Since the September 11, 2001 attacks, a variety of conspiracy theories have emerged which contradict the mainstream account of those events. The theories typically include suggestions that individuals in (or associated with) the government of the United States knew of the impending attacks and refused to act on that knowledge, or that the attacks were a false flag operation carried out with the intention of stirring up the passions and buying the allegiance of the American people. Some conspiracy theorists have claimed that the collapse of the World Trade Center was the result of a controlled demolition. Some also contend that a commercial airliner did not crash into the Pentagon, and that United Airlines Flight 93 was shot down.
What are your thoughts on 9/11 and the conspiracy theories surrounding it

I don't think that George W. Bush ordered anybody to execute the sept. 11 massacre...i don't like him but i don't think he reaches that point of stupidity.
However, there are many questions that haven't been answered yet, and that makes people wonder. For example: official version said that a certain plane crashed against the pentagon. Any with a minimum common sense knows that what they told us is a lie. Its absolutely impossible that such a plane did what they claim to say that it did because the wingspan of that plane is bigger than the hole of the pentagon, and when a plane crashes obviously the hole is bigger and wider than it's wingspan. Also on the TV images it was impossible to find one single piece of a plane, something that is totally illogical.
This is just an example to say that i don't know what happened exactly and i won't say the USA Goverment is too blame because I don't have any evidence of it...but what i will say is that they have lied to us in many points, and who knows why.

I've heard the hole is too small argument before, but think about it this way the weakest part of a plane is the wings, they are designed to be lightweight and basically detachable, the first things to go in a plane crash are the wings, so naturally they would not make a difference on the size of the hole in the pentagon. The wings would have crumpled and been shattered by the crash, the building would barely be scratched by the impact of the wings.
As for the pieces of the plane there were lots of pieces of the plane including a piece with the airline logo clearly on it. You can also see pieces of the plane littered throughout the building as you look through the hole, but how much do you expect to be left intact after crashing into a building that was designed to survive a missile attack.

Apparently the Empire State building has been hit by at least one plane, IIRC there was more than once though. Surely the intelligence agencies knew something. Perhaps they did not know the exacts or hadn't recieved the exacts. They know what's going on all the time. Don't think they are flying blind.

I don't think are government planned the attacks, I think they might have known something was going to happen. As for flight 93, I do believe it was shot down. I think the passangers where probably trying to do something, but I feel that it was shot down before it could get to Washington. My husband, who was in the Navy, says he believes it was shot down also. He has said that since it happened.
