every man has his price.... anyone can be called an expert at anything, doesn't always mean they're right.

a lot of the video makes sense when you look into it. i vividly remember seeing the "wreckage" both at the pentagon and at the spot in Penn. and wondering where everything went. i could recreate the Penn. site with a dozer and some scrap metal from a junk yard. there were no discernable pieces to be seen and a plane of that size doesn't just shatter into a billion tiny pieces and disappear into the wind.

as for the buildings collapsing, again the video shows the evidence that there were demo charges going off. the camera placed on the building near the towers shakes before the building even begins to move and you hear the explosion just the same. light moves faster than sound, so the sound wasn't coming from the building as it collapsed. with the way the one plane hit on the corner of the building it likely would have toppled over to the side, but somehow the building managed to fall straight down just like a controlled demolition.

i'd rather not believe that it's possible for our government to do such a thing, but at the same time when people convince themselves it's "for the greater good" then a lot of bad things can be done with that excuse.
