I wish we could just ignore these idiots, such a waste of energy. Young people often have moronic opinions, doesnt mean we need to make tv programs about it as cheap sensationalism. Thanks bbc, you are full of turd.

To be fair I think the programme was more about illustrating what complete idiots they are.

That Charlie guy was the most reasonable of them but he summed up what's wrong with these people when he said he's spent the last 10 years hanging around people who believe the same things. They're just re-enforcing the nonsense to each other, like people that attend church.

First thing I said to my OH as they got on the bus was "It's like a religion that's sprung up"

Pure logic shoots conspiracies like this down in flames.

OK, the WTC buildings were brought down. So you have to recruit X hundred or thousand structural workers. American structural workers. To indoctrinate/coerce first off. Then work after hours, in secret planting explosive and cutting into girders in the dead of night, clearing up each day so that not a single day worker would have an idea. under the noses of security and with all the lights blazing. THEN they and their families all keep quiet, after witnessing in person on TV the Twin towers come down a AND NOT A SINGLE one of them comes out in the succeeding 10 years to say that they were did this work on the towers...? It's just not gonna happen.

And that's just one of the theories. Add them all together and you would need so many people to keep quiet knowing they had a hand in carrying out this atrocity which killed thousand of their countrymen, it's just not going to happen that you wouldn't get a proportion of the people involved speak out after a while.

Yet all you get are the theorists. Who essentially are frightened by the whole thing as Charlotte obviously was. Frightened by the irreffutable truth that 9/11 was carried out by religious nut jobs who had the gall to try something which the Yank governemnt was neither prepared for or would believe would happen.

This programme was amazing. that Charlotte girl was identical in my mind to the religious fanatics who carried out the attack. Totally indoctinated, brainwashed and unable to listen to reason. Quite ironic actually

Well put. It's just utterly preposterous. Thing with that Charlotte was that she seemed to think and behave very emotionally e.g. her argument with the other girl and totally missing the point of the host's santa claus analogy and storming out. Maybe we just have to accept that some people's brains are not wired up to reason things out but instead have an insane emotional and unreasoned response to everything.

They should be challenged. There is a type of person emerging that will take the web as the sole source of any info. This sort of balderdash is often taken at face value despite the evidence to the contrary and if you sling enough excrement at a wall, some of it will stick and this is the case with this mob. They must be reminded that despite their bead on the topic, there are people with real brains in the world. They act like they are the only group aware that the gubbmint is guilty and the rest of us are sheeple.... an annoying phrase. All the various "{insert idiot list} For Truth" have to do is man up an prove it but they will not, they snipe away from corners on the web festering in their own ignorance and trying to poison the well genuinely curious who are capable for making their minds up.

It has been interesting looking in on the various forums and watching the idiocy and bile exude from them.


And breathe out. Sorry.
