I didnt watch it, but how can you explain a 12 foot wide hole in the walls of the pentagon going in through 4 levels, and have no wreckage outside the walls except for a small jet turbine that wouldnt even power a private jet????

makes you wonder

other than that, i have no comment.

Most passenger jets have a small jet fuel burning engine in the rear, whose purpose is to heat the cargo compartment. It's called the "dead dog" engine, because if the flight crew forgets to turn it on, any dog riding in the cargo hold is deader than Elvis. Because it gets damn cold at 35,000 feet

If you look at a Boeing on the ground, you'll see a heat plume coming out of an arpeture in the tail

If you look at the video of the United 767 hitting the south WTC tower, the #1 engine (the one on the left wing) went all the way through the building and traveled another few hundred yards after impact. The wings of a plane are basically thin aluminum. When they hit solid stone going at 600-700 feet per second, not much of them survives as recognizeable wreckage. Pulverized would be an apt description. The fuselage, on the other hand, is built like a brick crapper and would normally make a hole 12' or so around and penetrate several levels into a buidling. As far as I've seen, there was only one video of the plane hitting the north WTC, and it was taken from north of the building. It only shows the plane going in. It doesn't show what came out of the other side. However, when you look at the shots taken of the plane hitting the south tower, you can see all kinds of bits and pieces of the plane coming out seconds later. Including one of the two engines. I've been told the #1 engine landed somewhere around Chambers St., many blocks to the north.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

Let me tell you that it was and still is etched in my mind I will never forget it, I was lucky and didn't lose anyone. but if it happened a month earlier I would have lost my wife, she was on the same flight same crew as the first plane. it bothers me to this day. this will never go away and these people that try to find fault with government conspiracy are just paranoid a$$holes

First cousin,retired Marine pilot.
First civilian job was part of a flight crew for American Airlines Boston to LA.
I found out about 6:00PM (after many phone calls) on Sept 11th that his flight landed safely in LA on Sept 10th.
Same flight. Same route. Same airline. 24 hours off.
Old, close friend of mine had to seek new employment when most of her company ceased to exist on Sept 11.

I'll never forget.

As grave as it might seem, and as embarassing, I would not rule out the possibility of an "inside job" at this point in time. I don't know what happened on Sept 11, other than the fact that many innocent people died. I'm not belittling the losses this country suffered by any means. I don't deny the Holocaust, but Hitler was the "president" of Germany. Show me the proof. Why does our Government not make public all the Information? Certain people had alot to gain. I truly hope that it was Osama, but I will not rule out other suspects untill the truth is proven. The language is really not called for.

Post i have some doubts

so if ya wanna "try"...and smack me i'll knock you out....no problem.. i didnt watch (look at) that link.... btw...

i used to work in quarries blasting rock and the whole trick is...in controlling the shot (blowing up rock) is to have all the explosives
on a precisely timed sequence ok...

and one of my interests after that job....is merely watching how they implode buildings..... in the same fashion .....on Television...

now despite all the hooplah about conspiracy theories ,bank heists
minutes before the jet hit , tranfers of funds over seas ect...

if you just forget about all that...and look at the films of the two towers goin down...ok... in one video it does look like a controlled sequence of explosives going off (ripple effect)...as the building crumbles.

that could just be coincidense too, as the official report said the jet fuel weaked the metal and caused that to happen....similar to
a karate chop breakin a stack of bricks as the weight of the upper bricks helps to break the bottom brick.

but when you watch it several times it "could" lead you to that conclusion because it "looks like"........ a controlled implosion.
