Andy, I'm not sure if you have seen the September Clues videos but you should.  I don't say watch them to be convinced by anything either.  I just find it interesting that other people have completely different ideas about 9/11.  It's worth going through these videos just to see what others are positing.

I do warn you though, some of it is quite difficult to get your head around.  Again, not because it is true but because people have these ideas or have analysed this stuff to this degree.  It's by no means amateurish in regards to the effort put in, even if you may think the end result seems preposterous.

I like how this thread has evolved from "Vote for your favorite conspiracy" to another endless, boring, disturbing debate about 9/11 and the proofs it was a set-up to make people eat more KFC stuff and buy iPads.

Or something like that.

I've not posted a single link or video, Picard.  I've deliberately not done so as people can find this stuff by themselves.

I'm just replying to people with my thoughts.

Really? I don;t watch the BBC news very much to be honest, but the footage I've seen the most is that taken by the French film crew who were in NYC making a documentary about the NY fire dept. That was taken from the ground (obviously) a few blocks away from the WTC.

Is this the footage you mean?

Thanks. I'll look it up.

No, I wasn't talking about you, I was... Oh, nevermind, I give up.

Note to self: the American have lost their sense of humour somewhere between the 80's and nowadays.

That's the Naudet Brothers film which I mentioned as showing the first 'plane hit.  It's the only footage that shows this too.

There was a lot more "live" footage of the second 'plane on the BBC and the American Networks (CNN, Fox, ABC).  From various different angles too.  I'm sure you must have seen these?  They were featured in Loose Change as well.

I'm sure the same footage was used by ITN and Channel 4 as well, by the way.

No, all you've done is regurgitate the same lack of thought over and over... wait, actually you've gotten more and more ridiculous each time.  Remote control jumbo jets?  Confused 
 
You aren't even replying to peoples, though, because you won't read what they post.  You claim open-mindedness then refuse to read anything that might refute that the most ridiculous possible scenario of what happened happened.

Of course, 9/11 is all in the news footage too.  It's not as though 8 million people live in New York city or that they ever look up.

I'm not here to post links or videos.  All the videos and forums our out there for anyone who has doubts to investigate.  I'm not trying to change anyone's minds either.  If you believe what you do, then I have no problem with it.

Yes, remote control jumbo jets.  How is that an unbelievable concept to you?  The technology is there.

I have read what everyone has posted.  Including your own.  You've not brought anything to this debate.

I can refute many of the ridiculous scenarios.  I refute the whole Vicsim thing.  I refute any link to Illuminati or NWO.  I'm sure there's more stuff I refute too but my dinner is ready and I'm planning on eating it.

A question: do you know anyone who was personally affected by the events?  I mean, say any families that lost loved ones, for example.

It was a small area of New York, so I'd lower the 8 million a bit. Wink

Some of the footage is questionable as well.

I had to put my jacket potato on for a few more minutes, hence why I'm back so soon.

You're open mind forgot about this:
Why should I plagarize why you're wrong when I could just link to it?

No.  Wait... I thought you said those loved ones were all fake.

A small area being the sky above the two tallest buildings in the city.  I know 8 million people didn't see it but what % do you think need to have to equal a significant amount of witnesses? 

Some of the footage is questionable as well.

Did you wrap the potato in tin foil or is that reserved for your head? LOL
 
Just a basic question here, for you:  How many people do you think would have to have been involved to carry out this conspiracy?  Just curious as to how many people it would take to plan it, confuse eyewitnesses, fudge the film, control the planes, build the massive secret remote controlled planes, plant the explosives, hide the launching of massive remote controlled planes, brainwash airtraffic controllers up and down the east coast into not noticing those weren't real planes, ... I could keep going.

*plagiarise

I haven't read it yet but I sincerely doubt it'll make any difference.  You have no idea if I'm wrong or not.  Neither do I.  We could both be wrong.

I did not say that.  I said other people think that.  I actually said in the previous post that I rebuke the whole Vicsim idea.

You did not answer my question though.

I could keep going.


Again, I have no idea how many people.  It's not a question anyone can answer.

To confuse witnesses isn't difficult.  Especially if what they saw was what has commonly been reported.  If they were R/C planes, they'd look like real ones.  No need to confuse witnesses.  They'd see what everyone else saw.

By the way, I'm not saying they were R/C.  It's just one of many ideas.

Fudging the film is also easy.  The presenters wouldn't need to know anything.  They're like the witnesses above, they see what everyone else sees.  You could probably keep those in the know to a minimum here.

Controlling the 'planes is easy too.  You don't even have to build new ones.  Having said that, the two 'planes that hit the tower were still registered a long time afterwards.  When aircraft crash and are unrepairable, they get deregistered as being able to fly and would also be taken off the American Airlines list.

Planting the explosive wouldn't too difficult either.  There were likely always contract builders in doing work.  I'm not saying it was done by contract builders either, before you say that's what I said.

The Air Traffic control thing is something I've not seen mentioned, so I cannot comment about that but I've also read that those 'planes with those registrations were not meant to fly that day, so there was need for ATC to notice anything amiss here.

I'm not saying I believe all the above.  I'm just positing several ideas I have read and relaying some of them.  I am still very much looking into all this myself.  There's a lot to go through.  Besides, I'm not really all that bothered about it.

It's Andy's turn now:

I've watched Ripple Effect now.  It's all rather interesting, I must say.

I do have a few issues with the presentation though.  The narrator (not sure if it's the same guy who researched it all and made the video but presume it is) concludes a lot of stuff but doesn't back a lot of it up with sources.  He says such-and-such said this but doesn't always show a clip, or a newspaper/online source.  So us as the viewer have to just assume he's correct.  I realise he probably wanted to fit it all into an hour but I did feel a bit like he'd rushed through it a bit.

Secondly, he pretty much blatantly says that the mock terrorist threat that day turned into the real thing and thus then went onto presume all the non-terrorists didn't know they were involved in a real event and didn't show any proof of this.

I still see much evidence of an inside-job though, I just feel his presentation could have been better.  I shall probably now end up looking into some of the stuff mentioned and try and find sources to back these things up.

Your continued ugly comments are out of line and completely unnecessary--  might I add James has been nothing but civil.   Why don't you stop relying on personal insults and argue like a man.

I haven't been completely civil, David but I agree!  I think I did say he hadn't offered anything to the debate.  That was as uncivil as I've been, I think.
