Maybe the plane was staged too ;)

Who knows, maybe the government has a new explosive that doesn't make any noise when it explodes!

Anyone who knows ANYTHING about demolition knows that you need to place a lot of shaped charges at strategic points to get a building to collapse properly. Even a simple job gives off loud reports heard for miles as the charges go off. Imagine the charge needed to damage one of those massive girders surrounded by feet of steel reinforced high strength concrete. You would hear the charges going off in New Jersey...Southern New Jersey!! You would also see entire floors of windows blow out before the building even started to fall.

It is absolute lunacy to even consider that it could have been staged...unless you also believe man never set foot on the moon...and the earth is flat...and dinosaurs never existed. I can't believe any rational, not drunk, not high, person would even be willing to entertain the idea for more than a few seconds.

That building had a design that was very unusual compared to normal buildings. Has a building of that type and height ever come down before? If not then how can anyone know the complexities of how it would fall? Trying to apply the rules of a 10-20 story building to a 100+ story building doesn't seem valid to me. There was obviously something going on that engineers haven't figured out yet.
