9/11 Series PART II Conspiracies

This is Part II of this series, looking back at the events of 9/11, and the consequences of that devestating day on America, and the World. As I mentioned yesterday, I have not really given it much deep thought for a very long time. I guess I did not want to revisit something so damaging to our country. I also look at the world around us and cannot help but be reminded of that old story For Want Of A Nail:
"You remember how it goes: ‘For want of a nail, a shoe was lost; for want of a shoe, a horse was lost; for want of a horse, a message was lost; for want of a message, a battle was lost, for want of a battle, a war was lost; for want of war, a kingdom was lost; and all for the loss of a nail.’
"Corny as that sounds, the fact of the matter is that history does hang on such little things as much as on any grand design. So do most large tragedies, which have their origins in tiny flaws unperceived at the time. What we, call a ‘catastrophe’ usually starts with a "nail".

If the Twin Towers did fall on their own, can it really be as simple as the fact that small design flaws, like their "just" being drywall on the stairwells, that "blew" off with the impact and basically sealed the doom of everyone above the crash line. It seems that the more you look at this event, the more questions need to be addressed, that were not adequately answered, by the "official" explanation. I chose the Wikipedia Official Version yesterday, as I found it provided not only a highly readable account, but also provided links and reference points for further inquiry. Therefore, Part II, is the Wikipedia Conspiracies complilation, as it covers pretty much all of the "conspiracies" that have been put forward over the years, and it also has links and reference points for anyone looking ever deeper into the mysteries, and "truth" of what happened on 9/11.

A variety of conspiracy theories question the mainstream account of the September 11, 2001 attacks against the United States. Many of these theories state that individuals in the government of the United States knew of the impending attacks and refused to act on that knowledge. Some go further and state that the attacks were a false flag operation carried out by high-level officials in the U.S. government. The suspected motives were to use the attacks as a pretext to justify overseas wars, to facilitate increased military spending, and to restrict domestic civil liberties.

Many of the theories have been voiced by members of the 9/11 Truth Movement[1], a name adopted by some organizations and individuals who question the mainstream account of the attacks. Some 9/11 Truth Movement members question the accuracy of the mainstream account of the attacks, and they are committed to further investigation while others claim that the collapse of the World Trade Center was the result of a controlled demolition and/or that United Airlines Flight 93 was shot down.[2] Some also contend that a commercial airliner did not crash into the Pentagon; this position is debated within the Truth Movement, many of whom believe that AA Flight 77 did crash there, but that it was allowed to do so via an effective stand down of the military.[3]

Published reports by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology rejected the controlled demolition hypothesis. Final scientific reports by structural engineers regarding the collapse of WTC 7 are still pending.[4][5] The community of civil engineers generally accepts the mainstream account that the impacts of jets at high speeds in combination with subsequent fires, rather than controlled demolition, led to the collapse of the Twin Towers.[6]
