No but I will find out. I suspect that its more than likely going to be people with a bit more engineering knowledge than you or I have.

It was a guy called Ben Chertoff. He may have more engineering knowledge than you are I, but he also happens to be the nephew of Micheal Chertoff. The secratery of US Department of Homeland Security.

Not too sure about impartial.

I still the balance of probability lies with the simplest explanation which happens to be the "official" version.

Possibly not more likely.

But like I have said, put togethor all the holes in the official story and couple that with the gains that the US have made since 9/11........... hmmmm.

Again you get selective over something. If you look at the end credits you will see he is only one of a number of people who wrote these articles. Given the bullet point nature of the Question and Reply I say he only wrote some of them.

REPORTING: Benjamin Chertoff, Davin Coburn, Michael Connery, David Enders, Kevin Haynes, Kristin Roth, Tracy Saelinger, Erik Sofge and the editors of POPULAR MECHANICS.
PHOTOGRAPHY RESEARCH: Sarah Shatz.
SOURCES: For a list of experts consulted during the preparation of this article, click here.

But the crucial thing for me here is the last bit. Unlike most conspiracy sites they actually quote their sources meaning if you really wanted to you could contact each and everyone of the individuals to substantiate their comments.

The response to that is, I suppose, that if they didn't die how we were told, they deserve justice. Personally I don't give that a lot of credability in this case, but IMO a lot of conspiracy theorists are driven by all the right motivations. Seems that they view it as much like catching a murderer- it doesn't bring back the victim, but it gives them justice.

People do these things for all sorts of reasons. Some people just like consipracies or knowing better than everyone else (the moon landing guys in particular... They seem to love the conspiracy theories since it makes them better than the ignorant masses )

What I hate is the suggestions of cowardice from the 3 planes that reached their target... Not from here, mind, but you see it quite often. It's just... I don't know. Sickening, is the word I think. We have no idea what they did or didn't do, or why, and treating victims and survivors like that, I can't abide it.

Fair point. But most of my info does not come from 'Conspiracy sites' as you say.

Have a look at a complete left wing nutter like Naom Chomsky (joking)...... he doesn't wirte about 9/11 but American Foreign Policy in general. Completely referenced, thousands in each book in fact. But he is still disputed, and called an 'American hating liberal loonie'.
