I've been off the ATS forums for quite some time, but now that I have time I should be back for a bit. Anyway, I've just recently watched the "Loose Change" video about 9/11 and it seems pretty convincing, although I don't have the means to check up on most of the claims. Has anything from that video been debunked or criticsized yet? I'm particularly interested in a few of the points, like how it's impossible to connect to someone with a cell phone in a plane above 8,000 feet, how the nose of the plane was too structurally weak to put a hole though the other side of the pentagon, and the chain of explosions (like a demolition) that occured inside one of the towers before it collapsed. I assume most of you have already seen the two-part video, but the link is below for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

The video stills released from the government were obviously manipulated to propagate this myth.

As far as I can tell though, everything else seems to make sense besides the "burning time" comparison of the WTC vs. other buildings as I mentioned earlier. The author asks why the WTC collapsed after only an hour when other more structurally weak structures lasted 18 times that were left standing. The glaringly obvious difference between the WTC and any other building the the fact that the WTC was hit by a plane.

The mistake at the start imo, is saying that the aircraft "fired a missile at WTC seconds before impact" which is just bull.

yeah, that particular part wasn't too convincing. Maybe that should have been put in later after the more believable claims.

What are your general thoughts on the video, or more importantly on the entire situation? Are you convinced of a conspiracy or skeptic of the claims?

Sorry Bsbray, your reply sounded very sarcastic
If what you said is true, then Loose Change should really have added that bit of information in to bolster their claim.
