Hell, even my dad who worked in Cerberus Pyrotechnics in the WTC said that a plane alone would not make it fall, which it shouldn't have.

And as said in Zeitgeist the pancake theory was clearly not what it was because the buildings fell at free fall speed and were completely obliterated.

Also in Zeitgeist there are photos and video of how professional demolitionists bring down buildings by cutting the center support columns diagonally, and oddly enough the exact same thing happened to the center columns in the WTC, not to mention the curious smoke bursting out the sides of the building.

Also even more evidence was that Thermite was found in the building, you can even see it in the videos, also the pools of molten steel at the bottom of the buildings? The only way to logically explain how the buildings came down is to say it was a controlled demolition, any other possibility is ludicrous.
