@george-k said in HBO Broadcasts Conspiracy Theories:
otes 30 minutes near the very end of his series to relitigating arguments that have been debunked a thousand times. Specifically, he presents about a dozen conspiracy theorists and members of Gage’s group, including Gage himself, in a back-and-forth with three credible scientists who investigated the 9/11 attacks in a teach the controversy–style format that presents the truth behind 9/11 as an open debate between two equally valid sides. In terms of conveying facts, this is a bit like presenting COVID-19 vaccine skeptics in a debate alongside Anthony Fauci, or Holocaust deniers alongside the Simon Wiesenthal Center, or a clique of climate change skeptics alongside the authors of the United Nations IPCC report.
I met the A&E for 9/11 Truth folks at the AIA convention a few years ago. They focus on the collapse of WTC 7, calling it a controlled demolition.
The video looks nothing like a controlled demo. They also ignore that at 800 deg F steel starts to lose 10% of its bearing strength, and typical office fires get up around 1500 - 1750 deg F, so even with spray on fire proofing, if its not a complete seal that the collapse will occur and the building will start pancaking. Which is exactly what it looked like.
And they claim 3000+ members out of probably 600,000 registered architects and structural engineers in America.
They're nuts.
