Was 9/11 an inside job?

Question

Five years after the attack on the U.S., a group of 75 leading academics called 9/11 Scholars for Truth and led by Steven E Jones, a physics professor at a university in Utah, suggests that the 9/11 attacks were orchestrated by warmongers inside the White House in an attempt to justify the U.S.-led occupation of oil-rich countries.

Professor Jones, who studied debris from the attacks, affirms that explosives were used to bring down the towers.

"We are investigating the possibility of thermite-based arson and demolition," he told The New York Times last week.
“We don’t believe that 19 hijackers and a few others in a cave in Afghanistan pulled this off acting alone. We challenge this official theory

this was a part of an article published in al jazeera ,please give me ur opinions in that without any weak insulting responses .say if u agree or disagree discussting why.please

Answer 1

ugh. Please. Can we just stop with this whole conspiracy theory thing? Go watch some michael moore and hush up, i think big brother is trying to tap your internet.

Answer 2

Several months before 9/11/2001 the World Trade Center was inspected as the condition of the fire insulation on the steel supports was of concern. Several areas were found to have missing insulation and a repair project was started but had not completed by 9/11. Both towers were hit above the completed area. That and a design weakness in how the floor supports were attached accounts for why the building came down.

How would the US government ever get 25 Islamic guys to come to the US for the purpose of flying 5 planes into buildings (the numbers are not a mistake)? If they did, how did they get those guys to sit around the cave and discuss it with OSB? How and when did the explosives get planted? Remember the fire insulation work, it was going on at the time the explosives would have had to be planted.

I think it is much easier to believe that there are at least 75 nutty professors like Steven E. Jones who have convinced themselves that Bush and Rove have that kind of control over people.

I have seen what they say is evidence. At best it is their opinion that steel would not react in the manner it did without some sort of explosive. One might ask, how many building have they examined the size of the WTC towers, that have had large commercial planes full of fuel flown into them?

For every major event in history there are a few nutty professors who have a theory that it was the government. I hear that Karl Rove was in Dallas the day that Kennedy was killed. I know that he was only 12 years old but he was angry that his adoptive father was gay (he didn't know until 1969, but those things don't bother nutty professors). He looks a little like Jack Ruby. Maybe we are on to something here. See how crazy some of this stuff can get.

Answer 3

1st of all do you question when he was able to get any part of the towers,(debris)to do his so called study, because it is simply amazing the N. Y. P. D. would even let him close to the area where the towers layed, and that these experts in physics, must have a degree in architecture, and that it is not just 19 hijackers, but a ideology of thousands. 2nd if you were to look at the facts of how the towers came down, you would know that the buildings were not constructed the way others are, that all the floors were supported buy the outside walls, and when the floor joists which were made of steel, had all the fire proofing blown away, from the force of impact, and were heated from the fire, They then became weak and let loose from the outer walls, and when you have one floor on top of the other coming down, you will have a pancake effect. 3rd the reason y the 1st tower came down different from the other is because, it was hit in a different spot and the weight was dispersed differently. Do some research instead of listening to and taking the words, of someone that has a left wing byast, and a hatred for Bush. Watch the history channel, A and E channel, or anything that will give you info about about the truth of that day, not loose change. My question to you and all that will read this, do you know what the wall, and Jammie Garreleck have in common?

Answer 4

Actually it was 'thermate' that Dr Jones claims was used, not 'thermite'. Thermate is similar to thermite but is a faster-burning chemical mix that is used in demolition and he asserts that he has evidence it was used to bring down the Twin Towers.

As far as I have been able to find out, Dr Jones has not yet been able to prove his case but he has a lot of support in some quarters.

However, as has been pointed out in several websites and blogs I have read, there is no question that the heat from the burning fuel (from the planes) inside the Twin Towers would have caused such serious weakening that the massive weight of concrete and steel above them would cause a progressive collapse. I am not a qualified structural engineer so I can only take the word of those who are, but it seems reasonable.

Some have argued that the buildings were designed to withstand impacts from large aircraft. True -- and they did. But the designers didn't calculate for the enormous heat generated by some many tons of burning fuel.

As to the conspiracy theories, there are many. For me, as someone who does know something about flying planes, I find it amazing that a couple of terrorist pilots with minimal training n flight simulators managed to fly through lower Manhattan below the heights of some of the surrounding buildings and keep on a level course all the way to their 'targets'. That is incredibly skilfull flying and not something I'd like to try in a twin-engine Piper, let alone a large jet doing around 350mph.

EDIT: However, I am NOT denying that the planes were hijacked and the people who did it were a bunch of murderers. My thoughts about their flying skills is just an observation. But people bent on suicide can do very strange things, far beyond what we would believe possible. The hijacks were REAL, let us have no doubt about that!!

At the time of the attacks there is no proof that a certain Osama Bin Laden was hiding in a cave anywhere. No-one was seriously making efforts to catch him then. Not seriously. He had the freedom to move around as he pleased and certainly had access to modern communications. For example, I understand that a Thoria phone works just about anywhere, although you might have to stand outside your cave while using it...

The statement about 'a few others in a cave in Afghanistan' is deliberately misleading and assumes the public has forgotten what I've just mentioned.

Unfortunately most of them have -- and have also forgotten that we the greater public had hardly heard of O Bin L until after 9/11.

As for the US using 9/11 as an exuse to occupy oil-rich countries, until the war against Iraq (war #2), the USA was obtaining 9% of its oil imports from that country. It would have been far cheaper to continue doing that than spend hundreds of billions and the all those lives of US servicemen and women in a war as has now happened. And continues to happen.

Trade is always cheaper than war.

In balance, I would say that some things need further explanation, but it is unlikely that there was such a conspiracy. However, I am open to any reasonable evidence. Sometimes one small detail can make all the difference.

Thanks for the question. Maybe someone will have that one small detail.

Answer 5

It doesn't take a genius to suggest it was an inside job. But it does take geniuses to defeat ignorance. Which sadly plagues today's America.

Just take a read of all the response's to this question for instance. So many responding without even attempting to read or learn about the findings and have solely put their faith in what bush has said or what they have heard on fox or CNN.

Ignorance kills! This is an insult to the thousands who perished on 9/11.

The people have a right to know the truth.

Answer 6

lol i think of the interior interest is the funniset maximum unrealistc consipracy I actual have ever heard of. with the aid of fact a million. i'm specific that at an identical time as they have been development the international commerce centers, what back interior the 60s or 70s? That they a approach or the different purposly confident rather everyone in touch to cause them to vulnerable so as that years later the government ought to apply it as an exuse to invade Iraq? ya precise. 2. If it replaced into an interior interest, then it does not be a consiracy it may be actuality. with the aid of tens of millions of greenbacks that interior people could gets a commission to formally say that. lol it rather is like the dumb those that belive that we did no longer rather land on the moon. 3. there are countless exams and balences interior the yank governmnet. no person could get away with that. basically look on the open problems with the democrats as against republicans over even much less significant themes? confident i'm specific this could stay decrease than the wraps, rather. 4. If the government paid Osama or different terroists to attrack us, then why does not Osama tell the yank people? What extra appropriate oppertinity to coach the country he hates maximum against their very own government? purely in Hollywood. in spite of the fact that it rather is a resourceful conspiracy. basically no longer a actual one. I believe what you stated, fairly relating to the youngster donning that shirt.

Answer 7

The whole thing is utterly stupid, and has already been beaten to death in this forum. It was NOT an "inside job". The notion that thermite (which is NOT an explosive - it is an incendiary) was involved is preposterous: is anyone seriously proposing that someone ran into the burning buildings during the hour and a half between when the planes hit and when they collapsed for the purpose of planting explosives? The heat of a fire is enough to soften steel so that it loses its strength, as anyone who has watched a blacksmith adjusting a horseshoe is perfectly well aware. As for other evidence, we have cell phone conversations, visual observation and videos, Air Traffic Control voice and radar records, and much much else. And, as if that were not enough, al Qaeda has admitted publicly that they did it. Let's drop it, already!

Answer 8

How many times are you people going to ask this question? Watch the airport security tapes of the hijackers. Then watch them fly the planes into the Twin Towers. Then watch the Twin Towers collapse. Then watch Osama Bin Laden take responsibility for it. As of late watch the Osama video of him meeting with the hijackers before 9-11 happened. Now tell me does that look like an inside job? If it does your a moron!

Answer 9

#1 demolition of a building half the size of the WTC towers would take months to prepair for,not to mention sneaking in the large amount of explosives required.
Why does it not suprise me that none of you have any demolition knowledge,nor do you research it.
#2 the impact of the planes would dirrectly effect any planned demolition of the buildings...ie placement of explosives,planed collapse of buildings,
you are saying (without knowing it)that the explosives were placed after the planes crashed.
Do you honestly think thats possible?

Answer 10

a lot of people say it was.. so bush could have the congress give him power to invade a place for him to get more oil. others say for him to be president again
if you think about it.. the bush family worked w/ people from Afghans making deals and all that other good stuff.
this days we really can't believe anyone.. either they're paid to cover up something
and all this people saying mean stuff.. shut your mouth and let the kid speak he's mind
we have the right to say what we want
freedom of speech!
let people express themselves and be themselves don't waist your time judging others .. go judge yourself if you have nothing better to do, jerks! (to those dumb disrespectful people)

Answer 11

What many consider a conspiracy theory is really numerous unexplained coincidences- these include how radar was turned off, explosive charges set and people released from custody in time to make the flight
