But many seem to just stop there.
They've made up their mind.
They don't take the questioning any further.
They've picked their side and they've identified (very vaguely) a villain

But as LP suggests.....put another hat on and argue the opposite.

Again... Who, How Many and Why

Put a couple of planes into  a building....there's your war.
Why bring the buildings down on top of New York's finest?
It cant be to hide evidence because any investigators would no doubt have to be complicit for the plot to work.
And with that many people killed some of  the plotters would no doubt have had friends and relatives amongst the dead.

Who's idea?...the President's, the military.
How do you go from.... "I've got an idea how to start a war" to executing 9/11?
How do you gather people to your cause.
You would have to be a super judge of character to get that right because one wrong choice and you're sunk.
Somewhere along the way someone who's drawn into it with a bit of a conscience is bound to say "whoa"

In the twenty years since (as far as I know) they've been no 'deathbed confessions'(Edit- apparently there was one a Malcolm Howard.)...there's been no "I can't live with what I've done" suicides.
Even if your small part was something you didn't know you were doing at the time the after-guilt would be enough to drive you a little crazy.

And one can only imagine the damage to the country's stability and political structure if it were found to be true...not to mention the fate of those involved.

Even if some of the physics raise questions the human side of things (in terms of an American involvement) just doesn't make any sense.

Quote:The problem can be solved by analyzing every round-trip route to determine the shortest one. However, as the number of destinations increases, the corresponding number of roundtrips surpasses the capabilities of even the fastest computers. With 10 destinations, there can be more than 300,000 roundtrip permutations and combinations. With 15 destinations, the number of possible routes could exceed 87 billion.

Often the engines will be found separately in their own depression often many meters away from the fuselage impact site, but the wings just never seem to make a significant dent even in something as soft as dirt. The only examples I can find is aircraft crashing into forest, at which time the wings seem to become giant brush cutters.

There must be a very good physical reason for this, perhaps the heaviest part of the wing is next the fuselage, so that a shearing impact causes them to fold up along the line of impact like a dart straightening it's flight through the air resistance on it's lightweight wingtip.

Maybe [member=827]capcom[/member]‍ can tell us where the maximum air resistance is on a wing, I won't be at all surprised to find it's out near the wingtips.
