How did you rule out that 911 was an inside job?

That's right, they were bored, drunk, and horny and one says "Hey, I'm bored and horny. Let's go crash some planes in some U.S. buildings so Allah will give us 72 virgins."

Provided you can get into the cockpit, and provided you know a little bit about flying, crashing a jet is not hard at all. Even crashing it into a building is not that hard. Just point and crash.

Maybe on MS Flight Simulator.

Well, I'm convinced. It is clearly much harder to crash a plane than to pilot it safely. I call for the immediate closure of all pilot training facilities, as they are no more than a black hole of funding.

I've been in a real Boeing 737 simulator. You know, the big kind on hydraulic jacks and which are used to train airline pilots. I did approaches and landings in it. Successfully, I would add, and when I was 16. How about you?

By the way, ever hear of kamikazes? Do you think those guys were experienced pilots or were they just thrown into the cockpit after just a few hours of training?

I used to work at a flight simulator company. I was not so successful in all my takeoffs and landings. Crashing, on the other hand, seemed to be much easier to me (you could say it came naturally).

 

[Jonnyclueless]

We're expected to believe that without any training or lisc you were able to crash a plane? Impossible!

But you know, maybe i all the airlines just hired untrained pilots, they wouldn't have to worry about plane crashes since none of the pilots would have the skills to crash a plane.

Let's not forget a prerequisite of being part of this conspiracy would be that you are:

Immoral
Traitorous
Careless of the lives of others
Greedy

Hardly the sort of people you can rely on to keep a secret.

I believe, you came up, with the "ULTIMATE" answer!

You should watch last weeks episode of mythbusters. They used the same simulator used to train pilots. Both of them know nothing about how to fly an airplane and on their first try they had no help. You might catch some of it on the web at the discovery web site.

One of them stalled and crashed before approaching the run way and the other crash landed on the run-way. With a little help from audio only communication with an experienced pilot(who could not see what they were doing) both of them managed to land the plane just fine.

Airplanes aren't hard to fly.

This is what amazes me.

People can look at images like this and casually dismiss them as normal.

You can't argue with someone capable of seeing white where black exists.

I see buildings falling down just as I would expect.

When the indomitable conspiracy cottage industry revved up with books, videos, slogans, and protests, screeching 911 Bush/Israel/Media, it was obvious that commerce took priority over substance.

In fairness, it would be pretty difficult for them to have substance over anything else.

True.

And then there were the Kamikaze pilots who only got 8 hours or so of training...

Well why don't you use some of that common sense and answer the OP?

 

[afinemadness]

That was exactly how I figured it out common sense. I was able to put thoughts together and realized that it was the only way that it could have happened.

OK. There is an overwhelming amount of evidence, physical, circumstantial and testimonial, including statements of intent recorded in advance by the perpetrators and a full confession given without duress by the main planner of the attack, showing that the 9-11 attacks were carried out by people owing allegiance to the Al-Qaeda organisation, which has itself claimed responsibility for those attacks repeatedly. This is incompatible with the idea of 9-11 being an inside job, therefore in the absence of any credible evidence whatsoever for that latter position it is not worth serious consideration.

But what if Al-Qaeda is an illusion, created to cloak the inside job?

 

[Furi]

What if the towers where an illusion to hide the planes?

and the what if the Planes where an illusion... oh no wait that's been done

After becoming an actual Skeptic and doing actual research about the subject, I found I was just being mis-lead by Alex Jones and the rest of the crew.

I was spoon fed ******** from them and took it at face value... ick.
