This goes along with your theory.. because.. well, the collapse didn't happen and, obviously the earthquake didn't happen all because of the "bailout".

Yes, you're being illogical. Paper, which burned inside the WTC's burn at 451 degrees F. This is a fact. The video said 220 degrees F so either the video was wrong or no paper burned in the WTC. Which is it? You can't have it both ways. If I find one video showing one piece of burning paper, the video is wrong. Wanna bet I can find the video????
I'm not debating this.
Maybe paper was burning, maybe it wasn't, but I still have no reason to discard hard scientific evidence based off of speculation on what might have happened.
Thinking you can ignore the evidence because of what you think SHOULD have happened is delusional.

My favorite conspiracy theory relating to 9/11.
Some in the truth movement think the planes that hit the pentagon and WTC's never existed and were really....get this.... HOLOGRAMS.
[edit on 27-12-2008 by jfj123]
Actually I don't find that laughable at all.
At least, that's what I thought, and I took A LOT of chemistry in college. I also know the basic laws of physics.
link: en.wikipedia.org...
Therefore, even anybody who has a basic understanding of chemistry and physics should know that:
1. Aluminum is lighter than steel
2. There should have been at least SOME resistance when the aluminum plane hit the steel building.
I would have expected, for examples, that the extremely light aluminum wings would maybe have fallen off outside the building. (Same thing with the Pentagon crash, if it really was an airplane that hit the side of the building.) At the very least, however, I would have expected some resistance, but there seemed to be none on the videos. That does not follow the laws of physics.
Just curious, jf123...did you take any physics or chemistry classes in high school or college?
Because if you did, you wouldn't really find the hypothesis that the planes IN THE VIDEOS were holograms absurd. Because the planes in the videos did not really follow the laws of physics.
Particularly, they did not follow Newton's third law of motion which states: any time a force acts from one object to another, there is an equal force acting back on the original object. There should have been some resistance when the planes first impacted the steel buildings, but there was none (on the airplanes in the videos).
However, if lots of people on the ground did see planes hit the building, then that means that planes did inded hit the buildings, but the planes in the videos were faked. Why? Maybe because the true identity of the planes needed to be hidden by somebody.
But in any case, the planes on the videos do NOT behave as aluminum planes should when impacting a 110 story steel building. Thus, the hologram theory is not that absurd.

I've yet to see any hint of 'super science' devices being employed.
So, let's use deductive reasoning on this new "super-weapon". What can it do? What is it capable of?
It can:
1. Turn steel into dust (you can see videos of that happening on Dr. Wood's site.)
2. Burn cars, twisting and warping the metal, getting rid of all the door handles on the cars in a single area. Flipping over cars. Setting cars on fire.
3. One eye witness said she saw a plane in the sky go "poof" into a fireball....and then it was gone.
4. Shake the ground so that it felt like an earthquake (eye witness transcript)
5. Eliminate all filing cabinets, except for 1 that was shrunk, but leaving the paper.
6. Create a "dust volcano" as the towers collapsed. It looked like a volcanic eruption.
7. Collapse the towers from the top down at free-fall speed.
8. Create a hole in the center of the WTC buildings (once again, see Dr. Wood's website)

The buildings actually swayed in the direction from which the planes hit. How would a hologram do that?

I was just letting jf123 know that based on my knowledge of chemistry and physics, I didn't think the "holographic planes hypothesis" was absurd, considering the videos I saw of the aluminum planes slicing cleanly through a steel building, like a hot knife through a stick of butter. Big red flag.
I know what jf123 is trying to do, he's trying to lump me in with all the so-called crazy "no plane people" that the 9/11 truth movment is always trying to debunk.
That's how these debunkers work. Debunk, debunk, debunk, but never provide theory of their own.
They never leave themselves open to any REAL debate, because they never provide any real theories of their own. Very cowardly indeed.

First, I did not say that a hologram did that. I never said that I thought there were holographic planes. YOU were the one who mentioned holographic planes, not me.
I said that I thought that the videos were doctored (i.e. that they inserted a holographic version of the planes in the videos.)
The fact that the buildings swayed when the planes hit actually SUPPORTS my thinking that the videos were doctored, because you can't doctor an entire building swaying, now can you?? No.
See, everybody....just like I said, what these debunkers do is throw out something that was never part of your hypothesis (like the holographic planes), luring you into an argument, then twist your words making it sound like something you said was different than what you actually said, and argue it to death, trying to get you off the main topic.
That's what they are doing with the plane argument. I never mentioned planes in my hypothesis. He mentioned it in his post, trying to lure me off subject. (And like an idiot, I took the bait.)
I am not arguing the planes anymore until after I finish laying out my hypothesis of what happened, because my original argument about the planes in the video was in response to one of YOUR posts. You were trying to lure me off subject when YOU first mentioned the planes.
Congratulations...it worked. You have now just inserted a nice little argument about planes into my hypothesis that has NOTHING to do with the planes. I was not the one who first mentioned holographic planes....YOU were. I just "took the bait."
And now you probably think you can go around telling every one you de-bunked my hypothesis,
which you clearly have not. You simply inserted an old argument into a new hypothesis. You tried to debunk a hypothesis that is not even part of my hypothesis.
Well, I have news for you, your debunking tactics have just been exposed.

Yes, it is very cowardly, in the scientific world, to argue somebody else's theories to death without providing a theory or a hypothesis of your own. I stand by that statement.
You still haven't given me an entire 9/11 conspiracy theory of your own. I ask you to give me an entire conspiracy theory here. You never responded to that, you just said I support the NIST report, and that the government allowed it to happen.
All the NIST report does is say that faulty fireproofing brought down the towers. And what, exactly, did the government allow to happen? Let's go into some detail.
You won't, because then that would leave YOURSELF open to argument, and you refuse to do that. Which is a cowardly tactic.
The NIST report is not a conspiracy theory. It is a report investigating the fall of the towers, and that is all.
Saying that the government allowed it to happen, is not a complete theory. What is "it"? And why did they allow it to happen? What was their motive?
