blanco, mit is certainly not beyond reproach, i thought everyone knew that the corporate military industrial complex is deeply embedded in funding and control of research at mit. I'm not dismissing it, the article just doesn't stand on its own, and motives are easily questioned. It's a very well written piece i must admit, i'd say slick even.
the article produced by that professor ignores some key points.
1. the fires could not weaken the truss clips in under 2 hours for they were embedded in concrete, he admits that the fires were not very hot noting the black smoke but omits info about the concrete.
apparently there is almost no chance of the steel weakening enough in this time (because of the construction redundancy) for the fire to contribute to a total collapse indeed, fires burned on the 11th floor in 1975 for 3 hours with no structural damage to the steel at all

2. he addresses the speed of fall but ignores the strength of the core, where did the core go during the collapse? the core beams should resist crumbling but somehow did not. the byu professor Jones does a much better job explaining why the rate of descent should be slower.
3. he ignores the collapse from center of the north tower in under 2 hours, why would the antenna drop into the tower before anything else moved?
4. he says there is no evidence of molten steel or burning steel when that is simply not true. omition is a key tactic of misinformation.
ant10708- that was a person standing in the hole.. how would a headless person(as you say) stand there and grip the edge anyway?
regarding keeping 9-11 as an inside job hush hush, its a matter of cognitave dissonance.. there is a built in resistance to questioning our government that results in a faithful blindness keeping the questions down. the idea that if you question the bush admin you are not patriotic keeps many folks away from these issues and is very very strong. As geggy calls it a psy op, it is an attack on an ideology or emotion that is mentally hard to untangle or challenge. checkout:
