They were designed the impact of a 707 if I remember correctly which is still a very big plane.Do the maths an aircraft mass weight of 275,000lbs travelling at 300 mph nothing is going to withstand the impact.

I know, and it surprises me that people with common sense won't apply it to this situation. You don't need any qualifications to understand that for something to drop at free fall speed there has to be zero resistance. What would cause zero resistance?Freefall is the biggest anomaly of everything that's wrong to do with the attack.
But the did withstand itDo the maths an aircraft mass weight of 275,000lbs travelling at 300 mph nothing is going to withstand the impact.
Lies eh?Why would I be telling you that?
I’ve not said anything about 9/11 other than there are several things that are odd / unusual.
Like I said, it’s you and your pals who seem obsessed with peddling lies.
I've seen the counter arguments that do make sense for a lot of it, I think it may have been the steel where it is attached to the concrete core or something, they now cover in fire proof foam I think.I’ve got a few suggestions for the towers collapsing.
The aircraft fuel created a super heat inferno situation unheard of in other building fires.
The buildings had engineering flaws or substandard materials / steel.
The steel work was already compromised - but that leads us back into conspiracy theory territory again.
Cracks caused by the high speed impact.
Detonators were also used.
The weight of subsequent floors collapsing created a domino effect.
Lies eh?
So go on then why are they lies please do tell what really happened on that day that killed nearly 3,000 people.
I’am just putting the kettle on so no rush.
Can’t wait for this one.
You do realise that if there was something untoward then we wouldn't actually know the details don't you? That's why they call it a governemtal cover up. The problem with 9/11 is there is so many things that are 1 in a billion chances that it stands to reason people will be suspicious.Lies eh?

Actually UFOs is a great subject, what do you make of the legit fighter pilot footage and stories, various ones, of objects moving around outside the laws of physics...I’am accusing people of conspiracy?
You’ll be telling me there’s an alien craft next in Area 51 and loads of little green men running around.
Gained my degree while working at BAE Systems 1978-2011 gaining my aircraft licences in airframe and engines at the same time 1984-88.Have yo got an engineering degree?
I wasn’t aiming the question at you. The dick aboveGained my degree while working at BAE Systems 1978-2011 gaining my aircraft licences in airframe and engines at the same time 1984-88.
Even did my PPL through the flying school in 89 but sadly expired long ago just proved too bloody expensive and we just started a family back then.
Anything else?
That’s a fair comment.OK I’ll be generous and give you the benefit of the doubt….Let’s refer to them as factual inaccuracies.
I wasn’t aiming the question at you. The dick above
Put down the drink and drugs sonI wasn’t aiming the question at you. The dick above
That’s a fair comment.
Seriously though I’am just surprised anyone has doubts on what happened.
It was there live on TV to a world wide audience so why is it difficult not to accept it?
What do you think happened? The CIA planned it or something?
How astutePut down the drink and drugs son
Forget the whole grand thing and answer these 2 points.That’s a fair comment.

The Pentagon Mass Casualty project (codenamed Pentagon Mascal) was a contingency exercise that was held in the Office of the Secretary of Defense conference room between October 24 and October 26, 2000. The exercise required emergency response teams, members of the defense protective services, and U.S. government officials to conduct emergency simulations in preparation for a possible plane crash into the Pentagon.The FBI had advance indications of plans to hijack U.S. airliners and use them as weapons, but neither acted on them nor distributed the intelligence to local police agencies. From the moment of the September 11 attacks, all high-ranking federal officials insisted that the terrorists' method of operation surprised them. Many continue to stick to that story. Actually, elements of the suicide hijacking plan were known to the FBI as early as 1995 and, if coupled with current information, might have uncovered the plot.
That NORAD was aware of the threat of terrorists hijacking commercial airliners within the United States, and using them as guided missiles, was flatly denied by the 9/11 Commission, which asserted several times in their report that "The threat of terrorists hijacking commercial airliners within the United States – and using them as guided missiles – was not recognized by NORAD before 9/11."In the two years before the September 11 attacks, the North American Aerospace Defense Command conducted exercises simulating what the White House says was unimaginable at the time: hijacked airliners used as weapons to crash into targets and cause mass casualties. One of the imagined targets was the World Trade Center. In another exercise, jets performed a mock shootdown over the Atlantic Ocean of a jet supposedly laden with chemical poisons headed toward a target in the United States. In a third scenario, the target was the Pentagon – but that drill was not run after Defense officials said it was unrealistic.[7]
More chance of elvis appearing in my back garden than a passport surviving that from inside a plane, subsequent fireball and collapse. Its so conveniently found, probably to put a face to the attack and probably helped convince people of the direction they wanted to go... the middle east.Point 1 yes it’s possible.
I read some years back the impact of the aircraft hitting the towers was the equivalent of 1,000 tonnes of TNT going off so yes the blast could have blown anything several blocks away.
Point 2
Yes it’s unusual but not impossible let’s not forget the CIA had intercepted several coded messages and they suspected some terrorist plot of some sort was going to happen some time soon granted not that morning.
Let’s also not forget at the time of the twin towers disaster concerns were being raised at the Miami pilots training school why all of a sudden up to 8 young Muslim students had enlisted on a pilots training course paid for by themselves and not by an airline which was the norm.
Investigations had already started and the students got wind of it via a tip off hence the low fling hours they had logged by 9/11.
Sources back then say they would have been brought in for investigation just days after 9/11.
Kerosine does not burn hot enough or long enough to melt steel.
From my perspective there are a number or highly improbable events that took place in relation to 9/11.
A couple of wide bodied commercial airliners flying into buildings isn't exactly an everyday event is it though?
With any event like this there's a huge number of different things going on at the same time, pick a few of them in isolation and some of them might seem odd, it doesn't mean there's a controlling mind in play, it's just that odd things happen.
It's a bit like winning the jackpot on a slot machine, very unlikely for a single spin, but only improbable if you ignore the thousands of other spins previously.
So if the passport thing was planted/staged (for the record I don’t think it was) what were the authorities trying to prove/gain if like most on here actually admit the planes flew into the towers by the hijackers?
Why plant a passport from one of the passengers 3 blocks away?
There you go, it didn't take long to expose you did it? New username same old rhetoric. Like I predicted you've come on here just to stir up the pot and cause trouble.Is that what you were feeling once BSA were exposed as mushroom central?
COZ IT'S THE ILLUMINATI OR SOMETHING!So if the passport thing was planted/staged (for the record I don’t think it was) what were the authorities trying to prove/gain if like most on here actually admit the planes flew into the towers by the hijackers?

You've missed out a third camp : "People who will argue black is white to get a reaction". Even worse that the nutcases who have suddenly popped up on here since the 9/11 anniversary, in my opinion. They are deluded, not deliberately provocative.The problem with AVFTT is that debate is so terribly polarised and people are always desperate to pop you into one camp or the other … In this case you are either some kind of mad ‘conspiracy theorist’ or you’re a totally rational and normal person etc…
I find a few of the events on that day and surrounding the whole thing quite odd and I’m yet to hear an explanation that I can rest on.
.
Assuming you settle on the idea that the US state or some ‘body’ like the CIA or whoever, planted the passport as opposed to some other party seeking to misdirect the US State, then the simplest explanation might be that they were simply trying to expedite the process of telling the public what they already knew.
It’s pretty feasible that the US state were aware of the possibility of attack and they may have had some intelligence about the perpetrators. They may not have wanted to admit that and to have been seen to have failed to protect the public.
So finding a clue that leads to the perpetrators and discovery of additional information is just a more palatable story.
Thanks…You've missed out a third camp : "People who will argue black is white to get a reaction". Even worse that the nutcases who have suddenly popped up on here since the 9/11 anniversary, in my opinion. They are deluded, not deliberately provocative.
I like your posting as a rule but on this subject, you are being pretty distasteful. Not as bad as Metropolis mind - 20togo sums him up perfectly.
That is interesting and changes my view about the passport, I had never heard of reports of other stuff from the airplane being found blocks away in the street - that is why I thought it was odd as why would this one thing be the only thing that survived intact in isolation.That’s the level of conspiracy theory that I believe is more worthy of debate.
Even amongst 9/11 ‘Truthers’ there are several groups who who think the others are crazy.
You’ve got those who believe the attacks were genuine, the government had no involvement, but manipulated the situation after the event.
Then you get those who believe the attacks were genuine, the government knew they were coming but did nothing because they knew they could manipulate the aftermath.
Then those who believe the government actively assisted the attacks.
Then ‘the government did it themselves’.
And the extreme nutters say it never happened, or the planes were holograms!
Looking at this thread, it seems most of the doubters believe the Americans did it themselves, as people are arguing that the buildings wouldn’t come down after a plane impact.
As an aside, the argument about the passport seems blown out of proportion to me. Debris from the plane was found for blocks in all directions, and strange items survive countless air accidents. There was a guy on Part 1 of 911- a day in America (?) who was in tears as he described coming out of his building and seeing suitcases all over the floor in front of him.

You’re the only one who resorted to abuse so I’d agree with tdxThanks…
For the record I’m not seeking your approval.
‘Distasteful’ is a very odd way to describe my input though. Very odd indeed.

Suggesting that the USA deliberately colluded in a plot to kill 3,000 innocent people for a political purpose you don't even bother to try to explain is pretty distasteful. Crass might be a better word, but I thought that might be a bit strong.
I'm sure the Americans took whatever political "advantage" they could from 9/11 after the event. But that's a completely different thing. The evidence that this was planned by extremists from a long way out is overwhelming to a reasonable person. I think you know that, but sometimes you give the impression you see AVFTT as an extended audition for a job on Talk Sport. Which is a shame,. 'cos you are a hell of a lot brighter and more interesting than Jim White.
Not true?Thick as fuck
You threw in a stock phrase to cover your arse that you knew would get lost in the tons of stuff you posted doubting every word the authorities have ever said.That’s not true…
I haven’t suggested that though…In fact I’ve said I think that is highly improbable.
You threw in a stock phrase to cover your arse that you knew would get lost in the tons of stuff you posted doubting every word the authorities have ever said.
And if you do think the conspiracy idea is highly improbable, why defend it at such great length? Isn't that a complete and utter waste of everyone's time?
For what ? Stating facts?I’ll not hold my breath for the apology.
Neither will I.
Where’s your evidence to back up your accusation. Provide one example of me stating that I believe 9/11 was an inside job.
No… I’ve been very clear in everything I’ve said… You’re just creating some kind of weird conspiracy theory (odd given the circumstances) which relies on me having some kind of secret underhand agenda that is diametrically opposed to what I’ve actually said.Like I said, you covered your arse while at the same time casting doubt wherever you could. You know exactly what you are doing. I'm out.

Any of the people who are discounting any of the anomalies that have been brought up and haven't actually watched any of the documentaries that challenge the official news accounts.
You really can't argue against anything that's been quoted from the people that have watched the other side of your arguments.
Everyone has seen the official stuff mostly put out in the mainstream, but they rarely if ever do their job and investigate what they are told to broadcast and challenge it.
If you won't take time to look at both sides of the argument before you argue then you can't argue.
If you can't be arsed to watch Loose Change or you won't in case you may have to admit some of what you are arguing is wrong or not factual because it may dent your ego.
Watch the part about Building 7, @1hr 44mins as it might just intrigue you to watch the full documentary.
I am far from a conspiracy theorist but building 7 beggers belief.
English government?The American and English governments couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery, so why have they suddenly been able to do a very elaborate fit up, bombed their own people, and nothing has slipped out? Mainly because it’s nut jobs peddling bullshit
