The official story would be plausible enough if it wasn't for the conjunction of PNAC and the bizarre physics involved in the collapse of those buildings...
Bizarre physics? You mean how fire can't melt steel? Are people still on about that? This has been gone over countless times by people of all different biases, the physics stand, nothing bizarre about them. I think people are way too quick to want to believe conspiracy theories, that they are willing deactivate their brains and believe some really goofy stuff in order to do so.
If there really were gaping holes in the "official" story, that would be one thing, but as it is, it is all just a bunch of desperate grasping at ways to make a conspiracy plausible at the expense of reality. Unfortunately, there are enough documentaries out there promoting the conspiracies, and enough lazy people out there watching them who can't be bothered to do any fact checking regarding what they are being fed, that we end up with a lot of people 100% convinced. In the end, fantasy is way more interesting and exciting than reality, so we opt to take fantasy and run with it. Elvis isn't dead, he was abducted by aliens. An alien aircraft crashed in New Mexico and the government have it stored away, along with a frozen alien corps, at Area 51. Tupac is living it up on an island someplace. J.F.K. was killed by his own government. And 9/11 was orchestrated by the banks and George W. Bush (whose administration couldn't even conduct a war without seriously screwing it up). And my grandmother is an active undead ninja assassin.
