This is attempt number two in what I hope to be an edifying discussion on what happened at ground zero of the WTC collapse on 9/11/2001.
Per Lou's request, and in an attempt to keep a civil conversation, no specific person or persons themselves will be promoted on this thread, although all primary sources and data are admissible as evidence (which needs to be cited). This discussion is limited to the data itself and ad hominem arguments are not to be made. If the evidence itself can be refuted or seen in a different light, that is fair game. Please refrain from outright conjecture. Off topic conversations will most likely be removed.
If you ask almost any American citizen over the age of ~23 where they were at and what they were doing on the morning of 9/11/2001, when they first heard about events happening in New York city, they will most likely be able to tell you precisely both of these things. This is probably the most memorable moment of the 21st century in the United States of America, to this point in time. We have a number of wars we engaged in which were justified because of what was said to have happened on this day. In fact, we have a perpetual war on 'terrorism' that is justified by this event. Having some idea of what happened that day is important to understanding a number of things that surround America's foreign policy, and whether they are legitimate or not. If things on the ground did not happen as they have been officially told, then there are some serious implications. One can decide for themselves exactly what those implications are or are not, but this thread is focused only on what really happened that day.
Next: To the evidence itself.
