Where does it say it was empty and undergoing renovation? According to this page it had been recently renovated, the section hit housed some occupied as well as unoccupied offices. There's a list of those killed here.
The flight path doesn't strike me as being unusual either. From what I can see the plane came in from the west, did a loop round, likely explained by the amateur pilots lack of ability and experience, and hit in the south west. It's not like they looped right round and hit the east side, but even if they did you could still put that down to a lack of skill from the pilots.
Anyway, you'd think the NWO would want to hit an old part of the building so they didn't have to rebuild something that had just been decorated.

Ok, recently renovated? Maybe, I'll check on that...
There are some doubts as well about the flght path, but that I fear we are straying too far from the topic as it is. |

| Recently renovated? Was a big target symbol painted on the outside wall at the same time by any chance? |

Even if the building was empty, though, I wouldn't put it down to anything more than dumb luck. The conspirators were ruthless enough to bring down several huge buildings in New York and kill thousands, but were careful to only do a little bit of damage to the Pentagon? If that were the case why even bother attacking it at all?
Anyway, the truthers crying about how it was a missile doesn't make sense on any level. Eyewitnesses saw a plane fly overheard, ATC were tracking the aircraft until its transponder was disabled, and what did those dastardly conspirators do with an entire aircraft and its plane full of passengers? Not to mention the wreckage and bodies which looked suspiciously like the aftermath of a commercial airliner crash. |

Destroy evidence of something? Elaborate way of going about it, admittedly.
I'm sure I read something somewhere about one of the minor WTC buildings that collapsed housing records or accounts of something that were conveniently lost.
Can't remember what though. May be misremembered conspiracy lies though as I also remember hearing/reading something about contractors from a company owned by Jeb Bush, or connected to him, being in the WTC doing maintenance work or something in the weeks before 9-11. The implication being they were planting the explosives.
A little Google on that issue didn't seemingly throw up any evidence of what I remembered hearing. |

It's a ridiculous way of going about it. If that's why it happened then we are dealing with a real threat: an all-powerful group of conspirators who are unable to purchase and use paper shredders and hard disk wiping tools.

That would be a really silly way to destroy some records, and I'd find it hard to believe that if these documents were that vital there wouldn't be backups. Would love to hear the truthers explain what they think was on these supposed records.

The largest building ever demolished was 612 feet. The WTC towers were over 1,300 feet tall. Demolitions aren't something you can do over a weekend, they take a lot of planning. The workers would have been noticed, the massive amount of explosives required would have been noticed.
The story of explosives being planted during maintenance work stems from workers in the towers saying they had been evacuated several times in the weeks before for fire drills. The idea that anyone could plan a demolition of that size in between fire drills and without anyone noticing is preposterous. There's also the fact of there being no signs of explosives and of the buildings collapsing from the point the planes hit, not from the bottom as is done in controlled demolitions.
As for the Jeb Bush thing, you may be thinking of Marvin Bush. He was on the board of directors for a company which handled some security for the buildings, but he left the company in 2000. |

Ah yeh, a quick Google shows that to be the case. I knew I had heard somewhere something about a Bush being involved.
Not committing one way or another on this issue, I'm just recalling stuff I remember hearing about. But just because M Bush wasn't directly connected to the company on the actual day surely isn't enough to imply no connection? If his involvement had been purely a front to get access to the building then he would not need to still be with them once the explosives or whatever had been installed.
Regarding WTC7 and the controlled explosion theory. Surely if the Govment wanted to bring that one down all they would need to do would be to release a statement saying the building was unsafe and they needed to carry out a controlled explosion to bring it down, rather than just doing it anyway and leaving themselves open to a conspiracy? |

No you see they were stealth bombs made in the same lab that produced the holograms for disguising the missiles. |

Tackled extensively here.
Basically, there's no great mystery behind it. Truthers like to bring it up because they think it proves that explosives or thermite were used, as though that somehow negates the fact that there was no evidence of an explosion or bombs. |

Let's see:
It couldn't have been explosives because there were no "bangs" and it couldn't have been some form of thermite, because that's not really explosives.
Also:
The apparent pools of molten metal were actually caused by spontaneous combustion.
I can't say that I find those totally convincing counter arguments. |

Uh...what do you find hard to believe about that? Bombs tend to make a big boom, and thermite couldn't have been used not because it's not explosives, but because you'd need a ridiculously massive amount of it and nobody has yet to suggest a way in which you could use thermite to cut across steel beams.
And we've already covered this, whether you used explosives or some kind of mystery thermite, the amount needed would be massive and there would be no way they could hide it and plan a demolition job of that size in between fire drills like the truthers have suggested. It's completely ludicrous.

Okay, well suggest another argument then. Perhaps their reasoning for the pools of metal is wrong, but it wasn't bombs for the many reasons already discussed. Once again we're back to conspiracy theories that rely on imaginary technology and completely unrealistic plots. |
