Letter to BBC re: "Conspiracy Files" documentary

[Formal complaint letter
submitted by Jock Doubleday to BBC
on February 21, 2007
re: "Conspiracy Files" Documentary]


Dear BBC:

My complaint is twofold.


1. ABSENCE OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND FACTS

It has been over five years since the 9/11 tragedy, and in that time "Conspiracy Files" producer Guy Smith has managed to discover little more than has been handed to him by the major media. There seems to have been no independent scientific research at all on the part of Smith or his team.

"Conspiracy Files" skipped over several important scientific facts . . .

First, the World Trade Center buildings were brought down by controlled demolition.

Supporting facts:

a) Jet fuel is not hot enough to melt steel in steel-frame towers. Jet fuel burns, at its hottest, at 1,520F. Construction steel has a melting point of 2,800F (before fire-proofing).

b) Black smoke coming from the two towers is evidence of low-temperature fire.

c) People waiting in the hole made by the passenger jet is evidence of low-temperature fire.

d) Evidence of the use of Thermate has been found on steel frame parts. Thermate is a patented chemical compound used in demolition work to cut through steel girders "like a hot knife through butter."

e) Steel-frame stubs still standing after the fall of the two buildings were cut at the slanting angle used in controlled demolition (clearly visible in rescue worker videos).

f) All three buildings fell at free-fall speed (clearly visible in all videos of building collapses).

g) All three buildings fell in their own footprints.

h) Building 7 was not hit by a plane but fell at free-fall speed.

i) Pools of molten steel (evidence of Thermate reaction) were still burning in basements of all three buildings four weeks or longer after the collapses.

j) Pyroclastic flow typical of volcanic eruptions was seen in New York City streets and even out in the harbor, flowing out over the water.

k) All three buildings' concrete was pulverized -- no sizeable chunks remained.

l) Desks, chairs, and copy machines were pulverized. No pieces of office equipment larger than a few inches were found by clean-up crews.

m) Significant seismic activity directly preceded each tower plane crash.

n) Squibs (small horizontal explosions) preceded the fall of the towers. These squibs are clearly visible in most videos of tower collapse when played in slow motion.

Why was it not mentioned in "Conspiracy Files" that no passenger jet hit the Pentagon?

Where were these supporting facts:

a) The hole in the Pentagon was not big enough to have been made by passenger jet.

b) The Pentagon lawn was not scratched.

c) No bodies were found by search dogs in or around the Pentagon.

d) No luggage was found in or around the Pentagon.

e) No passenger jet parts were found in our around the Pentagon.

f) No seismic wave forms were recorded by any of five seismology stations near the Pentagon.

2. BIAS

Why was BBC's show titled, "Conspiracy Files" when it should have had a title without bias -- something such as, "What Happened on 9/11"?

Speaking of bias, how can BBC consider "Conspiracy Files" to be a fair and balanced documentary when there were four times as many persons presenting the conventional model as there were persons presenting alternate theories/facts? Why were the alternate theory presenters slandered/defamed?

With the airing of "Conspiracy Files," BBC's credibility has been seriously tarnished. In this viewer's opinion, BBC's reputation is presently beneath ground zero.

It's shocking, really, that BBC would allow such a poorly researched documentary to be aired -- although after BBC's flagrant and biased trashing of Graham Hancock's excellent work in archaeology, perhaps we shouldn't be surprised.

Why do citizens have to do BBC's research for it? What are your subscribers paying for?

Here's hoping that, in the future, BBC 1) does a better job of researching its documentaries and 2) presents different sides of an issue in a fair and balanced way.

hi Jock, see:

and perhaps see you tomorrow night at the Pizza party ...

Hi Jock: Thank you for at least taking the time to articulately and efficiently put forth the arguments for your assertions.

I do, of course, disagree with these claims and (as you must know) for every website that you and others garner information from, there are alternate ones debunking such "evidence".

One in particular that I tend to have faith in is the following:

If I am not mistaken, every assertion in your argumument is addressed here and I'd be curious about your thoughts. Of course, there are many more repositories for such information, but I think the following sums everything up in one place quite convincingly, lucidly and without mud-slinging or hysteria (which pepper many of the internet-based sites on both sides of the argument).

p.s. Jock!

forgot to say "thank you" for your integrity!

in a world where everyone else was blowing political/gangster compulsion at you ... you stood and told the truth as we all knew/know it, though few had the loving healing heart to speak ...

(to paraphrase Jiddu Khrishnamurti ...)

thank you to Jock AND to LTOR (to one for the clear and concise account of discrepancies, and to the other for clear and genuinely open dissent with no personal venom). now THIS (potentially) is dialog!

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

The evidence is overwhelming that the U.S. government carried out 911.

That's my opinion based on my reading of the evidence.


I respect contrary opinions but I think they rest on some type of denial.

This is not the place to debate the evidence. To learn about the 911 Truth Movement's view, 911blogger.com is as good a place to start as any.

I have read that the debunking of Popular Mechanics has itself been debunked but I have not read that part of the debate myself.

Cheers. Carry on with the search for truth. It will out.
