The definitive 'why 9/11 conspiracies are rubbish' thread

This thread's gonna be really boring until the conspiracy theorists show up...

Yay! Now get to work!

1. In response to the basic logic that if the government was capable of getting a hold of the two planes for the WTC, they should have been able to get a hold of one for the Pentagon (instead of placing a bomb), my opponents claimed that it was a missile instead that was directed to the Pentagon. That's how they explain the smaller explosion and small hole (which they're too lazy to verify).

What I'm so curious about is that noone explains what happened to the plane that supposedly hit the pentagon. I mean, sure conspiracies are awesome, but why did they make a plane dissappear and then hit the pentagon with a missile?

I tried this track of argument before with both Xtra and Jay. You won't get an answer, and you won't find one on the web. I offered a free premium for anyone who could give me the answer. In fact, Hecter came up with the best one (yet still untenable) in that it may have been too hard to accurately hit the Pentagon without doing much damage, and so a missile would be more accurate.

Maybe they have already been rounded up and locked in FEMA camps. Chance would be a fine thing...

It appears that your odd notions about 911 have been torn apart once again...

Yeah...that was the one subject we co-operated on...good times back woth xtra, who kept saying he'd explained and cf.ed us to ridiculous five part youtube debates.
You know Hecter's argument, if it was the "one of a kind equipment etc in Pentagon" is trash since the plane crashed into a wing of the Pentagon which was being renovated and hence had no stuff in it.
