This is some disturbing shit.

This is a 9/11 Conspiracy Theory but it raises some valid questions.

I call bullshit. complete bullshit on all of it

I can't discount anything you said. I took that video with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, I'm still not satisfied. 9/11 was just not what it appeared to be. There's a lot more behind it, I'm sure of it.

Maybe the government didn't do it themselves, but there's just so much bullshit surrounding this thing. And I just don't trust a god damned thing that the Bush administration or the media says. Can't say I really trust internet-produced conspiracy theory documentaries either.

I feel so helpless.

1. Concerning the blowouts below the collapse wave in the towers, I think your notion of air pressure buildup might be possible, however such pressures would only blowout windows, NOT steel-reinforced concrete as was clearly displayed by the color of the blowouts' dust clouds.

[I admit that point is not rock solid (haha...fuck), as color is subjective and may possibly have been produced by something else, though I don't know by what. My next point, however, is much harder to counter.]

2. Concerning 7 World Trade, the collapse was from the base and furthermore was even across the entire building, plainly evident from numerous videos from varying angles. Are you saying that debris from the towers falling *on top of* that building, and the debris field spreading out along the ground and possibly hitting the side facing the towers, would cause sufficient damage to *all* the basement support columns in that building, such that they all failed, and simultaneously at that? Come on, don't be foolish. That's impossible. Tower debris

Actually on Point 2 I was hasty, so I clarify. I believe my claim that all the basement columns failed simultaneously is true as is evidenced by the many videos, however my lack of detailed skyscraper construction knowledge allows a second possible cause for that simultaneity to come to mind (though I think it is unlikely). Either 1) the columns were detonated, or 2) the columns were coupled so strongly to each other that failure of some critical number of them induced failure of all. It's conceivable to me that some coupling would be desirable so that many intact columns could support the failure of a few of their neighbors...but like I said, I think that coupling sufficiently strong to support the entire building for hours then instantly cause building-wide failure is unlikely, particularly with the damage being concentrated on only one side of the building.
