Once and for all, 9/11 was a terrorist attack, not a conspiracy

1) Inside traders? The reason that there was an extraordinary amount of betting against United Airlines was because of a labor contract negotiation that collapsed. This would mean that many pilots and employees would go on strike costing the airline a crapload of money, so It would make sense that people would bet against an airline if they thought it would lose millions of dollars in the next few weeks. After the attacks the stocks went down? No duh they would. If 4 passenger airliners were hijacked and crashed then that would scare the crap out of people into NOT FLYING. The number of people who lew on airplanes from August to September of 2001 dropped almost by half which cost airlines a ton of money because they just lost half of their source of revenue.... 2) The huge gaping hole left in the world largest office building may hint that the crash was very large. Also there were renovations that day because those renovations involved the removing of asbestos from the building, so yeah you might not want to come into work that day. It wasnt that the portion of the Pentagon was completely empty when it was attacked, more than 120 people were working in the Pentagon and died when the plane hit. http://en.wikipedia.org... 3) So they made a mistake about which hand he uses big deal its one minor mistake. As for the reason why he wasnt singled out for being wanted for 9/11, that is because he was instead declared wanted for "Murder of U.S. Nationals Outside the United States; Conspiracy to Murder U.S. Nationals Outside the United States; Attack on a Federal Facility Resulting in Death" They already had plenty of reasons for his capture http://www.fbi.gov... http://www.washingtonpost.com... 4) WTC tower 7 sustained very heavy damage to the roof and side after the collapse of the North Tower. The claim that news agencies reported it collapsed a half hour before it happened was a misunderstanding because they were referring to how firefighters were pulled from the building two hours before because fire marshals FEARED it would collapse. The names of the hijackers were very common names in the Arabic World, not everyone has a completely unique name you know. The claim that FBI didnt know who they were or if there were any is pure bullsh*t because telephone calls between many organizations and flight attendants aboard the hijacked flights. The flight attendants identified which seats they came from and accurately described how they looked and later the identities of the men who purchased tickets for those seats were identified and sure enough were traced back to Al-Qaeda. WTC did receive some media attention, but it was not considered an important victory for America because if you looked to the left there were still two massive holes that used to be the site of a much bigger symbol of American pride Maine had much lower security allowing the to sneak in while they were armed, something they might have had trouble with in far larger airports. The Maine to Boston flights were crucial because those planes were later refueled for long distance flights to the west coast meaning that they would be full of fuel when the terrorists crashed them into the towers. By the way the US did not have any protocol for using military force against hijacked airliners, and we still dont. The Secret service didnt know that the US was indeed under attack until after the second plane hit the world trade center. Also the attacks were centered in New York so they had no reason to believe that a US attack in Florida was imminent. The attacks were by planes so the idea that one of them could be hijacked and then flown into one of thousands of elementary schools and it would be the one the president was in is ludicrous. furthermore it wasnt national attention that Bush was in Florida at the time, or even in an elementary school. By the way Bush had his own reasons if he didnt want to freak out the children fine, it was his call. You may have done something different but thats just your opinion. The idea that his not immediate reaction to the attacks is "the smoking guns of smoking guns" is rather sad since you say that as a statement instead of analyzing his move. Osama did not directly have anything to do with 9/11. But he claimed responsibility for the attacks on many occasions, claimed the attacks were justified, claimed that it was time for holy war with the west, denounced our ties to Israel and stationing of troops in Saudi Arabia, and was head of the organization behind the attacks. We had more than enough reasons to go after him after 9/11 Molten steel impossible? condense a 120+ story building into the ground and that gives you a hell of a lot of pressure. That combined with the already burning fires could easily melt steel and keep it molten for a long time. http://georgewashington.blogspot.com... How did a passport survive? it wasnt just a passport that survived there were huge amounts of passenger belongings that survived the crash. And the plane didnt burst into flames first, it smashed into a skyscraper and then exploded. Photos withheld? Many photos were requested to be classified right after the attack, but declassification is a process where older material is judged for declassification first. the Photos are just at the back of that line, theyll come out in time dont you worry :) United 93 didnt vaporize completely, it plowed into the ground last registered at more than 400+ mph which destroyed the fuselage. There was lots of evidence found from the crash site including black boxes, pieces of the airplane, luggage, etc. Now consider this, The Con has not provided any explanation for what possible conspiracy lies at hand, he has only cited inconsistencies in independent sources about the attacks and use those mistakes as "proof" that there is a conspiracy. If a conspiracy does exist though, it would have to be a collaborative effort from the NYFD, NYPD, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, FAA, NORAD, American Society of Civil Engineers, FEMA, CIA, FBI, NYC Port Authority, Everyone in the Pentagon (at the time of the crash and after), the 1600 widows & widowers (and no money wouldn't shut all of them up), the Media (US Mainstream, BBC, Al Jazeera, etc.), the Photographers (from all over the world), NY Governor Pataki, all of the NYC Scrap Yards, Structural Engineers Worldwide, Installers of the Demolition Devices into the buildings (and there would have had to been hundreds of them), Airphone employees who took calls from passengers, Relatives and Friends of passengers on the airplanes who took calls from them, PBS NOVA, all affected Insurance Companies.... and that's just off the top of my head The idea that there is a 9/11 conspiracy is a web of outlandish ideas from people who hate looking at facts http://911review.org...
