Has anyone heard of or seen this film before? I'm watching it at the moment and it's pretty interesting. I'm not fully knowledgeable regarding September 11th but obviously I'm as interested as the next person in knowing if there were any cover ups and why.

Just thought I'd start a discussion about the film itself and the points it raises, don't think the video and a discussion about it has been approached before smile

Alpha Centauri
You don't think this has been approached before?

Are you serious? It's possibly the most approached subject in KMC's history.

Anyway, regarding the possibility of cover-ups or self-sabotage, maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. What I do think it stupid is, as someone said the other day, conspiracy theorists who are so deluded that it actually reaches a point of "Nobody did anything, it was a lie.".

Syren
No, I meant I don't think this video has been discussed before, perhaps I'll change my first post laughing out loud

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I do find the video interesting and am impressed by the group of women who got together to search for answers. Although, a small part of me does feel as though maybe they just needed some sort of a distraction and couldn't bear to let go of those they lost erm

Alpha Centauri
That's a misleading idea; A search for answers.

I have nothing against the man, but Deano has been on a search for answers for quite some time, do you see my point?

Schecter
imho there were certainly many coverups for incompetance in immediate response. thats about it though. deano insists that it was planned, which imho is legendary horseshit.

WrathfulDwarf
I just have one question...

...what is this a film or a documentary?

Syren

Rogue Jedi
so this video is searching for answers regarding why appropriate action was not taken? i hate being in the dark.

Syren
If you're that in the dark, try quickly searching it yourself with the terms you're looking to clarify smile

Deano
have u not heard of the conspiracy forum? this has been discussed to death

im happy that you have finally decided somethings not right with the official story. 6 years to late but still

Uh-oh!

no deano. the topic of government incompetence deserves an exclusive spotlight. when it exists in the topic of "OMG BUSH ATTACKED US ON 911!!111!!" it loses its validity.

Go away laughing out loud

I just wanted to discuss the video and wondered if anyone else had seen it. I didn't want to get in a tizzy about the potential for there having been a conspiracy.

I guess you could say I was trying to avoid the conspiracy forum, actually smile

I don't blame you there. I browsed through the threads and there was no moderate discussion of any sort going on.

I haven't seen the movie but have done enough research on my own to know that the "official" story handed to us by the government is complete bullshit and is disrespectful to a handful of scientific standards and even simple logic.

Scientifically, none of the governments claims about the attacks make sense - the flukiest being how the Pentagon was hit. I thought the towers were odd but anyone who has rode a plane should know there is something odd about the "attack" on the Pentagon.

Deano, you do realise I'm not swayed either way, right? I'm not addicted to conspiracies and I'm not living in a bubble.

I just don't care about what you and people like you have to say, unless it's decently founded. I watched this film and wanted to know if anyone else had come across it and what their thoughts were.

Yea there is something odd, a plane crashing in to a government building doesn't happen every day...

chithappens
Yeah and we still have not seen it at all despite all the cameras around the Pentagon itself and in public areas like highways. No roof damage although commercial airlines are unable to dip that fast and then go straight, stuff like that.

Scientifically, nothing about the Pentagon strike is possible as they explain it.

"The scientific community is wrong because I know better," is waaaaaaaay different than, "Scientifically, nothing about the Pentagon strike is possible as they explain it."

At least quote me correctly. Obviously, I'm saying the story got skewed.

Firstly, father's a mechanical engineer with a background in aerodynamics and it was my initial chose as a major once I started college so I'm not just talking out my ass. In this case, a lot of things do not need scientific explanation, just simple common sense to understand.

When I saw the towers fall live on TV, I remember being real upset because I was thinking half of the surrounding blocks would be destroyed. They fell straight down and before investigating anything scientifically, I knew something was off.

Second, the scientific experts across the nation flip flopped a few times about "how" the towers fell in the months afterwards.

Third, I'm not calling it an inside job. I'm calling the government out is all. If you find a paper passport of one of the terrorist before you find the black box from the plane among the wreckage of the towers, you will easily have me skeptical of everything coming from you afterwards.

Fourth, I read the 9/11 commission crap, the report of how the towers fell from chosen scientists the government chose to do the report (can't remember the name of it; I would paraphrase it but no one would believe me since they think I'm a kook now) which includes explaining that petroleum fire can bend steel without being in a controlled environment (even then, no).

I did not just say that out of nowhere. I'm just saying something has been off from the beginning. Everything is not a conspiracy just because we all do not agree. At this point, it is well known that the government lied. I think the rabbit hole is a little deeper.

The actual tests and official scientific report were published AFTER the 9-11 commission report. Should they have forgone conclusions? Yes...but you can't critique them for not including something that hadn't been completed yet.

I would agree with you except scienitific experts don't even say anything about that before checking it out themselves and being certain themselves (it could be wrong but they will report it if they think they are right; this would many a nice amount of scientists made the wrong calculations and deductions). Scientist disagree about stuff all the time.

But if what you said was the case, everyone would be apologizing all the time for mistakes. No one reports stuff without certainty (individually).

And to be clear as to why this is a little more fishy, no one was able to do tests on the parts of the frame that "melted down." The government took all the valuable fragments away that would have showed how exactly the frames of the towers started to bend in ways that have never happened ever in history.

I see what you mean but no "expert" is going to just put his name out there, CERTAINLY not a tragedy like 9/11. It would ruin a career to have a story opposite of the "official" story.

dude, wtf are you talking about?

If any scientist could find factual evidence that supported the 9-11 conspiracy theory, they would be instantly famous and rich. They would most likely win the Nobel Peace Prize, hundreds of other awards, and would have the notoriety of being the only one smart enough to see through the government facade.

Also, popular mechanics, among others, have done independent research into the major claims of the conspiracy theorists and have found them to hold no scientific grounds. All the evidence is suppositional or deductive at best, and for the most part, it focuses on irrelevant facts to try and mislead people to focus on the trees to miss the forest. The greatest example of this is the idea that "fire can't melt steel". Without getting too in depth, the factuality of that statement is irrelevant. Nobody would claim that fire alone brought down the towers, and it is intellectually dishonest to make this straw man.

And seriously, this isn't quantum physics. What happened on 9-11 is not on any scale as complex as the idea of punctuated equilibrium or universal inflation. At the VERY least, to believe that this was a US inside job is to pretty much dismiss the entire field of Middle Eastern Studies.

How many scientists do you know?

The same reason Colin Powell could not say nothing even though he was spewing lies to the UN. He knew that was all bull he was setting up for the Iraq war.

How is that remotely the same thing? Powell worked for an ideologically motivated government, scientists are allowed to research whatever they want. Sure they have to get funding, but for tenured or long time profs and scientists, they can get it for generally whatever they want.

Science is, for the most part, independent. Where this line gets blurred is when the science is presented to the public through media sources. The media itself is a terrible place to get any information.

I agree with you on that. Of course the government lied. However, the scientific and other inquisitively minded individuals also tested the claims of the government. This is why it was revealed that the Bush administration missed years worth of evidence leading up to this attack.

You a making a very common mistake that people with in-group ideologies like this tend to make. You believe that everyone that disagrees with you holds the same viewpoint.

The scientific community and other rational people believe that the government is lying and that conspiracy theories are bogus. Both for the same reasons, that is what the evidence shows.

You are saying that the scientists you know would not break the story if they had irrefutable evidence to prove it?

You think there are engineers, fire and demolition experts out there that can absolutely prove that there are lies in the government story and just sit on them because they are afraid that it will ruin their career?

Really, think, when has exposing a government cover-up ever ruined someone's career?

Wrong again. People love to say things before conclusions are made...sometimes we forget we are scientists. Scientists may not have even been the ones to propose the failed "pancake collapse" theory.

Perhaps you should re-vist the modern media...people say stupid shit all the time...aliens, etc. People may be doing it honestly...but they THINK they saw something and thier mind creates a story around it.

No tower in history was strcutured like the trade center. Unique design caused unique collapse. The truss theory is viable. The scientific community has upheld it.

There are many misleading things about documentaries.

The biggest thing to remember is that, as a film, it is subject to the freedom of speech. There is no review board aside from the production company, which in this case has a history of publishing highly biased films with regard to government conspiracy.

There is a fantastic film by this French documentary maker called "Dark Side of the Moon". It puts forward a VERY persuasive argument for how the moon landing was a hoax and implicated Stanley Kubrick in the plot.

The director of the film has no opinion on the moon landing. Everything in the film is a complete lie, however it is made to show how persuasive a documentary can be, even when the data is 100% false.

However, there are peer reviewed scientific journals that have looked at the 9-11 conspiracy claims. The best I have seen is from Popular Mechanics, found here:http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/military_law/1227842.html.

My take home message would be "know who the source of your truth is".

Please.I wish people would stop using that propaganda government piece popular mechanics as a source to prove the official version correct.For one thing,the forward is written by John Mccain who is a corrupted politician in the first place.Second,there is a new book out that proves that piece by popular mechanics is a bunch of lies.Its called Debunking the 9-11 Debunking and it debunks all the lies mentioned in popular mechanics.Its written by David Ray Griffin.He has written a couple other books on the subject as well called The New Pearl harbour-disturbing questions about the Bush administration and 9-11 and another one called-The 9-11 Commission Report.Omissions and Distortions.If you want to learn the truth about 9-11,then start reading those books and stop listening to the propaganda by the government like that popular mechanics source.Geez.

Oh please,give me a break.The scientists that HAVE spoken out that it was an inside job by the government have been told to shup up or have lost jobs.Not only that,firemen and policemen have had their lives threatened for not going along with the official version.and again people STOP USING POPULAR MECHANICS AS A SOURCE.The forward in that popular mechanics article was written by John Mccain who is an extremely corrupted politician.He was pressured by the veitnam veterans after the war to try and bring vietnam vets back home and he basically gave them the middle finger and ignored them.That should tell you something about the credibility of popular mechanics and like he said,they basically selected these so called independent investigaters who actually were not independent-they're companies were all connected with government contracts.it was an inside job as any person with logic or common sense knows.countless numbers of demolition experts were bothered by the freefall collapse of the towers.They have said that should never have happened unless it was due to explosives.wake up and smell the folgers.
