Do you know for sure when that photograph was taken? How many bounces would it take to knock out that wheel? I mean, c'mon.
It's plausible so cant be ruled out that what amuses me about you guys you think the strangest things can happen no planes beam weapons floors taken out but you rule that this may have hit the ground rolled or slid as not possible.
the structure on the outside was not the main support for the towers and the design of the building had this in mind, that is why the building needed help collapsing into its own footprint.

Pathetic, Gen. I expected so much more. Aren't you supposed to be some big, bad editor or some #?
When do I get some of my questions answered anyway, or do you want to bring up straw and concrete blocks again?

That doesn't agree with the design plans. All the floors were supported by trusses. The trusses attached to the inner core and the exterior steel. Someone called it a tube in tube design. The exterior carried about 40% of the total load.

srry. yankee I don't respond to insults. facts are facts.
1. Destroy evidence of institutional lawlessness in government, finance, military and business.
2. Silence investigations into the above.
3. Demolish the white elephants known as the Twin Towers.
4. Provide pretext for world war and hegemony in the guise of the Global War on Terrorism.
5. Allow the continuation of a culture of plunder and corruption

Greetings and en garde...
I think the question should be whether AQ ever stopped working for the CIA to begin with.edit on 11-8-2011 by Yankee451 because: (no reason given)
Ah......begging the question - wonderful - this is the fastest I've ever seen a CT resort to a well known logical fallacy.
Let's not actually establish that AQ works for the CIA - let's jsut say that it is true.
I now fully expect a wave of illogical "connect the dots" drivel including repitition of the speculation/myth about OBL being paid by the USA via the CIA .........blah, blah, blah....
do you have any actually verifiable evidence, or are we gonna have to sit through more diatribes of people telling me stuff that they "know", and is "obvsious"....but they somehow can't actually provide any credible info to prove??
I'm betting it's the later.....still
Are you saying the CIA didn't train and finance the Mujahideen,
and that al Qaeda isn't a CIA fabrication whose role is to foment trouble so the USA can come in and "save the day?"
The mujahideen were significantly financed, armed and trained by the United States [Central Intelligence Agency] (CIA) during the administrations of Jimmy Carter[39] and Ronald Reagan
en.wikipedia.org...
Here's a pretty good article about it from the father of John Walker Lindh
At that time, the Taliban governed most of Afghanistan, and were engaged in a long-running civil war against a Russian-backed insurgency known euphemistically as the Northern Alliance. John was quickly accepted as a volunteer soldier, and received two months of infantry training in a Taliban military camp before being dispatched to the front lines.
These young soldiers performed heroically in the defeat of the Soviet Union. Their cause was openly supported by the American government itself, particularly during the administration of President Ronald Reagan, who took office two weeks before John's birth in early 1981.
The training camp in Afghanistan where the Ansar received their infantry training was funded by Osama bin Laden, who also visited the camp on a regular basis. He was regarded by the volunteer soldiers as a hero in the struggle against the Soviet Union. These soldiers did not suspect Bin Laden's involvement in planning the 9/11 attacks, which were carried out in secret. John himself sat through speeches by Bin Laden in the camp on two occasions, and actually met Bin Laden on the second such occasion. John has said he found him unimpressive.

BBC documentary Al CIADUH doesn't exist

Your GoogleFu skills are slipping Gaul guy, that's just scratching the surface
There is no such thing as "al Qaeda", there is no one on earth who calls himself a member of "al Qaeda". "al Qaeda" is a term made up by the U.S. government to be applied to anyone killed during in the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan.
The name "al Qaeda" was established a long time ago by mere chance. The late Abu Ebeida El-Banashiri established the training camps for our mujahedeen against Russia's terrorism. We used to call the training camp al Qaeda [meaning "the base" in English]. And the name stayed.
BIN LADEN’S BEGINNINGS
As anyone who has bothered to read this far certainly knows by now, bin Laden is the heir to Saudi construction fortune who, at least since the early 1990s, has used that money to finance countless attacks on U.S. interests and those of its Arab allies around the world.
As his unclassified CIA biography states, bin Laden left Saudi Arabia to fight the Soviet army in Afghanistan after Moscow’s invasion in 1979. By 1984, he was running a front organization known as Maktab al-Khidamar - the MAK - which funneled money, arms and fighters from the outside world into the Afghan war.
What the CIA bio conveniently fails to specify (in its unclassified form, at least) is that the MAK was nurtured by Pakistan’s state security services, the Inter-Services Intelligence agency, or ISI, the CIA’s primary conduit for conducting the covert war against Moscow’s occupation.

You claim that they staged the shot. Ok, prove it. Show some evidence. Other than that, you are just talking out the backside. Nothing to back it up = BS. Personal incredulity is not evidence.
They have been answered. Apparently you fail to understand how some objects dont have an issue penetrating another object, when layman logic believes that it shouldnt happen, (Ie wood through concrete, wood through stel, aluminum wing through a steel column). Too bad you dont understand what an example is.

No-one says the aircraft pulverised the building tho - so your request to show how it happened is another case of begging the question - inventing a question about something that did not happen in the first place, and then claiming "victory" when no-one can answer .....
It's a typical attempt to sidetrack from verifiable evidence from the believers of hte 9/11 hoax - you cannot actually discuss anything factual, because all eth factual info says you are wrong, so you have to go to inference, assertions, and even fantasy.
It's a bit sad that people can still think like you
BBC’s killer documentary called “The Power of Nightmares“. Top CIA officials openly admit, Al-qaeda is a total and complete fabrication, never having existed at any time. The Bush administration needed a reason that complied with the Laws so they could go after “the bad guy of their choice” namely laws that had been set in place to protect us from mobs and “criminal organizations” such as the Mafia. They paid Jamal al Fadl, hundreds of thousands of dollars to back the U.S. Government’s story of Al-qaeda, a “group” or criminal organization they could “legally” go after. This video documentary is off the hook…
He begins with vital heavily documented background information about 9/11 already covered above. It explained we needed cover for our "war on terrorism." Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda provided it as "Enemy Number One" and his network, hiding the fact he and thousands of Mujahideen fighters were recruited for the largest ever CIA operation in the 1980s. They were organized, financed and sent to "destabili(ze) the pro-Soviet government in Afghanistan, but (more importantly) destroy...the Soviet Union." CIA's Milton Beardman once explained "If Osama bin Laden did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him."
In fact, we did, using Pakistan's Military Intelligence ISI as intermediary, so bin Laden and Mujahideen fighters weren't aware who their real paymaster was or why they were recruited. ISI played a crucial role for Washington in the 1980s. Then, from the end of the Cold War to the present, it's been "the launch pad for CIA covert operations in the Caucasus, Central Asia and the Balkans" turning Bosnia into a "militant Islamic base" and later Kosovo with help from NATO and Washington. This isn't speculation. It's fact. The ISI-Osama-al Qaeda-Taliban nexus is a matter of public record, but the "American people have been consciously and deliberately deceived (about it) by their government."
996-1999: The CIA officer in charge of operations against Al Qaeda from Washington writes, "I speak with firsthand experience (and for several score of CIA officers) when I state categorically that during this time senior White House officials repeatedly refused to act on sound intelligence that provided multiple chances to eliminate Osama bin Laden."
On at least three occasions, spies in Afghanistan report bin Laden's location. Each time, the president approves an attack. Each time, the CIA Director says the information is not reliable enough and the attack cannot go forward.
