With as many mistakes as live news broadcasts makes, this is the best you can do for a conspiracy?
If the BBC knew, how many people would need to know?
February 28, 2007 at 8:37 AM #46479AnonymousGuestRight, if indeed your claim is true that they called it before it happened, why don’t we strike it up to some grand conspiracy and not just a simple technical error on the part of the BBC. And get this, I also hear that American forces really didn’t invade Iraq in 2003. In fact, we aren’t there right now either. My source? The former Iraqi information minister – he said so on TV in 2003 so it must be true.

So what you’re saying is that the BBC is as reliable a source of information as Saddam’s state-controlled media?
Ministry of Truth indeed…
Why would anyone mistakenly announce that a 47-story building has fallen down when it has not? It was barely damaged, buildings 3, 5 and 6 were in much worse shape (and they never collapsed either). Just look at the position of WTC7 in the site plan.
Also note that prior to the building’s collapse, the BBC is reporting not only that it collapsed but that it collapsed because it had been weakened by fire (although no skyscraper fire had ever previously resulted in a collapse). I guess there was no need to have an investigation after all, since they knew not only that it fell down but why it did before it even happened.
It’s obvious that the building was supposed to come down a little before 5pm but there was some kind of delay. The press releases went out on schedule but the demolition was 30 minutes late for some reason.
February 28, 2007 at 9:43 AM #46485bgatesParticipantborat, 4plex – if you are living in America, then you are supporting with your tax dollars a government which you believe to be responsible for murdering thousands of people. You combat this supposed monstrosity not by attempting to assassinate the people you hold responsible, or moving north or south across a border, but instead by posting anonymous comments on a housing forum.
How do you live with such cowardice?
February 28, 2007 at 9:49 AM #46486bgatesParticipantHow come all this conspiracy evidence only started to come out after 2001? The same conspiracy tried to destroy the WTC in 1993, after all.
February 28, 2007 at 9:52 AM #46487anxvarietyParticipantFebruary 28, 2007 at 9:54 AM #46489PDParticipantThere were all sorts of reports that were wrong that day. I kept a journal as things were happening. Journalists were reporting rumor furiously. Much of that reporting turned out to be wrong. That is what happens in such a crazy situation.
So the BBC was in on it to, huh? What tripe!

bgates, I don’t know what country you live in, but here in the USA, we effect political change through informed discussion, elections and the best system of representative government in the world (although it’s not perfect of course). We don’t do it through violence or by simply fleeing when we don’t like the way things are going. Comments like yours are bullying and, I must say, rather un-American!
February 28, 2007 at 10:21 AM #46493(former)FormerSanDieganParticipantIn a Scripps Howard poll in July 2006 36% of respondents said it is “very likely” or “somewhat likely” that federal officials either participated in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon or took no action to stop them.”
In comparison, the same Scripps poll found that 38% of Americans think the “federal government is withholding proof of the existence of intelligent life from others planets”

It must be true, I read it on the web from a reporter named Steven LaTulippe
http://www.lewrockwell.com/latulippe/latulippe12.htmlFebruary 28, 2007 at 10:54 AM #46499bgatesParticipantBorat, you think a government that would murder thousands to start a war is going to be voted out of office?
But if you want to stay in the country and work non-violently, I congratulate you. The good news is there is a principled way to do that: If you really believe your own claims about 9-11, don’t pay your taxes. Thoreau went to prison for not paying taxes due to his opposition to the Mexican War
Cast your whole vote, not a strip of paper merely, but your whole influence. A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority; it is not even a minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs by its whole weight. If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose. If a thousand men were not to pay their tax-bills this year, that would not be a violent and
bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood. This is, in fact, the definition of a peaceable revolution, if any such is possible.
Is the reason you don’t follow him into prison that you lack his principles, or that you don’t think murdering thousands is really all that bad, or because secretly you don’t believe your own ridiculous conspiracy fantasies?February 28, 2007 at 11:09 AM #46500BoratParticipantIs the reason you don’t follow him into prison that you lack his principles, or that you don’t think murdering thousands is really all that bad, or because secretly you don’t believe your own ridiculous conspiracy fantasies?
No bgates, the reason is simply that I don’t believe in breaking the law. Two wrongs don’t make a right. This is a nation of laws, not a nation of men. The principled way to effect political change in this country is to engage in informed debate and participate in elections.
You certainly seem motivated to get others to break the law — first an incitement to violence, now a proposal for tax revolt! If I didn’t know you better (I love your software by the way — Windows XP is awesome), I might suspect that you’re an agent provocateur.

I call this the ‘trailer park effect’.
February 28, 2007 at 11:58 AM #46508zkParticipantAmazing. So the media never make mistakes?
4plexowner, let me ask you something. What are you an expert on? Have you never seen a mistake in the media on that subject?
The media make mistakes all the time. In fact, we’re lucky if 70% of what they report is correct.
Just for fun, though, I’d like to hear a plausible explanation of how BBC would end up reporting such a thing before it happened other than a mistake.
