[edit] A couple more claims

What about the "truck hitting concrete wall" analogy? And what about the claim the towers went through the building shortly before the building "exploded"?

Also, a similar claim made: The plane started to blow up before it hit the tower (basically the planes were edited in/holograms, depending on who you ask)--サトセレ (talk) 13:44, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Two more:

Something about "frail aluminum destroying steal buildings"

And: A violation of Newton's Law of Motion I don't kow what the fuck this claim is talking about, but I'll show where i heard about it with a time stamp

I think that the biggest question, however is how the fuck I got that video from a video of Freddie Mercury's last interview.--サトセレ (talk) 13:55, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

¶ I will add this to the comment (presently the second segment) that lots of people were not inside the WTC on Sept 11th for a variety of reasons: One more reason: Tuesday, Sept. 11th, 2001, was Primary Election Day in New York. A good many WTC employees who were both NY residents & US citizens might well have gone to the polls in the morning, when the wait is shorter than in the evening. (Bernard Sussman)

This is mostly a question of mass and speed (kinetic force). A 2 megagram (metric ton) truck even at 100 kph is not going to cause as much of problem as a piece of hardware flying seven times as fast and 70 megagrams. Zero (talk - contributions) 03:49, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

[edit] No-Planers

They're the nuttiest, yet they're also the most common. Why is that? Is it because they don't understand basic physics?--サトセレ (talk) 16:58, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Seeing through the Big Lie means that you're smart and in control, and that there's someone out there who can be bought to justice for what happened. They're persistent because ceasing to believe you're smarter than everyone else requires admitting that everyone else was actually smarter than you.

[edit] Cover (sticky)

Resurrecting nomination for cover. Article is still good. FU22YC47P07470 (talk/stalk) 20:53, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

You didn't have to pull a thread out of the archives to re-nominate this for a cover article.--ZooGuard (talk) 20:59, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
On the plus side for the nomination: 1. a fun read that takes you through a lot of crazy. 2. It's got some good wit. 3. Moderately well referenced. Ikanreed (talk) 21:04, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

[edit] Christopher Bollyn (Maybe Others?)

Bollyn is one of the bigger names in the Truther industry and has written several books on the subject. He's also way off in batshit conspiracy land, usually combining several of the theories together. Might it be a good idea to have a short blurb on him and his contributions to the woo? Or maybe a short blurb of the main players? --Castaigne (talk) 23:00, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

[edit] Article presents a conspiracy theory as dogmatic truth with no evidence

The article presents a popular conspiracy as true: namely that there was a conspiracy among members of a secret society called Al Queda and its enigmatic and dangerous leader Bin Laden who conspired to hijack planes and fly them into the twin towers. Does anyone else find it ironic that this conspiracy theory is presented with literally no citation to credible evidence? If you are going to present a conspiracy theory on an article where you rebut other conspiracy theories from a rationalist pov, shouldn't you at least cite some evidence in support of your own theory? Are we just supposed to accept the story of the Bin Laden/AlQueda conspiracy theory on faith? Why doesn't the article cite any proof to back its conspiracy claims?LogicMaster777 (talk) 02:26, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

[edit] That BON's video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmA59hQnoOU Thoughts? αδελφός ΓυζζγςατΡοτατο (talk/stalk) 22:29, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Um, thoughts about what? I know what thermite can do, but the capabilities of thermite do not mean that thermite was used. --Castaigne (talk) 22:51, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
