I didn't think so, either, but I saw that somebody got slapped for it not long ago.

I worked in One WTC for 20 years and was at work that day. Yes, "This might be the moment of my death" is indeed a terrifying thought, but "Then I'm going to die running" was a close follow-up thought, and I did.

Almost 3,000 died, but approximately 15,000 of us got out before the buildings went down. The closed 9/11 Support Group FB page is very busy right now as the anniversary approaches.

Or, more likely, try to explain engineering principles to you in laymen's terms. They tend to do that.



using only very simple, one and two syllable words, preferably.....

Well if you and I are buildings, you're certainly renting out the top floor.

Yep mine is rented. Some owners dont rent it out, but keep it unused.

1) First of all the OP s assumption doesnt make sense at all. 580 mph is probably the maximum speed. Even for a 777 and that too at 35000 feet. No way one could reach 580 between boston and new york.

2) I am merely thinking about hydraulic pressing principles and about how the building collpsed.

3) Thirdly but most importantly, in many hollywood movies they are shown chasing and shooting apaches with AK;s. So again, its about the top floor .

I'm all for conspiracy because I think there are more of them than people realize.

But,

9/11 is not one of them.


The most conspiratorial thing that can be said, is Its ("possible") some in the government were aware something or more specifically planes into buildings was going to happen and then they let it happen. I haven't made up my mind on that but don't think it's likely.


9/11 really did happen pretty much exactly as it has been reported to have happened. Period.

I am not saying its detonated, but a plane crashing would leave a hole or explode. Probably if you cut a hole through the middle perfectly, then it can collapse uniformly. This is common sciense.
The planes pretty much disintegrated when they went into the buildings...Hell, I am not going to waste my time and energy trying to refute inane comments by people with no common sense. You want to believe it was a a giant conspiracy, knock yourself out. You will look like a fool, but, it's your reputation that suffers.

I know people who were sitting on the north side (in One) and saw AA11 heading toward them and lived to tell the tale. I saw burning plane parts everywhere when I came out. Fabric from the cushions, other things my mind doesn't want to recall and you don't want to know about.

To the people who for whatever bizarre reason want others to believe there were no real planes or that the towers were hollow, you've got a problem in that there are an awful lot of us walking around who know for a fact you are lying.
You know the Bayonne "dust woman" (made famous by the photo) did pass away of cancer?

Yeah, the conspiracy individuals pick up a soda can and basically stay that the aluminum plane was supposed to [/i]bounce off[/i] the steel building, no other explanation is good enough for a conspiracy theorist

They mention engines of the plane lol.....

Yes. I saw that in the paper when she died.
