That definition of "pulled" has been made up after the fact, and you know it.

That's a routine airshow maneuver.
It might be my mobile app but I dont see anywhere stating the speed.

Another fact I never see get mentioned is there were hundreds of thousands of American Airlines puts the day before (meaning someone was betting on the stock plummeting) 9/11. The SEC has confirmed it was a domestic trader, but the records beyond that are sealed.

Amazing how all the evidence that could supposedly cement the government's case was all confiscated and hidden/lost/destroyed.
Silverstein sure did make a lot of money off of this "disaster". Wasn't the other lease holder, Westfield Inc" the same leaseholder of the Westfield mall in Kenya that had the shooting and collapse?

sure thing

from oxford dict…

"pull something down
1 - demolish a building."


what exactly are you trying to hide?

sorry, but there are those of us who don't just accept anything thrown at us! Silverstein said it himself! there is video evidence all over the place!

But they didn't exist in the early-1970s.

Remember, too, that a plane did crash into the Empire State building in 1945. A B-25 airplane. And the building remained standing because that plane was much smaller than a 757.

My mistake, it was the Westfield group. The Westgate mall in Kenya was built by the same Westfield group that profited, along with Silverstein from the September 11th attacks. I thought it was an interesting coincidence.

The firefighter definition of "pull it" means to evacuate, not to demolish a building.

This truther nonsense really should stop.

I know one way that usually puts a stop to it: show evidence that the passengers on Flight 77 (the plane that crashed into the Pentagon) are alive and I will believe the 9/11 conspiracy...

You might be interested to know that it's against Federal law to fly faster than 250 knots (approx. 280mph) below 18,000 feet in the U.S. See "Class A Airspace". A few exceptions are made for military training areas, air shows etc. You generally need special permission.

We now return you 9-11 truthers to your usual states of ignorance, panic, and silly hysteria.
