First, a disclaimer: I am NOT a conspiracy theorist or a 9/11 "truther" or anything like that.

With that said...who has seen this movie? Like I said, I really do NOT want to believe virtually anything that they discuss but they have some pretty intense evidence, namely the molten steel and WTC 7 stuff.

I guess my biggest question is...why would the 9/11 Commission just ignore these things altogether?

Against the movie, I find it difficult to believe that any "elite few" could permeate the hundreds of levels of government that they would have to convince to work for them to pull off something like that. I also doubt the Fed could be wielded by any "elite few" to curb the wealth of people. So, I think the basic premise of the movie is flawed.

I saw the movie last night and basically have been racking my brain trying to wrap it around ANY portion of that film.

I agree it was a lot of energy...but they interviewed WTC designers that said the two towers were actually designed to withstand an impact of a major airliner.

And, yes, I meant molten aluminum.

What about the thermite and the fact that all the security systems was redone 6 months before 9/11 by a company that just happened to be owned by George Bush's youngest brother.

Previous analysis of progressive collapse showed that gravity alone suffices to explain the overall collapse of the World Trade Center Towers. However, it remains to be determined whether the recent allegations of controlled demolition have any scientific merit. The present analysis proves that they do not. The video record available for the first few seconds of collapse is shown to agree with the motion history calculated from the differential equation of progressive collapse but, despite uncertain values of some parameters, it is totally out of range of the free fall hypothesis, on which these allegations rest. It is shown that the observed size range (0.01–0.1  mm) of the dust particles of pulverized concrete is consistent with the theory of comminution caused by impact, and that less than 10% of the total gravitational energy, converted to kinetic energy, sufficed to produce this dust (whereas, more than 150  t of TNT per tower would have to be installed, into many small holes drilled into concrete, to produce the same pulverization). The air ejected from the building by gravitational collapse must have attained, near the ground, the speed of almost 500 miles per hour (or 223  m/s, or 803  km/h) on average, and fluctuations must have reached the speed of sound. This explains the loud booms and wide spreading of pulverized concrete and other fragments, and shows that the lower margin of the dust cloud could not have coincided with the crushing front. The resisting upward forces due to pulverization and to ejection of air, dust, and solid fragments, neglected in previous studies, are indeed found to be negligible during the first few seconds of collapse but not insignificant near the end of crush-down. The calculated crush-down duration is found to match a logical interpretation of seismic record, while the free fall duration grossly disagrees with this record.

I love how every few months some gullible mouth-breather joins 2007 and acts as if this movie has opened their eyes and "made them think."

I'm convinced it is a DU/Paulbot conspiracy, and I'll be releasing an in-depth documentary about it shortly.
