The USAF could not prevent the
attacks because transponders in the hijacked jets were turned off.
Explosives in the twin towers were "debunked" by Popular Mechanics (now there's a joke). The demolition of WTC 7 was also
"debunked" by the ever reliable Popular Mechanics. The rest of the
programme was dedicated to straw men. Was the Pentagon was hit by a plane?
Did Flight 93 crash in Pennysylvania or did it land elsewhere? Did 4000
Jews skip work in the WTC on 9/11? Were the attacks predicted in the pilot
of the "Lone Gunmen" TV show? Finally, the programme finished
with an irrelevant piece on pre-9/11 warnings which were missed.
The conclusion of the BBC: the evidence doesn't support conspiracy
theories.
Okay, let's take a look at a some facts which were
"overlooked" by the BBC.
Fact: The BBC stated there were no casualties when WTC 7
collapsed. This is flat out wrong. Master Special Officer Craig Miller of
the Secret Service died when the building came down. http://whatreallyhappened.com/silverstein_pullit.html
Fact: Eight minutes before the Pentagon crash Flight 77 was
tracked by radar as it closed to within 30 miles of Washington, therefore
the whereabouts of the plane was known, therefore it could have been
intercepted. http://whatreallyhappened.com/911stand.html
The
BBC briefly mentioned that Flight 77 hit a reinforced section of the
Pentagon. What they failed to mention is that reinforcements on this
section were completed on 9/11/2001 meaning this section of the building
was nearly deserted when the plane hit. http://whatreallyhappened.com/911_pentagon_renovations.html
Finally, why did the BBC report that WTC 7 had collapsed ~20
minutes before the event occurred?
"...more on the latest building collapse in New York
... we was talking a few minutes ago about the Salomon
Building [WTC 7] collapsing, well indeed it has. ... it
was because the building had been weakened during this
morning's attacks." [15.6

News reporters only repeat what they have been
told, and it is obvious that these reporters did not know what
WTC 7 looked like because it is the building burning in the
background of this live footage. Who told the reporters that
WTC 7 had collapsed? How did they have foreknowledge of the
collapse? Why was Google compelled to remove this video from their servers minutes
after it appeared? [More details]
Note time
stamp on this clip from BBC News. 21:54 London time is 16:54
(4:54 PM) East Coast time, 20 minutes BEFORE WTC-7 actually
collapsed.
Many "government huggers" have tried to dismiss the above
footage as being a live reporter in front of a green screen,
but there are two reasons why this is not the case. First, the
BBC camera zooms in on the scene, which is something not
possible with a green screen shot. Second, the woman BBC
reporter is not under a studio light but under the harsh
backlight seen in other live on-the-scene shots such as this
one from CNN.
The evidence doesn't support conspiracy theories?
Crap.
The evidence doesn't support the official version,
and that is why this programme focussed on trivial
issues.
