I have no doubt that they will stop watching at some point. They never do watch in full. The debunking is "harsh" but not really in the sense of personal attacks. I've really taken a shot at pretty much everything inaccurate that is said.
For example "If you have ever started a wood fire you will know that smoking logs mean the fire is not burning correctly". I bring up the fact that there were no logs in the WTC as a bit of humour. But the important part is that the actual issues are still addressed in full. ![]() |

Thanks buddy
![]() Wait till you see the paper I'm writing. It's this but in the format of a website. About one A4 page of comments on every point they bring up. A few minor errors that are in the film have been fixed as well. You can check out the layout here: http://www.911mysteriesguide.com |

I'll be watching the stream while I'm at work today. As soon as I get home I'll work on getting the thing downloaded from bittorrent and seeding it...

What does "seeding it" mean?

Oki doki. Finished watching. Well, this is pretty good work.
It was a little bit too fast to translate on the fly and some debunking-messages were far to biased, but i like it. Also because the additional info at the end concerning the Al Qaida holograms. ![]() Great job, Guys. ![]() |

I've got a post at DU - it's being opened, but not a lot of comments yet.
Of course, we've just had a longtime poster banned over what I think is a misunderstanding...and there's all kinds of other stuff to wade through in the "dungeon", as we like to call our little corner of the DU server. |

Doc,
So far good work on "Screw 9/11 Mysteries" but I'm surprised you didn't reply to the film's claim about the North Tower burning for 3 hours overnight and not collapsing. I think by ignoring this you gave the film a bit of momentum. I just wanted to see why that wasn't replied to in the film. Anyways, keep up the good work. ![]() |

I'm less than 3 minutes in, and I like the presentation so far.
teeny little tiny nitpickery: at 2:28 our intrepid "demolition hobbyist" claims that during the course of his research, he "literally" did not sleep for a week. In my certainly non-expert understanding, such a period of complete sleep deprivation could reasonably be expected to lead to profound cognitive deficiencies, including paranoia, distorted visual and auditory perceptions, and full-blown hallucinations. Might this explain the basis for his conclusions? ![]() ETA: Ha ha, I should have waited an extra 30 seconds ~~~~~~ |

Question:
At about 23:57, where they're talking about an explosion just before the collapse--is that the video that was shown to have had its sound tampered with? http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...7824934#23m57s |

At the 6:25 mark, it shows a man being interviewed by Fox News, at least that's what it's made out to be. He says "...come out of nowhere and then just REAMED into the side of the Twin Tower, EXPLODING THROUGH the other side. And then I witnessed both towers collapse, one first, and then the second, mostly due to structural failure, because the fire was just too intense."
This is immediately after the narrator is trying to make the point that the official story was born right there that morning. I call "BS." I don't think this was an actual interview, but an actor paid by the film makers. |

I've watched until about the first half hour, great stuff The Doc! The wood logs comment was hilarious and I loved the "hunt the core" bit.
A couple of comments on the part I've seen (a lot of nitpicking, yes ![]() 1. I think you could have picked better (clearer) and more quotes for the "what professionals think happened on 9/11" segment. 2. You could have mentioned that the appearance of "Brad" is quite deceiving, as I understand from the video's website, "Brad" isn't the creator of 9/11 Mysteries, which it does kind of seem to imply (and tries to give credit to the movie because he's a "conservative Republican"). 3. When the woman first mentions the fire caused the steel building to give way, you could point out that it was the combined effect of the impact and fires that did that. 4. The "myth" the woman claims was developed wasn't just "fed by official sources" but also backed by countless scientists. 5. The 10 seconds complete collapse is of course complete BS, you could mention that right from the beginning. 6. The woman makes several references to the FEMA report but what about the NIST report? It seems like they never even heard of it. 7. She says "smaller models 767", but 767's are larger and heavier than 707's. You could also add that Robertson never envisioned the effects of the fuel on the fire (it's explained by Robertson himself later on but I think it's best to to point out everything as quickly as possible). 9. You claim the most important factor of the impact are size and speed, but is that so? I thought the most important factors were mass and speed. And the fuel makes up a large part of a plane's mass (at least that's what I understood from the Purdue Pentagon simulation). 10. With the De Martini segement you could again add that they never envisioned the effects of the fuel on the fire. 11. You claim engineers were surprised the buildings stood so long. But in the Bazant and Verdure paper they explicitly state the collapse was a big surprise to engineers. 12. When Barnett claims he had not seen a protected steel structure collapse, you could point out the protection of the WTC steel was blown off by the aircraft impact. Also of the examples it shows, the Parque Central in Caracas was a reinforced concrete structure of which two steel decks partially collapsed and I'm pretty sure World Trade Center 5 also endured partial collapses of the steel structure, due to the fires. You could also point out that the comparison to the 1975 World Trade Center fire is pretty awful. 13. You could point out immediatly that the pancake collapse theory presented in the PBS documentary is outdated. 14. You could have added examples of what burned in the towers. The kerosene (at first), wood furniture, carpet, office materials, computers, the aircraft contents (luggage, seats,...), etc... Spelling errors i noticed: 8:50 World Trade Centers |

I'm about one hour into it, and bloody good debunking so far.
One thing that bugs me the most is the original producers' insistence on using O Fortuna to lend it a certain gravitas. And then to use a children's choir rendition of it? Boo hiss. |

Ah. I've got it working on google video (thanks, Enigma), and downloading it as well because it's gonna take days to finish downloading.
I'm about 12 minutes in, watching the bit about smoke color. Very impressed so far. Keep it up, doc! |

Ok first I would like to address one thing:
In the WTC7 segment I am aware there is an error. This is regarding the "kink". Please note: "The exact location of Alex Jones' "crimp" is where the building was struck by falling debris" needs to be changed to:

It will be fixed in the guide. |
