You're absolutely right, it wasn't a government conspiracy.
Some facts:
1) Steel loses 90% of its strength (but doesn't melt) at 1100 deg C. That's the temperature of typical building fire & that's why steel frames are protected with fire-proofing.
2) Anyway, the main cause of the towers collapsing was structural damage caused by the jets, the fires only helped.
3) Something that a lot of people miss is expansion of the steel by the heat. This occurs at REALLY low temperatures, yet it's irresistable and will bend the steel & snap connectors.
4) Numerous body parts were found at Shanksville
Although there were no intact bodies, over 1500 body parts were found, and most of the passengers were identified through the use of DNA. Mr. Miller (the coroner) later reported his findings on this.

5) Abundant plane debris & body parts were found at the Pentagon
Photos of plane wreckage were printed in all the papers. Here's a nice photo from 9/11 that clearly shows plane wreckage:
http://www.popularmechanics.com/technolo...
(scroll down after clicking).
In addition 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
The report contains abundant references to plane debris & body parts found in the Pentagon. For example, on page 26 it says:
“The remains of most of the passengers on the aircraft were found near the end of the travel of the aircraft debris. The front landing gear (a relatively solid and heavy object) and the flight data recorder (which had been located near the rear of the aircraft) were also found nearly 300 ft into the structure. By contrast, the remains of a few individuals (the hijacking suspects), who most likely were near the front of the aircraft, were found relatively close to the aircraft’s point of impact with the building."
The remains of the passengers were DNA-matched to relatives.
Every one of the hijackers was also DNA-verified by the coroners office.
6) Yes, politicians lie. That doesn't make them traitorous mass murderers. In fact most people lie or have lied. I wouldn't get too impressed by government lying.

I don't consider myself a conspiracy theorist. I believe that the planes were hijacked and that Al Qaida is responsible for the deaths and feel really bad that all those innocent people died.
However, I don't understand why the government hasn't investigated the incongruencies in the videos and in the testimony of eye witnesses and people who built the building. With or without the asbestos, that steel was rated at 2000 degrees Celcius (meaning it weakens at that temperature), jet fuel burns at less than half that. Police, firefighters, survivors, journalists, are on video claiming they heard a series of explosions from the lower levels of the buildings. Building 7 fell as if it had been professionally demolished and it wasn't even hit. All three buildings fell at freefall speeds, which is physically impossible with any sort of support underneath it. And last but surely not least, in the history of steel frame buildings, never has one fallen from fire, even after having burned consistently for days.
So, if you want to talk about not disrespecting the dead, lets at least try to uncover ALL of the truth, and not ignore the parts that are hard to explain.
I would be glad to hear your explanation, or anyones, as to how all of those things can be possible.

When Kennedy was shot, everyone assumed it was an assasination by the powers that be.
Since the death of that one man, every year more and more evidence comes out to support that theory.
Now that was the death of one man, that could not be kept secrt. How on earth do you imagine tey were going to keep secret the death of thousands.
The deliberate attack on the twin towers by Bush or any other government figure or organisation, would have involved the cooperation of hundreds of co-conspirators. How on earth were they going to keep all of those people silent.
The USA has technology, manpower and ambition beyond belief, but they do like to talk, there is no way in the world that a conspiracy could have been kept secret.
Time to let the dead rest in peace and move on!

i have built buildings with steel exactly the same way the towers were built with q decking and c canell and i beams and hollow structural beams ,fire does more damage to steel then it does to wood i have seen big wood beams survive a fire and pass inspection for safety while some steel beams had to much fatigue and had to be replaced because they twisted and sagged the wood didn't, also q decking is mostly 20 gage with concrete on it ,heat can do damage to it very fast when it fails it usually falls on top of the level below as soon as i knew the towers where built with the those materials its a no brainier they were built like that because the weight per height ratio was efficient, they where the highest buildings ever built that way ,the heat with a good amount of weight above it is why they failed no other reason.

Can you illuminate us on your sources for your statements?
Yes, thousands of innocent people were killed and that is why questions should be asked.
My question to you is this: Why were those hijacked planes not intercepted as soon as their transponders were switched off? On any other day they would have had a couple of F16's on their tails within 15 minutes and if they did not respond or return to the filed flight plan they would eventually be shot down. By the way, my source there is NORAD.
I would be interested to hear more of your interesting "facts" and questions which I will be more than happy to provide a counter argument to.
Now go back to sleep and remember you are free to think what you are told.

If you are an American,then most major events in history have to involve a conspiracy of some sort. The moon landings,the JFK assassination,Marilyn Monroe's death,9/11.But when people blow things up in Europe,we are sensible enough to realise it was a maniac suicide bomber who has been brought up to hate the west and not a government cover up.

Where are the bodies and the plane (flight 93) which supposedly crashed at Shanksville. The Coroner says that he has not even seen a drop of blood, never mind any body parts.
Where also are the bodies and the remains of the Boeing 757 which was supposed to have crashed into the pentagon.
Could you please enlighten us and the Coroner as to where the bodies are please.

They're probably the same people who believe that the government is hiding aliens at Area 51 and that man has never been to the moon (some people think it was filmed in a studio).
The worst are the ones who say that the planes that were flown into the buildings, were actually US government planes with no passengers, some even say they were missiles. That's extremely offensive to the families who lost loved ones on those flights.

You obviously didn't do much research to come up with an affirmation like this. Which story you think is more plausible? The one that is given by the mass-media and your government or the one from tens of construction engineers and scientists with Ph.d. diplomas and unlimited experience? It is obvious that the evidence they discovered after 911 under the rubbles can translate into the fact that the towers were demolished in purpose. So please, don't tell me you believe the rubbish info that the media feds day by day to the incult masses. They insult even the intelligence of a five year old.

The steel frame of the buildings weren't brought down because of fire, the temperature wasn't high enough!
The stanchions that were visible after the collapse clearly showed all the characteristics of having been damaged by the type of thermal explosives used in demolishing steel framed buildings!
The break angles were consistent with demolition practice!
Do some research & you might learn something!
