I thought the most pervasive truther rant was in relation to the Pentagon, claiming that nobody ever saw a plane there or something.

To me the most absurd argument is that the twin towers were rigged to fall. As if being struck by a jumbo jet wouldn't be enough to bring down any office building.

I guess in answer to the OP, my real answer is, I can't explain them to you. :P But I'd love to see someone really carefully outline their arguments and either debunk them or explain where there are reasonable question marks.

Yeah people somehow expect that a plane crashing into a massive building at 400 miles per hour would just crumple up + explode exactly like a cartoon or something. It's bizarre.

If I remember correctly they were basing it on some low security cam like 30 feet from the point of impact, and all you could see on it was a blur. OMG Missile attack!

There's also the fact that the hole in the Pentagon is circular instead of somehow being like a cartoon cut out of a plane.

Oh... you mean like in this awesome TV show that I really truly honestly did not make up?

Sorry... couldn't resist the reference, it fits the absurdity of the truther argument though.
