I fell down a youtube rabbit hole last night watching these videos. I always dismissed it as tin foil hat idiots and there certainly is plenty of that. There is also some disturbing issues that don't seem to have been discussed or investigated by the 9/11 commission. What say you CFMB? Any credence to this stuff or is it all BS?

The thing that has really got me is the engine found on Murray St. Plenty of very clear pictures. It doesn't belong to a 767 (both planes that crashed into the towers), it has been identified as an engine found on a 737...

The towers were brought down by fires weakening the steel of a building that was severely compromised by the impact of the jetliners.

The structure of the WTC towers was unique in that the exterior wall (and a central core) provided the bulk of the structural support. The walls that were destroyed by the impact were more or less an exoskeleton for the building. That is why the 2nd tower that was hit fell first. The plane hit it at an angle where it punched through two perpendicular sides of the building and put a significant amount of stress on that surviving corner between them. The steel columns that remained were asked to take on a higher load than they were designed to and could've done so had they not had fire reduce their strength to 50%.

Those buildings could have survived the fires or they could have survived the plane impacts. They could not survive both in conjunction with each other.

I think that as with any major government investigation the aim is to cover their ass rather than actual find out what occurred. I believe that's the main issue with conspiracy theories of this sort. That said, it happened on live television, so I believe what I saw, not the controlled blast or some of the other crazy things.

I'm not saying that a plane didn't crash. I'm more concerned with how an engine from a 737 was found when we were told two 767s crashed into the buildings. That is what has me wearing the tin foil hat right now.

Also that doesn't explain why tower 7 collapsed from only fire.

Building 7 was never hit, yet it fell, just like a professional, controlled implosion. There hasn't been a good explanation for that.

If the government or bigfan hasn't permanently silenced him, I believe jbills is the resident expert on conspiracy theories .

Exactly! Ogie made the point that a lot of deniers use. It could have handled fire or a plane crash. Tower 7 only had a fire and still fell. And they were finding molten steel 3 days later. Molten steel!

I feel so dirty even entertaining these thoughts but there are a lot of loose ends in my mind.

The problem is it wasn't a 737 engine. You're being fed false info as 737s have CFM-56 engines with a flatted nacelle to account for their low ground clearance. That was not a CFM-56. It was a JT9D and you can look at photos of them with the nacelles removed to see that.

Any you all call me crazy and delusional

I discount 90% of conspiracy theories off the bat based upon the idea that our government is too fucking stupid to pull off anything competently.

Why does it have a different cooling duct?

They shown that it was a JT9D but not the same one on a 767.

I'm not being a dick. I want the facts so that I can go back to being a normal human again.

The JT9D has several iterations and most of them have that cooling duct, including those used on the 767.

All of you who believe in this are in the same camp as Alex Jones, think about that for a second.

First Bigfoot and now this.

Pretty sure it is Panther that loves talking on this topic. Maybe 4 years ago I think he took on all comers with his conspiracy beliefs on the subject. He'll be along to give you the scoop.
