> **Mozart1220** , fair warning: if you start talking conspiracy shit on this board, you will get your ass handed to you by all the regulars here. No one here believes the WTC was brought down by anything other than a pair of 767s piloted by pissed-off Saudis. This board has been debunking the conspiracy theories since 9/11/01 and will probably still be doing so on 9/11/99. You want to say you’re just asking questions? Don’t bother. The questions have been answered, extensively and repeatedly and the answer is there is no conspiracy.

> As for the OP, if the WTC towers were rebuilt as-was, would anyone really want to lease space in them? We already know what kind of impact will cause them to fail so why invite round 2? But they’d be built with modern materials and better fireproofing one might object. But the terrorists might try hitting them at 10am next time instead, when the buildings are packed with people.

In other words, “HERE IS THE OFFICIAL STORY. DON’T ASK QUESTIONS”

You people act like “conspiracies” never happen. I guess if you want to keep you heads in the sand where it’s comfortable, fine. Just remember, the more we let them get away with, the more often we’ll have to suffer these things.

Sorry, President Kennedy, no one cares anymore. We have our cell phones and 60" flatscreens, we don’t care about anything else.
