The official FEMA report states: "The collapse of WTC 7 had a small debris field as the facade was pulled downward, suggesting an internal failure and implosion...
Demolishing the building so that it collapses straight down into its own footprint requires such skill that only a handful of demolition companies in the world will attempt it."

I was referring to WTC 1 & 2 but thanks for playing.
Line 2 just for fun

Whatever you think about 9/11 -- it ENABLED the Patriot Act, Domestic Spying, ending of international treaties against torture, Constitutional Protections and such.
EXACTLY !!!! GREAT POINT !
These are the things we should be focusing our energies on stopping.
For example, obama promised that he would look into prosecuting war crimes during the bush regime but he's since dropped that. WE THE PEOPLE should tell him if he would like to be re-elected, he will investigate.

You keep asking me to prove it was doens by terrorists. MY proof is that the OS says it was. I need NO further proof as I am not seeking change to it.
There you have it. Lucy's "proof" is that the "OS says it was."
Instead of denying ignorance, let's not disturb anyone's OS.

And what physics model explains a pancake collapse without resistance? None.

I agree with Cynical, you can't just label everyone 'truthers' like it's some kind of dirty word.
Why does anyone visit ATS?
:
This is something I agree with. I should not of Labelled everyone a truther. Some people have been unfairly tarnished with that Brush. However, I used the truther for ease and for the purpose of covering those truthers and not miss anyone out. Truthers though have a one track mind. They refuse to listen to reason and are quite similar in terms of thinking to how obsessives think. This often develops into something far more sinister. I would imagine that this is being kept under close scrutiny even as we speak.

October 2, 2001: Patriot Act Is Introduced to Congress
The “anti-terrorism” Patriot Act is introduced in Congress. The act is technically known as The USA PATRIOT Act, which stands for “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.” [US Congress, 10/2/2001] The legislation was ready four days after the 9/11 attacks, in what Attorney General John Ashcroft called a “full-blown legislative proposal” ready to submit to Congress. The proposal is actually a revamping and enlargement of the Clinton-era antiterrorism legislation first proposed after the Oklahoma City terrorist bombing (see April 25, 1996).
October 2-4, 2001: Senators Daschle and Leahy Raise Concerns about Newly Introduced Patriot Act
The “anti-terrorism” Patriot Act is introduced in Congress on October 2, 2001 (see October 2, 2001), but it is not well received by all. [US Congress, 10/2/2001] One day later, Senate Majority Leader and future anthrax target Tom Daschle (D) says he doubts the Senate will take up this bill in the one week timetable the administration wants. As head of the Senate, Daschle has great power to block or slow passage of the bill. Attorney General John Ashcroft accuses Senate Democrats of dragging their feet. [Washington Post, 10/3/2001] On October 4, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman and future anthrax target Patrick Leahy (D) accuses the Bush administration of reneging on an agreement on the bill. Leahy is in a key position to block or slow the bill. Some warn that “lawmakers are overlooking constitutional flaws in their rush to meet the administration’s timetable.” Two days later, Ashcroft complains about “the rather slow pace…over his request for law enforcement powers… Hard feelings remain.” [Washington Post, 10/4/2001] The anthrax letters to Daschle and Leahy are sent out between October 6-9 as difficulties in passing the Patriot Act continue (see October 6-9, 2001).
October 24, 2001: House and Senate Pass Patriot Act Without Reading It
The House of Representatives passes the final version of the Patriot Act and other previously unpopular Bush administration projects: Alaska oil drilling, $25 billion in tax cuts for corporations, taps into Social Security funds, and cuts in education. [CNN, 10/25/2001] Republican Congressman Ron Paul states: “It’s my understanding the bill wasn’t printed before the vote—at least I couldn’t get it. They played all kinds of games, kept the House in session all night, and it was a very complicated bill. Maybe a handful of staffers actually read it, but the bill definitely was not available to members before the vote.” It is later found that only two copies of the bill were made available in the hours before its passage, and most House members admit they voted for the act without actually reading it first. [Insight, 11/9/2001] Two days later, the Senate will pass the final version of the Patriot Act. Anthrax targets Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy (see October 15, 2001) now support the bill. President Bush signs it into law the same day (see October 26, 2001). [Fox News, 10/26/2001]

We've got less than 50 "al Qaeda" in Afghanistan according to the CIA -- and every report gives the idea that the "threat from them is exaggerated."
Since Bush took office -- there has been a "show us yours and we'll tell you what to think about ours" mentality from on high in Washington. Obama has taken over -- but the policy is still in place. They'll let us know I suppose, if anything WRONG takes place.
Meanwhile, back in Afghanistan, Blackwater mercenaries are caught trading drugs with Taliban groups,... and a gallon of gas costs the taxpayers $450 -- why don't we just smuggle it in? It's got to be cheaper than the Opium doesn't it?
This country has a Fifth Column at work in it.
How stupid is everybody if they are OK with "let's just move on... it's too complicated... trust us?" If the government was working for our interests on 9/10 and 9/12/2001 -- then they should have nothing to worry about by showing us absolutely everything. Whatever SECRETS the Government needs to protect us -- is NOT greater in importance than in earning the Public Trust. Their secrets DID NOT STOP 9.11.

Please understand I have a deep distrust of anyone who wields huge amounts of power. That being said, if I thought the government was involved in 9/11, I would say so. I've looked at all the supposed evidence and found nothing to suggest that 9/11 was orchestrated by the US government.

When is this so called "truth" movement and conspiracy talk going to end?
Truthers seem rather sanctimonious and believe in the fact that 9/11 was an inside job.
I think it is a bit insane to draw absurd conclusions with only 20 mins of manipulated footage to support these claims. For every poorly constructed theory I have heard or seen and even read here on ATS (yes I read all the stuff on ATS about 9/11 before commenting) I have not heard one piece of ACTUAL EVIDENCE.
NO EVIDENCE. I keep hearing and seeing the same bits of footage being passed around as actual proof. This is ridiculous. There is no possible way to know what really happened by watching some silly footage of the towers collapsing. There are too many variables to consider.
Yeah, and theres also simple physics the truthers discuss which can't be refuted.
You simply wish to lump all dissenters up into one gigantic stereotypical group to easily avoid having to rebut all the issues presented.

Then all I can say is, you're either not looking very hard or you're purposefully ignoring a literal mountain of overwhelming and incontrovertible evidence. That "Patriot Act" timeline above should be enough to give you pause.
And BTW, it wasn't the entire U.S. government -- just the PNAC neocon cabal that Reagan administration 'Star Wars' director Lt. Col. Robert Bowman says they've been planning since he attended the U of Chicago with Wolfowitz, Feith and other neocons in the 60s.
