I'VE looked into the events of that day and I have not EVER come away believing that what happened on that day was anything but what they said happened. Even during the days on ATS where I was believing that the economy was days away from going into world wide collapse. I STILL didn't believe that the government did 9/11. From what I've seen, it is usually the people predisposed to wanting to believe that the government is ALWAYS evil that tend to believe the truther movement.
Oh yea, I've also researched the history of the truther movement, and found that there is a lot of deception and lies surrounding prominent truthers. I've also seen that many truthers don't know what real research is either. So many fallacies and confirmation bias present in the truth movement. See, I'm not opposed to believing that there wasn't some sort of conspiracy taking place involving some world power bankrolling Al Queda. I just don't think it was the US and I DEFINITELY don't think the culprits were anyone other than the people who are said to have done it.

Why was any of the evidence destroyed?
If I was going to do a false flag and I had control of the evidence, anything that could point to explosives would be destroyed.
If I had nothing to hide, I would have made sure to follow basic principles of Law, which state not to destroy any evidence. And the destruction of evidence in any other case would be a criminal offence.
So why did we not follow common law practices with the worst event on US soil?
I don't need to hear about cognitive dissonance, I want to know who made the call to destroy the evidence and why.
The destruction of evidence is a fact. It is also a fact that destruction of evidence in common law is a crime. I am not using my imagination.

It works exactly that way.
You've made the accusation. It's up to you to prove it.

...and people.
Don't forget the people. Seems to me, all too many of us do.
In our rush to blame someone, anyone, we seem to forget that a lot of people died that day.
Here's an interesting experiment:
- Go through a number of recent 911 threads.
- Make one list of unique posters who are truthers and a second list of unique posters who are OSers.
> I guarantee that you will be surprised. I predict a long first list and a very short second list.
See where I'm going with this?

If not for media complicity in the crime of cover-up, the official story would have died years ago. It cannot withstand scrutiny.
Probably. Mainly because they are uninformed or gullible enough to believe the things the "truth" movement has turned into a near religious belief.
Researchers -- psychologists and social scientists, mostly -- in the U.S. and United Kingdom say data indicate that, contrary to those mainstream media stereotypes, "conspiracy theorists" appear to be more sane than people who accept official versions of controversial and contested events.
If I did a poll on OS believers and OS deniers, I believe the OS deniers will win the polls with an over whelming vote.

The official narrative is true then? As stated in the 9/11 commision report? I would really like to hear the physics behind your own narrative that line up with the report. My father who is a captain in my towns fire department and my uncle who is an architect both discredit how the buildings fell, to them it was just impossible on all levels of normal structure failure, if anything the buildings would have toppled at the collision point or just above that point, sense the heat above that point would have been hotter than below. In fact there was no damage done below the lower half of each the buildings, so it is literally impossible for a building to fall into itself like what happened (unless there were explosives or some other device to weaken the base structure).
This is coming from people that have witnessed bombs exploding in wood buildings and those don't even fall. These towers were built to withstand these events, unless there were multiple bombs in those planes, and no way could there have been unless they were planted before departure.
Truther, is not a term of respect.
Nor does it reflect reality.
You, and others, have been shown time and again that the things you rest your arguments on, are either completely false or are not an accurate reflection of the facts.
Look at the title of this thread.... "paper fires....." it is put forth as some sort of argument against the collapse of the buildings from office fires. And yet, we KNOW that designers contemplate this very fact. Again, if office fires are not a threat to structural stability...WHY DO THEY SPRAY FIREPROOFING ON THE STRUCTURAL STEEL?.......because the engineers know that, unchecked office fires will reach the temps needed for steel to fail....
