9/11 - Inside Job?

[khazim]

The Conspiracy on the part of the government, IMO, is one of covering up just how unprepared we were for this sort of thing.

Before 9/11 a plane hijacking meant the plane was going to land somewhere, have demands, and then negotiations for the release of the passengers. "Poor Man's Guided Missile" never entered into the equation.

The Twin Towers were of a unique construction to allow for large open areas of office space. Unlike conventional steel girder construction where the building without it's four exterior walls is as strong as with them, The World trade Center's main vertical support ran around the outside of the building; right where large planes impacted them, destroying those columns, weakening the overall building structure. Once the fires maintained after the initial fuel explosion, it was only a matter of time.

If you want to blame anybody for 9/11, blame Tom Clancy. The concept of slamming a commercial jet liner into a large building was used and explored in one of his Jack Ryan books a full 7 years prior to 9/11. I wonder where the idea to actually pursue this came from?
