You have to be pretty hardcore to go to those lengths with R/C planes.

There was a good documentary last night talking about the "airfuel doesn't'#t burn steel beams" conspiracy theories.

It doesn't.

But aluminium does. It melts much quicker than steel. Molten aluminium is 3 times more explosive than TNT when it comes into contact with water vapour.

They reckon that the aluminium from the aircraft melted then exploded which in turn caused the damage to the structures which say them fail.

You know, the 9/11 conspiracy theorists really do piss me off.

You take an aircraft weighing hundreds of tons, fill it full of fuel (and people), and fly it into a building at around 400 knots, you don't need to be Werner Von Braun to figure out that some serious sh!t is going to go down.

But they're conspiracy theorists, and as such, can always be counted on manipulating 'facts' to reach a pre-ordained conclusion.

I still suspect parts of the US Govt knew far more before the attacks actually happened than they will ever admit too.

It depends to what extent you mean. It's not like The WTC hadn't been bombed before, and Bin Laden openly/publicly declared war on the US in the mid-'90s.
So yes, it stands to reason that they knew about the guy. But specific knowledge of the 9/11 attacks & their exact nature....no, I very much doubt that.

Have a look at “The New Jackals” by Simon Reeve, this book was researched, written and printed years before 9/11 and predicted another larger attack on the WTC and the rise and rise of another level of terrorism. I was listening to an interview with the author this morning on the radio, fwiw his phone didn’t stop ringing for 18months after that day.

Yeah...Tom Clancy did the same thing in one of his novels....airplane being flown into The Capitol Building & destroying the seat of govt., the President, etc.

Is this really that far removed from WW2 Kamikaze fanatics sacrificing themselves for a "higher cause"??

I like that, very odd, but good Britishness to it. Americans wouldn't be able to pull it off, kinda like the office!

The "new one" I guess??

Godzilla is battling some humongous bat-looking creature carrying radioactive eggs (!!??).

It figures that after millions of years in cryo-stasis, two giant monsters would show up at the same time, in the same place.
