June 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 10:35 AM) I don't think the conspiracy denies that the buildings were hit by planes, but instead denies that the plane impacts were why the buildings went down; especially with building 7, which didn't collapse until later in the day. I was going to add this. A LOT of people don't buy the official government explanation of the collapse of Building 7. I know also a lot of people don't necessarily think things were necessarily orchestrated by the government, but feel that the 9-11 commission wasn't adequate and wasn't able to do a proper investigation, only enough to come to an inoffensive, politically correct conclusion.

With all of the people, time, and equiptment needed to undertake this operation, NO ONE has made a first hand account of either doing it, or seeing it done. There's also maybe one company in the world capable of something that large-scale.

Building 7 looked great from one side, but there was a giant gash in the back from the other towers falling on it. It also had a raging diesel fire burning for hours and a low-redundancy structural design.
June 3, 201015 yr I truly believe that the 1985 NBA draft lottery was fixed so the Knicks could get Patrick Ewing. Check out this video, the guy puts all the envelopes in normally, and throws one against the side. Of course, the envelope David Stern picks has a huge crease in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mN3OGRGybA
