Re: 9/11 : Flight 175

I have never seen a commercial liner with external fuel pods, for the sole reason commercial jets don't need to be adaptable and fly very long distances like military jets.

Military jets have external fuel pods so they can drop them when they are empty or not use them at all unless needed to decrease their weight, increase their agility etc.

Commercial jets can't just drop their fuel pods, and they don't need them because they are built for the distance they fly.

That's 100% correct

Re: 9/11 : Flight 175

Never heard of Lipton hmm

You obviously have a problem with people sharing views on political matters. If all you want to do is swallow the governments load then go right ahead but dont take the piss.

I dont know what you were tryin to pull by spamming the forum with the 9/11 story threads but do it again and your gone.


No, im not a "forum bully" . Note that I help admin these forums .... therefore , if i see something i dont like I'll act on it. 1 thing I dont like is some1 taking the piss then acting like a victim..

As far as im concerned thats the end of the matter. There will be no 9/11 subforum (even tho you were mostly joking) . The thing is if you put the loss of Habeus Corpus in the same boat as "9/11 consipracy theories" then I dont know what to say to you.  The only 9/11 connected posts iv made was asking people what THEY thought about the WTC7 falling , in which I showed a vid and made NO theory myself.... and this thread ..which I have offered no theory.  The Habeus Corpus topic wandered onto 9/11 since it is supposedly the reason for the loss of US freedoms , Iraq and Afganistan( although we were already planning to go to Afganistan before 9/11 happened...funny eh?).

Rant over.

Re: 9/11 : Flight 175

I try and be careful and not label anyone with a careless 'tinfoil hat conspiracy theory' remark because the US government has been quite adept at undermining and subverting world politics for the last century and a half.  It just gets old after a while.

The fact that you used a colon in your thread title signifies that there's already too many threads on this already.  If I started 4 or more off-topic forum threads regarding the evils of trans-fats and how enough of them will kill you, or the need for increasing Western economic aid to Africa and AIDS funds to prevent thousands of deaths, you'd probably be telling me to STFU eventually as well, Bandu smile

Re: 9/11 : Flight 175

I was probably abit harsh , so for that I apogise.

However, the forum had no bearing on what I named this thread.. I guess I just named it that to be more clear.

General 9/11 threads usually have a habit of falling into chaos. Splitting it up into many parts lessens that......for the most part.


I will probably make more 9/11 threads ......but Id like to point out I dont go along with every aspect of so called conspiracy theories. For example , I will not talk about what hit the Pentagon ....cos no-one knows ...

Re: 9/11 : Flight 175

obviously to show that america is under attack and that no one is safe. it didnt do alot of damage to the pentagon and we heard nothing about the pentagon either did we. it all centered around the towers. think about it
