Assignment 8: Part 2

Passage - "The group believes little of the government's official version of events, and says the 'smoking gun' is the collapse of World Trade Center 7. The group also says the collapse is scientifically unexplainable."

Summary - A group of professors believe that the attacks on 9/11 were an "inside job" and that we (Americans) were lied to by our government. They believe little of the government's official version of events, and say the "smoking gun" was the collapse of World Trade Center 7, the 47-story building next to the twin towers that buckled under at about 5 p.m. on Sept. 11. The group said the collapse is scientifically unexplainable, and they claim to have evidence that the building was imploded intentionally, as were the twin towers. 

Interpretation - I think that they have strong theories but that's exactly it, they only have theories. They can be proven right and/or wrong but that seems unlikely from the lack of evidence the government has released and will ever release. The only information that is relevant is the Commission Report on 9/11 and even that leaves out much information that is key to determining what really happened. The belief of conspiracies are seen to the fullest with this passage because we have professionals in their respective field accusing our own government of being responsible for the worst event in the United States history.
