AgentSmithI do entertain conspiracy theories - just not all of them
LumosAnyway, now that you conceded that the CIA et al do in fact exert influence outside the sphere considered righteous for most people, how does that fit in with your conviction that on 9/11, everything occured as described by official sources?
AgentSmith[...] The worst thing about the Eyewitness video is they spend far too long speculating and making false assumptions when the evidence should speak for itself.
Assuming the original footage really has not been altered it is a useful piece of evidence, to be honest, but the information is lost by the awful presentation and the blatant lies or misinterpretations with regards to the debris trajectories (going by your response in my thread you obviously have a high degreee of knowledge in the area of science so I'm sure you spotted it straight away)...
Rick Siegel The very wealthy pirates on the Internet have made our film available in full digital quality. No other film in history to date has this acclaim. No one has put up the vast resources to capture and host 4 Gigabytes of data for one single film illegally. Days to download. The largest resolution prior to this was three 700 Meg files for the 3 hours in “Lord of the Rings” Amazing but true. So now 911Eyewitness the DVD takes the prize of the first film to rate full digital pirating as a file on the Internet. It is truly the number one film.
AgentSmith But anyway, I am really flattered that you seem to suddenly have taken an interest in me, my ego is hugely inflated by your apparant stalking.

First of all, I didn't promise you anything. That you claim otherwise shows your dedication to honesty and truth itself.
, looks like you've really exposed me there..?
Don't bother responding, I'm putting you back on ignore. Gracias for the laughs, though.
i.e. "I do entertain conspiracy theories, but only abstruse ones, as to taint every conspiracy theory". Yeah, we all know how it works, no need to elaborate.

Do you want me to point out how this was no answer, at all, to my question? You, as usual, sidetracked it - however, I'll adress your new direction of argumentation: "False assumptions"? "The information is lost" by "the awful presentation"? Blatant lies?
Quite a pile of profound and/or superficial accusations considering the evidence you bring forth to make your case, which has so many holes that it does not even seem to exist! You're right regarding one thing though: I do have a degree of knowledge sufficient to spot blatantly erroneous physical explanations, however, I didn't spot one within the movie we're discussing. I propose that instead of reiterating to what degree the movie erred, you simply state where it erred, for once.
Concerning your suspicions due to the DVD being purchasable, you probably haven't noticed the author mentioning how:

So this goes down the drain as well.
I have "suddenly taken interest in you" simply because I decided to purge my ignore list for laughs. Funny how you're flattered, hugely inflating your ego, when some loony, tinfoil hat sporting whacko starts stalking you.
Watch your feet!

I am also suspicious of someone who claims to not be in something for the money and then hashes a DVD together for sale when most other people would stick the raw footage out on P2P and have a website detailing how to get it and/or with torrent links.
But all that's just speculation, the raw footage (if genuine) is of course interesting.

just 'cause a bunch of people nodded their heads, doesn't mean you're right.
i'm not saying your wrong, but i can't think why the middle of that arc would be higher than what is close to the building. i also can't think why so much dust would exactly follow the larger chunks.
anyway, i don't even care, because i watched the video, and i saw new information that i had never been exposed to. like helicopters hiding in the smoke plume. and an actual plotted rate of collapse for tower seven. (zero air resistance, even. it was clearly illustrated that tower seven fell at the rate of the acceleration of gravity in a VACUUM. did you watch that part, because i haven't seen you mention it?)
you know, technical manuals are boring as all get out, too, but the information is not rendered useless just because it wasn't written by a poet. this movie is not spielberg. it's not supposed to be.
(while we're here, though, that narrator's voice was to die from)

Actually you seem to have missed the parts where Rick was on here shamelessy promoting his movie. Now you can't see them as he was put on global ignore for being rude and shameless promoting.

So instead of claiming he was shamelessly promoting his video for profit, among other things, which must've probably been worse warranting draconic measures like a global ignore, provide the proof. I would've expected any highly offensive content being quoted, but there was none.

Edit: I'd also like to add another example of bad science in the video. At one point they take the recorded seismic energy and convert it directly into the KE of the caps. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure there is no direct correlation of seismic energy to KE. This in spite of the fact that his numbers are much higher than any I have seen calculated for the force of the caps, and actually help my argument. They are still wrong.
[edit on 3-1-2006 by LeftBehind]
The gravitational potential energy associated with the collapse of each tower is at least 10^11J. The energy propagated as seismic waves for ML 2.3 is about 10^6 to 10^7 J. Hence, only a very small portion of the potential energy was converted into seismic waves. Most of the energy went into deformation of buildings and the formation of rubble and dust.

In the pages 1-10 there are 2 quotes, none of which would warrant a global ignore in my opinion. Then we got MacMerdin, who's now banned because he argued about excessive quoting, afaik.
In the 2nd quote Rick said he was no expert on physics and as such wouldn't argue about it or pretend he was more qualified than he was. Seems like a wise and honest move to me.
