Where does Bin Laden / Al Qaeda fit into Truther Theories?

Believe it or not this is a serious, no snark question that I want to advance to the Truthers. Something occurred to me in another thread and I thought it would actually make a, no B.S, honest question.

Where does Bin Laden and other senior members of Al Qaeda that have admitted being responsible or at least involved in the events of 9/11 fit into your... well le me be gracious here and just call them "Alternative theories."

Was OBL/AQ involved in 9/11 at all? Where they plants, patsies, fall guys? Are they delusional nutcases that took credit for something they didn't do? Doctored footage?

Seriously, no snark... what do you think the deal is?

From what I can gather after arguing with truthers is OBL/AQ is a fabrication by the CIA. Plants, fall guys, there to 'fake' global terror threats so that nwo can fear munger the world into control.

Most 9/11 Truthers include whole-hog the story of Bin Laden and the hijackers. What they do is add things to the Bin Laden story to "make it work", because
airplane crashes do not cause steel framed buildings to explode into dust.

Often 9/11 Truthers add "bombs in the building" or "mini-nukes" to make it work,
but in reality, they don't deny a single bit of the hijacker story.

Funny, when I ask Truthers (thermite theorists, mostly) which part of the
story on 9/11 they think is false, they start with the 9/11 Commission Report,
even though that isn't actually the story on 9/11.

The story on 9/11, the day of 9/11, is about hijackings and planes crashing
in various U.S. locations. The vast majority of 9/11 Truthers do not question
these basic aspects of the story, and so do not deny the involvement of
Bin Laden in any way. They just think the U.S. government was allied with
Bin Laden (and there's plenty of truth in that).

Most 9/11 Truthers think Bin Laden was a part of the 9/11 story, and
implicate the U.S. government along with him. I do not. I see no reason to
talk about Bin Laden because I see no good reason to legitimize the hijackings
themselves.

All other hijackings end in a plane being recovered somewhere, even if it
crashes to the ground. No planes have been recovered from any of the
9/11 sites where planes were supposed to have crashed.

And THIS is your reason for doubting the hijackings?? You do realize that plane parts were recovered from EVERY site where planes crashed, right?

Oh, you might have misunderstood me. What I meant to say was that
a plane was not recovered at any of the 9/11 sites. I'm not talking about
parts of a plane. I'm talking about the whole plane, in parts.

The topic was what most 9/11 Truthers think of the involvement of
Bin Laden. The answer is that most of them (not me) think that he
was very much involved.

He was very much involved, but not in the way you obviously think.

But, your thinking processes are a little suspect to me, especially since you apparently believe that in all of those crashes at such high speed and mass that there should actually be an attempt at reconstruction a plane from the resulting relatively few tiny parts that would be found, and that they would even attempt such an expensive and time-consuming process when the reason the planes crashed was never in doubt. That's something you'd do to find out the reason a plane crashed.

We know how they crashed

I can't claim expertise in airplane crashes. I'm making the simple
point that other airplane crashes involve reconstruction of the
plane, and this wasn't seen for any of these supposed plane
crashes on 9/11.

You aren't claiming that these reconstructions actually happened,
and that I just haven't seen the evidence. You're agreeing with me
that they did not happen, and offering an explanation as to why.

But it doesn't jibe with me. All other hijackings end up with an
airplane at the end of the hijackings. This is a fact. You can't name
any other hijacking where the plane landed in a known place that
they didn't recover a plane.

My point is that most 9/11 Truthers do not deny one tiny bit of the Bin Laden story.

What they do instead is add stuff to the story to try and make it work.
They say that Bin Laden was in cahoots with the U.S., and this appears
to be true. They claim this as evidence that the U.S. attacked itself
on 9/11, a claim I find instinctively repellent but also unsupported by
the lack of real evidence of any hijackings or airplane crashes.

Yes, it is orthogonal thinking. It's fleshing out the bits of correct stuff
that comes from different directions, and identifying stuff that isn't right.

It makes me laugh, really, to ask most Truthers which part of the official
story of 9/11 that they think is false, because they can't name one.
They believe the entire official story front to back and just add extra
things onto it: conspiracy theories.

Yes, I am quite serious. Can you name a single airplane hijacking
where the location of the landing was known where a whole
airplane wasn't recovered in bits and pieces or in its entirety?

I'm betting you can't, but I'd consider changing my theory
if you could.

On 911 the airplane crashes were on purpose, flown into building on purpose. I am a trained aircraft accident investigator, and we reconstruct the aircraft to figure out what happen to the aircraft. On 911 we were told by crew the planes were taken by terrorists - they flew good aircraft, functioning aircraft into buildings. We reconstruct to find out what caused the crash, we know what caused the crash on 911.

They did recover plane parts at all sites! You should try doing research before spreading insane lies. RADAR shows exactly where each plane impacted; aircraft investigators pull the RADAR data and use the RADAR data as evidence. RADAR shows on 911 each planes path from takeoff to impact.

You can't stop making up silly doubts. Your argument does not make sense.

Your admitted lack of expertise is no excuse.

Landed? LANDED? Are you for real? Stundie.

We ended up with aircraft at the end of each hyjacking on 911!

If it doesnt jibe with you then you must surely have something to show that can help change at least one persons perspective of what happened. Give it a go. A like for like incident perhaps. Maybe you have some photos or videos of some aircraft recovered after slamming into buildings that collapsed engulfing the remains of aircraft or how about some video/photos of the aircraft that nosedived into a swamp.

Instinct tells me that you will compare apples & oranges and photos of the remains from something like the Lockerbie aircraft.

Try again.

She did once tell us a story about a plane that crashed into the Empire State Building and then all the ''passengers''( she was unaware that it was an Air Force plane) caught the lift to the ground floor. The crew all died in the crash in the real world. This is what passes for research in her world.

Accident reconstruction is done to figure out what happened. No need to do it on 9/11. We know what happened to the planes. Not only that, but at least in the case of NYC, most of the plane probably melted in the fires.

Why do you think this worked so well for the hijackers?

Wrong, reconstruction only happens when there is a question on why the plane crashed. Mechanical issue. If it is pilot error no need, on 9/11 it was pilot deliberate action.

This ^^. Although I don't have any hands on experience, I done three levels of Air *Safety Investigation for my Bachelor of Aviation and am familiar with their practices and procedures, especially the NTSB (because most of the practices of TAIC come from the states). I have been telling truthers for years this very point, yet they still don't seem to let go of the idea that should have rebuilt the aircraft in its entirety and shown the world. I've also heard them claim they should have recorded parts numbers from the engines etc and matched them to see if they belonged to the aircraft.. what a stupid ******* idea.

*Safety = Crash, but for political correctness sake, my university called it Safety.

Well, DUH, yeah, BEFORE 9/11 hijacking ended with the plane being flown to a location and demand being made, but on 9/11 they were flown into buildings at high speed, 450 mph.

In the 70s a air Israel jet was hijacked and then blown up after the captives were let off.

Fact is the aircraft were found as we're ALL the passengers by their DNA.

It jibes with everyone who is not prone to conspiracy theorists thinking.

Mind you this plane was going well 100 mph when it crashed, not 450 mph like on 9/11.

They believe the entire official story front to back and just add extra
things onto it: conspiracy theories.
Funny, but the few truthers I have been able to find in the wild find people who think the towers were turned to dust funny. They see how silly that idea is.

So you have never heard of the Dawson's Fields hijacking?

IIRC it wasn't that he forgot to lower the flaps, but that he forgot to push back in the circuit breaker which would have lowered the flaps.

The aircraft had a fault whereby an audible warning would sound while the aircraft was on the ground. Pilots soon figured if they pulled the circuit breaker controlling the flaps, the alarm wouldn't be triggered. The pilot not only forgot the put this back in, but because it was out, the stall alarm sounded different to what it would normally sound, and so when it went off, the pilot did not recognise it was the stall warning.

I'm pretty sure that's the flight anyway

The simple reason as to why they didn't assemble the 911 aircraft parts is that 911 wasn't an accident.
The Accident Inspectors know exactly what, where, when and how the aircraft crashed.
Any such remains would probably be held as evidence by Law Enforcement for any murder trials

Well, you know, there's just no reasoning with debunkers!

(Often I wonder exactly what is going through the minds of people who slip away from this sort of discussion. I'm guessing that often, it isn't much more than what I just said.)

This a great example of a thread that where the responders are totally off topic and no one, not even the thread's owner cares.

The 'atta boy' club strikes again.

WTC DUST,

Do you think they recovered all the plane parts here?

Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness?

I don't know. Maybe not.

I agree that the thread has been off topic pretty much since people started responding to the last paragraph of WTC Dust's first post. I wonder how (and whether) the thread would have developed if that hadn't happened.
