I never said there were no planes regarding the twin towers.
I have no doubt that some of the people who were supposedly on those planes were intending to go to LA.
You know, I had never seen this video before, but the moment I watched it I knew there was something “off” about it.
Why would they need to?
I could be 100% right by chance. I don’t believe I am, but I could be.
Most “experts” have no idea what they are talking about.
Reason should tell you that no one is to be trusted on these matters except YOU and your application of logic. The moment you feel as if you need to rely on someone else to deduce truth for you, you are !@#$ed.
That’s a horrible way of going about things. If I’ve ever wanted to learn something, I’ve always taught myself. It’s the only way to do things.
I choose option C. Since option C exists and is reasonable, what you are saying is a false dichotomy.
I’m not advocating my position, I’m questioning yours.
what cameras?
it has everything to do with intent, the intent is so overwhelming that you're missing the slight of hand
Well I’m saying that eye witness testimony is garbage unless the people are untainted and are all saying the same thing.
I never said that there weren’t any planes. It’s not as simple as that.
I wouldn’t know, I’m not them, but if I had to guess? Shell shocked? Doubting themselves? Scared of ridicule? Scared of being silenced?
there is no un-doctored, untainted evidence that two 757s crashed into the twin towers. Absolutely none.
Those are all loaded questions Simply because someone is not telling the truth does not mean they are lying.
You made a claim that lots of people saw the plane impact the towers; I said that EVERYONE I had spoken said that they didn’t.
Allegedly.
f the plane came over their heads at 500 mph, it would have impacted the building before they had time to turn around. He does not claim that he saw the plane impact the building. He says “it just impacted the building” (past tense) “it had just impacted the building” is what he probably meant to say, which means he probably did not see the impact.
That was not the first thing on everyone’s mind, most people though the first plane was an explosion until the news media told them otherwise; already you can see the testimony has been tainted chronologically.
don’t refer to the firemen like that, you’re appealing to emotion now . . . like I said, eyewitnesses in a situation like this are near useless.

So you believe then they were at the airport?
You don't really hear the explosion. That "hiss" noise is not the explosion.
There is a delay in the sound of the plane which is normal.
The video is not tampered with at all.
perhaps, but not because it was a live TV broadcast, 1/10 of a second differential is the most you’ll ever get 99% of the time because of the cameras.
That the audio wouldn't match has very rational explanations. Audio and Video sync being off on my own camera has happened.
No it’s not a claim; it’s a 100% truth that the audio is off. Are there other versions of this clip with sound to compare this one too?
What you have here is a claim that the "audio" is off. Depends how the video was fed into the computer ect.
This is a bizaare question! One random person who stores his video is the one person who takes down the entire operation!
pretty sure Criss Angel wouldn’t care at all if someone filmed his film crew, they have nothing to do with his tricks. (As far as I know!)
The same reason Chriss Angel wouldn't like someone filming his film crew. The illusion could be exposed!
Right about what?
I disagree; my own experiences have shown me that you’re better off diagnosing your own illnesses, representing yourself in court, fixing your own car, making your own food, etc.
Yet, it is logical to consult experts. Its not appealing to authority to consult with people who are familar with the material in question.
You can still consult with those things after consulting with experts.
Using your logic--- autopsies should be thrown out the window because those experts don't know what they are talking about and we should just believe whatever we want?
History has to rely on opinions of others as does our court system. So I suppose you would want to see murder trials without DNA experts and the like.
nice straw man.
In your world then OJ had no DNA matched evidence.
if you choose to see it that way that’s fine. But there are many options.
Your original quote was there was not "just real planes". Your own words don't leave to many options.
Again, that is a VALID slippery slop. MEANING I am correct and it is possible that 9-11 did not happen at all. This is not what I’m advocating, but if you digress enough you will eventually reach this TRUTH.
But your own questions show that your own sketpical thinking could deny 9/11 as a real event!
There is no good reason to suppose such an event there wouldn't be cameras! Huge events attract eyewitnesses and cameras.
Right, but a single camera blows this out of the water.
I think you’re a little naïve if you really believe that China or Russia is against the U.S.
A single diplomat from either the Russian side or Chinese blows this right out of the water.
most of them are incompetent, no matter what they do with their time; they’ll likely fail at it.
Do you think all these people have nothing better to do?
"Tainted?" What is your yardstick for such?
So all the plane parts were planted right in the middle of New York without anyone noticing?
the damage is not consistent at all; an aluminum plane would not penetrate a concrete reinforced steel frame building in the manner in which it did. It simply would not happen.
So the damage that is consistent with a plane going into the WTC is just what then?
Which anyone can use on your own testimony. But the problem here is your not well corroborated.
That isn't reality.
They would be in a court of law! But I forgot, you don't believe in lawyers or experts.
Nope; the problem is, I know that people are dumb. You give them too much credit.
Maybe that is the problem. You actually don't know what good testimony is.
And weren't you at school that day?
Did all your friends miss school as well?
what people?
Where are all of these people nowadays?
Posting on the net wthout protesting this in the open?
I see a lot of NEw Yorkers protesting the IRAQ WAR/9/11 TRUTH,
Its damned funny I don't see them rallying around your claim's.
Guess what? Occam's Razor says your testimony is what is problematic.
Not the testimony of the firefighers or the rest of the New Yorkers who see no need to hit the streets and proclaim there were NO PLANES!
What are you talking about? The United States admitted to bombing the Chinese Embassy in Serbia, and the Chinese were angry about it.
not at less than 1,500 feet. Not with tons of high rise buildings obscuring your view, not without pre-knowledge of the event. You won’ see a plane under those conditions nearly every time without an impractical amount of luck.
It just says the plane past overhead. I don't know about you, but I have been to a lot of air shows and I can catch planes moving faster then 500 mph with a turn of my head.
People are not that gullible, that is a whole new level.
until you’ve seen an anti-gravitational vehicle for yourself, you’d be a fool to say they exist.
I take it you also deny UFO's and discount all the eyewitness testimony there as well?
it is all tainted
People can just say..."its all tainted!"
I have a friend who used to work in the WTC who saw the plane that day. Luckily for him he was on the ground near the building, but had a very good view of it. I don't use that as evidence, because it can't convince anyone.
And he’s probably full of $#!^. It is nearly psychically impossible for anyone directly under the towers to have seen the first plane hit. Your friend is either superman, was staring up at the impact zone the whole time, or is lying.
don’t refer to the firemen like that, you’re appealing to emotion now . . . like I said, eyewitnesses in a situation like this are near useless.
Perhaps.
You’re probably right, it’s not the explosion; it’s probably a sound file placed into the clip.
You can bring video cameras to magic shows; they won’t do you any good. Regardless of whether it is live or on tape, your eyes are still deceived.
I disagree; my own experiences have shown me that you’re better off diagnosing your own illnesses, representing yourself in court, fixing your own car, making your own food, etc.
Again, that is a VALID slippery slop. MEANING I am correct and it is possible that 9-11 did not happen at all. This is not what I’m advocating, but if you digress enough you will eventually reach this TRUTH.
When you believe you are possibly about to die, recording stuff on a video camera is the last thing on your mind.
It really doesn’t. Most cameras don’t have the shutter speed capabilities to properly capture something moving at 500 mph that close. Nor do most people have the proper hand eye coordination and reflexes to capture such an event.
I think you’re a little naïve if you really believe that China or Russia is against the U.S.
most of them are incompetent, no matter what they do with their time; they’ll likely fail at it.
What plane parts?

I want to point out, what is pure bias.
Again, where did I say "directly under the towers"
because it doesn’t matter what he claims he saw? I wasn’t trying to disprove his claims; his claims are useless before they even start.
and how is that you didn't ask for clarification?
How is "on the ground near the towers"
the same as "directly under the towers"
You jumped on it being most likely the lies of someone, without throwing caution to the wind.
It seems You are tainted by your own bias here.
what ideas?
Perhaps, you should be more skeptical of your ideas and thoughts then of other people.
Call it what you like. It doesn't change the fact, that the very men who risked their lives reported seeing a plane. Those are the facts.
some of them, yes.
(regarding the passengers of the flights being at the airport)
So you believe it is only possible that the passengers were at the airports?
I also recall you mentioning how the sound of the Jet continued after the impact.
Here is a video of an actual Jet Crash into the Lake and the sound of the Jet carries after the impact, more then 2 seconds:
What also is interesting is that the spash occurs without delay.
Now what also is interesting is you judged the distance of the Jennifer Spell's video without first finding out what kind of lense was used and the FOV.
Different lenses can make distance difficult to judge.
Having said that, I don't disagree with your assertion on the distance in the Jennifer Spell's video, just that one must make attempts at being more careful when judging such things from a camera.
Sound anamolies occur in real footage as I have just demonstrated, you can clearly hear the sound of the Jet continuing after the impact into the water.
the audience isn’t in on it . . . one or two people may be for some of the tricks, but the whole audience is not in on it.
Not true. There are a number of Chriss Angel stunts that are sloppy and an extra camera could reveal that the audience is "in on it."
Your conflating "able to do" with "presently held ability"
No-one has the time to become all things and be the experts in all fields.
That is why we logically and most astutely support our own thoughts with the thoughts of experts in the field.
This is relevant how??
An important part of science is the "Peer Review Process" which has experts in the said field analyze the work, to separate the wheat from chaff.
it’s not absurd at all, it’s completely logical.
The method your employing leads or could lead to that conclusion. Which is absurd!
Any conspiracy that becomes to large, becomes very difficult to keep secret.
of what?
Human nature is a good example of such.
denies what line of evidence? What problem?
But also, if a person denies any line of evidence then there can be this problem.
Not every person who was filming would have to think they were going to die. They could be a good distance, to not worry about such. Why would you even posit that? New York has many vantage points, some at safe distances.
I see a ton of people doing just that at AirShows. I don't see the problem. Some of the planes captured are travelling well in advance of 500 mph.
You don't know history very well.
Russia is an enemy and you would be very, very naive to think otherwise.
Just a few years after the United States attack on Serbia 9/11 happened, you would be really out of touch to think Russia would just sit back with such information, -- information that the videos all lied and tv fakery with a "sleight of hand" was used.
Yes, in theory. But realistically? In most cases? No.
Many people can be incompetent at their jobs but they could be excellent witnesses to an event.
When you say this, are you honestly telling me that you never saw the pictures of the plane parts in New York?
And what do you base this assumption on? You do realize that a B-25 bomber going much slower penetrated the Empire State Building?
Dangerous thinking. So I take it you discount UFO eyewitness testimony because it is been tampered with?
what testimony would you be referring to?
Even though some of that testimony goes pre-Gov as we know it??
Or how about a girl who is chased by a nut down the street, and swears he has a knife, she could be tainted because of violent movies?
exactly
Perhaps, she only saw a toy plane wrapped in foil?
yes they are actually; people will see what they expect to see or what they are predisposed to see.
You can play all those games all you want, but they are not reasonable.
just a larger audience
YOu have a Major City with an incredible amount of eyewitness testimony.
I’ve proven that the one video you presented has flawed audio.
You have the burden of proof and you haven't proven anything but silly conjecture that people are dumb and tainted.
like I said, I’ve proven that the one video you presented as “amateur evidence” is fallacious. The audio is inconsistent with reality.
These are things anyone can say for anything. It doesn't prove anything and it is not even rational.

Not biased at all, if he was within 1,000 feet of the building his story doesn’t add up. He doesn’t have to be directly under it; only near it, as you said he was. If 1,000 feet or closer to a building isn’t “near it” in your mind, then perhaps you should rephrase your statement.
I was trying to give you a lesson in reality. When something moving incredible fast goes over your head and you’re not ready for it, you will miss it, nearly every time. There are magic tricks that take advantage of this EXACT type of exploitation.
If you are directly under the towers, you are on the ground near the towers. It’s pretty simple.
I don’t need to be cautious because I know that I have a VERY slim chance of being wrong if he was truly on the ground near the towers as you claim he was.
Bias of what? That people are sensationalist liars by nature and I don’t bother believing their stories most of the time? Sure, if you want to call that bias that’s fine, I call it being realistic. Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear.
what ideas?
You’re still attempting to appeal to emotion, but that’s fine . . . I never doubted that firemen reported seeing a plane. I doubted that anyone saw the plane impact the first tower. Nice straw man though.
some of them, yes.
Not enough information about the video to make a proper assessment.
Like I said, not enough information is known about the video. But if I had to give a guess, I’d say the crash happens no more than 1,800 feet away from the boat. At sea level sound travels faster (they’re obviously at sea) When it is humid, sound travels faster (a man can be seen with a baseball cap on so we can assume it is not winter). All of these factors are unavailable to us regarding this video, so it’s rather useless.
I said at least 2,000 feet. I’m fairly confident that she was further away than that.
the audience isn’t in on it . . . one or two people may be for some of the tricks, but the whole audience is not in on it.
You obviously have never had to deal with incompetent “professionals” before. TRUST ME there is a lot of them. I take what they say with a grain of salt.
This is relevant how??
it’s not absurd at all, it’s completely logical.
“If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed” -Adolf Hitler
of what?
denies what line of evidence? What problem?
I think you’re over estimating just how many people have cameras able to capture such an event, a vantage point to capture such an event, or the obscene amount of luck needed to capture such an event. But like I said, I think that filming this was the last thing on most people’s minds.
.
You bring cameras capable of capturing such things to an air show. You expect to see jets at an air show. You know where the jets are coming from at an air show. Planes are flying farther away at an air show. It’s like comparing apples to oranges in my opinion . . .
I’m actually a bit of a history buff.
I didn’t say I’ve never seen these photographs that purportedly show plane parts from 757’s that crashed into the trade centers in New York. I asked you what plane parts? Which* pictures? Show me the ones you’re referring to.
Yes I am, and the damage was consistent with that of a B-25 bombers shaft and engines narrowly making it into the building in-between two main vertical steel beams. No steel was sliced or broken off. The wings of the plane also sheered off.
yes
what testimony would you be referring to?
I’ve proven that the one video you presented has flawed audio.

I disagree. I have seen enough air shows in my life to know that you can watch a fast plane fly by. Its been done many times, by many different people.
The point I was making, is before assuming he was "directly under the towers" is that you should have clarified his position.
well if it’s making noise and you see it coming, you’re ready for it. So you are agreeing with me and what I said is true. Thanks.
This is not true. There have been many times, unexpectedly, people have run from fast moving planes or drones in war time. If something is making a large sound and you happen to be facing the direction its coming in, and its moving fast, there is no reason not to see it.
If I was going to meet my friend, and I told him/her that I was near the Empire State Building, that does not mean I am right *At* the Empire State Building.
nope, you just proved my case that your wording was not ambiguous and that I made the proper assessment of where your friend was based on the information you gave me.
Again, if you were confused by the wording, or they seemed ambigious, you should've sought an explanation first,
ran with what idea? Based on the information you presented, your friend was under the towers.
but it shows that you were biased and only wanting to push this idea so you ran with what you wanted to think.
Why? Because, someone can't see a fast moving object?
That is ludicrous.
Listen, I have been at hockey games where I have had to in a moments notice and unexpectedly had to duck from very fast moving hockey pucks that are very difficult to see. The distance doesn't give you much time. It happens a lot.
Here is the problem. You have no real theory or reasonable inference that you could possibly use, to make a case for almost anything.
that’s a straw man; I never said that 9-11 didn’t happen.
If that is your view, then maybe 9/11 not happening might be a real possibility in your "realistic world." Maybe, only the Towers fell that day and no-one died because everyone has nothing better to do then just lie.
These short quick answers, when you fully know what I am talking about, surely doesn't help your cause.
you don’t know my ideas, which is why it’s ironic you think I am wrong.
If you don't know what your own "ideas" are, then how can I assist you?
I said the first plane. Read more carefully.
Now your contradicting something you said earlier. You don't really believe anyone could've seen the Plane "close" to the Towers, and yet the very firemen who were "close to the Towers" were reporting seeing the Plane and some of them saw the impact of the Plane.
So you believe there were *REAL FLIGHTS?*
Flight 11 and Flight 175?
it’s only an anomaly at roughly 1,000 feet above sea level when it’s 75 degrees Celsius.
There is enough information to say there is an anamoly that is very similar to the other video.
false analogy, you need to be able to differentiate the pieces.
You don't have to know all the rules of chess to figure out how some of the pieces might move.
I didn’t say it meant the video was faked %100, I said that the video is fallacious and does not follow the LAWS of physics which may mean the video is faked.
Video's have anamolous things, but this does nothing to suggest a video is fake.
it’s unknown what the source of the video is, how far away the plane is, and what the temperature/density of the air is. These things all make a big difference.
None of what you said, is going to make a large difference. What we are seeing, is a piece of footage that has some of the same types of things occuring in it that some find suspicious.
I see no reason at all to say Jennifer Spell's Video is suspicious.
the camera being shaky of barely catching the impact doesn’t make sound move faster than it psychically can.
Its a bad shot, a shaky camera and it barely gets the impact.
I mean, is that what you honestly think? All these actors and actresses and a bunch of CGI people put all of this together to fake this all?
They had nothing better to do?
That is just absurd!
except that the sound in the video is moving faster than sound actually can. Which means that the sound is not authentic; which means it is not an “original” video.
You know there are the little things, that are very suggestive that the video is real.
Take for example the white flash that appears for a brief second as the Plane Enters the building.
There is a close up for you.
That white flash is the same flash that occurs for a brief split second in the "OFFICIAL VIDEO"S"
um they didn’t?
Why would they insert such a thing?
not even close in my opinion.
A similar "FLASH" occurs in this older video of a plane going into a concrete building.
but both videos do not show a plane penetrating anything . . .
Now, granted the very quick split second flash occurs more inward, but I believe this has to do with the type of material the plane was penetrating. Here solid concrete, with the Towers, Steel.
yes I’m fairly certain it is real. The same can not be said for the planes.
That flash seems to real to be an effect, and it is seen in different video's where it is barely noticeable unless one really looks for it.
do you know how he does the trick?
Floating from one building to another, walking on water, of course the audience is "in on it."
by mistakes do you mean misdirection?
There are some video's where it is obvious the audience is "in on it" and mistakes are made.
While the educational system needs improving to be sure, there is something to be said for what one can do presently with regards to present day activities and what "could" or "possibly" achieve and I don't think we should be conflating those different things.
I mean, if you want to believe whatever you want to believe, then go ahead.
It shows that when one wants a theory to be taken seriously, one looks to other experts in the field and not just any "joe off the street"
I’m not arguing against peer review;
Are you now, at this point arguing against Peer Review? The very process which consults other experts seems at odd's with your worldview.
yes it is; in fact, it’s more reasonable than trying to break the laws of physics.
It isn't very reasonable to hold to a method that in the end could be used to conclude that 9/11 didn't happen.
What do you mean he failed? Russia and its allies (including the U.S.) proved that he was right. Russia and its allies told a lie so big that everyone believed it. They made the entire world belie the over 5 million Jews were gassed to death at a place called Auschwitz. In the 60’s the number was recalculated to 4 million, in the 80’s down to 3 million and recently the number is nearly below 1 million. They made up over 4 million imaginary people and blamed Germany for killing them. They even made outrageous claims that they turned Jews into soap. People believed this crap because the lie was big enough and told often enough. Hitler was right.
And he failed. AS does the idea that a tremendous amount of people are going to having nothing better to do then fake a bunch of video's for the news and amateurs. A conspiracy that large can't work.
Human Nature is a good example of "gossip"
Haven't you noticed this yet?
denies what line of evidence? What problem?
The evidence that Planes slammed into the Trade Towers.
which is completely valid reasoning, so you’re rather imprudent for continuing to bring it up.
EVerything you say to refute this, can be turned around to refute 9/11 from even happening.
yes, I and I choose to believe in science, not “eyewitness testimony”. If the whole world told you the world was flat would you believe them? No? Then why on earth would you believe that a concrete reinforced steel building can be penetrated by an aluminum alloy plane when it goes against all the laws of physics?
You have nothing to believe but what you want to believe.
straw man i never said you couldn't catch a tragedy on video.
Say's only you.
People have caught all kinds of tragedies on video.
And your idea about "luck" capturing the event is incorrect.
EVeryone's attention would be turned toward the Towers after the first strike.
Sorry it isn't. The Air shows sometimes have quick unexpected moves or accidents.
Also to refute what your saying:
There was a Plane Crash unexpected in Chicago in 1979. Someone just happened to have a camera and caught it the image of the plane in the air as it lost controlled.

Testimony that comes to us through Art.
No, it failed. I showed a video with a similar audio. If you look hard enough you will see only what you want to see.
nope, I know it's not amateur footage.
As for the other amateur footage I presented, you just asserting its fake doesn't make it so.
That’s a loaded question because it depends on the circumstances.
As for the Girl being chased. I take it the next time a girl comes crying for help,. you would doubt her story because she might be tainted by violent movies and that a lot of people can't be trusted and lie?
Of course you can watch a fast plane fly by, I never said you couldn’t. Straw man..
Why should I clarify his position? I already told you his testimony is worthless. Not to mention, as I already exclaimed . . .
If you are right under the towers, you are on the ground near the towers. Was he not on the ground near the towers? If he was not under the towers, he was not on the ground near them.
well if it’s making noise and you see it coming, you’re ready for it. So you are agreeing with me and what I said is true. Thanks.
No, but it almost always means you can see it. And if you are on the streets in the city, you have to be very, very, close to a building to be able to see it because other buildings obscure your view. You’ve pretty much just proved that I was not mistaken . . . Nice one.
nope, you just proved my case that your wording was not ambiguous and that I made the proper assessment of where your friend was based on the information you gave me.
ran with what idea? Based on the information you presented, your friend was under the towers.
An object heading strait towards you is not the same as an object flying over your head.
that’s a straw man; I never said that 9-11 didn’t happen.
I know the speed of sound at 76 degrees Fahrenheit, at 1,000 feet above sea level is 1,330 feet per second. I know that the video you showed me goes against the laws of physics. I know that you are wrong.
I said the first plane. Read more carefully.
It’s not that simple.
I didn’t say it meant the video was faked %100, I said that the video is fallacious and does not follow the LAWS of physics which may mean the video is faked.
it’s unknown what the source of the video is, how far away the plane is, and what the temperature/density of the air is. These things all make a big difference.
It 100% goes against the laws of psychics. Speed does not travel instantaneously with those conditions. There’s no debate it’s a scientific law. 100% not realistic.
except that the sound in the video is moving faster than sound actually can. Which means that the sound is not authentic; which means it is not an “original” video.
but both videos do not show a plane penetrating anything . . .
yes I’m fairly certain it is real. The same can not be said for the planes.
do you know how he does the trick?
by mistakes do you mean misdirection?
People could achieve a lot more if there wasn’t an educational system.
I don’t believe what I want to, I believe what makes sense. If an “expert” told you something that goes against common sense and scientific laws would you believe them? I think not. So why on earth would you believe that an aluminum alloy plane can penetrate aconcrete reinforced steel frame building???
Aluminium is used extensively in modern aircraft due to its high strength to weight ratio.
I’m not arguing against peer review; I’m saying it isn’t necessary in regards to what I’m talking about. Peer review is for when you are introducing a new idea.
You believe what they write in history books, that’s your first mistake.
