“‘ Is it a bird!?’ ‘Is it a plane?!’ ‘IT’S SUPERMAN!’ ‘No it really is a plane?’” This famous advertisement was used in news headlines around the United States referring to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. On this day Islamic terrorists hijacked American flights and attempted to attack several US business buildings.

In this case, skeptics of 9/11 believe that the government planned the “plane crash” for the reason of going to war with Iraq and Afghanistan. “In this sense [conspiracy theory] 9/11 is no different from the assassination of John F.

Flight UA 93 did not crash into the field, because if so there would have been evidence of the plane. UA 93 was simply shot down by the fighter jets. CNN news had reports three minutes after the attacks. They claim they have cameras around New York for backdrops, but that only explains the footage, not the information they had. The WTC did not stand very long because the fireproof coating was destroyed. The claim was the fire weakened the steel frames. In order to melt the frames the fire had to have been 1500* C, but reports say the fire could have only been 800* C. How is that possible? If a bird can slice through the wings of an airplane how did the plane slice through steel beams of a building? North Tower stood twenty-nine minutes longer than South Tower, but the destruction was the same. What made the tower stand longer? Building 7 was the furthest away from the towers, yet was still damaged. Why? There was no silhouette of the plane imprinted on the Pentagon. Instead a circular shape
