9/11 Debate: Loose Change vs. Popular Mechanics pt. 4

September 11, 2001 - five years after the attacks many people are asking questions about what happened on that day in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. Websites, articles, books and documentaries have put forward a variety of alternate theories to the government's account of what happened. The most popular of these is a documentary called "Loose Change." Now, a book dealing with many of these theories has just been published by the magazine Popular Mechanics, it's called "Debunking 9/11 Myths: Why Conspiracy Theories Can't Stand Up to the Facts." In a Democracy Now! national broadcast exclusive, we host a debate between the filmmakers of Loose Change and the editors of Popular Mechanics on 9/11.

"I'm not calling anyone a liar, I am calling you a liar sir"

Jesus, the fuckwits can't even manage a sentence without contradicting themselves. Very tetchy too, I don't think I have ever seen a more peevish interviewee.

Dang, these truthers are getting TRASHED!!

[keggerous]

has anyone seen the southpark where cartman is acting like glen beck? its a perfect example of how truthers are. they hide their bullshit in these questions that are really just leads into wedging their conspiracy theories somewhere. much like religious ppl try to wedge their god into places by asking questions like "well then what caused the first life on earth?" unknowns dont make ur claims more reasonable, especially if thats all u got. the only way ill belive u is if u have evidence

[keggerous]

@mchri22 hope thats a joke .. .

@cain534

I don't think being a family member qualifies you for making completely off-the-wall accusation with no evidence to support your cause.

[mchri22]

People with ties lie

[mchri22]

If the govermenet has nothing to hide then why they hidding

[666or999]

The arguements the truthers make are just so bad but everytime they get called out they just bring something else up and ignore what was said.

[cain534]

LOSE CHANGE ISNT THE ONLY 1S ASKING THESE QUESTIONS SO STOP YOUR STUPID SHTT.EVEN THE FAMILIES ARE ASKING FOR A NEW INVESTIGATION.SOO WHET NOW,YOU IDIOTS CARE MORE THAN THE FAMILY MEMBERS?I THINK NOT.

@Xendrius Saying everything in the official account has been proven false is an absolute lie. If what you're saying is true it would have been headline news around the world and those responsible brought to justice. That hasn't happened. Why is that do you think? I'll give you a clue: the truth movement is bullshit. Now move on and get a life.

@terrymanning1 Sure there are some idiots out there who have wacko theories like ghost planes, cgi planes etc, that is irrelevant, the point is that every claim of the official story, the one you believe in, has been debunked with science, observation, testing, and from what we know of metallurgy, aviation. And no paid "experts" claims can change that.

Coming up with insane explanations is what these idiots call debunking, survivors on impact level but 80 floors down killed people?
