So the burden of proof is on us? That's funny.

Did you hear that whooshing noise? That was your credibility vanishing.

You will need to do better than that. The evidence for the planes is pretty straightforward and very well known. I think the burden of persuasion and proof is on you, at this point, to demonstrate the evidence of an alternative theory.

9/11 conspiracy theories are supported solely by really poor science. read this for starters. if you're not compelled, ask for more and ye shall receive.

Okay THIS I appreciate. The other two guys...whatever. I'll get back to you on this.

I wouldn't say they are supported solely by really poor science. There is also a healthy dose of really poor logic, really poor reasoning, really poor judgment...

There are several very smart scientists and engineers on this site,plus others who can help you in your search for answers. I suggest you put forward a few theories and we will discuss them on their merits.

taekwondave, in addition to the Popular Mechanics article camleish linked (and I'm amazed you've formulated an opinion on 9-11 without having read that article), here are a couple of videos that provide some additional refutations of the conspiracy theories. The first one is especially good.

I'm all for skepticism, but what I've never understood is how the 9-11 conspiracy theorists refuse to believe the data provided, yet apparently have no qualms about believing that dozens of people (that's what would have been required) were able to install explosive devices on hundreds of floors of the WTC towers without anyone questioning the activity or ratting them out. No eyewitnesses? Sometimes things really are what the government and many dozens of experts have declared them to be.

I've read the Popular Mechanics article. But I see no harm in reading it again to see if I missed something. But as I stated before, I have reasons to doubt the sincerity of that publication. If you could assuage me of those concerns as well, I'd be much obliged.

taekwondave was able to elicit one of the 3-4 funniest posts in the history of CUF, not believing 9/11 can't destroy what his board cred.

Thank you. See? I already don't have any credibility. Now let's back to saving me from more ignorance aside from just cooking.

The burden of proof WOULD be on me if I was making an argument. I'm not making an argument.

We're all about service on CUF, but how can we help if you don't articulate your concerns? You doubt the authors' "sincerity", but you don't say why. Presumably, you have facts that gave rise to your doubts. Please share them so we can do our job.
