Once they approached the subject with an open mind.
I'm talking about people with a grasp of the laws of Newtonian physics, nothing fancy, just being familiar with the agreed laws of physics and mechanics.
By the way, what was the Popular Mechanics thing about? I read it, and was bemused that its physical sophistry was so clumsy.

I have just spent 5 minutes thinking over this theory.
1 To blow up a building that size requires a lot of preparation. Drilling, planting tons of explosives and laying all the cables so that the explosives detonate in the correct order and NOBODY saw them do it !!!!!!!
2 To arrange 4 aircraft to be hijacked and crash into the towers killing all on board and do this to coincide with the detonation of the explosives almost to the minute. !!!!!
Anyone who seriously believes this must be off their rocker

The building code used for those buildings proved engineers followed it to the letter just in the way the towers came down. It was right by the book. They were built to demolish in that manner if it ever came to that and it did. I consider that an engineering marvel. If code had not been followed the towers would have collapsed differently and the neighboring buildings would have suffered tremendous amount of damage.

I wondered about this for a while, also. Then I decided that any ideas I have regarding it won't make any difference, my life goes on.
And besides, when they do building demolition, they blow up the foundation of the building and let the upper portion fall into itself. The twin towers did the opposite.
Yes there are alot of descrepancies and questions. But I have to worry about my personal things in my life, and not waste my time dwelling on things I have no control over.

How does the second tower being hit by a large plane, at speed and full of avgas fit into this theory?

Those with weak minds create conspiracy theories because thay have a hard time rationalizing that a few men could cause such devistation. That one man could murder a president and cause so much grief or that a few men could devastingly kill thousands and bring the world to a halt. It happens, its life, deal with it.

I actually saw a documentary on CSPAN about this about two years ago. They had pieces of the building as well as the foundation. It did indicate that explosives were planted. But the Afghans probably planted them to make the building fall quicker. I don't think they were planted by the government.

The PERFECT thing for you to watch is a documentary called Loose Change. It's very very eye-opening and extremely interesting even if you believe it was in fact the middle east bombing us.

I saw an episode about this on the History Channel, I think?

Screw Newtonian physics; I saw it with own two eyes.

yep. it's amazing, steel's melting point went *way* down all of a sudden, just for that one day in history. not only for the towers, but for some surrounding buildings that were not talked about, as well.
