Time and time again I see the same BS from the Truther movement and time and time again, when they're presented irrefutable facts they stop posting on threads and disappear.
So, enough of that.
I'm calling you out.
Here's some BS you can no longer claim to be true:
1. No other building ever collapsed from fire - A BS argument:
- No other buildings have been built like the Twin Towers
- No other sky scrapers have been hit full speed by planes that size
- The only two buildings built like the towers, hit by planes, both behave EXACTLY the same way
2 .The building looked like demos/ There's no other explanation a rational, intelligent person can reach - NOT TRUE:
- No one saw or heard hundreds of timed explosions
- The French use a demo technique, that doesn't use explosives, but does use the weight of upper floors to crush the lower floors. And guess what, a building destroyed this way looks EXACTLY like the Twin Towers.
3. Top down demolition with no visible or audible explosions , in which the timing of the collapse gradually increases to the speed of free fall is a rational explanation. - NOT TRUE.
Top down demo has never been used for skyscrapers, for pretty obvious reason.
The idea that these invisible and inaudible explosions were timed in such a way to gradually increase in speed as they moved down the building is absurd and has never been used in any demo EVER.
4. Building 7 only had a few fires - NOT TRUE
5. No one saw a plane at the Pentagon - NOT TRUE
6. 1/10th or 1% of active engineers in America is a meaningful amount. - NOT TRUE
- In most polls you see, the margin of error is between 1-3%, the Truthers can't even get a 10th of that number of ACTIVE AMERICAN ENGINEERS on their side. If you include retired Engineers (a significant number of their signees are retired) the number drops to something like 1/100 of 1%, add Architects and it's like 1/1000%. Make that a worldwide number (they do btw) and it's like 1/10000 of 1%. So, 1 in 100,000 of all Architects and Engineers worldwide have signed this thing. Not so impressive. In fact, I'd rather trust the 99,999/1000,000 who haven't.
7. A reputable journal of science tested something and found nano-thermite - NOT TRUE
8. Richard Gage is an honest guy - NOT TRUE
- Richard Gage has been busted falsifying evidence. And he's repeatedly lied and exaggerated to convert people to his belief. He's not some super honest guy.
9. The Pentagon had a missile defense system - NOT TRUE
-----------------
Enough with the BS folks. You need to self-police and stop your rank from posting the same lies again and again if you ever want to be excepted by the mainstream. And if you ACTUALLY want to accomplish something, you'll need to be accepted by the mainstream.

Some fell holding hands. Others appeared to have made makeshift parachutes from clothing knotted together.

I just read all the posts to this thread, and I have to say, I'm kinda disappointed. Imo, you guys are going for each others throat over thinking for yourselves. If you are an ats member, you think outside the box, bottom line. Wheather 911 was an actual attack or an inside job, there will NEVER be a real 100% answer. I was a truther for years, still have a piece of me that is. But, I won't fight with people over opinions and such anymore. I am proud of the fact that there are so many people who still have the ability to think for themselves. We are an endangered species guys. Let's not self destruct here!!

Some people just refuse to acknowledge the undeniable. Your'e like the guy in Monty Python's Holy Grail...the one with all of his limbs gone and he still things he has a leg to stand on. Wow. Never mind. I'm dumber for having conversed with you.

Why haven't they slayed them with science and with their assuredly superior understanding of architecture and engineering? I have hunted for them online with little success.
What say you to that OP? Maybe your Googling technique is better than mine.edit on 12-9-2011 by Elbereth because: tyop
The Pentagon DOES have a Missile defense system. We have all kinds of crazy things, sometimes called SAM Sites, that are poised in key locations to be able to shoot down things like ICBM's.
