Answer 1

How did we get so many half-baked conspiracy theories on something with more of a paper trail than any other event since World War II? I'm not saying there weren't some government efforts to cover up major screwups, but I hardly think it's the level of conspiracy you're asserting. Are there a lot of unanswered questions? Yes. Is it as sinister as you think? Not necessarily.

But to answer a couple of your questions...

The contracts on American Airlines were put in by al-Qaida so that they could make money when airline stock values plummeted after 9/11.

Cell phone signals have much the same atmospheric range as radio signals.

The hijackers were able to take over using only box cutters because except for Flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania, nobody really knew what the hijackers had in mind, so nobody wanted to risk getting cut if the hijackers were just after ransom. Nobody expected them to fly planes into buildings.

Answer 2

I find it interesting that you have posed this question on the R&S board, as you have such a stereotypically religious fervour to your erroneous beliefs.

I have read all the 9/11 conspiracy theories and while they are interesting, it falls apart when you take it to it's logical extremes. Popular Mechanics did an excellent debunking of all of your points on their website. Several of the things you mention, simply did not even happen at all, and are merely the stuff of Uraban Legend (my brother has a friend whose cousin heard about a guy who.....)

There ARE many unanswered questions about 9/11 and the Bush administration has a lot to answer for.....the history books will be interesting to read 50 years from now. The danger of nutty conspiracy theories is that they detract from the real investigation.

Answer 3

There were no planes and no hijackers - see below.
It was a missile that hit the pentagon.
No plane, therefore no engines.
Thermite was used in the controlled demolition.
The perpetrators knew before hand and wanted to make money on the stock exchange.
Evidence sols as part of the cover-up.
No planes, no passengers, no cell phones.
William Rodriguez offered money as part of cover-up
Towers fell at speed of gravity because all controlled demolitions fall that way.
The firefighters saw reality
Larry Silverstein made a mistake.

Answer 4

Why don't you let some maniac start waving a box cutter at you in an enclosed space at 20,000 feet after watching him kill someone and let's see what kind of hero you are. Of course you have to come out of moms basement to know what it feels like to actually face *GASP* real danger to have any kind of grasp of what that would be like.

Know what I don't understand? Why you put this in the Religion & Spirituality section. I think it's a conspiracy. And I'm going to go out of my way to go find some other internet loons that agree. Don't lie, you're really.....BUSH! Aren't you?

Answer 5

Often people who rant run out of room. Take your questions to the Government if you dare. You sound like a jailhouse lawyer.

Answer 6

They even had radio contact before impact!
