9.11 video

Just found an interesting video on the Internet about the 9/11 attacks. Their website is here.

They make a lot of questionable assumptions, especially at the beginning, and raise a lot of things that are not necessarily problems for people who know anything about statistics, probability, unexpected consequences of experiments and problems with the perceptions of eyewitnesses. It reminded me a lot of the "Bill Clinton killed Vince Foster" school of investigation that we saw so much of during the Clinton impeachment. But the Vince Foster murder freaks were able to raise a number of troubling questions about the investigation of that murder, though they came nowhere near making a case that Clinton was bumping off his supporters right and left (as the list of Clinton related "disappearances" claimed) much less giving Clinton a motive for all these supposedly suspicious deaths, even much, much less that he was bumping off nobodies while leaving his worst enemies untouched.

I'm not endorsing this video for many reasons, including the classic argument agaisnt conspiracy theories (i.e. the bigger they get the harder they are to keep secret), but I think it raises a number of questions that should be considered. I would also appreciate comments from anyone who has seen the video and can comment intelligently on it.
