The thing that has puzzled me all these years is the plane which damaged the Pentagon Building. In such a heavily defended building, covered in cameras filming inside and out - where is some footage showing the approaching plane?

But wait--they do things like that on TV and in the movies all the time, so it MUST be possible!
No I was thinking more along the lines of security people not doing their jobs. Trust me, more believable than a segment on a TV screen.

PS: Put on a uniform and a badge, and one looks like they belong. Whose going to question? The buildings along with any security footage are gone. Traces of theromite isn't.

I never understood this insistence that the buildings had to be primed with explosives. Is the idea that people wouldn't be p.ssed off enough, or what? The buildings would have been unsalvageable no matter what, and the deaths would have been in the thousands.

There is archived news footage from all of the stations. I wish I could just link you up, but I am on a different hard drive and o/s at the moment. However, if I can find it, through searches, I'm sure any one can.

Thermite is rust and aluminum. It converts to iron and aluminum oxide and heat. A building that's made of steel, then hit by a few hundred tons of aluminum, then to catch fire and collapse will have plenty of "thermite traces".

We don't want the terrorists to know about our videotaping capabilities.

That technology is classified.

Because they fell straight down and the technology to achieve that is one of our design.

In the late 1980's in our town, we had a motel (historical one to the locals) to undergo demolition. There was a big news write up and tv local and the key thing about it was....it was to fall straight down so as no damage would be done to any buildings around it in the downtown area.

When I saw the first tower fall, I later thought of the hotel from the 80's.

If they can learn to fly our planes, what else can they learn to do?

I do believe there is a cover up, just not in the area the theorists are selling.

They were not on fire long enough for it to be just plane fuel that brought the tones of steel down.
