For me, the most frustrating thing about this is that common sense will never be able to prevail. Once someone has it in their mindset that the government did this, then it doesn't matter how much evidence you throw at them - they'll always find some other minor technicality and use that as incontrovertible evidence that it was a government plot. That's why it's like a cult/religion - rational argument doesn't enter into it. We'll still be talking about this in fifty years' time because we will never be able to explain every last minutiae of the events of that day. And even if we do, the conspiracy theorists will just ignore it or claim that it's a cover-up and carry on repeating the same discredited stories, like the buildings being controlled explosions or the "FACT" that all Jews stayed away from work that day.
I am genuinely surprised to see LN still repeating the controlled explosion line; I thought that the fact that steel is weakened at a much lower temperature than its melting point was now understood and that the "truth movement" would accept that its logic that a 500-megaton building could only collapse at the steel's melting point and not earlier is utterly flawed. But it's the same warped logic as always: because the buildings fell like buildings under a controlled explosion, therefore it was a controlled explosion. Flawed logic. This just demonstrates that they'll believe anything they want. Another highlight of the Conspiracy Files programme was the guy behind Loose Change claiming that Popular Mechanics (the first scientific journal to systematically debunk the conspiracy theories) only knows about "tractors and things". This coming from a self-confessed drop-out. But that's the blinkered reality in which these people operate: a respected, 100-year-old scientific publication of engineers and mechanics has no idea what it's talking about, while a small group of 21-year-old dropouts with a high-speed internet connection and some video-editing software has the true insight into the events of that day. Do me favour.
Oh, by the way how many?
Woof!
