You should watch the pilot episode of the X-Files spin-off series The Lone Gunmen. TaskmasterJack Send a noteboard - 20/09/2011 08:19:15 PM
The boys are tasked with stopping what they believe is a bomb aboard a large passenger jet. They're under the impression that the government is going to kill everyone on board in a faked terrorist bombing that will ultimately increase defense spending. Once they board the plane they realize there is no bomb, there are no terrorists aboard and they're on a pre-programmed collision course with the World Trade Center. They also come to the realization that a large jet full of fuel is pretty much its own bomb.

The episode aired March 2001, six months before 9/11.

We really need to have Logic as a course in high schools. Tom - 20/09/2011 06:50:36 AM 1212 Views
Logic classes would be good in schools. Timthetrolloc - 20/09/2011 10:23:56 AM 762 Views
Ugh. Ghavrel - 20/09/2011 11:30:59 AM 749 Views
Re: Ugh. Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:03:31 AM 708 Views
Something tells me that no matter who answered your questions you wouldn't believe anyway. everynametaken - 21/09/2011 02:16:52 AM 726 Views
this is a controlled demolition Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:20:09 AM 829 Views
That is an incredibly stupid argument. Tom - 21/09/2011 01:12:38 AM 737 Views
I've seen controlled demolitions in person. They happen in the opposite order of the WTC collapses. Ghavrel - 21/09/2011 03:54:35 AM 756 Views
Asking questions is never wrong. ironclad - 20/09/2011 12:22:22 PM 676 Views
Re: Asking questions is never wrong. Timthetrolloc - 20/09/2011 11:57:04 PM 824 Views
Agreed Camilla - 20/09/2011 01:09:40 PM 704 Views
I've long advocated this for the reasons Tom states as well as others. Joel - 21/09/2011 06:49:28 AM 662 Views
I don't know if the Internet is degrading skills, or just giving stupid people a voice beetnemesis - 20/09/2011 02:33:24 PM 774 Views
There is compelling evidence that 9/11 was not what it seemed Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:06:58 PM 791 Views
No, there is not. Tom - 20/09/2011 03:19:43 PM 869 Views
Well, the circumstances were odd at least Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:26:40 PM 748 Views
As far as conspiracies go ... Nate - 20/09/2011 03:36:35 PM 810 Views
what would be the motive for the US doing something that stupid? random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:40:31 PM 670 Views
I'm not sure you got my gist. Nate - 20/09/2011 04:46:28 PM 674 Views
I don't think there is any evidience that Bush wanted to attack Iraq before 9-11 random thoughts - 20/09/2011 05:21:09 PM 726 Views
Um. Well, sure, that would be true. If you ignored all the evidence. Nate - 20/09/2011 05:45:23 PM 780 Views
Well if you had argued that some Bush advisers wanted to attack Iraq I would have agreed random thoughts - 20/09/2011 06:35:07 PM 764 Views
But that's what I DID argue. Nate - 20/09/2011 06:47:17 PM 752 Views
sorry but you need to be more precise in your terms random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:37:36 PM 747 Views
I've always seen them as separate. Nate - 21/09/2011 03:33:14 PM 599 Views
and that is why I decided to drop it random thoughts - 21/09/2011 04:07:02 PM 756 Views
Heh. Nate - 21/09/2011 04:15:34 PM 710 Views
And the explicit statement of a Bush Cabinet member. Joel - 21/09/2011 06:59:47 AM 841 Views
I'm still annoyed. Nate - 21/09/2011 01:58:38 PM 655 Views
I stopped responfding when suddenly realized I didn't want to be in a Bush Iraq war debate random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:53:29 PM 649 Views
Admitting error is a sign of weakness; Don Draper said so. Joel - 21/09/2011 05:37:31 PM 684 Views
and I pointed that it was was just continuin gthe Clinton policy random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:30:13 PM 725 Views
Even if that were true, it would still be flip flopping on a central Bush platform plank. Joel - 21/09/2011 05:45:10 PM 760 Views
In addition: Nate - 20/09/2011 05:57:33 PM 764 Views
sorry but that is nothing more than a simple statement of fact random thoughts - 20/09/2011 06:40:51 PM 798 Views
This is very frustrating. Nate - 20/09/2011 07:05:48 PM 750 Views
For the war on terror? Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:49:12 PM 772 Views
And what was the war on terror supposed to accomplish? random thoughts - 20/09/2011 05:12:11 PM 725 Views
That contradicts the evidence. Tom - 20/09/2011 06:15:48 PM 745 Views
Excuse me? Macharius - 20/09/2011 08:22:21 PM 776 Views
Huh? Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 08:57:14 PM 766 Views
the problem with any other theory is the make no sense random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:36:02 PM 721 Views
Contemplate this.... Jeordam - 20/09/2011 04:27:52 PM 738 Views
You just did not go Star Trek on me Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:44:28 PM 734 Views
And how did you know... Jeordam - 20/09/2011 05:17:10 PM 834 Views
Re: And how did you know... Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:16:26 AM 826 Views
You should watch the pilot episode of the X-Files spin-off series The Lone Gunmen. TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2011 08:19:15 PM 790 Views
humans tend to be very bad at critical thinking random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:58:43 PM 679 Views
Won't help Praziquantel - 20/09/2011 08:15:36 PM 749 Views
Make 'em all take debate. nossy - 20/09/2011 08:23:37 PM 728 Views
Would madam like a cane? Elaine - 20/09/2011 09:19:53 PM 827 Views
Maybe a walker with tennis balls on the bottom. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2011 10:33:39 PM 352 Views
Do you think it would help? aerocontrols - 21/09/2011 12:09:42 AM 693 Views
Re: We really need to have Logic as a course in high schools. Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:10:08 AM 718 Views
Yeah, and the 100,000 pounds of sudden extra weight slammed into the towers at 400 mph...? Tom - 21/09/2011 01:05:18 AM 708 Views
Not actually the best example Isaac - 21/09/2011 01:56:03 AM 696 Views
what about the hole it cut into the frame of the building? random thoughts - 21/09/2011 03:23:07 AM 734 Views
Wouldn't make much difference Isaac - 21/09/2011 04:08:27 AM 714 Views
OK thanks *NM* random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:55:52 PM 385 Views
The fireproofing was scraped off the steel by the crash, so the beams melted. Aeryn - 21/09/2011 07:35:08 PM 917 Views
Re: Yeah, and the 100,000 pounds of sudden extra weight slammed into the towers at 400 mph...? Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 03:02:19 AM 762 Views
But how else would they fall down? Aeryn - 21/09/2011 07:42:27 PM 620 Views
You would force Euler on to the masses? Two Wongs - 21/09/2011 03:21:40 PM 785 Views
You could still argue. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:06:51 PM 644 Views
I didn't mean to imply that it is no fun to argue with a like-minded person Two Wongs - 21/09/2011 04:15:47 PM 676 Views
Eh, nobody uses pure logic all of the time anyway. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:43:51 PM 719 Views
Or they could just do more math. Cold, hard, beautiful math. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:01:05 PM 667 Views
I love geometry proofs. Nate - 21/09/2011 04:10:57 PM 782 Views
Me too <3 proofs! *NM* LaSombra - 21/09/2011 07:55:38 PM 384 Views
For pure enjoyment, here's a non math version. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:10:40 PM 678 Views
+1 *NM* Isaac - 21/09/2011 07:59:57 PM 299 Views
Now we are talking... Everyone can benefit from some basic Euclid. jh - 21/09/2011 08:32:17 PM 926 Views
Ha. Ha. Vivien - 21/09/2011 09:56:38 PM 724 Views
As a follower of Cthulhu, I strongly disagree. Tom - 21/09/2011 11:13:55 PM 879 Views
I really and truly appreciate your love of pure math for math's sake, but... Tom - 21/09/2011 11:10:03 PM 698 Views
Well, it requires a lot more science to really dispute things than HS can give someone Isaac - 21/09/2011 11:28:29 PM 723 Views
