All of our lives, we have fought this war. Tonight I believe we can end it. Tonight is not an accident. There are no accidents. We have not come here by chance. I do not believe in chance. When I see three objectives, three captains, three ships. I do not see coincidence, I see providence. I see purpose.

Well, if you are just going to ignore the actual evidence you have no hope of discovering the truth. Seriously.
Building 7 fell totally into it's own footprint. It had almost no structural damage other than what could be caused by a few small fires.
The 2 towers fell as near as damn it into their footprints. Again, with very little structural damage. They were designed to take the impact of an aircraft strike. The designers agreed that only a small amount of localised damage could be caused by an aircraft impact.
I have no idea how the teacher got that book. Are you not intrigued? Doesn't it tweak your sense of curiosity?

Haha. The impression I'm getting from half the members participating in this thread, is that they don't trust the official story OR the people screaming about conspiracies.
Who, then, do you guys believe? If you don't trust the government, and you don't trust the whistleblowers, who do you trust? Because other than those two groups, no one has enough credibility to make a statement on the topic AND defend it satisfactorily.
Whose testimony, whose expertise, whose experience and background and motivations do you trust then?

And who would that be, in your opinion? Because apparently, that isn't any of the people we're referencing in this thread...from what I've gathered in your posts, at least.

Why didn't AF blow those planes out of the sky? They had a general idea where the planes were going, and the government WAS warned ahead of time. They knew something was coming.
AF, Navy, Military, and Marines should all have been on standby in case something went down. As soon as those planes went off-course, the military should have had laser sights on it. Not only is that an extremely curious oversight, it screams of negligence. Now, why would our country be negligent with thousands of Americans at stake?edit on 12-9-2012 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)

I admit there is much I don't understand about that day but three steel structures falling straight down in their footprints really baffles me.
Why?
Before that day how many times has that happened?
Well, pretty much any time anything falls on the planet Earth, it falls down in a straight line. That's the way gravity works, in fact to get something to fall in a way other than a straight line requires that there be something acting on the object other than gravity.

OK, but you think fire brought down three steel buildings in one day? How often has that happened?

No and no one is trying to tell you thats all that happened except people trying to promote conspiracies. Read the extensive reports that were compiled explaining exactly why the buildings fell.
How often has that happened?
Why? Is there some quantity requirement? How often do the other events that transpired on 9/11/2001 happen? How many times a week did planes crash into the World Trade Center towers before 9/11/2001? How many times are buildings the size of World Trade Center 7 allowed to just burn? Before you can claim something is an anomaly you have to first present the rule that it's violating.

We kicked Japan's butt using our technological prowess, we overpowered one of the most sadistic geniuses ever to disgrace Germany, and we won our independence from Great Britain, but some Iraqis steal a couple of planes and we're helpless? There is no excuse for that. None.edit on 12-9-2012 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)

Maybe we should look for an image of exactly how far the damage extended from the site of the actual crash...
Edit: here's a link showing a chronology of events as compiled using various artifacts and interviews following the events of 9/11. There's also a color-coded map detailing the fallout area.

So if it hasn't happened once before....
you think it was likely to happen three times in one day and one of the buildings was not struck by a plane?
