Grylls, I`m hearing your whole conspiracy theory but a real conspiracy theory needs a reason why it would be done by the govt. So what is it? To go into Iraq for their oil? Iraq was in violation of UN sanctions for numerous things for years that alone was grounds to go in there. If you wanna say "oil" how is Bush or USA benefiting from Iraq oil... where are the USS BUSH oil tankers? The kurds and turks in the north were the ones stealing the oil.
Second, are you an architect? Are you familiar with the internal structure of WTC? It was a steel frame down the middle held together by a steel like mesh on the outside shell. The story goes , the planes hit around the 70th floor (30 floors of weight on top of impact zone) and knocked off a lot of fire proofing insulation (very conceivable), the steel supports down the middle got so hot (do you know what temp jet fuel burns at?) they started to bow down with gravity (very possible... ever use a torch to cut steel), when those gave the floors started dropping on top of each other causing a huge boom with each floor, adding more and more weight.
maybe "the govt" got to popular mechanics too. Never know them to be that political, more science backed

Thanks for respecting my views. I see so many times people open up a big can of worms with this subject and they end up throwing themselves to the wolves.
Ok, im not going to get into everything i believe and the reasons i believe it and the facts that make me believe what i do but i will address these questions.
First i do not care either way what happened in NYC. Its a very sad event and no matter how you look at it allot of loss of innocent lives have come from it. US, Iraqis and Afghanistan innocent citizens so i am in no way taking away from the fact we will and always should give our prayers to those who died and the love ones left behind to be in pain the rest of there life.
Why do i think the buildings where demolished. It was an excuse to get PUBLIC support for a war in Iraq and Afghanistan. I know you mentioned we already had reasons but after the failed gulf war the American public would have never backed another war when we should have taken care of it to start with.
So, it justified a war thats main purpose was to generate BILLIONS of dollars into the pockets of the "powers that be".
How did this was make billions? Government contracts like Halliburton and many others contracts given out to people who had a hand in taking part in 9/11. Insurance - Those buildings had just been purchased and the insurance was raised and a clause was put in the insurance policy that specially covered terrorist attacks by airplane . In order to collect the full amount all 3 building had to be totally destroyed. Silverstien paid 3.6 billion for all 3 buildings and by them being totally destroyed he gets 7+ billion.
Another BIG reason - Put options. Billions where made from put options taken just a few days from the attacks.
I can go on and on, but you get the point. To sum it up - MONEY is why those buildings where destroyed.
The buildings. Again not wanting to throw in the fact i have been around demolitions most of my life i know a little about buildings and structures.
I have video of the architect who designed the wtc. He said on national TV that he designed those buildings to take multiple hits by airliners. He explained the structure as being like a tennis racket. You can stick a pencil in a tennis racket and it will do nothing. Those buildings are exactly the same.
Ok as far as how they fell. For the entire building to be PULVERIZED like they where explosives had to be used. If the "official" excuse of the buildings pancaking like they say just would not happen. If the fire did weaken the structure enough to give away then the tops would have toppled over and fell to the ground leaving the floors under standing.
If you hold a pencil up and burn it about an inch from the top what will happen? The top part will fall off. Period. Those buildings where built to withstand allot of shit and to sit here and think they fell just because a plane hit it is bullcrap. The fires where almost out as the white smoke indicated at the one hour mark.
I know people are going to start on me now but i really dont care. I know what i SEEN. I know what i HEARD.
