When I finished watching this, I couldn’t help but think this was true in regards to 9/11. Is this right? It can’t be. Or is it? It’s about 4 minutes long.

There’s about ten million threads debunking this already 😉

I’ll believe the missile theory when someone can tell me what happened to the 4th highjacked plane.

As if the SDMB threads weren’t enough torpedos in the side of this nonsense, there is a very intersting [thread](http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread79655/pg1) on another board. (One with a bit of a conspiracy bent).

Warning: Long load time. Lots of pics.

You will get more responses if you use a more descriptive thread title…

Meh, I knew it was gonna be about the Pentagon plane, just like the last five or six “Can anyone debunk this?” threads.

and to add to **newcrasher** ’s comment, you’d get a lot more responses if you’d summarize the content of that 4 minute video. Very few people want to click on a link without having some general idea about it.
