How photos support your own "reality"

Why do 9/11 deniers see an alternative story in pictures of the attacks? Because we all interpret images according to our biases.

    Well, I doubt the official

    story of 9/11 and not because of pictures. I asked myself from the beginning why was there no airforce intervention within in minutes as there should have been. That question has never been adequately addressed, until it is, I will have doubts. That is all.

    No one, no one has answered that question. I can remember when there was that rash of highjackings in the sixties and seventies and fighters were scrambled and up in the air within a few minutes at most and for this there was up to 30 minutes delay? Please, answer, why?

    That is the basic question however much the field is cluttered and obscured by questions of "flashes" and photographs and the melting point of steel.
