First, I'm new so I apologize if this has already been addressed.
What prompted the remaking of Loose Change? Did the filmmakers give an official reason?
The Second Edition is alot more credible and I know the first version took alot of heat for the pod stuff etc.. They were, in some circles, being accused of being disinformation moles. The Second edition seems to be an effort to prove they aren't Gubmint ponies and I'm wondering if they had an explaination for the remake.
Although I still have reservations about some of the stuff presented, it is alot less "kookified" than the original.

I don't think this topic was already adressed here. As far as I know ther was no official explanation about creation of the second edition.

Official statement was that the pod stuff wasn't dumped because the creators do not believe in pod theory, they said that didn't have enough space in documentary for it (a bit suspicious argument if you ask me).

Disinfo mole? Like in conspiracy documentary? Can you explain it?

From my point of view it is a pity that the second edition is still too much biased as the first edition and it's probably not optimal for mainstream audience (it starts with northwoods, etc.)

I always loved the pod theory. I never knew that wheel wells were actually missile pods.

Seems the page stopped responding.

Not to sound paraniod in anyway, and I'm sure it's coincidental but amusing nonetheless....
I had more downtime trying to research this stuff than any other time I've ever been in the internet.
At one point for over 3 hrs, Google would only respond to my searches with "There's been an error...."
It'll start messing with your head, considering what you're looking up.

I'm not one to argue for the sake of it like some but....

I dont know what lamp post's (light poles) are made of in the US but over here they a f'kin heavy duty , I would suspect that they would do considerable damage to a aluminium skinned object of any sort.

Surely hitting more than one light poles would alter or change the course of the plane slightly, maybe even bring it down after hitting several, It may of still hit the pentagon but only after hitting the deck first and sliding into it, just an observation.

And if it was travelling as fast and as low as reported then it would of moved lighter pieces of traffic on the road it flew over would it not? and by moved I mean blown over/off road. How loud are 4 engines that size flat out? enough to damage everyone in the close vacinity's hearing? traffic controllers and the like wear ear defenders when shuffling planes around on the ground! are there any links to reports of above events?

They're simply aluminum. The total weight of the pole including the base and equipment inside it is about 250 pounds. You're talking a 200,000 pound airplane, travelling at 500 mph, vs a 250 pound pole designed to shear off it something hits it. It's not going to knock the plane off course if it hits it. If the wing hits it then it will cause some damage, but it's not going to yank the plane off course.
