1. You're braver than I am.
I have so much trouble watching programs on 9/11. That's not to say that I want to don't remember it - just the opposite actually. September 11th is a difficult day for me and always will be. But, when I watched "9/11" by the Naudet brothers I became physically ill - it's still too much for me to watch. And, I'm not by nature a weak or nervous kind of person - yet I still can't do it. I'm glad they are showing that though - and I'm surprised at the lack of mention by other networks.

2. I saw "9/11" by the Naudet brothers too...
the footage still angers me....innocent people...many never had a chance to defend themselves..

The * administration empowered Al Queda by making them bigger than life...and then * had his own agenda didn't he? He didn't want to go after OBL the man that attacked America...he wanted to go after the man that threatened his daddy...and now we have lost 3700 and counting soldiars...

What a horrific mess..

4. It is horrific.
Between the two we've lost almost 7000 men, women, friends, wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters - that's insane!

3. The Day Physics Took A Vacation
Are they addressing how the buildings fell?

Do they show how the buildings could only have fallen from a series of controlled demolitions... probably not.

In the entire history of steel-framed buildings like the twin towers (which could were designed to easily withstand the impact of a 727), fires have never caused the collapse of a single building or the total collapse of any permanent steel structure.

Yet... oh never mind.

7. Utter complete crap. The buildings were designed to withstand HURRICANE winds, not planes hitting
them.

ALL buildings are designed that way.

NOT A SINGLE STRUCTURAL CALCULATION - EVER - IS MADE ON A HYPOTHETICAL PLAN HIT. NOT ONE!

That the buildings could and DID fall from the plane impact, WHICH TOOK OUT OVER A THIRD OF THE SUPPORTING STRUCTURE AT THE POINT OF IMIPACT is a FACT...

But since you are not an architect or structural engineer or even remotely connected to the professional engineering or construction industry, you KNOW better. Riiiiight...
