I know conspiracy theories can be interesting, the AIDS epidemic, The Denver Airport, Crack in the 80's, 911 and the list goes on, but I think you are opening up a wound that a lot of the victims are trying to now heal.
To say that there is anything more to this horrendous event, is not going to be received kindly.
The fact is; people are still in mourning, and on 9/11: There were 2,974 fatalities, not including the 19 hijackers: 246 on the four planes (no one on board any of the hijacked aircraft survived) 2,603 in New York City in the towers and on the ground, and 125 at the Pentagon....and that is the truth.
Can we just allow them to mourn without having them have to read about stuff like this?

September Eleven is no longer a mystery it was on the discovery channel a couple weeks ago.An Iraq bomber was sent on a plane to crash into a major building that could kill thousands of innocence ppl.Scientist have said the trade center could have been fine if the gas tanks would not have exploded then the structure would have held.But if you want the scientific anwer here it is.
On September 11, 2001 at 8:46 a.m., Al Qaeda suicide hijackers crashed American Airlines Flight 11 into the northern facade of the North Tower.[31][32] Seventeen minutes later, at 9:03 a.m., a second team of hijackers crashed United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower,[32][33] which collapsed at 9:59 a.m. At 10:28 a.m., the North Tower collapsed. At 5:20 p.m., 7 World Trade Center collapsed. The four remaining buildings in the WTC plaza sustained heavy damage from debris, and were ultimately demolished.
At the time of the incident, media reports suggested that tens of thousands might have been killed in the massacre, as on any given day upwards of 100,000 people could be inside the towers. Ultimately, 2,750 [34] death certificates were filed relating to the 9/11 attacks, as of May 23, 2007. Of these, 1,614 (59%) were identified from recovered physical remains. Morgan Stanley was the largest tenant in the World Trade Center, with approximately 2,500 employees in the South Tower and 1,000 in the North Tower.[35] For the following 8½ months, the World Trade Center site cleanup and recovery continued 24 hours a day and involved thousands of workers. The massive pile of debris smoked and smoldered for 99 days.

Political Correctness is the Incubator of Islamism
by Amil Imani
14 Feb, 2007
Time and again we are told by the politically correct “experts” not to worry about Islam posing a threat to our way of life. We are repeatedly lectured that only a very small minority of Muslims are troublemakers who are giving the peaceful masses of Muslims a bad name. We are also informed that the terrorists, who happened to be Muslims, are the disaffected and the young. And not to worry, since as the fire of youth turns to ashes of old age the rebellious will mellow, as they always have.
With heavy assurances like this, coming from so many know-it-all authoritative figures, we can sleep soundly without the aid of sleeping pills. After all, people reason that these pundits are “experts” whose job is to know and tell it like it is. Those who voice contrary views must be a bunch of racist, alarmist hate mongers. Who is right?
Wouldn’t be more prudent to let the facts settle the matter, rather than blindly accepting either position? Of course it would, except for one huge problem. In the face of threats, people tend to go to the mind’s medicine cabinet and take a few denial and rationalization pills, in the same way that it is the aspirin bottle they turn to when a headache strikes. Why not? We are the Easy Species. We love effortless, quick and simple solutions. And that’s not invariably bad. It has given us all kinds of labor and time saving devices.
Yet, the Islam problem is very real and deadly. Neither the pronouncements of the experts, nor the tranquilizing pills of the mind can make it go away. It is here and it shows every sign of imposing itself on us.
Europe is already badly infected with Islamism. It is the coal-miners’ canary. It is telling us that the next stop is America. We must act and act now. We must not sacrifice our cherished way of life and the lives of our children at the altar of political correctness: the incubator of Islamofascism.

I can't say, but how about if I just quote some firefighter and other emergency personnel who were on site that day.....
then think about it. (source listed below, these are actual testimonies from the emergency responders that the NY city government kept secret until they were forced to reveal them under Freedom of Information act which makes me wonder too).
...then I just remember there was just an
explosion. It seemed like on television when they blow up these buildings. It seemed like it was going all the way around like a belt, all these explosions
-Firefighter Richard Banaciski
there was a Port Authority cop with us and he said that they were given reports that the second building was going to come down
-- Firefighter Eric Berntsen
As my officer and I were looking at the south tower, it just gave. It actually gave at a lower floor, not the floor where the plane hit, because we originally had thought there was like an internal detonation explosives because it went in succession, boom, boom, boom, boom, and then the tower came down
-Firefighter Ed Cachia
We had to switch staircases. I believe the staircase we were in, there was no way down it anymore on the lower level. There was word that it had been taken out; we don't know what from.
-Battalion Chief Malkin of the Safety Battalion.
And while I was still in that immediate area, the south tower, 2 World Trade Center, there was what appeared to be at first an explosion. it appeared at the very top, simultaneously from all four sides, materials shot out horizontally. And then there seemed to be a momentary delay before you could see the beginning of the collapse
-Chief Cruthers, who is the Citywide Tour Commander
The top of the building kind of started
to rumble, and we all looked up. It looked --
appeared that that first tower, the south tower, had exploded, the top of it. ThatÃs what I saw, what a lot of us saw
- Father John Delendick
. I thought there had been an explosion or a bomb that they had blown up there
- Captain Michael Donovan
. I should say that people in the street and myself included thought that the roar was so loud that the explosive - bombs were going off inside the building
- Assistant Commissioner James Drury, of the Bureau of Investigations and Trials in the Fire Department
All we saw was a puff of smoke coming from about 2 thirds of the way up. Some people thought it was an explosion
- Tom Fitzpatrick, Deputy Commissioner for Administration

I wonder too.
That's why I think it's a good idea for us to find Osama. He might have some information that is important to figure out this puzzle.
I think it's strange, in scientific terms, how the buildings reacted to the plane attacks, which indicates that there might have been other things happening to those buildings in conjunction with the plane impacts.
I also think it's strange that at least one Bush family member profited big time from the whole incident. Maybe a coincidence, but if so, there should have been more effort to look into all the details and connections so that people would have little reason to ask these kinds of questions.
Investigations are important, not only for those who are accusing, but for the accused to clear themselves of rumors and innuendos. Bush's administration put very little effort into investigation. That's very odd. That fact alone means that people will continue asking questions, and they should if they are responsible citizens.

Conspiracies and theories were all presumptions. It is a fact that Al Qaeda was responsible for 9/11.

We will never know....just like with JFK. The sad thing is there are people that are still so closed minded to the idea. Those are the same people who are helping to distroy this country from the inside out. The information is there for everyone to read and see, but for them to even try to open up their minds is too much.
People are weak.

Osama Bin Freaking Laden did it, when he did not succeed the first time to bring them down he vowed to do it again. He did just what he said he was going to do. There is no stupid conspiracy theory. Osama did it, he planned it and his crazy co-hearts did the rest. Hello, he blew up one of our embassies in Africa. Blew up one of our ships.
That is the truth, stop letting these flakes rob you of your common sense.

The 9/11 airplane attacks were conducted by radical Muslim terrorists, and were acts of outright murder. They were an attack on Western Civilization, not just the United States. Over 50 nations lost citizens on 9/11, not just the US. The Radical Muslims have vowed to kill us and we had better get ready to protect ourselves from bunch of zealot murderers. I can see no way of negotiating with them Look at over 50 years of attempts by the whole world over the Israel--Palestein mess. Any group that trains their youngsters to become suicide bombers must be defeated for the protection of all. You can't reason with unreasonable people. We all need to remember this in November of '08. Anyone advocating negotiations with these murderers should not be President of the United States.

Americans are gullible, pointblank. Here is a link on families of 9/11 who demand that the CIA release some "documents":
http://rense.com/general77/9ins.htm
Now what would they have to hide that they haven't released docuements from about 6 years ago?
