I never said I wholly believe the official story, but believing the 9/11 conspiracy theories requires willfully ignoring a lot of easily seen evidence.
Now it's been almost twenty years since I've seen Loose Change, but I'll tell you about my experience watching it.
It started out interesting, and cited some news articles, which if true, were very concerning. Then it devolved into citing Wikipedia, and finally "Random Internet Guy on forum says he saw the passengers from Flight 11 being unloaded at the airport under armed guard!" and other completely unverifiable claims.
Still, if any of this was true, it was concerning, and it led me to do my own internet searching for more information.
One of the first things I found was a news article from which LC took a quote from the coroner on the site of the Flight 93. The coroner said they hadn't found any bodies, and LC used that as evidence that F93 was actually remote controlled and unmanned.
However, the next paragraph in the article went on to describe how it was hours later that they finally started finding human remains, because they had been blown to shreds and scattered over a wide area by the impact.
The LC makers chose to ignore that part of the article to instead push their narrative. That is flat out lying, and that made me really start looking into their claims.
I also found an article from a couple years later, interviewing the same coroner in which he detailed the painstaking and gruesome work he and a handful of assistants had done for two or three years to catalog and DNA test every scrap of tissue and fragment of bone so that they could return the remains to the families of the victims.
I realize from your sarcastic tone, that you regard me as one of the sheeple who believe whatever CNN tells me, so I'm not going to waste much more time providing you with facts that can easily be verified. However, I'll point out the following:
No, the Pentagon was not struck by a missile. You can easily find pictures of the streetlights that were knocked over by the wingspan of the 757 that hit them. You can find pictures of the fuselage fragments other parts that still bear the AA markings.
No, WTC 7 didn't just magically implode. You can find pictures of the gaping hole torn in one corner from the debris from the collapsing towers. You can find video of smoke pouring out from the lower floors.
No, the WTCs did not free fall. There are multiple videos from multiple sources that you can use to time its collapse, and compare that to its height and you will see it's not even close to free fall.
No, the towers did not fall due to controlled demolition. Controlled demolition requires months of preparation, breaking away concrete supports until the building is barely standing on its own. It requires miles of wiring to control the explosives that must detonate with millisecond timing. Wireless is not used, because any interference could screw the whole thing up.
The idea that this happened in two of the largest, busiest buildings in the world, in one of the busiest cites, and nobody fucking noticed is beyond belief.
Plus, it didn't even look like a controlled demolition. Imploded buildings collapse into their own footprint. The towers' tops started falling, and the sides peeled away like a banana.
All this information is out there, but if you're only looking for conspiracies, that all you're going to find.
You clearly spent the time to read everything I said, and this is a very reasonable response, and you are a sane and stable genius who is clearly seeking truth at the expense of ego, and not at all just a foaming-at-the-mouth idiot.
Btw, what are your top 5 pieces of evidence supporting the official story?
Excellent use of sarcasm in a misdirection attempt, but nobody's biting. It's possible to oppose a poorly-constructed argument without adopting the contrapositive. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Loose Change was the "documentary" that made me realize 9/11 truthers were full of shit, and made me critical of conspiracy theorists in general.
It is specious garbage.

I submit to your superior intellect.
