Calling Out Demolition Deniers

[Rayaan]

The "second" explosion was debunked.

That was not a detenation caused by explosives, but debris falling from the towers in the elevator shaft.

I disagree, because I don't think that the falling of debris would make such a loud and distinct sound of explosion, and because ...

"Even if the planes’ impacts and the fall of the debris from the Towers onto the ground could have generated seismic waves, their magnitude would have been insufficient to be recorded 34 km away and should have been very similar in the two cases to one another. As we have shown, they were not."

Rayaan, what are your motivations for this conspiracy nonsence?

Oh, just to demonstrate your

And does it have something to do with you being muslim?

I don't think so.

I used to believe that the 9/11 attacks were orchestrated by some Muslims extremists/terrorists as well (for the first 10 years after the 9/11) and that didn't really affect my perception of Muslims in general nor about Islam because I know for a fact that such an action is not supported by our religion at all. However, it was only after I started to research on this subject about 2 years ago that I began to realize that a lot of things about the 9/11 suggest that it was actually an inside job. I don't claim to know that for sure, but the conspiracy theory makes a lot more sense to me.

If I want to know something about a battle, I'll go ask a couple of privates what they saw from their foxhole. That should give me the whole picture, right?

Not necessarily the whole picture, but eyewitness accounts can be a very useful contribution to our knowledge of an event, especially when there are many reports and when the amount of similarity between the reports are much greater than the amount of contradictions between them. The 9/11 seems to be an example of this.

The thing is that you cannot look at the whole picture by just taking one particular fact or information that is presented to you. You have to gather information from many different sources, put all the pieces togother, and only then you may get close to seeing the whole picture. So first-hand accounts are an important part of such an investigative process; you cannot ignore them entirely.

You conveniently leave out the fact that there is no evidence for any demolition activity.

There are some evidence, in fact.

And, as has been demonstrated controlled demolitions begin at the bottom of a building...not the top.

They can start from the top to the bottom as well.

And witnesses did say that they heard and saw explosions at the basement of one of the towers. See the second video in my OP.

If there were actual demolition charges at the bottom of that building those guys would be dead.

They won't dead if they were far enough and somehow escaped within time. One can still see and hear explosions from a distance. It's not something impossible.
