I came across the online movie Loose Change, which offers an 'alternative' viewpoint of 9/11. Say what you will about consipiracy theories, but this documentary poses some pressing questions. I remember watching the towers fall and thinking to myself, that looks like a controlled demolition. That's exactly one of the points this movie puts forth.

The things that I found most disturbing was the supposed coverup of information. Supposedly employees of a Sheraton hotel had surveillance video that showed what happened to the Pentagon, but this video was confiscated and the employees agreed to not say anything about it. That just seems crazy to me. Also the stock market activity with put options on American Airlines and Boeing, as well as the mortgage owner of the twin towers doing some suspicious contracts shortly before the downfall really boggles me. The film talks about the multiple explosions being heard and felt both before and after the planes hit the towers, and the transported gold from one of the towers.

Some of it is convincing, some of it crazy. It's a nicely made video though, and I'd recommend watching it and making your own conclusions. Personally, I can't believe that such a coverup would be successful. So many people would have to be in on the conspiracy. I find it hard to imagine that not one of those people would have a conscience.
