Why do people believe in 9/11 conspiracy theories?

Question

For those of you that believe it was a conspiracy I need these questions answered. It would have taken weeks to prep the twin towers for demolition. Wouldn't people have noticed the noise and explosives and missing girders? Wouldn't that stuff have been kinda tough to sneak by security? If a plane did not hit the Pentegon, how do you explain the witnesses that saw a plane? What happened to that flight and the people on board? It is not easy to make an entire plane to vanish. How did we get the terrorist to take credit for it and what would they have to gain by falsely claiming they did it? Finally, we have a very hard time keeping secrets. Thousands of people would have to be involved to pull this off. How do we keep them all quiet?

Sangria, you are wrong on that issue. Show me one other skyscraper hit by a huge plane and how it fell. It is unprecidented and your answer fails to pass the smell test.

I see that the few that have answered that believe this crap fail to address any of the issues I have brought up. Come on you nuts, answer the questions.

I have an open mind if reasonable plausible answers can be given to my questions. As yet, not one single question has been answered by anyone that believes this stuff.

cool guy, I ask this question a lot? Really? I have asked a grand total of 4 questions, and not one resembles this. So you start off your answer with a blatant lie and attempt at discrediting me. Why should I believe anything you write when you have zero credibility.

americanidiot279, You are completely wrong about Bush's brother. His company was not in charge of security for the towers for a few years. Ok so work was being done. How did they get the explosives in?

americanidiot279, and BTW you don't drill when you prep a building for demolition, you use torches to remove structure.

Douglas Herman? LMAO please explain how a left wing radical is a good source to believe in.

TexasRose, nice try but you get an A for avoiding answering any of the questions. lol

Answer 1

Ok, first, I'll start off by answering your questions with the popular beliefs;

The Twin towers are massive buildings, that have mysterious people going in and out of them everyday with construction. Several times before 9/11 there were small scale evacuations of the twin towers, and many police going in and out.

With the Pentagon, there were only a few people who actually saw a plane hit the building, in fact, more people saw something that looked like a helicopter or a missle. Even the Video doesn't show an actual plane hit the building. The hole in the pentagon was not nearly big enough to fit a plane that size into it. The popular belief is that the plane and the victims on it were either on a completely different flight, and shipped to a gov. base, or that they were completley fabricated.

It is extremely easy to get terrorists to take credit for something like this. These are people who hate Western Culture and would do anything to damage it. All we had to do is offer some cash and bragging rights.

The secrets is the hardest thing to explain. It is extremely hard to believe that EVERYONE kept their mouth shut. because the fact is, once you tell two people, you might as well have told 100,000.

now, to answer what some of these idiots answered with.

Sangria: you said that buildings like that can't collapse without a planned demolition. I don't think you realize that a 747 airplane holds 10's of thousands of gallons of high-pressurizes fuel traveling at 300 miles an hour. Is it so hard to believe that a 500 ton metal tube flying at 300 miles an hour can knock down a poorly designed building?

Coolguy: it was over 100 years ago that a small propellar plane crashed into the empire state building, and only started a fire, but, im sure that even YOU can see the difference here. That was the most relavent case of an American plane hitting an American building. You aslo say that the US never showed proof that Osama bin Laden wasn't connected.... I remeber seeing a tape that showed Bin Laden confessing to it. Also, I'm not quite sure why you put Al' Qaeda in quotation marks(as if they weren't real...) Also you say that Jay O is no different then someone who believes his religious leaders. Again, you are saying this as if it is bad to have faith, or have questions. Maybe you shouldnt be so close-minded.

Answer 2

Want someone to just give you all the answers huh? Well, I have been doing research on the 9-11 events since the day it happened. Why do I believe the conspiracy theories? Because those who are telling the truth are NOT paid to lie by this administration. All the answers ARE out there. What you need to do is start out by reading "Operation Northwoods." That will give you real insight into what the government is capable of doing. And if these people were making this stuff up...don't you think the government would sue them for liable and slander? When people first started trying to get the truth out....they 'mysteriously' died. You can not get all the answers on this one form. There are TONS of proof that it was an inside job. If you want the truth....then get out there and spend the time finding it. But you need to do it with an open mind....otherwise you are only fooling yourself.
Good luck.

Answer 3

I think, on some level, that it makes the whole event easier to comprehend. The idea that a couple of dozen guys can hijack 4 airliners, cause so much damage and kill so many people while the government was unable to do anything is hard to believe. I have trouble reconciling in my mind my memories of visiting the top of the WTC, with the image on my TV of those same massive building coming down like a house of cards. But like they say, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Answer 4

I've wondered all this myself. I have yet to hear a credible theory that doesn't have holes. Or actually make sense for that matter. Some people just have a hard time believeing what happened. That others would kill strangers in the name of God. They'd rather blame Bush or the government, which seems more radical to me. There's a lot of phychological theories to why people come up with conspiracy theories, such as 9/11 and JFK. To some people, it has to be more to it for it make sense in their minds.

Answer 5

I think that people believe in a conspiracy is because of the things that have happened since. It certainly has given the administration a basis of getting control over the citizens, starting the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, in reducing the freedoms in this country, and closing the White House. Look at question earlier about fascism. Whether the administration did something or knew about it happening and did nothing, it is a possibility and with the silence in the government, we will never know.

Answer 6

For many of them it is a logical extension of their irrational Bush hatred. It just had to be Bush that did this after all he is certainly more evil than UBL or any terrorist on the planet. This allows the deluded believers to create a superiority complex about themselves, their cause, and their belief system. Rational people(even those that oppose Bush) know there is noway a conspiracy this large could have been kept quite this long. Ignore the children.

Answer 7

Jay O
You seem to ask this question a lot, and you always give the best answer to someone who agrees with you, so why do you keep asking it other than as a means of propaganda?

You tell Sangria that this is unprecedented, but that isn't true. Airplanes have hit buildings before, but never before had an impact from an airplane caused a building to burn and fall. Much less a building the size (and the strength of) the twin towers.

What you are asking for is impossible to provide. You want someone to refute every possible argument about 911 without actually reading or knowing all of the possible arguments.

The US government never showed proof that Osama Bin Laden, or "al-qaeda" were involved in 911. They have claimed it over and over, but never have provided proof of it to any international court (like the world court) or body (like the UN) nor have they shown their evidence to the citizenry of the USA (or any other country).

So you believe what the government tells you, without ever being shown proof. You're no different than a Muslim who believes what his religious leader teaches him about God (allah) without any proof. No different than a Christian or Jew or Scientologist or Jehovah's Witness or any other religious person who takes the claims of somebody else as truth on faith (without physical proof).

There are and always will be people who do not accept your unproven "truth" as fact. There will always be people who question your so-called truth. There will always be people who point out the errors and flaws and lies in your (the government's and media's) story. You can ignore them or you can attempt to disprove them. If you can't disprove them after attempting to do so, maybe you ought to rethink your (no different than religious) beliefs (IE your faith in your government).

Answer 8

Personnaly i loved the loosechange conspiracy idea. without reference to how flawed or correct it can be... the reality of the problem is, individuals experience whatever to speak or gossip approximately. Why no longer? definite rumours are being unfold always approximately more than a few matters. it provides a little bit of 'spice' to our lives. all of us have matters to disagree or accept as true with individuals approximately in lifestyles. i understand it obtained me speaking to my peers approximately it, and close to had me believing, however on the finish of the day, its just a hearsay and with rumours individuals both suppose them or they do not without reference to the subject. the primary factor is, it will get the brain running, and that i experience that! so, its simply a type of matters...

Answer 9

You can not seriously ask this question when your tone denounces any concept of an open mind.

You have an "Open MInd"? with statements like "Come on you Nuts"
You already made a decision...your question is useless.

Answer 10

the truth is, liberal democrats and run-of-the-mill bush-haters don't really care whether or not the conspiracy is real. it only serves as another excuse to vent their pathological rage at this president. they will stop at nothing and will give any moronic idea or obvious propoganda weight as long as it aids their agenda of hate...
