Yes, it was most definitely an inside job. I'll go through a couple of discrepancies chronologically. A passenger airplane would fall apart if it'd fly at the height and speed that was presented. Even if the flight was technically possible, there's no way amateurs could perform such a flight. A lot of top pilots claim they wouldn't be able to fly a plane into a building like that. Fire has never caused a building to collapse before or after 9/11, and it would definitely not have that effect on the twin towers. They were built to withstand a plane impact. The buildings contained an inner structure that'd remain standing on its own even if the floors had collapsed. It clearly wasn't a normal collapse. Rather it was a controlled demolition with explosions inside the building going off to make it look like a collapse. The evidence of that is found in the numerous videos of the collapse: flashes of explosions are seen below the point where the collapse is taking place, there are molten beams, and debris is ejected horizontally. In fact, the debris ends up covering Manhattan. The weight of the rubble is only a fraction of the building that had been above it. That doesn't happen with a normal collapse. And the timing of the collapses are more consistent with controlled demolition. It only takes slightly longer.

There are lots of resources on all of this. Loose Change is a classic still worthy of recommendation. Richard Gage's presentations are great and focus purely on the science of the collapses. Christopher Bollyn should be especially of interest to this community, as he focuses on the connection with Israel.

A talk about 9/11 by David Chandler, purely focused on the physics. The 9/11 Masterpiece - Christopher Bollyn connects every dot.

The Japanese were doing suicide air attacks 56 years earlier. It was called "Kamikaze".

Many of them were successful and hit large aircraft carriers that were considered mobile and had AA guns firing back at them.

Static buildings are far easier targets to crash into than that.

These two situations were not even remotely comparable. The Japanese kamikazes were flying much smaller, much more maneuverable planes than the 9/11 hijackers. There is just no comparison at all to flying 3 ton prop fighters vs 120 ton commercial jetliners. Its the difference between driving a car vs driving a bus. The Japanese Zeros and Vals could turn on a dime and pull many positive and negative Gs.

No, they actually weren't. The kamikazes were hitting warships in a nose dive or straight in approach, in a very lightweight, very maneuverable aircraft. The 9/11 hijackers were flying commercial jetliners (which are about as maneuverable as an 18 wheeler on ice) into skycrapers while flying at enormously high speeds.

They had plenty of time to prepare. The planes took off from the airport, got hijacked mid flight, they changed direction until the buildings were in their line of sight, and then they accelerated towards them.

Amateur video confirms this. The second plane was still in control of the hijackers as they tilted the aircraft so it wouldn't miss.

Victims inside the airplane also reported that the hijackers were making jerky erratic movements right up until they crashed (via phonecalls).

It's getting very bad on the plane. Passengers are throwing up and getting sick. The plane is making jerky movements. I don't think the pilot is flying the plane. I think we are going down. I think they intend to go to Chicago or someplace and fly into a building. Don't worry, Dad. If it happens, it'll be very fast ... Oh my God ... oh my God, oh my God

By the way, saying a commercial jet is not maneuverable, how do you think they get on the landing strip when they're so high off the ground?
