In reply to the discussion: What REALLY happened to the plane that didn't hit the Pentagon on 9/11 [View all]Chan790
(20,176 posts)107. The question is largely moot.
One doesn't have to be a "true believer" in the official story to believe there was/is categorically no conspiracy and that all the conspiracy theories are bullshit dreamed up by people with stronger imaginations than understanding of science.
I believe that Islamic terrorists flew planes into the Pentagon, World Trade Center and a field in PA; also that the United States government had no part of it or of an after-the-fact cover-up. Beyond that, I neither believe or particularly care what the story, official or otherwise, is.
Coincidentally, both my first-hand experience and understanding of science reinforce and support that belief while serving to largely obliterate your own.

It's not questioning the official story that's laughed at - it's the absurd conspiracy theories.

The hijacking of 4 aircraft and subsequent crashes are just a part of the official 9/11 story.

If you can't see the plane in that video, I recommend seeing an ophthalmologist immediately.

Yes. The nose of the plane is well lit, appearing lighter. The blue stripe follows aft.

The video says there is no plane on the security footage. There clearly is one.

The NIST simulated the fires and collapses and explains them in their reports.

That doesn't jive with the NIST report. Collapse took 40% longer than total free fall.
