So now Salon readers are liars to support your conspiracy
[Read the article: The 9/11 deniers]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Lovely to here from lmw (first letter, sort by oldest first) that there was some actual 737 plane parts, with their associated part numbers found at the scene. Matching those part numbers to flight 77 would instantly deflate the whole 911 truth movement But wait, that would not jibe with the official story that the entire plane, including it's titanium steel engine parts were vaporized by a fire with a maximum temperature of 1800 degrees. Damn fire got everything execpt the passenger dna. Try harder next time lmw, nose cone would not be on the street if it was the first bit to hit the building."
Not, nobody claims that the entire plane was vaporized by fire, outside of straw man arguments set up by the conspiracy wako people.
The simple fact is not much is going to be left of a plane that size flying that fast hitting a concrete and steel reinforced building, fire or no fire.
BTW, since the plane hit poles and possibly the ground before the building, the fact that the nose cone came off is not unlikely.
What I want to know is if any of you conspiracy people actually think about what you are saying, because it's so silly that it seems you can't be serious.
Look at your argument, which is this. It wasn't a plane that hit the building, but to make it look like a plane, the planners faked DNA evidence for people, but couldn't let any parts survive, so they claim it all burned up, but the DNA.
Now, that's stupid on it's face, but let's add to it that if it was faked they could simply have said NOBODY WAS ON THE PLANE EXCEPT THE CREW. Then they wouldn't have to worry about such details as DNA and the fact the people on the plane are DEAD, or perhaps you think they and their families are part of the conspiracy as well?
Answer this, where are the passengers?
You are like Holocaust deniers arguing that Jews weren't really killed, they just all went into hiding and haven't been seen if 60 years.

Gold Bar Proof
[Read the article: The 9/11 deniers]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Well, I doubted this story before, but now who can argue with the overwhelming proof presented that a firefighter at a dinner said they were ordered to stop working once said gold bars were reached.
No doubt the gold bars were used as some sort of ballast under the foundation because, that sort of shit happens all the time. We always buried gold bars under tall buildings, it's because of the Irish influence in this country, and everyone kept getting confused trying to find the ends of rainbows.
I am a little confused as if it was only this one firefighter who was aware of the gold bars. See, if it was only he who was aware, then the rest don't know why they stopped digging, so his story doesn't make sense. If everyone was aware, then it seems odd that such information only makes itself known at dinner parties.

What happened to sanity?
[Read the article: The 9/11 deniers]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Seriously, it appears that a good majority of replies written in response to this article are authored by either people so detached from reality or so incapable of critical thinking that it appears Salon readers must consist of elementary school dropouts.
Do you people who believe the underlying points in Loose Change ever bother checking any facts at all? Because you keep repeating points from the movie as true, when they are not.
Let's take the whole, these are the only buildings to fall down mantra. While it might be arguable that these were the only steel frame buildings to fall down from fire, they are far from the only steel frame buildings to fall down in a progressive collapse. I've personally seen it happen in 1985 in Los Angeles. Too many structural beams were stored incorrectly in one spot leading to failure of the supporting members and a progessive failures much like that of the WTC buildings.
The fact is buildings of this type fall in exactly this manner when supporting members fail.
Plus, let's examine briefly the whole controlled demolitions theory, which purports that the buildings collapsed in a manner exactly as when they bring buildings down in their own footprint. This is done so the buildings don't damage surrounding buildings.
Now, why on Earth would it matter if you are conspiring to have planes highjacked and flown into buildings, with thousands of lives at risk, to actually control the demolition so it doesn't damage nearby buildings?
Really, even if you know NOTHING about engineering, that alone should be a red flag. Why not simply topple the building over? Nothing to could be gained by the conspiracy by bringing the building down on its own footprint that wouldn't be better served toppling the buildings to the side.
See, that's the problem with Conspiracy theories is that they are never internally consistent, and aspects always contradict other aspects.
