9/11

If we can also rule out controlled demolition, we will, in fact, have proven that the towers are still standing.

OK, so the argument now is that there was a guy sitting around waiting for the top part of the towers to collapse, so that the charges could be set of at the exact time the tons of concrete and steel fell on the weak point of a damaged structure?

Brilliant.

Fisherking, if there were a controlled demolition then where were the charges placed, such that they could lead to the collapse as it occurred?

I don’t insist that controlled demolition is the only way they could have collapsed. I just see it as the most likely cause in light of what we have to go on.

The government’s report stopped with the collapse of the upper floors onto the lower floors. That report was flawed and the assumptions based on it were proved inaccurate.
NIST has refused all FOIA requests for more information, preventing more detailed analysis.

If there is some other cause it needs to be discovered, which requires more study.

I have repeatedly linked to an overview of the peer reviewed papers written on the topic.

That shows that there is a shift of consensus in the engineering community that find controlled demolition as the more likely explanation of the buildings coming down.

It is not a problem that can be swept under the rug and forgotten, as every new building that goes up needs to address those very possibilities.

This is all just an updated version of the magic bullet theory. Everyone can see it is a lie but they won’t challenge anyone on it for fear of ridicule.

Face it, most of you only know what the media reported. The upper floors fell onto the lower floors causing a complete collapse of the buildings. You don’t know enough of building design or physics to say otherwise and you surely don’t want to be ridiculed, so you accept an implausible explanation at face value and carry the water for those who lied to you. You won’t question authority because it is uncomfortable. Congratulations. Your faith in government out weighs any inconvenient facts.

I’m done.

Going through the thread, I found a bunch of youtube videos that featured crude drawings and conspiracy sites; I don't think you know what "peer-reviewed" means.
