The USAF could not prevent the attacks because transponders in
the hijacked jets were turned off. Explosives in the twin towers were "debunked" by Popular Mechanics (now there's a joke).
The demolition of WTC 7 was also "debunked" by the ever reliable Popular Mechanics. The rest of the programme
was dedicated to straw men. Was the Pentagon was hit by a plane? Did Flight 93 crash in Pennysylvania or did
it land elsewhere? Did 4000 Jews skip work in the WTC on 9/11? Were the attacks predicted in the pilot of the
"Lone Gunmen"
TV show? Finally, the programme finished with an irrelevant piece on pre-9/11 warnings which were missed.
The conclusion of the BBC: the evidence doesn't support conspiracy theories.
Okay, let's
take a look at a some facts which were "overlooked" by the BBC.
Fact: The BBC stated there were no
casualties when WTC 7 collapsed. This is flat out wrong. Master Special Officer Craig Miller of the Secret
Service died when the building came down.

Fact: Eight minutes before the Pentagon crash
Flight 77 was tracked by radar as it closed to within 30 miles of Washington, therefore the whereabouts of the
plane was known, therefore it could have been intercepted. http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/911stand.html
The
BBC briefly mentioned that Flight 77 hit a reinforced section of the Pentagon. What they failed to mention is
that reinforcements on this section were completed on 9/11/2001 meaning this section of the building was
nearly deserted when the plane hit.

Finally, why did the BBC report that WTC
7 had collapsed ~20 minutes before the event occurred?
"...more on the latest building collapse in New York ... we was talking a few minutes ago about the
Salomon Building [WTC 7] collapsing, well indeed it has. ... it was because the building had been weakened
during this morning's attacks." [15.6 MB WMV download]
News reporters only repeat what they have been told, and it is obvious that these reporters
did not know what WTC 7 looked like because it is the building burning in the background of this live footage.
Who told the reporters that WTC 7 had collapsed? How did they have foreknowledge of the collapse? Why
was Google compelled to remove this video from their servers
minutes after it appeared? [More details]
Note time stamp on this clip from BBC News.
21:54 London time is 16:54 (4:54 PM) East Coast time, 20 minutes BEFORE WTC-7 actually collapsed.
Many "government huggers" have tried to dismiss the above footage as being a live reporter in front of a green screen,
but there are two reasons why this is not the case. First, the BBC camera zooms in on the scene, which is something not possible with a green screen
shot. Second, the woman BBC reporter is not under a studio light but under the harsh backlight seen in other live on-the-scene shots such as this one from CNN.
The evidence doesn't support conspiracy theories?
Crap.
The evidence doesn't
support the official version, and that is why this programme focussed on trivial issues.
