Well if you got those 12 hours going you must not have any thinking time left . The video is air traffic controll all calls from start to finish . If you want paper copies file your FOIA  Yes there are still Govt trolls debunking ever thing the Govt don't want ,can't have people thinking.

Yep, not much thinking is going on.  You keep posting stuff and I ask questions.  You haven't been able to think of a single response to defend your theories.  I wonder why that is.  Why is it you can't discuss the details of a single item you believe to be true, but would rather immediately go off on a different direction? 

So do you think I'm a gov't troll also?  Did I join HT years ago in anticipation of the eventual creation of HG and CC just so that I could debunk tales of little green men on Mars and ridiculously absurd theories about man never having reached the moon and gov't plots to attack its own country? 

When you want to start thinking and discuss any of your points on 9/11, get back to me.  In the mean time, here's an example of the critical thinking you don't do in regards to your ATC video which I still have not viewed.

How do you know what you're listening to is real?  On not selectively edited? Lots of the quotes used by conspiracy nuts that were by firemen, news reporters, or politicians have been shown to be highly edited in order to mislead the gullible conspiracy nut public.  So how do you know any of this is real?

How do you know what a normal everyday ATC traffic is supposed to sound like and how this differs?

How do you know how this would differ if it was real terrorism or a gov't plot to fake terrorism?

You're willing to question the evidence provided by everyone who disagrees with you, are you willing to ask honest, basic, critical thinking questions of the stuff you want to believe?  You've accused others of being close minded.  Are you open minded enough to honestly look at both sides of this issue? 

I'm sure if I watch your vid, I'll have other questions.  But why should I waste my time when you haven't answered a single question I have put to you about the theories you advocate?

This is a good example of the inability of the conspiracists to see their own illogical and groundless thinking. 

How do you know, "some of these evildoers consider themselves to be gentlemen and they believe that by warning people before the dastardly deed, even if in a coded and unlikely manner, they somehow will remain gentlemen"?  What is the basis for this assertion of fact?  It might be your opinion, but your statement that it is a fact leads me to believe you don't know the difference between fact and opinion.

The barrel you live in must be really small.

It might be, I'm not telling.  But your comment doesn't address my point.  HH stated something as a fact and I'll I want to know is how he knows it to be true.  Isn't that a fair question to ask?
