Did you watch the show? Do you think this was an effective presentation debunking the leading conspiracy theories?

Yeah it was pure rubbish.
I mean as I understand it, NG actually tried to test thermite against a steel beam.
What are they thinking???As any truther will tell you, one must never test anything. Testing actually proves things and we all know where that leads.
It's much safer to remain in the world of mindless speculation based on fantasy and phony "peer-reviews."

If you bothered to read this thread, you would have seen that nobody in here learned anything new.
As it was stated...the show was "debunking for dummies"... this is a wrap up of the show:
1- Thermite could not have caused the collpases
2- Fire weakens steel
3- A missile didn't hit the Pentagon
4- Dylan Avery didn't have a scab to pick on his arm this time, while made to look like the dolt that he is.
5- Gage had the gonads to complain about scaling when that douche uses cardboard.

This hit-piece should be taken as seriously as Penn and Teller' Bullsh!t. It's just a series of moving pictures produced and edited to fill a time slot that fits a demographic to sell advertisements. They're not trying to prove anything, whether there's anything to prove or not.
Just look at the executive producer, Erik Nelson, a career writer/producer since 1980. He also lists "L.A. 10,000 B.C. (2004)" and "Monsters: Put to the Test (2003) on his resume.(imbd.com) A quick gloss/glaze on his page and I see several CT documentaries listed.....I'm sure Kevin Ryan could find a connection.
IMO, the screened version represents his best attempt to produce the most popular 9/11 CT's into an TV show that will attract the highest viewing audience. Do you think he ever considered for a single instant the possibility that the CT's he would examine could be verified instead of falsified?
What does WRZHINY expect? a NG documentary on EDX, DSC, MEK, JFK, nano-particles, particulars of nano-energetics, peer-review processes, 10,000 page NIST reports, blah blah blah.......this isn't the Washington Post breaking Watergate.

Perfect description of each and every Loose Change movie, as well as all of the AJ crap, and for that matter, any truther video out there.

Sounds like you're all for more investigation. Good for you.

Agreed. Anything done in the name of shareholder value!
In Canada, Nov 11 is Remembrance Day and the History Ch. and the CBC have docs on WW1.
Movies are made every few years documenting events in WW1, WW2,Vietnam, The Boer War, etc.
I wonder what the need is to keep doing that?
Wow. I had no idea "9/11 conspiracy" is as big as all of those historical examples. So it's not dead?
Do you have any thoughts or evidence as to 9/11 being an inside job or not, or is this just some intellectual debating challenge?
I have many thoughts on 9/11. I don't have any hard evidence of anything. See? I'm just like you.
Sound familiar...his tactic...his approach?

Don't you find it funny that they are so desperate to post on an internet forum, instead of trying to actually do anything productive to answer their stupid questions that they have to cheat and lie to create another account after they're banned?
Yah. In a way I feel sad for them. Perhaps providing them with an avenue for their frustration is enough of a reason to keep this subforum open.

They obviously don't think it was effective. Most of them have nothing to say even after they were all revved up about this special. In fact I think this thread was started before it even aired. It was an embarrassing validation for debunkers that 9/11 conspiracy is still strong and in the general public and just how much has not been debunked by the debunkers.

Yup, anyone is free to conduct more investigations. Discovery Channel, BBC, National Geographic have all done so.
Unfortunately for you all such investigations seem to end the same way.

It wasn't any more embarrassing than the Moon Landing Hoax Conspiracy Theorist special was for those at NASA.

CHF, it can be incorrect to mistake tv shows for investigations.
It's the actual investigations that refute CT's.

You mean like dropping cardboard boxes on a table?
I would never claim that the NG show was an official investigation. It was a private investigation done by a team of filmmakers using experts to conduct tests.
Think of it as Loose Change only with facts and evidence.
