Yes, it's outrageous to believe that fire and heat can weaken steel. Or that a building with a huge hole in it (WTC #7 - caused by the impact of one of the Twin Towers when it fell) and on fire itself for several hours, could collapse. Or maybe the preposterous belief that jet fuel and fire could travel down an elevator shaft. Oh yeah...and let's pretend that those planes were actually remote-controlled and that nobody really died in them. Or that many people in our government knew about this, or even planned it themselves without any word of it leaking to The New York Times. The fact that the Times didn't leak the information is a conspiracy in itself! People who believe these conspiracy theories are either really damn stupid, or they have a severe mental disorder and should seek help immediately. It is pathetic, it is disgraceful, and it shows everyone who is capable of rational thought just how ridiculously inept our education systems have become in this country. The fact that you would even consider being "swayed" into believing this garbage speaks volumes of your intellect.
