I don't believe the media, I believe the scientists.
And every single one says the conspiracy science is rubbish.
On the other hand, who made all these internet movies & what are their condentials????
The following is a list of REAL experts who REJECT the conspiracy theory:
-- The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) http://www.asce.org/pressroom/news/display_press.cfm?uid=1057
-- Massachusetts Institute of Technology. See http://web.mit.edu/civenv/wtc/
--NIST (National Institute on Science and Technology):

Also see the lead investigator of NIST explain the collapse at

-- The leading demolition journal in the world is against the conspiracy theorists:

-- Purdue (http://www.purdue.edu/UNS/html4ever/020910.Sozen.Pentagon.html
--Professor Bazant (Northwestern Dept of Civil Engineering) is one of only 14 people to win the Prager Award in engineering. He first described the collapse mechanism as follows: http://www.debunking911.com/ProgressiveCollapseWTC-6-23-2006.pdf
--FEMA along with American Society of Civil Engineers, did an extensive analysis of the WTC collapse (ASCE/FEMA World Trade Center Building Performance Study (BPS) Team)
http://www.fema.gov/rebuild/mat/mat_fema403.shtm
It’s useful to see the investigation team & their credentials at: http://www.asce.org/responds/wtc_team.cfm
-- Popular Mechanics published a huge article citing 300 renowned experts in demolition & engineering.
http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/military_law/1227842.html
-- Columbia University has permanent seismographic recorders that was running on 9/11 which clearly show no explosives during the collapse of Towers 1 & 2, or of WTC7 . See page 2 of
http://www.implosionworld.com/Article-WTC%20STUDY%208-06%20w%20clarif%20as%20of%209-8-06%20.pdf
--The “American Society of Civil Engineers” & the “Structural Engineering Institute” (both are non-governmental) investigated the Pentagon crash. Their report is called "The Pentagon Performance Report" & it’s at:
http://www.fire.nist.gov/bfrlpubs/build03/PDF/b03017.pdf

It is possible that the blaze, started by jet fuel and then engulfing the contents of the offices, in a highly confined area, generated fire conditions significantly more severe than those anticipated in a typical office fire.
Eventually, the loss of strength and stiffness of the materials resulting from the fire, combined with the initial impact damage, would have caused a failure of the truss system supporting a floor, or the remaining perimeter columns, or even the internal core, or some combination. Failure of the flooring system would have subsequently allowed the perimeter columns to buckle outwards. Regardless of which of these possibilities actually occurred, it would have resulted in the complete collapse of at least one complete storey at the level of impact.
Once one storey collapsed all floors above would have begun to fall. The huge mass of falling structure would gain momentum, crushing the structurally intact floors below, resulting in catastrophic failure of the entire structure. While the columns at say level 50 were designed to carry the static load of 50 floors above, once one floor collapsed and the floors above started to fall, the dynamic load of 50 storeys above is very much greater, and the columns at each level were almost instantly destroyed as the huge upper mass fell to the ground.

The truth can hurt more initially. But a lie hurts much worse in the long run.

I lost two people I knew who were on the plane which hit the Pentagon. So, take your theories and stick them where the sun doesn't shine. You people make me sick!

Yes, I believe that airplanes were crashed by terrorists and no, I do not believe the tabloids, etc. Facts are facts and my eyes no speak with forked tongue.

Get real. You are a conspiracy nut. Do you even realize how many people would need to keep a secret that big? Even Bill Maher thinks you guys are whackos.

9/11 was an inside job. Bush Administration are the real terrorists to watch out for. 'Loose Change final part' should only be viewed by viewers with an open mind. I don't believe in much things but I certainly believe that an investigation into 9/11 should be taking extremely seriously for the sake of our unborn children.
BUSH CONTROLS THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND PEOPLE ON HERE BELIEVE IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA. PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA DON'T BELIEVE IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
