One thing that stuck in my craw about this was his brief mention of how the collapse looked like a controlled demolition, and how he then compared the WTC collapse to an actual controlled demolition.

With my admittedly lacking knowledge, controlled demolitions have explosives throughout the whole building, including the lower floors. When they push the plunger for the controlled demolotion, you can see the explosions on each floor (including the lower floors) as the building starts to come down.

If this was a controlled demolition, disguised with the smoke and mirrors of an aircraft ramming into the side, why did we see no molten steel, smoke or other craziness coming out of the ground or first floor? Or any of the lower floors? AND from the bottom up (as I believe it is done in controlled demolition)?

Finally, even if all it would have taken to collapse the WTC in a manner which made it look like a controlled demolition is some thermite/thermate on the 50th odd floor (sorry, I forget exactly which floor the aircraft hit), isn't that a bit of a gamble on the part of the people behind the "conspiracy"? I mean, you need a pilot who is able to fly a passenger jet directly into the correct floor of a building. To me that sounds like a tough thing to do, hitting a building in exactly the right place while travelling at high speed. A slight cock-up from the pilot and you'd have plane explosion and damage in one place, and then 25 floors below you'd be able to see all this molten steel from the thermite/thermate? Bit of a give away if you ask me.

I dunno - if you're going to go to all these lengths to have a pretense to invade somewhere, surely you'd rely on a plan that didn't have a large chance to be immediately exposed? Maybe I've been ruined by Hollywood's crazy and grandiose schemes, but I'd like to think that the "bad guys" would come up with a better, and more reliable, plan than this?

edit: I feel I should mention that I do think it's odd how the WTC towers collapsed. Without going into the wonderful world of science, it just seems odd that any building hit that high up would collapse straight down—probably a throw-back to my childhood days of building towers with my play bricks and then throwing my toys at it. However, I just can't bring myself to accept that this was a controlled explosion. It just doesn't seem to add up to me, much in the same way that the actual collapse doesn't add up. My internal jury is still out on this one.

I did like the fact that the Anonymous dude slipped in a fancy "over 9000" reference.

Wow, she actually knows her shit.
Except for the fact that she calls them "first shoot 'em up games" right at the end!

To be fair, she says she's no good at them, so if she gets the nomenclature wrong you have to... DUDE MILA FREAKING KUNIS ACTUALLY PLAYS COMPUTER GAMES YOU'VE HEARD OF!! LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS A BIT!!


You make an excellent point, sir! I tip my hat to you. Jimmy Kimmel is still a bit of an ass though (and hopefully I won't be made to eat my words on that statement).

@ponceleon I was wondering the exact same thing. Perhaps they knew they had guests arriving soon? Or... Ummm....

Ahhh, this takes me back to my physics lessons at school where we would talk about this with our teacher - who incidentally was not only a brilliant man, but also looked like Big Vern from Viz!

This video would have been so much better with the addition of a hyphen or two in the title to make it:

"Shark-eating whale-carcass caught on camera"

Now THAT would be something to behold!

Do his glasses have no arms? HOW DO THEY STAY ON HIS FACE?

I'm sorry, siftbot, please don't hurt me. I was only trying to help. :'(

No idea if I can second the *isdupe as it's my submission, but I'm sure siftbot will tell me off if I'm being naughty.

I love how he lowers the camera at about 1:20 to try to hide it. Oh no, imagine if he'd been caught filming, the guy would have run over, slid across the bonnet Starsky and Hutch style, swung his legs round through the driver side window and completely beaten down on the guy recording it.

Oh wait...

Well, despite the quality (thanks @Fusionaut) I guess this one needs a little loving. *beg

Opus, you beat me to it, that's exactly what was running through my mind when I saw it.

Well, if it isn't the leader of the sift patrol, boning up on his nerd votes!
