I'm not one to trumpet conspiracy theories, as most are factless speculations or bigoted fabrications. In this case a Physicist by the name of Steven E Jones, at BYU, has published a
thorough document analysing the available information about the trade center collapses. A proper investigation starts with understanding exactly what happened. Then looks for those who had opportunity (access), the means to make it happen, and the motive -- as in
qui bono (who benefits).
Some start with the motive, asking: Who is benefitting from the "War on Terror"? Benefit is an odd word to use regarding a war that has no forseeable end, but there are parties who benefit. A proper investigation whittles down the list of suspects who are then tracable to possible motives.
Another problem is, who's going to do the investigative work. The US Government has already produced the very investigation that doesn't stand up to reason. And that's where Jones, and others with his qualifications. Back in the day, FR was good at this sort of thing.

the three destroyed New York City buildings were brought down that day by controlled demolition rather than structural failure.Rubbish. Utter rubbish.

I don't have to read that report; I've been reading this same crap on the internet for the last four and a half years.
It's crap.

You didn't even read it.Yes, I did.
And I've read this crap many, many other times.
Controlled demolition? This shows a deliberate and abject IGNORANCE of how controlled demolitions work.
This a-hole would have us believe that NO ONE WOULD NOTICE the weeks of preparation to set up a controlled demolition. NO ONE WOULD NOTICE the miles of wires.
And THE CONTROLLED DEMOLITION devices would survive the impact. I saw the collapses many, many times - and they started at the very point of impact. So not only would the wires, devices and charges have to survive the impact, BUT THE HIJACKERS AND THE DEMOLITION EXPERTS WOULD HAVE HAD TO COORDINATE WHERE THE PLANES WERE GONNA HIT IN EACH BUILDING - EVEN THOUGH THEY HIT AT DIFFERENT LEVELS.
Do you really want to embarass yourself by posting this crap here?

Anyway, everybody knows it couldn't have been a controlled demolition.
The Jews in Florida hired the poor unsuspecting Arabs bcause they were mad at Bush because he stole the 2000 election.

Steven E Jones is a nuclear physicist. What does he know about structural engineering? You don't have to heat steel to the melting point, for example, for it to bend or break. All of this has been debunked over and over and over again.
Sorry it is very old news.
