Maybe he should have thought of this before he started spouting off conspiracy theory speculation as fact.

9/11 isn't even something to joke about, let alone make up wild conspiracy theories when we KNOW what happened.

No offense to anyone here but I would be open to another investigation into the 9/11 attacks. I'm not convinced that those buildings came down with just an airplane strike. What about building seven? That building came down and it wasn't even hit by anything. There are too many things that don't seem right about that incident.
