Oh no! PBS joins the "Truther" crowd.

"9/11: Explosive Evidence - Experts Speak Out" is getting public attention and casting doubt on the scientific validity of the U.S. government's investigation into the WTC tragedy. PBS is the first major network to air the program.

An earlier report on Digital Journal found that the claims made in the documentary can be verified by reading the government reports themselves. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the government agency charged with the investigation, did not provide any data -- no measurements or estimates -- of the mass or energy that would be required to bring down the buildings in about ten seconds. Normally a scientific report would present all the data that is used to construct a theory. The omission of data is a red flag to anyone familiar with scientific procedure. It appears that the investigators may have intentionally produced reports that the scientific community would reject.

Time to throw them under the bus.

[we can do it]

1. I liked the documentary

find the "official story" hard to believe

[upaloopa]

4. I find it hard to believe also.

In the time it took me to turn on the TV and get dressed for work a second plane hit one of the towers and both came down.
I just can't except that something other than a plane didn't start the collapse.

2. Unrec

What a wanker...

[Cheap_Trick]

6. Ooooh...too bad for you you can't unrec any more

What a douche...

[Mika]

3. Throw who under the bus? n/t

[Cheap_Trick]

8. PBS n/t

[MrSlayer]

5. Ask no questions. Accept the official story.

Do NOT think for yourself.

There are so many unanswered questions about what happened on that day. To dummy up and just believe their bullshit is as un-American as you can get.

[msongs]

7. trust bush and cheney to tell you the truth. yeah right nt

[Confusious]

9. Think for yourself!

Ignore science and engineering!

Unicorns that fart glitter and gallop over rainbows do exist!

10. Richard Gage is a well known huckster

He's not a scientist. He's equivalent to creationists that know they are lying.

Unlike right-wingers, liberals are supposed to be pro-science and pro-reality. I see that claim all of the time. Science proves that Richard Gage is full of shit.

[angstlessk]

12. Hate Gage as you want..but can you explain away the rest of the experts?

Join 23-year architect Richard Gage, AIA, in this feature length documentary with cutting-edge 9/11 evidence from more than 50 top experts in their fields – high-rise architects, structural engineers, physicists, chemical engineers, firefighters, metallurgists, explosives experts, controlled demolition technicians, and more.

[cpwm17]

18. They're like creationists

One can always find some fake expert with a fancy title to support any position - argument from authority.

This is Richard Gage's operation. He's a transparent liar.

[cleduc]

11. I took a really close look at this a number of years ago.

I reviewed it with my father. Both of us civil (structural) engineers. Both of us had investigated structural collapses before. I went through the official engineering reports that were more than 1,000 pages in analysis plus the data. I also investigated a number of the Truther conspiracy claims and debated them.

In my opinion, the science and evidence behind the official explanations of how the towers collapsed is very, very sound.

[angstlessk]

13. Have you read the latest that bush ignored even MORE warnings...or maybe you and your father are not

smarter then these folks:

Join 23-year architect Richard Gage, AIA, in this feature length documentary with cutting-edge 9/11 evidence from more than 50 top experts in their fields – high-rise architects, structural engineers, physicists, chemical engineers, firefighters, metallurgists, explosives experts, controlled demolition technicians, and more.

21. Now that is a seperate matter entirely

If it was an intelligence operation then why would the CIA be screaming at the administration to pay attention to Bin Ladin doing this? Are you telling me that this top secret intelligence operation completely left out CIA analysts, gatherers, and field agents?

Why would the CIA provide briefings and summaries that completely undercut the administrations Reichstag-like attempt to hang this all on Saddam Hussein?

Moreover, if the airplanes didn't take down the buildings and the CIA was wrong but did not agree with the administration then who did it? Why?

Really if you want to try to float the idea that the explanation for the planes destroying the towers is incomplete or is missing something then that is fine, but proper science would be attempting to look at the evidence and try to figure out how it could have happened. Just saying that it is impossible is not really science.

[angstlessk]

14. I think people who believe the original explination..is the same as

believing there were WMD in Iraq

[Dokkie]

15. they say 23% of republicans

believe Rmoney ordered the strike on Bin Laden. People will believe anything these days and that including the official 9/11 story

[angstlessk]

16. Yes..and they will go to any extreme to save their beliefs n/t

[cpwm17]

17. I believe what science and common sense say about what took down the towers

and I certainly didn't fall for the WMD nonsense. It was an obvious scam.

Richard Gage is also an obvious scammer.

[MrMickeysMom]

20. Fail...

"Richard Gage is what you wish him to be. To all others, I say, measure the evidence.

Sure am glad I can continue posting my feelings on this. I'm sure it will eventually be deported to the "Offbeat" section.

[MrMickeysMom]

19. Listen, there isn't a thing that was wrong with the PBS statement you posted...

You want to throw something the bus, but you don't know how, obviously.

I think I'll watch the video and remain the open minded person who is all too easily thrown under the bus by posters like you.

[01potato]

22. we'd all to nail this on "W"

He's NOT THAT SMART...sorry.

[greiner3]

23. "He's NOT THAT SMART...sorry."

He didn't have to be. An 'black hat' operation such as this did NOT happen in the 8 months post 41'a election. The Bay of Pigs was ordered, trained for and ready to go PRIOR to Kennedy's inaugeration. He DID give the go ahead, but with verifiable hesitation and trepidation. He was assured by the CIA leadership and other high ranking government types that this was THE way to go, there was NO way it would NOT work and the plan had a HUGE chance of success.

With that said, all 41 had to do was to give the go ahead; or was that Cheney!
