Wrong, in my experience at least the people I've met in real life that go with the conspiracies hard core style are actually the uneducated ones that try to be clever - but fail.

Would that be the famous "Piledriver" theory? You know, the one where the top 15% of the building crushes the remaining 85% of undamaged structure below it into dust...and then crushes itself when it reaches the ground..that "theory"? I'd love to see a physical experiment demonstrating that whopper..not just a few equations and a couple of 2 dimensional diagrams.....
A perfect example of where some people oversimplify what happened. Here's a little clue - they weren't solid objects.
You can't do 'basic math' treating them as such. There were many complex forces at work and you have to take into consideration the properties of the individual components of the building and the way it was constructed.
You can dazzle with "complex mathematics" all you like, but unless you can reproduce the theory through experimentation, it will always remain just a highly implausible theory.

That's like saying . . . .

I was watching some 9/11 footage of NIST site, and was quite taken back by the commentary by the camera man and friends. The second tower had not even fallen yet and the radio was already broadcasting "Afghanistan" "Bin Laden"...
Almost forgot how streamline the whole problem-reaction-solution was.

Funny how they always know in advance isn't it?
It is certainly true that on 9/11 the BBC broadcast that WTC7 had collapsed when it was still standing. Then the satellite transmission seemed to cut out mysteriously when the correspondent was still talking. Then Richard Porter admitted in his blog last year that the BBC had lost those key tapes of BBC World News output from the day.
So is that proof that we at the BBC are part of a huge sinister conspiracy or is there a simpler explanation?
The mystery of the missing tapes didn't last that long. One very experienced film librarian kindly agreed to have another look for us one night. There are more than a quarter of a million tapes just in the Fast Store basement at Television Centre. The next morning I got a call to say the tapes had been found. They'd just been put back on the wrong shelf - 2002 rather than 2001. Not so sinister after all.
What about the incorrect reporting of the collapse of Tower 7? Having talked to key eyewitnesses who were actually at Ground Zero that day it is clear that, as early as midday, the fire service feared that Tower 7 might collapse. This information then reached reporters on the scene and was eventually picked up by the international media.
The internet movie Loose Change has been viewed by more than 100 million people according to its makers and it asks this question in the latest film release: "Where did CNN and the BBC get their information especially considering the building was still standing directly behind their reporters?"
It turns out that the respected news agency Reuters picked up an incorrect report and passed it on. They have issued this statement:
"On 11 September 2001 Reuters incorrectly reported that one of the buildings at the New York World Trade Center, 7WTC, had collapsed before it actually did. The report was picked up from a local news story and was withdrawn as soon as it emerged that the building had not fallen."
I put this to the writer and director of Loose Change, Dylan Avery. I asked whether he believed the BBC was part of the conspiracy. Given the question his film had posed about the BBC I was surprised by Dylan's response: "Of course not, that's ludicrous. Why would the BBC be part of it?"
He added candidly: "I didn't really want to put that line in the movie."
And the reason the interview with the BBC correspondent, Jane Standley, ended so abruptly? The satellite feed had an electronic timer, which cut out at 1715 exactly.

No, we didn't miss it. Most of us have known about Richard Gage and his....lies...for a long time. We just ignore him...and people that believe him.

Yeah yeah yeah. Like the official story lies. We have also known about them for a long time.
I like Richard Gage and his research. Who said he was lying?
