Nope I do not think that counts since it is not technically a strange coincidence since it happens every day.

I am confused. Surely coincidence requires that the coincidental events are unrelated.

The collapse of WTC1, 2, and 7 were events within a single particular event - that being a terrorist attack on the United States. Therefore they are related, and not coincidental.

Secondly, where is your evidence that these buildings collapsed due to fire? I understood that two were hit by airliners and the third was hit by the other two. From what I gather, this had something to do with the buildings collapsing.

BTW, what is a strange coincidence?

SBrown, I want to hear your analysis of what exactly constitutes a "coincidence".

Go.

No. Or rather, not exactly. In actuality, three steel frame buildings fell as a result of a series and combination of events and forces, among them being fire.

See? No "strange coincidence" at all.

Um...

NORAD was conduction ONE exercise, called Guardian, which they hold every year in Spring, and which tests their response to nuclear attack.

It doesn't really relate to 9/11...unless you think the Russians did it...

"Without childish frenzy mentality," yet you've posted approximately 40 times in the past few hours, spawning several new threads... containing such useful, intellectual gems as the above.

When you are given simple, concise answers to your leading "questions," you attack the answerer.

Irony, thy name is SBrown. Do us a favor and either grow up, or get out.

Well here's a big coincidence: 4 passenger jets were hijacked by terrorists and all of them ended up being destroyed in some way on the same day.

Here's a coincidence. On sept 11 2001, I went to work at a company named Jet Films. Am I in on the conspiracy?

ETA: the desk of the receptionist is a small replica of a wing.
