minutes to catch the 14 and I was there..waiting…35 minutes later…So either it was REALLY late, or over 10 minutes early…either way…I was pissed!

  20. rolling stone, now there’s a publication worthy of respect and admirationmechanical enginner, if no explosives were used then why didn’t the floors end up stked on top of each otherbtw, these buildings were designed specifically 2 withstand airplanes and the guy who bought them not too long b4 took out an insurance policy specifically against a ‘terrorist act’, he got rich of course @ did all those with prior knowledge who made insider tradesperhaps there were no bombs in the building but there was definelty proir knowledge and there is definetly a cover-upwhy dont they kill the guy who made the first of many documentaries about the issue, the same reason they dont kill noam chomsky .. because it would b 2 obviousAchems said ‘Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems someone would grow a conscience in all of this if things happened at the hands of the government’, u r wrong, the elite have no interest in jeoparding their positionthe ‘last survivor’ tells of an explosion under his feet on the ground floor before the plane hithttp://www.911weknow.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=19

  21. It was proven on the cbc that you could see little explosions coming from the two towers as they were coming down. Bush killed his own people.
