My first post, and it's directed to the skeptics. :lol:

I've been bouncing around forums for about 3 years now, asking simply, does it seem even a bit odd that some of these things occured in such short order. I prefer to think of them as my "1-in-a-millions" list. People seem to be able to look at individual occurances and justify them, leading them to justify all of them occuring in a short time, without seeing anything wrong with the "official" explenation of the events.

Anyway. Here are some the one-in-a-millions, if you will.

1. Paper passport survives massive fireball, is ejected to street below where it is among all the other things that were blown from the building, and is found by a passer-by and turned in to the authorities before the towers even fell.

2. Fireball exploding into lobby of one of the towers. Although, from my understanding, there was no direct elevator shaft from the point of impact to the base of the building.

3. Again, a paper passport is found in Pennsylvania, even though there doesn't seem to be enough of the metal planne left to be seen.

4. Jumbo jet, flying at several hundred mph, skims the ground without hitting it.

5. Amongst the possible sidesof the Pentagon that could be hit, the side that had been recently reenforced and not fully repopulated, was the one. To my thinking, that created a symbolic national scar, while causing the least amount of real damage possible in that scenario.

There are others, but I haven't written them out for a while and these are the main ones I remember off the top. It seems that any one of these occurances could be explained. But with one on top of the other, in such a short period of time, it would almost seem impossible if presented even in a movie plot. Too many things that seem almost impossible on their own, added together, seems at least a bit odd to me.

You may be new(maybe not) but you must know, some people will make excuses for ANYTHING. The things that you bring up there are no exception.

On a side note, welcome! :)

Obviously, Im new here. But not to these issues.
I usually get asked to offer up my explenation for these things, or shown pictures of a Nasa shoulder patch that fell from the Challenger explosion. A few people have actually told me that they've flown jumbo jets under the St. Louis Arch on a computer game. That's one of my favorites. :lol:
But for the most part, that's the extent of the rebuttal. People just don't seem to see anything odd about the fact that these things all occured in such a short period of time.

I would think passports surviving airplane crashes would be bizarre, but it happens all the time, so I don't.

I can't answer this, as I'm not sure what you're talking about, but if you could provide a bit more, I will.

Just because it would have been convenient for the conspirators doesn't mean it's evidence of a conspiracy.

I don't know. I don't have an explanation for that. Like you truthers, I don't have all the answers, and I'm fine with admitting it. The only explanation that seems reasonable to me right now is simply dumb luck. I know that's not going to convince anyone of anything, but everything else If it weren't for the lamp poles, the generator, and especially the eyewitnesses, I would think something was up. But as it stands, I believe it was the plane.

I can understand the dumb luck approach to explaining it. But at some point after Iraq started, perhaps a year into it, all the pieces started making sense to me.
I'm a Libertarian minded, gun nut, abolish welfare, bootstraps kind of guy. So I'm not coming at this from a "liberal" perspective.

I simply see the fact that the hijackers passport was found, singed and ominous, before the towers even fell, as being too convenient, the ground skimming jumbo jet astounding, the other singed passport from Pennsylvania a "come on now" situation, and the newly reenforced side of the Pentagon a "well of course..."
epiphany.

Why are they one in a million? You need to look around more I think.

1. And this is too unexpected how?

2. WTC 2 was hit near/at a sky lobby which has an express elevator to the ground.

3. If you had bothered to look, there are many photos of lots of metal at the Shanksville crash site.

4. No jumbo jets were used in the 9-11 attacks. Flight 77 was in a very shallow high speed decent before it hit the Pentagon.

5. By the same people you suggest did not care that thousands of other people were killed at the WTC?
