Best Actress Denies 9/11
Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard revealed herself to be a conspiracy theory-spouting wing-nut in an interview from 2007 that was rebroadcast over the weekend. The interview was largely ignored when it first came out, but now that she's winning awards people are very interested in the fact that she thinks the collapse of the World Trade Center was orchestrated in order to save the owners the expense of modernizing the buildings, as well as to make some sort of political point? It's hard to really tell what she's thinking, as her tinfoil hat clearly needs reshaping in order to receive a clearer signal from her home planet, Deludatron. From yesterday's
Daily Mail:
"We see other towers of the same kind being hit by planes. Are they burned? They [sic] was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, which burnt for 24 hours. It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there [in New York], in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed."
She added that the towers, planned in the early Sixties, were an outdated "money-sucker" that would have cost more to modernise than to rebuild altogether, which is why they were destroyed.
She said: "It was a money-sucker because they were finished, it seems to me, by 1973, and to re-cable all that, to bring up-to-date all the technology and everything, it was a lot more expensive, that work, than destroying them."
