Has anybody seen the documentary "Loose Change 9-11"? What did you think?

Answer 1

very well done documentary... makes you question what truely happened.

Answer 2

Yes, I watched it, and then I thought about it. Once I did, this is the conclusion I came to:
IF the government was reponsible, then they would have to bribe all the people who were on the planes, all the family members of the people who were on the planes, all of the people who saw the planes... et cetera et cetera. A conspiracy like that would take YEARS to come up with, and even longer to execute. Which would mean that it would have had to have been thought up around the time that LBJ was in office, because that's about the same time that J Edgar Hoover was head of the FBI. Why is that? Because Hoover conducted many wiretaps.
Now, considering the fact that we had a Democratic president in office from 1992-2000, and changes in the Senate, not to mention the FBI and CIA (and the NSA!), that would mean that either A) Clinton, former and current members of Congress and the Senate were in on it, as well as all of the FBI and CIA. Or B) That there was no conspiracy theory because something like that would have leaked.
Did the government have prior knowledge that the US was going to be attacked? YES! But just like Pearl Harbor, they didn't know when, where or how. The ONLY way 9/11 could have been prevented would have been to shut down all flights to, from and within the US. That wouldn't have made much sense, now would it? And then when there was no terrorist attack, the Bush administration would have been at fault.
Now, if there truly WAS a conspiracy, don't you think the goverment would be going to greater lengths to shut down the accusations? Loose Change has been around for awhile now, and Michael Moore hasn't been assassinated yet either.
Not only that, but the towers collapsing was really just a matter of physics. The planes hitting, and then the heat at which the jet fuel was burning, weakened the integrity of the buildings until a collapse was inevitable. In order to make a 110 story building collapse, the best way to do so is to hit directly above the middle. That way, the floors above the plane would collapse, and the velocity at which they were falling (which was probably several hundred miles an hour) combined with the WEIGHT would cause the entire building to collapse. If each floor weighed an average of about 6000 pounds, and it was pushing down at about 100 MPH, that means that it was falling at a force of about 600,000 pounds. There is no building that can withstand that.
Ever play Jenga? Build a tower sometime, and then take out several pieces of one side at the same time, up just past the middle. If you do that, you'll see how it's possible that the towers collapsed.
If you believe Loose Change, and you really want to know the truth, why don't you do some more research? The www.popularmechanics.com site would be a great place to start. The story is called "9/11: Debunking the Conspiracy Myths." You could also look into how many other events in history had their own conspiracy theories. And how many of them were disproved.

Answer 3

The "loose change" documentary has as much, if not less, credibility than the flat earth society. Look, 9/11 was a horrible national tragedy. Almost 3000 people were pointlessly murdered in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. that tuesday morning. Regardless of all of the conspiracy theories, what if's, and maybes, it was a conspiracy.

Al Queda, under the leadership of Osama Bin Laden, Khalid Sheik Mohammed and others carried out the single greatest terrorist attack in the United States if not the world. It took almost five years to finance, organize, plan, and train for. Unfortunately for you, President Bush, Dick Cheney, Halliburton, Nasa, a weather satellite, an earthquake satellite, and the book "my pet goat" had nothing to do with it. The "loose change" documentary is a piece of creative fiction consisting of little more credibility than Farenheight 9/11. And, we all know that movie was about as accurate as a two year old bumper bowling.

It is normal to distrust the government to an extent. After all, government has never gotten involved in anything without completely screwing it up (look up the old musical piece "peter and the commisar"). And, as a conservative I personally belive government is not the solution to the problem, it's the problem - as did Ronald Reagan. This being said, a paranoid view of the world around you and implanting conspiracy in national tragedies is absurd and not healthy. No, really, you should have more pride in yourself then to even watch this trash, let alone believe it. . .

Answer 4

It is not scientifically sound but it sure raises interesting questions. I would suggest you read this paper by Prof Steven Jones too. This is a far more scientific analysis and touches on many of the points raised in Loose Change.

If anyone says its a bunch of BS, ask them to give scientific proof showing why it is BS. They'll all run away. Take for example trc_6111, ask him if he has proof for what he says.

Answer 5

No, curiosity has me wondering were I can find this, I would like to see this. I believe 9/11 to be exactly what it was a terrorist attack 2nd round on WTC. I was affected personally by 9/11 WTC attacks.

Answer 6

Good movie narrated by a child, that's what kills it. Children don't vote!

Answer 7

It's a bunch of BS.

Answer 8

Yes i have, but I don't quite believe it.

Answer 9

I am surprised anyone answers these questions anymore.....yawn....
