This film has no credible information because the film didn't add anything new to already well-spoken conspiracy theories that been surrounding 9/11 since that day. Other previous 9/11 documentaries did a better job explaining these theories a lot better than this film. The film felt like another conspiracy theory documentary with nothing new to say. It was just a lazy film that retells the same old information that other did the research for their documentary. The documentary doesn't even bring any good information. It just talk about the same old things that most conspiracy theories documentary are showing and questioning like: why the pentagon wreckage was so small and show little remains of aircraft or how the World Trade Center might have bombs inside the building and that the plane that crash into it, doesn't like a commercial jet. First off, the pentagon is a fortified building with steel reinforced walls. I found it plausible that only the nose of the plane pierced the building and the rest of the aircraft disintegrated and followed inertia into the hole. Plus, the film only talks about the second floor hole, and not the 90 feet ground floor hole. So the film present it in a misrepresentation matter. Second off, the plane that hit New York was clearly a passenger plane and it indeed crash into the World Trade Center, and the bombs weren't bombs, but the floors collapsing onto each other. Let's note that this film is created in 2004, so it's a bit outdated. There are a lot of documentaries that came after this, that try to answer those questions, and pretty much show that there is no way, the US government could had done an attack like that. It would first be costly, second off, war isn't as profitable as it was in the old days, and third, if the government did do it, do you really think that all those people would cover up a horrible act for so long. NO—somebody will come out. I don't think our government planned 9/11, but perhaps they knew of the terrorist attack ahead and allow it to happen, to gain more power to convince us to give up more freedom for security. Still, it's up to question. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying trust your government! I might be against the idea that the government did 9/11, but no way, believe everything they say. I do know about the government covering up events in the past before, such as the 1964's Gulf of Tonkin incident, the whole Operation Northwoods, the whole pre-knowing of Pearl Harbor, and even the Remember the Main incident. Still, I don't think this documentary did anything to make it stand out. It didn't go to Washington D.C, Pittsburgh, or New York crash sites, and look for the clues. It didn't go to former president Bush or any current or former government figure and dig any question out of them. It didn't go to the military and dig for answer. It didn't even bother getting the firemen that it was supposed to get for the interview. Question, if the fireman that was getting interview, got let go by the firehouse, how come the interview didn't still go on? It seem like a lame excuse to tell why the firemen was unable to show up on camera. The film didn't even left the radio station. It's seem like just one long ad for the radio station, power hour looking for viewers. Most of the film show other people's materials and video footages. I like how they show blurry close up of video tapes that really doesn't show anything and act like there is something there when there isn't. Then it cut back to a talking head that has nothing to do with Sept. 11. Honestly, what credit does this radio host guy David von Kiest has to talk about Sept. 11? He isn't a former government leader, he isn't part of the military, and no way does he have clue what he is talking about. Plus, the film acts like its only purpose is to seek out the truth, but it's so one-sider, it's can't be taken serious. Don't the filmmakers know that there were a lot of confusing information that came out of that day that proves that their conspiracy 'facts' might not hold up with the greater amount of information. Honestly, to solve this conspiracy theory, more than seeing the wreckage by looking at video footage. Why not look for it at its source. Go to New York and Washington and find what happen to the airplane wreckage. If not that, they should go find out find all the people who were on the flight and do the research on their families to find out whether there was actually a plane that consisted of passengers that hit the pentagon and the World Trade Center! If the people don't match or look fake, then it's not a conspiracy theory at all. It's simple like that. Clearly, the planes weren't shot down in the Atlantic, as none of the planes were near it. Duh, movie. If you really want to make a truth video. Then go to Washington D.C or Afghanistan and ask the 'so-called' terrorists. I don't see any of these documentaries going hard on the source. If the government really didn't want us to know that they did it. At less, you would think they would had done a better job. The movie was even reject from some individuals in the 9/11 truth movement due to its outlandish crackpot claims. If this film was reject by some people in the 9/11 truth movement, then you have to see that this movie isn't as clear as it makes it out to be.

Many of us remember what we were doing on September 11, 2001.

Like most Americans, I watched in horror and anger and bought into the official story. But the inconsistencies contradicting the "official" story began piling up. I couldn't ignore it. In the months and years since, so much evidence refuting the "official" line has come to light -- and nowhere will you find a better compilation of the evidence than "9/11 In Plane Site."

Host Dave vonKleist examines such things as the object attached to the belly of United Airlines Fight 175 (the second jet that hit the south tower) and the flash that occurs milliseconds before impact, the apparent lack of windows on the plane, the pancake collapse of the World Trade Center towers, the mysterious collapse of Building 7 (which I believe was the control center for the "pulling" of the World Trade Center towers,) and the Boeing 757 ("American Airlines Flight 77") that supposedly struck the Pentagon.

Watch and decide for yourself if this is a conspiracy theory -- or a conspiracy.

One can only sit with a sense of humor through this excruciating piece of nonsense and wonder aloud how such dribble is attempting to pass itself off as 'proof' of what really happened. A desire to again blame a government conspiracy on such a major tragedy is a poor excuse for jumbled facts, quotes taken out of context and very questionable interpretation of video footage from that fateful day.

The other major problem with this flick is it's hokey cut and paste approach in order to present the 'facts' that it's attempting to prove. Flashes, pods and an animation of a plane that looks like it's rolling across a runway towards the Pentagon. Are we to dismiss totally the accounts of eyewitnesses who saw that jetliner tear into the Pentagon? What about the photos published after the event that show aircraft wreckage from different vantage points at the site which is barely flashed in this film?

If one is to take any of this seriously the viewer is left with only one question - what happened to the aircraft involved and all of the passengers? If anyone can answer that million dollar question with any reasonable sense of clarity, then perhaps the entire premise would at least have some validity. If the die-hard believers in this film is are still not convinced, the following link might be of some interest:

Dave has recently released a director's cut version of this film that is 76 minutes. He adds some footage from OKC. The original version to me left a bit to be desired, and I would have given the original an 8 or 9. The director's cut presents a much stronger case against the official story on 9/11. If you have only seen the original, you should check out the director's cut. To me, this and Alex Jones's "Martial Law: The Rise of the Police State" are the two best documentaries on 9/11.

The reason that I think this is one of the better 9/11 documentaries out there is that they stick to documented video evidence. There is a review on this site that claims that the video is doctored. If this reviewer had taken the time to obtain the PBS "America Rebuilds" documentary, as well as the Naudet brothers video and CNN's America Remembers, you would see that the video is not doctored. I went to a screening of this video and Dave was offering a free copy of the CNN video to anyone who bought the DC of "In Plane Site." The one problem I had watching the original was when they started taking about the pods. Conspiracy theories are easy to dismiss when you can focus on some fringe argument as if it is the main point. The arguments concerning pods and remote control and stand down orders are difficult, if not impossible to prove. To me, the strongest provable argument against the official story is Larry Silverstein's "pull it" quote from "America Rebuilds" concerning WTC7, which was not even mentioned in the 911 Commission report. He admits that the collapse of building 7 was a controlled demolition. Since it takes weeks to wire a building for demolition, how did they do it in just a few hours? People died in this building when it collapsed, so why is Silverstein's comment not viewed as an admission of premeditated murder? Anyway, when viewing the pod evidence in the video, it is important to watch on as big of a TV as possible. I was initially skeptical as mentioned above, but it is very clear when I watched the DVD on a 36" TV with component inputs. You can see both the pod and the flash from four different angles. What it is and why it is there is not the point. The point is that it is not a feature of a commercial plane.

This is a great film by people who love this country and are not trying to profit from tragedy like Michael Moore. We need more people like Dave Von Kleist and Joyce Riley.

9/11 in Plane Site is an attempt to sway the gullible viewer into believing completely irrational theories of 9/11. It shows a lunatic named David von Kleist presenting video "evidence" that the World Trade Center was a controlled demolition, but also that the planes had missiles attached to them. Yes, you heard that right. In spite of the massive evidence that Al Qaeda on the orders of Bin Laden highjacked 4 planes and drove 3 of them into buildings causing those buildings to collapse, von Kleist asks you to believe otherwise.

This video is just a symptom of a sickness. The sickness is called irrationality. Some of the afflicted deny the Holocaust, some believe we never went to the moon, some that we are being visited by aliens. All present skewed laughable evidence. Many believe JFK was killed by conspiracy and their evidence is Oliver Stone's movie. Some believe the bible is literally true and their evidence is that's what they were taught.

To believe this 9/11 conspiracy crap you have to overlook the evidence pointing to Al Queda, the thousands of witnesses to the events, the forensic evidence of all crash sites, the cell-phone calls, the black boxes....in short you must ignore EVERYTHING except what these cranks want you to see. And what they show is laughable. The "pod" on the plane is actually the right fairing that contains the landing gear, the flash is what happens when metal hits an object at 530mph. The extensive damage of the Pentagon's 5 rings is not shown...only the facade is. WTC7's massive damage is not shown here; von Kleist has his own explanations for all this and it doesn't gel for anyone who values rational thought. For those with an agenda, or a world view that can't accept that chaos happens in a chaotic world, you might believe this junk. For the rational, don't waste your time.

Popular Mechanics has a good article that debunks these theories on their website. It's called "Debunking the 9/11 Myths".

Do I trust the United States government? Hell no. But this show is ridiculous. There were many independent witnesses of what happened at the Pentagon and the WTC. There were pilots who were scrambled to follow the hijacked planes, and are still giving their testimonies. How do you explain all the phone calls people made from the planes to their relatives? I agree that the US govt used 911 as an excuse to invade Iraq, and they have done similar things in the past. The intelligence services during WWII knew that Pearl Harbour was going to occur - that has been pretty well established. But I don't believe that they would actually murder thousands of their own citizens. The Commission into 911 showed that the terrorists had been plotting their attacks on US landmarks for years, and they themselves admitted to it. I saw this show on the fifth anniversary of 911 - and what an insult to the casualties and their families.

This is a poorly made, so-called "documentary". Made by the untalented William Lewis and Dave Von Kleist. None of them have any education, and they have made this so-called "documentary" in their basement. Which can be seen. It is very poorly made. The kind of smoking gun in this so-called "documentary" is some footage of questionable origin, which "reveals" and explosion in the WTC before on of the plane hits it. The two persons that worked on this so-called "documentary" claims that it is from reel footage taken on 9/11. Right... Then why have no news-station taken this up, and shown it?? The Conspiracy-virgins answer would be that the secret Zionist-American-Muslim-Shadow-Government have control of all the worlds TV-Stations. Which I have actually have heard conspiracy theorists claim over and over again..... But if you use your brain on this, then you'll come to the conclusion that it is a ludicrous lie: all the world TV-stations, is about hundred thousands to millions of people.... and all of these people are according to the conspiracy theorists part of the conspiracy, by covering it up...... Conspiracy theorists see no problem in it, but all with a decent brain do. All the TV-stations of the world have not taken these kinda "documentary" up, because of: they are poorly made garbage, plain and simple. What you see in this so-called "documentary" is false and fake footage. The conspiracy theorists are the first to claim that all what the government (I.E. people with education) present to us is all false and fake...... how come that all the what the conspiracy theorists present to the public automatically is the truth, which is to be believed in blindly? The truth is that there are just as many idiots on all sides. Many of these conspiracy theorists are lonely people, who grave attention, so they make fake documentaries with fake footage, to get attention from other people of their kind.

Why do conspiracy-theorists believe in these documentaries??

There have been made thousands of documentaries that states that Al-Quada attacked USA 9/11. These documentaries are all made by dozens of educated and clever journalists. These documentaries are based on hundreds upon hundreds of eye-witness-accounts, words of experts and reel footage.

There have been made hundreds and hundreds of books that states that Al-Quada attacked USA 9/11. These documentaries are all made by dozens of educated and clever journalists. These documentaries are based on hundreds upon hundreds of eye-witness-accounts, words of experts and reel footage.

There have been made about 5 books that state that USA planned 9/11. All of them are based on 3 or 4 eye-witness-accounts. Based on 1 - 2 expert-accounts (and mostly in a different field), and also based on doubtful footage.

There have been made about 3 - 4 documentaries that state that USA planned 9/11. All of them are based on 4 or 5 eye-witness-accounts. Based on 6 - 7 expert-accounts (and mostly in a different field), and also based on doubtful footage.

It is beyond me that you people (conspiracy-theorists) choose to believe in the documentaries and books that state USA planned 9/11. But then again there are those people that think that the Holocaust never happened.

This documentary is fake to the bone. None of the elements or footage in it can be trusted. Also: Have none of you even questioned the legality of this documentary? IT HAS ONLY BEEN MADE 2 PEOPLE. This is the same of all conspiracy documentaries: Alex Jones so-called "documentary" also only includes himself as doing all the work, and also the two people that made the poorly made so-called "documentary" "Loose change", or whatever that poorly made piece of garbage was called. Reel documentaries have many times that amount of people involved: researchers, journalists, experts and other technical people. This so-called "documentary" has not got that many people involved - and what does that tell you? Yes that is right: it is fake.

It is fiction.

This 'documentary' raises some VERY interesting questions, every single one of which can be explained with the help of expert knowledge in various fields concerned.

This is a 'hit and run' strategy, where they throw a bunch of questions at you (that initially provide partially believable 'evidence'), and run with the money they made from selling broadcasting rights to TV stations around the world.

By the time you do some thinking and reading of your own, and realise that their version of events have 10 times the number of inconsistencies compared to the official version of events, it is already too late. You have already made the producers rich by watching their show.

Conspiracy theories are exciting, because they offer an alternative to the official versions of events, and tricks the viewer into thinking that they are a select few who know the TRUTH (despite the fact that if you saw it on TV, so did millions of other people).

One must do a lot of research to make a show like this, and there is no way that he did not come across perfectly valid explanations for the claims he's making (such as that found in the Popular Mechanics article, link below:)

http://www.messiahsbranch.org/images/content/911_myths.htm

The producers knew that each and every one of his claims, while creating some interesting questions initially, didn't stack up in the end.

For example, the hole in the Pentagon didn't seem wide enough for a Boeing jet - but did they consider that the fuselage carries 95% of the weight of the aircraft, such that when it crashes into reinforced concrete, it leaves a hole the size of the fuselage, rather than a perfect imprint of the aircraft like you see in cartoons?

And did they know that there were photographic evidence of remains of airplanes at the Pentagon crash site, and of passenger windows at the WTC crash site?

Of course they did. But did they address any of them?

Of course they didn't.

If you spent any time at all researching the evidence (as the producers of the show would have), you would have found out that it simply didn't make sense.

This show is pure garbage - and a moral/ethical crime against those whose lives were tragically ended that day 5 years ago.

Wow! Where do I start with this travesty of truth? You know, it really scares me that there are people so stupid and clueless as to not recognize the wool being pulled over their eyes! There are more unanswered questions in this film than there are answered ones! Does that not tip you off to the absurdity of this lame production? For instance, if Flight 93 landed in Ohio, then what happened to the people who called their loved ones on cell phones and said goodbye to them? Also, when several tons of airplane smack into a building at 200 plus miles an hour, whether it hits concrete OR glass....are you really SO stupid to think that a "flash" spark of that contact would not occur? And aside from Flight 93, what happened to the other 3 commercial flights that went missing that day? What happened to their passengers and crews? You wonder why explosions were heard as each tower fell. Did it occur to you that when tons of debris from each ascending floor smacks into each other it might sound like an explosion? Did it also dawn on your dumb butts that each floor probably has at least one if not several water heaters on it? Have you ever heard a water heater explode? I guarantee it's big enough and loud enough to level a normal one-story house or building! The sheer weight of each floor collapsing in on itself would have flattened and popped every water heater like a balloon! Oh, and I've seen a hundred other photographs of the Pentagon wreckage that this film conveniently left out that shows PLENTY of room for a commercial airliner to fit into...so don't start in on that either! This film relies heavily on all of the misinformation that floats around in the early stages of any disaster. It takes DAYS to sort it all out, and you all KNOW that! From the mistaken reports of two other bombs located in the OKC wreckage to the reports that there were more than 4 planes involved on 9/11 (I have those all on videotape)...all these reports occurred in the first hours of each event and were later cleared up and corrected.

I am just praying to God that you people who actually believe in some kind of conspiracy and take this dumb film as fact do a lot more research for the REAL truth, and stop wasting precious time and your lives believing doctored footage and misrepresentation of what you can actually see with your own eyes! It's this kind of garbage that helps perpetuate the belief, by outside countries, that the people of the United States are uneducated and stupid! Please stop fueling that fire!

This so-called "documentary" sets out to "prove" that the attacks of 11 September 2001 were an inside job and the result of a vast conspiracy.

There's only one problem: they can't prove any such thing.

To begin with, it is very bad investigative technique to start with a predetermined premise and shape your "research" to prove the narrative. This kind of research, done with the express purpose of affecting the outcome, is ludicrous and execrable and the results are not worthy of attention.

The narrator starts out with a detailed explanation of the definitions of "conspiracy," "theory," and "conspiracy theory." It's a whole lot of twaddle because most people with half a brain already know what these things mean and his definitions shed no new light on the subject.

The rest of the film is devoted to a mishmash of eyewitness accounts (so unreliable that they are often disallowed in court) and pseudo scientific claptrap ("Hunt the Boeing??" Leave it to the French to come up with an absurdity so complete that it made me laugh.)

The filmmakers steer clear of experts and people who know aviation, building construction, the effects of various stresses on a given structure, or anything remotely resembling an attempt to ascertain the facts.

If you buy this piece of garbage, I have a lovely bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
