New York Police say they've found what could be the landing gear from one of the planes in between two buildings. linkAmazing that it was undiscovered all this time. |

I guess there are buildings so close together in NYC that airplane debris can get wedged in between them and remain undiscovered for 12 years. Bewildering, but apparently true.  |

Yeah, I saw a pic of the spot where it was found and it couldn't be more than 12-18 inches and I think that is being generous. There was a lot of trash in there as well as I could see something easily getting lost in it. |

The Conspiracy nuts are going to have a field day with this. I know I was posting against a large portion of conspiracy theorists but to label them as "nuts" completely undermines a lot of really valid questions about a lot of world events. |

I know I was posting against a large portion of conspiracy theorists but to label them as "nuts" completely undermines a lot of really valid questions about a lot of world events. Er, not really. Most conspiracy theorists do waste an awful lot of time and effort fighting windmills while blatantly ignoring real problems that are right under their noses. Worse, they frequently dismiss these problems as "that's what THEY want you to think", calling others sheeples for actually trying to solve them. |

I enjoy reading conspiracy theories, and some do indeed present valid questions, but a great deal of conspiracy theorists out there do come across as more than a little nuts. |

I'm sorry if I'm misreading you but as someone that could possibly be labeled a nut just because I have a few questions regarding a few things and I don't want my opinion or belief disregarded, despite how based in fact and logic they are just because of other people with some of the same ideas that I have are a bit off. |

Of course not. My motto in life is "question everything", but in my experience the most vocal conspiracy theorists tend to be the ones with the least credibility. |

The Conspiracy nuts are going to have a field day with this. They're probably saying "what landing gear?". |

The Conspiracy nuts are going to have a field day with this. They're probably saying "what landing gear?". ...what? That makes no sense seeing as at least 99% of the the people that question the official story of 9/11 believe that planes were in fact involved in New York. I see what you were getting at but no. Just no. |

I don't know, when the most-liked comments on 95 percent of the conspiracy theory videos on Youtube blame gays, Jews, blacks, Christians, and/or Americans for all the world's problems, then yeah, I think their community deserves a taste of its own xenophobic medicine. |

Once again, I ask that you not judge an entire community based on the actions of a sect. Just like with basically every other group there are different types of people that take different approaches to things. I don't see how giving them "a taste of their own medicine" is a good thing at all, in fact that only exacerbates the problems. Personally, I have quite a few questions regarding the events of 9/11 as well as several other world events and, to be honest, I take quite a large amount of offense to all conspiracy theorists being labeled as nuts just because, like with most groups, the loudest among us tend to be the dumbest. |

Asking questions about real-life events and doubting official explanations isn't being a conspiracy theorist, it's being a skeptic. You should study history if you don't already, since that's one of the pillars of the entire profession and its accompanying academia. You're skeptical of official explanations, and want plausible answers, and there's nothing wrong with that at all. But the conspiracy community is the sect. |

The questions are inspired by the possibility of a large-scale conspiracy. And yes, I study history quite a lot, hence my skepticism. It depends on what the scale of a "large-scale" conspiracy is. There's a limit of plausibility in terms of how big something can be, and there's plenty of small-scale sleight of hand for which strong evidence exists. But the "conspiracy theorist" term exists for those really broad ones, or the ones for which evidence is apocryphal at best, and for the people who subscribe to those. Conspiracies happen, but they're nowhere near elaborate as they're given credit. That's why the skeptic term is more appropriate for those within the bounds of rationality.  |
