Let me check for accuracy: Are you saying you are right and they are wrong, or what?
Yes. I am as equally qualified or more so than the vast majority of them.
and you realise the list is simply those that signed a petition not active members. Also do you know that not a single peer reviewed paper has emerged from these groups.
The above is not in the least bit logical. You have not proven that 1000s saw anything.
And you have not proven they did not. Simply put no one has ever asked them to come forward and testify to what they saw.
Even your cohorts will tell you that the above is factually inaccurate. As for me, I will go further and say that your quoted claim is not merely inaccurate, it is delusional, as to yourself; and, misleading as to the rest of us.
What cohorts??? Please name a single gov. agency that asked for members of the public to come forward and give sworn depositions to say what they witnessed. No appeal was made because no appeal was necessary. The videos and physical evidence plus the official reports of Fire and policemen, DNA etc makes eyewitness testimony from the public utterly superfluous. Do you really imagine your fantasy version would last 5 minutes in any court?
Yes I not only doubt, I here assert that when put into a position where telling the truth matters, next to no one will claim they saw and heard a widebody jetliner.
Why? If 40 or so people filmed it, is it not likely that at least 10X saw it?
We have at least one eye witness that posts here. How many eye witnesses do you have that did not see a plane when they should have...zero!
Let me know if anything in the preceding sentence is unclear to you and I will clarify it for you as best I can.
I understand you perfectly. You are simply mistaken
I have said many, many times that the people who were documented to be in the best possible place to observe and who had either a duty or a professional reason to be observant report neither seeing nor hearing a plane, let alone a jetliner.
Nonsense, everyone who was looking in the right direction reports seeing the plane. If they were looking in a different direction they merely heard the sound. Since the impact was hundreds of feet above their heads, by the time they heard either the plane or the impact all they would have seen is the explosion, which is what they report.
Two of the best who fit the description of being in the best documented place and who had a duty to be observant and who report neither seeing nor hearing a jetliner are:
Asst. Commissioner Stephen Gregory
Photographer David Handschuh
Let me know if anything in the above list naming Stephen Gregory and David Handschuh as quinessentially important NO PLANE witnesses is unclear to you and I will do what I can to clarify further.
How are they the best? please clarify why you think this is the case.
Yes. I have documented that very issue in this thread. Video segment # 12 of the ALL43 shows no plane and, equally significant, the people in the video, i.e., the people behind the camera also do not comment on a plane; and, instead, make the statement that is consistent with the best witnesses referring solely to an explosion; or, to use the exact words in that video segment:
"...they're bombing it..."
I documented this early on. See post # 68

There are two to four of the ALL43 videos that do not show a plane. This is already documented in this thread. You are not up to speed.
Get back to you tomorrow on that when I have had the time to plough throught them again (but I'm sure others have already refuted your assertion)
please give us the time of the two clips.
You apparently still do not realize that beliefs are not being questioned. People can continue to believe in the common storyline of 9/11 for as long as they can as far as I am concerned.
They are being questioned! what do you think truthers have been doing for 9 years! And those questions have been satisfactorily answered for 9 years.
As to sanity, as it relates to common, ordinary emotional well being among people in a society, I would say that strong belief in common storyline of 9/11is a form of coping mechanism.
And I would say irrational disbelief is a sign of insanity. Maybe the official story line is all force but there is no compelling evidence for that being the case and none at all for the insane no plane idea.
Consider, if you would, the impact on your emotional well-being of coming to the recognition that the common storyline is false. How much of an emotional investment in the common storyline do you have? What would happen to you if you were to stop believing in the common storyline? Needless to say you do not have to post answers here. These are things you can consider, think about, or reject as you see fit.
I have considered it and barring a credible alternative I see no reason to disbelieve it. What is your credible alternative? I have no emotional attachment to it at all. I am an engineer, things make engineering sense or they don't. The official theory has zero engineering problems, yours has nothing but......so rationally which one should I regard as more correct?
Anecdotally, I here assert that I am aware of many people who simply do not wish to go there. That is, many people who do not wish to think deeply about 9/11 because they don't think they can do anything about it and deeper thought would only "depress" them.
I don't get depressed. It would simply be an interesting problem for me to solve. I'm not American so I really have no stake in whether or not the Gov. did it...I can get on a plane and go back to UK anytime I please.
It is not so much that they believe the common storyline, rather, they simply do not want to take the risks to their sense of well-being that consideration of the falsity of that storyline would entail.
I believe in it as far as the tech subjects go. Sure W might have fooled some terrorist into thinking they were doing this for some Islamic reason but I have no way to say one way or the other so its of little interest to me. It would affect my well being not one iota.
That is understandable. That is one reason why I always reiterate that I do not question people's beliefs and that I am very comfortable with people continuing to believe the common storyline for as long as they can.
You question them all the time and we question yours. All we are asking you for is for you to back up your assertions with solid research. hand waving away questions and other people testimony is not research, its wild guesswork.
Let me put it plainly: The people who post here are obviously willing to put their emotional attachment to the common storyline to some degree of risk. That is commendable. Others are not willing to do that. Some come here, but block out my posts. One has to ask: Does that make them feel better?
who knows? You are quite obviously mentally ill, some have more time for the mentally ill than others.
Goodness knows I am not here seeking to upset anyone.
Then why are you here? you are convincing no one.
