Virgin Atlantic Flights Offer 9/11 Conspiracy Video

[Matt Molnar]

Currently listed on Virgin Atlantic's inflight entertainment webpage (http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/us/whatsonboard/inflightentertainment/tv/documentarylisting.jsp), Loose Change 2. This is the follow up to the infamous bit of idiot propaganda called Loose Change, which brings up several points of contention popular among the conspiracy theorists and then uses quotes from newspapers taken out of context (without interviewing any experts) to make the conspiracy ideas true. It concludes the entire operation was a diversion used so that Bush & Co. could steal $160 billion worth of gold (which no one knew existed) from the lower levels of the World Trade Center.

In case they remove it due to complaints as I hope they do, here's a screenshot:

Wow, But you know, if I expected one person to do this, it would have to be SRB!

What scares me is that this is just an example of a trend that has been building for some time now to move along and view 9/11 as a 'historical event' and not something that affected real people and is still affecting many today. It's just a matter of time before the commercialization of fictional 9/11-based action movies and such with factually inaccurate stories they will market as 'ripped from the headlines.' I'm all for free speech but I question the wisdom of showing Loose Change on an airline. Wonder if SRB would be so keen to show it to his pax if it was his planes that had gone into the towers, or those of his Asian partners.

I would have expected something better than this from an airline, let alone VS. :roll:

I don't think it's even worth it to debate the accuracy of these conspiracy theories.

Yes, because it was SRB's decision to put the movie on the list. I kind of doubt he wastes his time doing that when there is a team of people responsible for in flight entertainment in Virgin Atlantic itself.

But nevertheless he'll hear about it soon. Perhaps if they're going to include the movie they should put United 93 next to it, a very heart-wrenching movie about what really happened.
