Truth or Fiction!

What are some of the strangest theories out there?

Edited by TheBigFrog

Please tell the truth

As a pilot I do not for one second believe that a complete novice could have flown the plane into the pentagon. WTC's, yeah, I could buy that, but their is no way in the world an airliner piloted by student pilots could have flown the flight path they did.


Neville Bartos killed Mark 'Chopper' Read and made it look like cancer.

It wasn't neville bartos. it was either jack watts, cameron scwabb or caroline wilson

Depending on which story you are willing to believe, it was either a military plane flown by remote control or trainee pilots.

There is a lot more going on here then we all been told.

Or there was no plane at all. Has anyone seen a photograph in which any part of the "plane" is visible amongst the wreckage of the building? And no one saw or filmed the plane as it approached? Hmmmm.

Mate, don't know (or really care) what it was, be it a military aircraft or even a missile (maybe targeting a section of the pentagon they wanted removed???), but what I do know is that it sure as well was not trainee pilots, of this I am 100% certain having seen the flight path and profile that the pentagon action is not what they claim.

I don't understand why you do not believe a flunking trainee pilot can fly a large plan meters from the ground over parked cars, make a perfect turn to avoid hitting the Pentagon where it would have done serious damage to only hit a vacated section which was recently renovated and fly low enough to avoid missile systems. Why you would question the lack of wreckage at the site as well as the obvious attempts to remove evidence before any investigation.

I wonder if the more powerful clubs with greater resources track young kids before they get in the system and promise them they will be picked up by them in the draft but to enable them to do that they have to play below their ability.

This would mean that they could guarantee their stay at the top and would be getting the best talent for picks well above where they should be taken.

It would explain why we get the number one pick but get only the players that haven't been coerced by the more powerful clubs.

Now that's a conspiracy.

I'm not really into conspiracy theories - particularly those that can be so neatly summed up in a Youtube vid - but for me the most interesting incident requiring further investigation in my lifetime is / was the death of cricketer Hansie Cronje in that plane crash following revelations of match-fixing in cricket.

I'm in India at the moment, and there was a front page story in the papers here yesterday reporting the comments of the senior police investigator into match-fixing at the time who said that the Government ordered him to close the probe down because it was bringing out too many skeletons from the closet in the multi-million (bilion?) betting industry. Basically, they never got the chance to get to the bottom of the case...

I wonder if we'll ever know the truth?

May indeed be something to tis as he had over 70 oversea accounts (hidden).

The full extent of his corruption will never be known.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
