"Us" would be the operative word. Do you have a different meaning for "us" when you are the one making the statement? It's odd you are the only one of "us" that figured it out but are also part of the group that couldn't.

Scuse me for not thinking any of us are all that special.

Oh the irony coming from the guy repeating the same rumor over and over...

What are you talking about? I never claimed anyone was special, or stupid for that matter (that was you). You claim that everyone capable of understanding and actually acknowledging this simple math must be a government agent or an obedient sheep.

Yankee451:

Answer this as it is the heart of this thread.

The basis for your belief that the planes could not do the seen damage to the buildings is based on your belief that you must have been told a lie by the government.

A simple yes or no will do.

If no, what is your basis for this belief?

What's wrong with it? Why don't you believe what people with the ability to explain it tell you?

Back to the original question.
