I don’t think you’re reading into this joke correctly. I take it as “people only ever talk about the two towers, but other shit was destroyed too and nobody cares”
At the risk of repeating the deleted comments (be gentle if I am, please), I read it as the US government telling us to remember the twin towers, then not telling us to remember wtc7 (FBI involvement and rule of threes for the joke), and to totally forget the Epstein files.
I always found that particular angle to be hilarious. Like, if you didn’t know the towers were sorta built like a bundle of wires on end and that deforming even the tip of the bundle with heat could cause the roof to fall in and split the whole thing open, then the argument from the conspiracy theorist that it was a controlled demolition sounds plausible. How could that tiny plane hitting so high on the tower knock it down, twice?
Suddenly the WTC-7 guy appears. He’s wearing a literal tinfoil hat and he hasn’t showered in a week. He hijacks the entire conversation to explain how a building that was slapped by the (burning) tallest building in the world couldn’t have possibly collapsed after 7 hours of uncontrolled fire.
By now you’re probably realizing you have somewhere else to be, and that’s fine, because the two crazies are now shouting over each other about why the Pentagon didn’t collapse, how the entire attack was cover for UA 93 to flee for South America, or whether it was the CIA or aliens who orchestrated the whole thing.

Yeah… The wtc was basically supported by a center frame tube support structure tied together with a couple hundred perimeter support beams by giant hat truss. If the hat truss is damaged the whole thing collapses under its own weight.
how a building that was slapped by the (burning) tallest building in the world couldn’t have possibly collapsed after 7 hours of uncontrolled fire.
But but, no sky scraper had ever been brought down by fire before… They always forget the part where a giant chunk of building fell on it doing a ton of structural damage before a multi floor uncontrolled fire burnt for 7 hours straight. Plus, there have been several buildings of similar size that have collapsed due to fire since 2001.
People who think 9/11 was a controlled demolition simply do not not know enough about engineering to have an educated opinion. There are only a few demolition companies in the world large enough to take on a project that size, and it would have taken months of hundreds if not thousands of civilian workers and engineers working onsite around the clock to execute.

No we’re just waiting for you to elaborate or get downvoted to oblivion.
Trolls/bots too often post vague and broad statements without providing details so here we are again. Asking for details
Are you an Epstein Files denier or something?
Next thing he’s going to say Obama didn’t do 9/11 or something!
I mean… he was in the white house at the time. Why didn’t he go to help at ground zero like Trump?
Because he was busy praying towards Mecca and defiling everything that is holy about America, duh!
Are you a Biden Assassination denier?

It’s hilarious how all you do is complain about Lemmy but you still use it enough for me to recognize your username.
It’s like you live to be miserable.
Are you not miserable? Is that not why we are here?
Are you not entertained? Lol

What was the conspiracy?
That 9/11 was a false flag attack and the buildings were demolished by the government. It was a meme even. “Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” etc.
WTC-7 was seen by these people as proof of the conspiracy because it fell without being hit by a plane.
Oooh. Yeah. There’s insane people on every point of the political spectrum.

Free fall speed? Into its own footprint? There have been hundreds of structual engineers who have come forward calling it a controlled demolition.
I don’t know. If you’re not worried about casualties or collateral damage then it gets a lot easier.
I don’t think the person you replied to believes the conspiracy, they’re just answering the question about what the conspiracy is.
You’re correct, but I don’t think disorderly thought I believed it.
Because we all know planes are the only thing that can cause a building to fall.
Every time a high rise is demolished, someone has to fly a plane into it. It’s pretty much what the Boeing 737 Max was designed for.
And pool noodles. Never hit a building with a pool noodle!
Don’t even mention the Pentagon
Isn’t that where the missile hit on that fateful day?
