The 9/11 attacks, however, are not funny at all and I consider denial of the reality of that day to be a tremendous slap in the face to the victims, to their friends and relatives, and to everyone who went beyond the call of duty and risked their own lives to save the lives of others.
I despise anyone who wants to rewrite such tragic history for their own stupid ends.
I feel that way about Holocaust Denialism. Makes me wish I had a cock with which to slap people in the face.

No, it is obvious when you deny the facts. I've read about it from both angles. I've watched documentaries about it from both angles. The only side that holds water is the side that sees what obviously happened. Hint: It's not the theorists' side.

here is an mit study against the previous one posted: http://www-math.mit.edu/~bazant/WTC/WTC-asce.pdf
they're both valid papers from reputable programs that give very valid hypothesis as to what happened.
I'll take the one from MIT any day of the week.
