A member of the 9/11 commission has broken his silence about some of the unreleased findings:
A former Republican member of the 9/11 commission, breaking dramatically with the commission's leaders, said Wednesday he believes there was clear evidence that Saudi government employees were part of a support network for the 9/11 hijackers and that the Obama administration should move quickly to declassify a long-secret congressional report on Saudi ties to the 2001 terrorist attack.
The comments by John F Lehman, an investment banker in New York who was Navy secretary in the Reagan administration, signal the first serious public split among the 10 commissioners since they issued a 2004 final report that was largely read as an exoneration of Saudi Arabia, which was home to 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11.

When theory becomes science, it is no longer called a theory.
Damn straight! I mean, except for ...
Biology: cell theory, modern evolutionary synthesis, germ theory, particulate inheritance theory, dual inheritance theory
Chemistry: collision theory, kinetic theory of gases, Lewis theory, molecular theory, molecular orbital theory, transition state theory, valence bond theory
Physics: atomic theory, Big Bang theory, Dynamo theory, M-theory, perturbation theory, theory of relativity (successor to classical mechanics), quantum field theory
Other: Climate change theory (from climatology), plate tectonics theory (from geology), theories of the origin of the Moon, theories for the Moon illusion
... and let's not forget gravity.

The reply to the video comment (flight trajectory) talked of a "conspiracy theory" or something like that.
The video contains evidence that the maneuvers made by the 9/11 planes were beyond the capabilities of the planes. The video was made by pilots who want an independent investigation. Truth fears no investigation, right?
You could've saved that "theory" post of yours for another time. It wasn't appropriate here, thanks.

When the GP posted "When theory becomes science, it is no longer called a theory" they were claiming theories are not "science" to which I call bullshit. I posted that many theories are in fact still called theories but which are in fact science. My post was more than appropriate, it was warranted.
AFA your little whining conspiracy video, keep spreading the lies and let your delicious speak for themselves. You can post and/or believe anything you want but that doesn't make it true.

If the fight path wasn't possible, what does that mean? That we were just seeing swamp gas refracting the light from Venus when we thought we were seeing aircraft crash into buildings?
