Watch the hour long google video above. It's the second updated version of the film called "Loose Change" and its rocking the internet world. Loose Change is a film about the conspiracy theories surrounding the 9/11 event that terrorised New York City and the World. If you don't speak English, don't fret you can get it in various languages here like French, Chinese, Korean, German...

I think the earlier version of this film was aired on Channel 10 earlier this year on late night TV. Anyhow, its a great film... if you're into conspiracy theories and the like.

Question everything.

The video's creators were profiled by Vanity magazine in a recent article.

The video consiracy theory documentary raises such questions like:

What, for example, were the explosions some witnesses heard after the towers were hit by planes? Why was the site of the collapse not treated as a crime scene, and why was the debris shipped off as waste to several foreign countries?

Why were the black boxes from American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 never found, when the passport of one of Flight 11's alleged hijackers, Satam Al Suqami, turned up unscathed a few blocks from the World Trade Center?

How did American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon, disappear into a 20-foot hole, leaving no trace of its 124-foot wingspan on the building? And what's with all the forewarnings that the government ignored?

And the second version only cost $6,000 to make. What an achievement.

Undoubtedly what has put Loose Change ahead of the pack of 9/11 conspiracy fare is that it's a pretty watchable movie—especially considering it cost $2,000 and was made on Avery's Compaq Presario laptop. "I saved money serving ice cream at Friendly's," Avery says. He never attended college himself and was rejected from Purchase Film College twice.

Loose Change: 2nd Edition (which has additional footage Avery bought on eBay) cost about $6,000 to make, money he saved while working at a Red Lobster and a Starbucks in Silver Springs, Maryland, where he moved in 2004 to "get out of Oneonta." In 2005 he moved back to his hometown.

And now Avery, a South Park–watching, video-game-writing, self-described "nerd," has become an Internet folk hero—at least for many young people, for whom 9/11 is the defining news event of their lives. "This is our generation's Kennedy assassination," says Rowe.
