Creative Speculation

(11,031 posts)... no high-explosive seismological signature, and no columns and beams cut with explosives in the rubble. Instead, what we get offered as "evidence" by "truthers" is imaginary physics.
With only a handful of perps and far, far less risk of things going wrong or getting caught, the alleged perps could have begun a campaign of car and truck bombings that would have accomplished the same presumed effects that you want to claim. In fact, creating the impression that it wasn't a one-time event would be even more effective. The only part of a "false flag" attack that needs to be a hoax is who gets blamed. The plausibility of the alleged perps instead concocting a controlled demolition hoax and bribing and/or intimidating structural mechanics experts into going along with the cover-up of a mass murder to aid BushCo is simply idiotic. I do believe that one aspect of the "truther" mentality is that most "truthers" never quite made the distinction between Hollywood movies and reality that rational people make when they mature beyond the 5th grade.
