There is a film called Oil, Smoke & Mirrors which documents what the producers claim to be an impending peak in global oil production. It has been viewed 750,000 times on Google Video alone.
A number of experts, economists, the UK’s former Environment Minister, Michael Meacher, and Germany’s former Science and Technology Minister, Andreas Von Buelow, share their opinions regarding what sounds like an impending oil crash; and then the producers tie this theory into one of complete global conspiracy to control the last remnants of oil capacity.
To me, the film is woven together in such as way that the topic seems to change from the concept of the world’s increasing oil usage and decreasing supply to more of a Roswell type malicious governmental cover-up.
The producers begin to interject 9/11 conspiracy theory about 20 minutes into the film, and frankly at one point the German Science and Technology Minister sounds like a nut case to me when he states that he decided that the US Government was actually complicit in bringing down the towers.
There are some other comments that are truly ridiculous. For example, two of the speakers in the video question why the twin towers actually collapsed because “fires have burned other buildings without them collapsing”. Hello!?! Those buildings didn’t sustain direct impacts from fully fueled massive aircraft traveling 500 MPH!
Anyway, the film does raise a couple of interesting questions and thoughts to ponder so it seems like something worthy of watching if for no other reason than being well informed.

You seem to be a bit missinformed on this particular segment of the information presented about the collapse of WTC building 1, 2, & 7.
According to a documentary about the construction of the WTC they were designed to sustain multiple impacts from jetliners due to a 47 core collums going through the center of the buildings. NYIST Report states the majority of the jet fuel burned up upon impact. Which leaves a small amount of jet fuel burning less than 2 hours to weaken the structure of the buildings so that they could collapse in less than 12 seconds around the speed of free fall into it’s own footprint. Extremely improbable.
Building 7 was a 42 story building that collapsed in 6.5 seconds it wasn’t even hit by a plane. Yet the closer smaller buildings around the towers didn’t collapse.
The only reason I bring this to your attention is I felt the same way you did about the impact of the planes. It was only after a little bit of research did I discover some details that made little to no sense.
One example is the temperature that jet fuel burns compaired to the temperature that steel melts. (they found molten steel at the bottom of all 3 buildings) jet fuel 1700 degrees fh vs steel 2800 degrees fh. Very strange.
