    It started because you said earlier that people who believe jet fuel did not cause the towers to fall we're "insane". I'll admit, I take offense to that.

    Not viable, yet viable. You won't answer, then it's the interviewer's fault. The inconsistencies change each version of your alibi. Can anyone vouch for your whereabouts on that day?

    There was massive construction fraud in the building of the WTC buildings. From the suppliers of the building materials to the mob controlled unions who built everything.

    Note that structural steel at 550 degrees C (1022 F) has 60% of the strength of steel at normal temperatures.

    It doesn't need to melt to fail structurally.

    Probably so. However, molten steel was found so that just destroys that argument.

    Because I'd rather nobody pay attention to me than people relentlessly push me to anger. I got enough of that shit in middle school, and being ignored was much better.

    ISIS, in all likelihood, is the US Intelligence agencies' new de-stabalizing force in the middle-east region; akin to Al-Qaeda.
    (Al-CIAda)
    So is it an inside job? By proxy of the US Intelligence and Military Industrial Complex: probably yes.

    Gives recourse for the US, backed by the UN, to now enter Syria, push back Putins forces, force out Assad and install a pro-western government.
    Which has been the plan all along.

    The outside steal frame was part of what held the building up. There wasn't that much there.

    Yes, we've all seen those pictures. There were bronze, copper, iron, and other metals used in the construction or decoration of the WTC complex, all of those metals have a much lower melting temperatures. You see something melting in a picture and immediately assume it's steel.

    So you think that engineers analyze metal by just looking at pictures of it. I guess that proves they are wrong.

    So you believe that the government crashed planes into the buildings and then secret government bad guys were able to run into the buildings and put secret sauces on the metal beams that cuased them to melt where the planes hit and then run out of the buildings without being seen and before the fire department got there.

    Yes, I'm sure that's exactly how it happened.

    LOL, his game thread got converted to a debate on 9/11. I think this is a first!

    I've been a long time skeptic myself. A lot of things don't really add up. They find the terrorists passports on the ground? But don't find the black boxes? Give me a break.

    Look at the way WTC 7 collapsed that wasn't even hit by a plane. You can debate if the towers would have collapsed like that till the cows come home, I don't even think that makes sense. We've had plenty of steel framed sky scrapers catch fire (including one of the towers), and nothing like that ever happened.
