Arguing about whether or not two skyscrapers succumbed to "Arab terrorists" and collapsed at near free-fall speeds right on their own footprints is boring and pointless.
Photos like the one of a girder clearly cut by thermite or video showing thermite pouring out of the WTC must have been Photoshopped by "Arab terrorists" flying around on their magic carpets, right? It's as dumb as arguing that JFK's head snapped back due to one magic bullet.
WTF is wrong with you? The "official story" is nonsense and has been since 9/11/01. The shoddy cover-up (Oops. I meant "investigation".), the rush to recycle forensic evidence offshore, et cetera, et cetera -- yet a certain percentage of the population will believe whatever Fox News and CNN feeds them because the horror of more plausible explanations is too painful to grasp and accept.
"Because we all interpret images according to our biases." Farhad, feel free to refuse assignments that will find you painted as a jackass.
