Don't have a lot of time to post, seeing as how I've got laundry to do and it's late enough already... but I would like to throw my $0.02 in here. You can take my word for it or not- I really don't care; I don't have the time or the will to go digging around the internet for links right now.

Off the top of my head, reasons why so-called conspiracy "evidence" is bullshit:

1. Why did the military/government confiscate footage of the Pentagon being struck?

Simple answer. The Pentagon, contrary to what some of you may believe, is a military installation. Given that the attack did quite a bit of damage to a large section of the building, don't you think that footage of the attack could provide future attackers intelligence about the building's weaknesses? Have you ever heard of a military willing to risk exposing a weakness that could allow a determined attacker to decapitate its command structure in one fell swoop? No shit they confiscated that footage- and they'd have been complete boneheads not to.

2. There wasn't any wreckage!

Look closer. If any of you nincompoops had ever bothered to research major air disasters, you would find that the intense heat generated by burning jet fuel can, and frequently does, consume the wreckage. Indeed, it doesn't take much more than a ruptured fuel line at the wrong time to create those conditions- on at least one occasion that I am aware of, an airliner's wing caught fire in flight after an engine explosion, and the fire consumed nearly half the wing before the crew cut off fuel flow to the damaged section. Also, airliners are designed to be durable from the inside out- to withstand higher internal pressure against lower external pressure. They are not designed to survive head-on collisions with solid objects at several hundred miles per hour. Remember how many itty bitty pieces TWA Flight 800 was found in? Yeah- and that plane hit the water.

3. The World Trade Center collapsed rather than toppling!

It was designed to do exactly that from the moment of its conception in the 1960s. Why? Think of what would happen if that tall of a building fell over laterally in downtown Manhattan. In the event of a structural failure, the buildings were designed to collapse evenly, exactly as one would expect from a controlled demolition. The actual collapse was somewhat messier than an explosive demolition would have been (check out footage of such demolitions for a clue), mainly due to the uneven distribution of structural damage after the impact of a fucking airliner loaded with fuel. The plans factored in airplane impacts, but assumed that such impacts would be accidental, the result of navigational errors at the end of a long flight (with a light fuel load). They did not anticipate a deliberate attack. If it were not for the fire, the buildings would likely not have fallen at all.

That's all I've got time for. Take all that with a grain of salt if you will, but it's all the truth.

"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
