But the test with the cell phones kind of throws me off. There are a lot of variables. First: What carrier was he using and was the area he in during the test well supported by that carrier? Second: How do cell phones transmit (seriously help me out here because I don't know)? I know when you're in a plane, it's easy to get radio signals that are typically too far away because you don't have the terrain and other EM interference that you would on the ground. So that cell phone "test" doesn't have me falling over believing it.
EDIT: Another little indescrepancy I have about the video ... the eyewitness accounts. Can those be proven that they were there? Also, what about all of those people describing missile this and missile that and what it looked like and how it wasn't this. Do those same people have the real knowledge to make those kind of judgements? I mean, I can walk out onto a Fiat car dealership and try and say what I think each car model is, but in the end, I don't fucking know shit because I don't know shit about Fiat. Or better yet, walk to a Nissan dealership in Japan and try and name every car there. I can say it LOOKS like this, but I really don't know for sure. All of those statements were being treated as hard fact and you can't do that.
I think a lot of the evidence the documentary presents is VERY interesting and worth investigating, but the documentary does not do a well enough job explaining all of it. Some of it is very well done, but not everything.
The Al Qaeda tape at the end was quite interesting, as well. But we all know intelligence about who someone is and whatnot can be wrong. Who knows if bin Laden is ambidextorous?
There really are too many questions about 9/11, but at the same time there are not enough answers either. Both sides of the fence don't have the answers or proof to back up anything, really. Just because it's the government does not mean they know everything.
Another thing I find interesting is the documentary provides images of the 9/11 Commission Report. HOWEVER ... the documentary doesn't seem to cite ANY information from that book. Why not? Do the facts presented in the book disprove the documentary's allegations? If you're going to make a documentary, you weigh in both sides and you do it without a bias, everyone knows that.
