[8)] Y'all know the saying about OPINIONS, but in this case I think it's a worthy pursuit. If you have time, and interest in the subject: "What was 9-11 really about ?!?" then you should watch this vid. Opinions? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv7E7Q3fsLo

[;)] I'll start. I remember watching the footage of 9-11 on tv, as events unfolded. I was alone; nobody else was there to influence my viewing experience. Didn't know at first that it was alleged to be a Muslim Terrorist Attack. What I saw was a very neat and clean building collapse, as though it'd been done by a professional demolition crew. "That shows great knowledge of that building, and great technical skills, for a plane to crash it in EXACTLY the right place!" [:0]

I am suspicious of the government but I don't believe it was any conspiracy beyond the real one. A small group of dedicated fanatics got lucky. It happens. [url]http://mobile.news.com.au/world/six-really-stupid-911-conspiracies-debunked-in-about-six-seconds/story-fndir2ev-1226717737311[/url]

I am highly suspicious of most conspiracies of a grand scale because the government (or name your shadowy group) is often incompetent and mistake prone. Also it presumes that a huge number of people will keep their mouth shut and not go to the press. If there is a legitimate story a legitimate news source will pick it up at some point. Just pointing out that a few weird things happened does not prove a conspiracy. To paraphrase a grad school professor of mine, the problem with conspiracy theories is that any information that disproves them will be dismissed as part of the conspiracy.

Apparently, general knowledge regarding the personnel accused of the 9-11 attacks: They simply were NOT that sophisticated. How could a novice pilot know, at an almost superhuman level, exactly where and how to kamikaze a commercial airliner into a building, causing it to collapse in the way it did? Idk. [?]

How do you know that the collapses were planned? I think you are giving the hijackers too much credit.

If it was really a US Gov plot, I guess it would require at least one key witness to come forward. Some of the reportedly dead 9-11 conspirators are said to be "alive and well". If one of them, or a Gov employee, or a news reporter were to 'fess up... There was once a cover-up, perpetuated by criminals, and aided and abetted by the general public in NYC. Then an individual named Sammy Gravano entered the spotlight and began to talk.
