   It would be silly to think otherwise.  America is the most powerful country in the world (as they say in media) and you are telling me that some stupid idiots with a few days of flying experience hijack 3 plans on the same day and manage to fly it into a zone that is more secure than than Buckingham palace without triggering any alarms.  The armed jets guarding NYC are supposed to scramble within 25 secs of UFO flying over NYC and on that they don't.
   
   You might want to visit - http://www.911truth.org/ for more info.
   
   I can accept that the terrorists blowing up something small but to do t on that scale and leave so much silly clues around that they were identified so quickly after the incident is just to much out of hollywood movie and stinks of a scripted plan.
   
   That's just my view based on the info I have seen and after looking at the research done by - http://www.ae911truth.org/
   
   They can hide it as much as they like - but the truth will prevail and the story will be told maybe not now but in the decades to come future generations will find the truth.
   
   Good luck with finding the truth.

   If you're doing research on this topic let me suggest to you, that I am no engineer.  However one of my clients is a former NYFD employee who was quite high ranking at the time of 911.  He later did a large amount of work as an independent consultant for emergency preparation and still does.  We have discussed this at length on a few occassions.  He directed me to the NIST report which has done detailed reconstruction to the most minute aspect of the events from an enginnering standpoint.  The science behind this really makes many of the accusation of an inside job look ridiculous.  It is quite long and detailed.  And much of the engineering aspects had to be explained to me as I have no formal training in the field.  The report can be found here.

   I think it's very possible. In fact, the large amount of evidence points to an inside job.
   
   In October, 2000, Nick Rockefeller told the late Hollywood producer, Aaron Russo, that there would be a big event coming up soon which would give US Iraq and Afghanistan and that we would be chasing terrorists in caves, and that we would be conducting a never-ending war on terror. Interesting details. Mr. Russo didn't know what to make of it until the big event 11 months later led to an attack on those 2 countries.
   
   Several military officers really blew it on 9/11 in not protecting our air space from the hijackers and in not protecting the Pentagon. And yet every one of them was promoted after 9/11. VP Dick Cheney was aware of the airplane headed for the Pentagon 20 minutes out, 10 minutes out, 5 minutes. According to Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta, Cheney told one soldier that the "order still stands." But what order? If it was to shoot down planes off course and not responding, then they had their chance and blew it. If the order was to stand down, then why? They were on one of several drills that day with mock hijackings during the actual hijackings. Why then? Why were most of the jet fighters on the East Coast doing drills on the same day?
   
   Why did the government commit a felony by destroying crime scene evidence starting on 9/11 -- shipping WTC steel overseas as cheap scrap?
   
   Why did Bush block other investigations and drag his feet on a federal investigation for more than 400 days? Why did he underfund the investigation with far less than that used to investigation Clinton's sexual infidelities?
   
   WTC 1, 2 and 7 collapsed at near free-fall acceleration. The original Potential Energy (PE) of each bldg was used almost entirely for that acceleration. It takes far more PE to fall at near free-fall, completely pulverize all of the concrete in each bldg, bend or break all the previously undamaged steel beams in each bldg, eject massive pyroclastic clouds across all of Lower Manhattan, and heat up those clouds as felt by nearby witnesses. Each of these extras takes immense amounts of energy not available in the original gravitational potential.
   
   The fires were not hot enough to melt steel, and yet there were at least several tons of iron microspheres in the 9/11 dust. This indicates previously molten iron. These facts prove controlled demolition. Controlled demolition takes weeks of unfettered access which proves inside job.
   
   Plus much more!...

   No, I do think 9/11 was an inside job. If so does that mean Osama Bin Laden was an employee of the U.S. government. Our defenses were down. The intelligence community fumbled the ball and more attention was given to traditional military and terrorist targets.
   
   Conspiracy theories are really bothersome. They pop up years later. They can never be proved and the discussion of it accomplishes little.
   
   9/11 was a tragedy. I walked into my office right before the second tower was hit. We knew then it was no accident.
