As is the fact that it's also my birthday. At least no-one forgets it now

It is odd how a load of experts say that the Towers and other building could not collapse like that unless they were pre wired.

I'm no expert so I have no idea what is possible but I do know that people are always happier to believe an explanation that makes them feel more comfortable.

I read that the buildings had an exo skeleton and centre cores.
The centre cores got wiped by the planes so collapsed in on itself.
They were brick and block.
If they were poured concrete then probably wouldn't have collapsed.
Now they are all poured concrete.
Check the new blocks going up and the shafts are first and built around.
Pre wired yeh some story that would make!

All the information exists in the public domain for you to make a detailed and reasoned judgement, including specifics around WT7.

'Hypothetical blast events did not play a role in the collapse of WTC 7," the report states, adding that investigators "found no evidence whose explanation required invocation of a blast event." Moreover, the smallest charge capable of initiating column failure "would have resulted in a sound level of 130 dB [decibels] to 140 dB at a distance of at least half a mile." Witnesses did not report hearing such a loud noise, nor is one audible on recordings of the collapse.'

But maybe they were using super special area51 technologies that made the blasts inaudible! Or maybe they built them into the walls and gagged hundreds of contractors when the building was first built in 1973. A grand plan, finally executed. Or maybe the simplest, least complex solution in this instance is the right one.

Also, if you were the CIA you'd have to be pretty stupid to keep all your plans to demolish the WTC, in the WTC. And then not demolish your own building at the same time to avoid suspicion. But then the government are stupid aren't they? Stupid enough to concoct such an insanely complex plan and pull it off, right? Right?

Not all conspiracy theories are completely loony but sometimes it's good to give the social exclusion feeding a need to feel secure and in control while maintaining a positive self-image a rest.

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

Planes, hijacked by terrorists, crashing into a tower block and killing thousands is horrific enough in its own right.

I'm not sure that it's a matter of searching for a more comforting version. Rather just what is more probable to have happened.

While it's not impossible for a government to harm or even kill its own people with a wider aim in mind, I don't tend to think that on this scale and how many people would've had to have been involved, it makes it very unlikely.

If we go down this controlled explosion route, why even involve planes in the first place? Just pin explosions on a terror group. The amount of simultaneous aspects that are apparently going on if this is a conspiracy seems both surplus to requirements and improbable that it wouldn't come out at some point.

I certainly don't agree with our optional interventions abroad, or attempts by contractors and corporations to profit from occupying nations or parlaying disasters like 9/11 into largely opportunistic wars. We have had a hand in destabilising and contributing to misery, there is no doubt about that.

On the other hand though, if people train themselves up to commit a horrendous act like the one in question on account that they feel it will take them to paradise, they're not operating with a full deck. You can only take so much responsibility for others actions, especially if they choose to target innocents.
