Dissecting 9/11 Conspiracy Theories - First Tuesday Lecture

7/11 was a part time job. 🙄

Q and A regardless of the topic please learn this. Whoever has the mic should repeat the question so the answer means more as those who are not there can not hear the question. There should be no argument about that.

It’s hard to find actual 9/11 conspiracy theories so watching debunking videos is a good way to see what the conspiracies are

The sad thing is most people are more comfortable feeling certain with a lie than being uncertain seeling truth.

At 16:16 he is complaining that a conspiracy theorist kept revising their version of events, suggesting that revising your story reduces your credibility. Then at 35:04 he says, "If you are searching for the truth, your beliefs must be revisable." 🤔

Well lets look at just one element of 9/11 (WTC 7) The 4 year study by the Institute of Northern Engineering | University of Alaska Fairbanks has concluded and states "The principal conclusion of our study is that fire did not cause the collapse of WTC 7 on 9/11, contrary to the conclusions of NIST and private engineering firms that studied the collapse. The secondary conclusion of our study is that the collapse of WTC 7 was a global failure involving the near-simultaneous failure of every column in the building." This is no longer a conspiracy, it is FACT And to lump this into the same category as "flat earthers" is absolute stupidity. (insert cute animal pic here)

This is the worst CIA op ever

In fact what most call conspiracy theories, like this not very intelligent speaker, in reality are just questions and doubts about the official version (for the 9/11 we obviously have a laughable official version). If a story/event is absolutely absurd and I question this absurd version, that doesn't mean that I have a solution, it just means that I won't accept an illogical and nonsensical explanation. You, instead eat everything they serve without using your brain cells. Differences.

That list of “all of the theories” is not very comprehensive…. You’re missing some of the bigger questions. Like where is the 2.3 trillion dollars that Rummy said was missing, and the search was happening in building seven? That’s the one that I wonder about. The money trail…. And who benefits. Those are the questions. Rummy, Cheney, and a lot of others made more money because of the “war on terror” than is imaginable. Trillions.

The best way to debunk some conspiracy theories is to get a job working for the government for a couple of years. You'll quickly realize that most people have no idea what is going on and stumble their way through 99% of things on a day-to-day basis. Plus most conspiracy theories have a foundation the government has total control over everything.

Wow. You explained nothing, and only enforced the concept of a 'conspiracy theory' in the most extreme definition of the phrase. There are very in depth theories, with a lot of documented evidence, which you are obviously not aware of because like most 'debunkers' you've never actually read one of the real theories behind this. Please do actuall research in the subject matter you wish to discuss next time. I was hoping for an intellectually based conversation to help me with the finer points of the more in depth theories as to how the buildings fell etc. But I see now you just like to keep reminding people that "if it's called a conspiracy theory it must be wrong"

50:29 "A lot of conspiracy theories begin with your imagination." No, they don't. They begin when the official story doesn't make any sense. Or when the collapse of a building that wasn't hit by a plane is completely ignored in the official report.

This is gonna be a fun comment section to read.

This lecture is a testament to why university is a waste of time and money

FACT: The number of United States troops who have died fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had passed 7,000 at the end of 2019. Official Pentagon numbers do not include the many troops who return home and kill themselves as a result of psychological wounds such as PTSD. Over 30,177 service members and veterans of the post-9/11 wars have committed suicide -- over four times as many as have died in combat. 😢 P.S. WE NEVER FOUND WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION 😢

Jane Stanley of BBC didn’t accidentally misread that building 7 collapsed because the broadcast also scrolled text on the screen also stating that the building had collapsed and when it was obvious from the view behind her that the building had not collapsed, they cut the live feed from New York and switched to a London studio.

I am going to start my own demolition business. After viewing 911 I believe I can outbid any other contractor quite easily with a few drums of jet fuel. I will bring down the largest and most robust buildings in an afternoon whilst all the others fumble around for weeks rigging the buildings with explosives.

More than one hour of speech and he never mentioned Architects and Engineers. Mostly responding to theories in youtube comments….

FACT: The Ground Zero fires burned for almost 100 days. It took 99 days—until December 19, 2001—for the fires at Ground Zero to be extinguished. “You couldn’t even begin to imagine how much water was pumped in there,” said Tom Manley, a firefighters’ union representative. “It was like you were creating a giant lake.” The fire caused by the attack on the Pentagon took approximately 36 hours to put out. I'd be curious to know how NIST or the 911 Commission explained this. 😮
