I do not believe that all the conspiracy theorist's really hate this administration so much that they would make up make up a conspiracy, trying to prove that the administration is corrupt. I do believe the answer is much sadder than that, I am saying that the whole twin towers tragedy was so shocking to Americans that we needed to believe there was a simple explanation behind it, when in fact it was a very complicated and log term lead up to the terrible event.
I these wonderful United States we as Americans have always known that we were born with certain and precious freedoms. These freedoms allowed us to question any and all situations our country was placed in and at some level throughout our history the majority of all undesirable situations were explained to us, the problem with the World trade centers attacks were that the administration could not or would not explain it immediately, this help suspicious to grow until it blossomed into a conspiracy.
Sometimes it is hard to make oneself believe in a conspiracy, but once it is believed then the majority of the thoughts afterward will most likely be unconsciously linked to it to bolster the process.
It is believed by most conspiracy theorists that the metal in the buildings melted and the wrecked airplanes could not generate enough heat to melt steel so therefore there must have been something else that caused them to fall.
I as a average American live in a very rural area found myself leaning to the conspiracy because I to needed to understand "why they fell" until I proved it for myself.
My wife and I went into my garage and placed two six by eight concrete blocks on their ends, then I placed each end of a three foot piece of I beam used for shoeing horses, on the blocks, I then place ONE block in the center of the I beam I took a simple propane torch (which burns at a much lower temperature than airplane fuel) and set it in the floor of the garage with the flame touching the I beam. In less than 30 minutes the bean started to bend down in the center from the weight of the concrete block and in forty six minutes it had lowered so much in the center that the ends of the I beam came off the support blocks bringing it all to the floor.
I simply urge any and all conspiracy theorists to carefully try this or at least watch it performed. The metal did not need to melt at all, it just simply had to weaken enough to let gravity take over.
I am also a concrete laborer and I do know that if concrete is not supported in some way it becomes very brittle, so if the metal in the walls of the trade centers was the support for all the levels above the impact then all that was needed to cause a collapse was to weaken the steel holding it up and let gravity do the rest.
