    Good, because if you actually watch footage and look at the impact zone, they didn’t fall so well, “almost as if they were controlled demolished”. It’s something you can only believe if you refuse to actually spend more than 5 seconds looking into it.

      I lived near a building that was built in the seventies and collapsed from fire. I was near when it happened. This was about a decade after 9/11 but it cured me of all lingering conspiracy thoughts in a second.
