It's funny, but it also makes perfect sense. Obviously, the youtube weirdos is the only group of people who are not the puppets of The Government / The Aliens / The Illuminati / The Great Cthulhu / Etc.

Also, idiots like this are the reason I hate conspiracy theories so much:

That guy is so awful it hurts. Listening to him attempt to argue was as painful as watching the last fertile baby be murdered in a post apocalyptic world.

^It is pretty sad. A good point made by one of the debaters there is that yeah, one should ask questions, but when asking questions one should also look for answers and when you get those answers, you don't just ignore them.

The conspiracy theorists in that video argue that in 2001, you couldn't make a call from a commercial airplane. When they are told that according to experts and observational evidence, you in fact can make phone calls from commercial airplanes even back then, one of the conspiracy theorists response is simply "that's a lie". It illustrates beautifully how these conspiracy theorists are really the ones handpicking what they want to believe in or as the other guy in that debate might say, ignore the answers when they get them.

Stupid!

To support my original arguement: it was reported that molten steel was found beneath the wreckage, days after the towers' collapse. Jet fuel doesn't melt steel.

On a similar note, supporting the opposition: to my understanding, the steel would not have had melted for the tower to have collapsed; just heated to a certain point and lose some of it's structural capability. That makes sense and explains the collapse without the use of explosives, though it does account for the aforementioned molten steel, which leads me to believe that other explosives were present in the buildings.

I remain in thinking that the US government had some involvement in 9/11 (though it may have been just a sort of " looking the other way"), but some of the conspiracy theorists claims are compelte fabrications, as are some the governement claims.


If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.
- Bertrand Russell
...And that goes both ways!

How do you know jet fuel can't melt steel?

Anyway, here's a bigger question for you: Assuming there was a government conspiracy to blow up the buildings, what would be the point of using explosives and planes? Why not just use explosives and then blame it on terrorists? In your conspiracy scenario the planes seem like a pointless complication to what would already have to be an extremely elaborate plan.

No. We inadvertently caused it by giving the masterminds CIA training in the 1980s.

Also the jet fuel argument, Sljslj is completely overlooking the fact that there were a sh*t-ton of perfectly flammable objects inside the Twin Towers, so really the whole jet fuel thing is irrelevant, it just caused the blaze, it wasn't solely the blaze.

Objects that are more flammable than jet fuel? I understand that there were flammable things in there, but nothing should have been there that would've caused molten steel to remain days afterward. There are things that our government isn't telling us; whether they're the ones responsible or not (and I'll willingly adnit they weren't given sufficient evidence), they're lieing to us more than most people want to admit.

Molten steel was at the bottom due to long-term exposure to the fires burning within the rubble pile.

Steel also weakens about 50% at 648 degrees Celsius and jet fuel burns at 825 degrees Celsius.

These are explanations that make sense. I do not believe our government is competent enough to pull an inside job like this and keep it a secret.
