9/11: Explosive Evidence - Experts Speak Out (2012)

*** (out of 4)

This documentary originally aired on PBS and apparently became a hit among certain groups, which led to it growing a rather strong cult following. The documentary basically takes a bunch of experts to discuss how it was impossible for the Twin Towers to fall on their attack on 9/11. We're given the "evidence" that the government said caused the two towers (and Building 7) to collapse and then we here from countless high-rise architects and other experts. We learn the scientific reason as to why it was impossible for the buildings to fall in the way that they did and we see their evidence as to why they believe there were explosives inside the building.

Some people look at conspiracy theories as loony nuts who are constantly not believing what they're told and coming up with wild stories. Others see conspiracy theories as people willing to look further to what we're told and discover things that just don't make sense. There are so many awful 9/11 documentaries out there that it's hard to go through a dozen of them and find one good one. Theories are all over the place but I must say that this one here is actually one of the better made ones. I say that because they offer up some pretty good questions as to the official report and show some nice evidence as to why things just don't make sense. As someone who watched the events live that day, I think the most striking stuff is the actual news footage from that day where people discuss hearing explosions.

The documentary is certainly one-sided and there's no doubt that it was produced to push this side. Personally speaking, I would have preferred some "experts" from the "other side" to offer up their reasonings for thinking that the towers could have fallen the way they did. I think if both sides would have had a voice here then it would have been much better. As is, we pretty much get the conspiracy side here and now we have to search out another video from the other side to hear their explanations. Either way, this is still worth viewing for those who enjoy documentaries on the subject.
