I never saw it before and I have since watched other videos and have determined the rubble at the bottom does not match the mass that used to be up top.

How would you know that?

Despite their physical size, the truth is that the vast majority of the space inside a massive building like the World Trade Center towers is exactly that -- space. I've seen an estimate that the solid mass of the WTC towers -- including concrete, steel, interior walls, furniture, and occupants -- comprised an absolute maximum of no more than 12% of the cubic space enclosed by the buildings.

465,000 cubic yards of concrete
200,000 tons of steel
five million square feet of dry wall
43,600 windows (400,000 square feet of glass)
6 acres of marble (weird stat, if you ask me)

My basic attitude toward the general subject is:

Given that I don't know the first thing about engineering,metallurgy,physics,etc I'd look to the experts in matters of this sort.I see MIT and Cal Tech as being the two top "engineering" schools in the world.And there can be no doubt that the typical faculty member at these schools is no friend of Republicans.So,if these faculty members were to conclude that W and his aides,Republicans all,were lying about the events of 9/11 (and thereafter) these professors would have taken out full page ads in the NY Times and Washington Post,stating in no uncertain terms,that the Republicans were lying.And each professor would have personally signed that statement.

No such ad was ever published by either school in either paper.

So,if for no other reason than that lack of ads,I'm prepared to accept that the "official" version of 9/11 is accurate to the degree that scientific knowledge is able to determine facts.
