I am glad you people can amuse each other so easily. Everybody was shocked when the towers fell. The explanation was that they were hit by huge airplanes that were full of airplane fuel . The fuel ignited and the temperatures were so high the building structure failed. OK fine. Bldg 7 was not hit by an airplane. It did not have airplane fuel fueled fires melting the structure. It was hit by debris. It burned. So we understand the towers. But Bldg 7 was different, yet still fell. The answer is not they were blown up. It is that they were some very shitty designed and built structures. But I can see why people wondered what the hell happened. The circumstances were different, yet the result was the same. But there is no evidence showing there was a better explanation. ---

[/QUOTE] There WAS and IS evidence, you idiot. But you’d have to open your freaking ears and have the wit to understand it (which, based on your ‘they were some very shitty designed and built structures’ assertion clearly demonstrates you can do neither). You are just a CT nutter of a different stripe…perhaps less despicable than most of the scum because, sadly, you are nearly too stupid for words. Luckily for you the brain power to run your nervous system still operates, though gods know sometimes I wonder if you need to walk around with a portable life support system just in case… -XT ---

Since tower 1 & 2 came down via controlled demolition there had to be many people controlling it from a secret location. The secret location was inside building 7. The demolition of WTC7 not only destroyed this secret location but also eliminated all of the henchmen involved in the plot. One lone mastermind masterfully covering his tracks. Mu-ha-ha-ha. ---

You are making the classic mistake, Miller, second only to the classic ‘don’t start a land war in Asia’…that being, to paraphrase from the Matrix: You do not need to destroy to WTC. That’s impossible. Instead… only try to realize the truth…there IS no WTC! Never was! Once you realize the truth, then you can start to get to the heart of the REAL conspiracy… -XT ---

> [@DanBlather](#): > > Now that we know WTC was pulled down by cables rather than as the result of fire and debris from WTC 1 & 2, let’s have a serious discussion about why that was necessary. Was it the secret entry to the Bat Cave? A common misconception, probably brought about by translation error. The towers were brought down by CABBIES - New York City Muslim cabbies, who coordinated their movements by radio. They all smashed their cabs into the ground floors simultaneously. My proof? It was impossible to get a cab in Manhattan immediately after the towers collapsed. The planes were simply coincidence. ---

It was the cables. WTC 7 was only held up by cables attached to 1 & 2. As soon as the zombie wombat pirates, and kopek, pulled down 1 & 2 at the behest of Illuminati, Rosicrucians, and Brits, to get at the stockpile of orichalcum and gold that was hiding Obamas birth certificate, WTC 7 simply fell over. That distracted everybody from noticing that Saddam Hussein carted off WTC 8 which contained the weapons of mass destruction. Then Bush erased all records of WTC 8 while he was trying to change the channel on the TV with the nuclear football, which had luckily been replaced with a magic wand pointing device by the neo-cons at Dick Cheney’s behest. That’s why Hillary Clinton and John Kerry told Colin Powell to tell all those lies to the UN, the evidence that Saddam had WMDs was accidentally erased. We’ll never be able to prove it now, because we’ve withdrawn all troops from Iraq, and we’ll never find where Saddam hid WTC 8. This couldn’t be more obvious. ---

The WTC towers “collapsed” due to lack of fiber. They were massively [obstipated](http://images.icanhascheezburger.com/completestore/2008/7/16/obstipation128607195082217231.jpg) and blew out at their weakest point. They don’t want you to know.
