It's absurd, for a whole host of reasons. One, remotely controlled from where? Two, the planes were taken over by hijackers, as the passengers themselves reported on their phones. Three, it would entail a conspiracy of ludicrous proportions. Four, there is no evidence of any kind to support it. Five, the official statement of the government is that it was hijackers. Six, you can't remotely control a plane with that degree of precision. Seven, why would they be remotely controlled, when it would be simpler and easier to hijack them and fly them manually.
Your problem, like so many other people these days, is that you lack the background knowledge, education and intelligence to apply common sense to these kinds of questions. As a consequence you arrive at absurd conclusions. Take the comedian, Owen Benjamin. He seriously believes the world is flat, and that America never put men on the moon. He believes these things, and he is not conscious of how absurd he sounds, because he just doesn't have the background knowledge to realize it. He is constantly patting himself on the back for his "high IQ" and he believed utter absurdities.
Why would you trust anything the government says at this point?
There's plenty of evidence for the events that happened not matching up to the official story. What was most convincing for me at first was the architects & engineers for 9/11 truth video where a team of structural engineers critiqued the 9/11 commission's report on building 7. There are many experts who dispute the official accounts, and building 7 is one of the most clear-cut cases of government lies. That building should not have collapsed from the small amount of damage it sustained, and yet it did in a very controlled demolition-looking fashion. If they lied about this one building, what else did they lie about?
Your whole argument is based on appeal to authority-- "you don't know enough about it, so rely on the word of those who do". That only works when authority can be trusted. On this topic, and many more, I simply cannot trust the word of the US government. They've been caught in too many lies.
