9/11 was NOT a hoax or conspiracy.

Lets examine your points one by one... First, the engineers of the WTC. The WTC was designed by mainly two people - architect Minoru Yamasaki and engineer Leslie Robertson. Since Yamasaki is dead (as of 1986), he's kind of hard to reach for comment. Robertson is quoted as saying: "I designed it for a 707 to smash into it." This is a DIRECT response to his being asked specifically about terrorism. Odd that the main engineer would say nothing about jet fuel. Only John Skilling, a structural engineer said anything about the fuel - mentioning that there would be a "horrendous fire." However, the problem that caused the collapse was not that the main structural elements failed. The WTC was built with a central core and an outer mesh. The floors are supported by both the core and the mesh. However, when the steel lost its strength from the kinetic collision and burning fuel, the connections between the floors and the mesh/core failed. As this happens, the floor begins to drop, causing the floors ABOVE it to fail as well and putting additional pressure on the floors above it. As one can seen in videos of the collapse - the collapse did in fact begin at the upper stories. Second - Thermate/Thermite - Thermite (which they found) is a product of Aluminum and an Oxide (like rust). The most common oxide is Iron Oxide, but any oxide will do. Other common sources available in the WTC would have included Copper. So Aluminum airplane + Oxide (rust, melted copper pipes, etc...) = Thermite. I'm no chemist, but I'm willing to bet that what can be interpreted as thermite on a scan can come from stuff that's present in a huge building and a plane. Third - there were indeed 19 hijackers, but they are all dead. UA Flight 175: Marwan al-Shehhi, Fayez Banihammad, Mohand al-Shehri, Hamza al-Ghamdi, Ahmed al-Ghamdi. AA Flight 11: Mohamed Atta al Sayed, Waleed al-Shehri, Wail al-Shehri, Abdulaziz al-Omari, Satam al-Suqami. UA Flight 93: Ziad Jarrah, Ahmed al-Haznawi, Ahmed al-Nami, Saeed al-Ghamdi. AA Flight 77: Hani Hanjour, Khalid al-Mihdhar, Majed Moqed, Nawaf al-Hazmi, Salem al-Hazmi. All the above men are dead. There is some speculation as to whether or not there was intended to be more hijackers or not. Flight 93 only had 4, whereas the other flights had five. Zacarias Moussaoui, Ramzi Binalshibh, Mohamed al-Kahtani, Fawaz al-Nashimi, Saeed al-Ghamdi, Tawfiq bin Attash, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, Mushabib al-Hamlan, Zakariyah Essabar, Saeed Ahmad al-Zahrani, Ali Abd al-Rahman al-Faqasi al-Ghamdi, Saeed al-Baluchi, Qutaybah al-Najdi, Zuhair al-Thubaiti, and Saud al-Rashi are all candidates for the remainder of the members of al-Qaeda that were to have contributed to the attacks. Most of THESE men are in fact still alive. Fourth - the "Unscathed" passport. Well... it's not unscathed - look here: (http://www.cooperativeresearch.org...) As you can plainly see - it's not unscathed by any means, unless the Saudi government incorporates decorative burn marks and such in their passports. Why did it survive? The best explanation I have is that the cockpit of an aircraft is surrounded by thick bulkheads. The ignition of the fuel would have separated the cockpit module from the rest of the plane. It's certainly possible that the cockpit module could have been part of the debris that was propelled out of the building by the explosion instead of being completely incinerated by it. Fifth - the link to Bin Laden - Aside from the fact that Bin Laden has publicly stated on numerous accounts that he was involved, had specific foreknowledge, and personally communicated with the hijackers... There is also the testimony of Khalid Sheik Mohammed that he (Mohammed) not only planned the attacks, but presented them to Bin Laden and Mohammed Atef. Bin Laden then both approved the plan, and supplied the financial means for it to take place. Sixth - the claim that Hani Hanjour was a poor pilot. Here's a quote from his flight instructor that granted him a commercial pilot's license in 1999: "Despite Hanjour's poor reviews, he did have some ability as a pilot... There's no doubt in my mind that once that [hijacked jet] got going, he could have pointed that plane at a building and hit it." I'm not sure what "experts" you consulted to determine this 270 degree spiral claim. Pilots do it frequently when they need to land on a different runway that was originally intended, or are flying a flight time that forces them onto an inconvenient (geographically) runway. It would be child's play to program the autopilot on a relatively modern 757-200 to execute the maneuver and then resume control when the plane was close to its destination. Seventh - the plane that hit the Pentagon did NOT disintegrate. There is wreckage ALL OVER in photos that were taken before the cleanup started. If you take the time to actually look closely at the photos, you can see all sorts of debris - engine parts, wheels, aluminum pieces, burnt corpses... The pentagon is made of masonry, concrete, steel, brick, and wood. Where'd all the aluminum come from in the wreckage if not a plane? Where'd the aircraft components come from? Read this: (http://www.whatreallyhappened.com...). Also, from the nature of the Pentagon's construction, much of the debris would be inside the E ring and between the D and E rings, not on the exterior of the building, where most of the pictures are taken from. Eighth - Flight 93 - Why would you expect there to be large pieces of debris from a plane that nose-dived into the ground at 500+ miles per hour? Upon impact, the airframe would have basically shattered, and then the remaining fuel would have exploded, scattering the shattered airframe all over. The actual debris field, including human remains, is much larger than the two football fields-sized area that was smoldering at the crash site. And last, but not least, the people interviewed in the WTC... There are numerous videos and pictures of the lobby. Any explosion powerful enough to push people upwards would have damaged the floor of the lobby. None of this damage is visible in any photos. The powerful explosions in the basement are probably the result of electric feedback into the machinery that controls much of the tower's internal functionality. These explosions would have been instantaneous with the crash of the jet into the upper floors. Primary tremors from the kinetic energy of the crash would probably have come after the tremors from the basement, given that the basement is some 70-ish floors closer to the lobby. Also, there is no report from the firefighters inside the building before, during, and after the collapse (Stairway B) of a "basement bomb." Certainly plausible, if not complete refutations of all points. Any more?
