Yelling at each other about 9/11 (Split from the "How has Trump pissed you off today" thread)

Got the reference-Loved the movie.

We’ve passed troubled and we’re well into the point and laugh phase.

Logic is a little tweeting bird chirping in a meadow. Logic is a wreath of pretty flowers which smell bad.

– Spock

he will not - there could be good information there, answering ALL his questions - but people were not responding in a way he wanted and so he will not.

Instead, he will continue to be 100% wrong

You kinda do.

You’d think he’d prefer listening to someone like him, wouldn’t you?

And he kinda does, at that.

Everything I say to you is a lie.

Kirk

You speak the truth.

I will ask @Biffster - What evidence do you have that it was something different than three airplanes crashing into buildings, and one drilling a hole in the ground.

What do you have?

I knew you were going to ask that.

Y’all are great at feeding sea lions! Any of you live near San Fransisco, by chance? Heard there’s a bunch of them off Fisherman’s Wharf, too.

Well this one’s a blast from the past. I had to double check and make sure it was 2024 and not 2004.

He obviously doesn’t know what ignorant means either.

Wow. Just … wow.

"I can tell you things you possibly, no probably cannot believe…

I think Biffster has the wrong Trek avatar, since the one he currently has would be face-palming himself over what his usurper has been spewing here.

Maybe something like, oh I don’t know, Trelane of Gothos or Harry Fenton Mudd; perhaps even one of the Bonk Bonk On The Head Kids would be a bit more apropos. A Pakled, Ferengi, or a Kazon if we are talking about TNG-era.

Oh wait, I got it: a Tribble.

I don’t think @Biffster is cute and fuzzy.
Pakleds, on the other hand, think they’re smart. But they’re not.

The Pakleds were a species known for their limited intelligence and simplistic way of life. Their culture and society reflected this, with a focus on survival and acquiring technology by any means necessary.

It’s been 9 hours with no response, and my question was snark-free. Looks like you’re correct. (Not that I’m surprised.)

I used to know a former air crash investigator. He was part of the investigation of the Swissair crash into the Atlantic, off of Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia, in the fall of 1998. He told me that there wasn’t a piece bigger than a small coffee table.

Sorry, I missed your question. I will look when I have a chance. I am currently working on yard projects. This was meant to be a side discussion at best. I never asked for it to be put in its own category with me as the OP. Never once requested that, and the mods don’t seem to care. All I can do is choose not to be involved anymore, except perhaps to respond to the snark-free messages.

Obviously, 9/11 happened, but there are some things that don’t make sense to me, and no amount of finger wagging on anyone’s part is going to shame into towing the forum line on this topic. I didn’t realize so many dopers were so closed to ANY kind of discussion on the topic (like I said, I wasn’t privy to the previous 23 years of conversations) or I would never have brought it up. I will take a look when I have time, but don’t hold your breath if you’re expecting an instant response. I saw some of the plane wreckage photos, but I’ve gotta say, that’s it? That’s an awfully small amount of wreckage for two airliners, compared with what I’ve seen from other crashes. Nonetheless, if that’s what there was, then that’s what thee was.
