I’ll take a wild guess that a Government report won’t placate the 9-11 naysayers.
It would be on CNN and half hour either.
Sure it will. Everyone knows that Dick and George set the charges that started the fire. This just supports the theory.
The first rule of believing in conspiracy theories is that all evidence contrary to the theory is manufactured. The second rule is that evidence that seems to support the conspiracy theory but is then shown to rule the theory out or not support it will continue to be cited as support. For example, the famous “Pull it” quote from the WTC 7 conspiracy theory.
I’ve seen it with people who think the moon landing was faked, I’ve seen it here on Flight 800 threads.

I’ve seen it with people who think the moon landing was faked, I’ve seen it here on Flight 800 threads. And of course, UFO devotees...if the government shows a flight log that prves a “UFO” was a C-130 dropping flares, the flight log is “obviously” forged as part of the government UFO conspiracy.
No it won't, not by a longshot. Trutherism is a quasi-religion, and the tower 7 fiasco is what set it off.
I’m not interested in the truthers’ theories. I found this part of the FAQ to be an eye-opener:
Does this mean there are hundreds or thousands of unsafe tall buildings with long span supports that must be retrofitted in some way? How would you retrofit a building to prevent this problem?
While the partial or total collapse of a tall building due to fires is a rare event, NIST strongly urges building owners, operators, and designers to evaluate buildings to ensure the adequate fire performance of structural systems. Of particular concern are the effects of thermal expansion in buildings with one or more of the following characteristics: long-span floor systems, connections that cannot accommodate thermal effects, floor framing that induces asymmetric forces on girders, and composite floor systems, whose shear studs could fail due to differential thermal expansion (i.e., heat-induced expansion of material at different rates). Engineers should be able to design cost-effective fixes to address any areas of concern identified by such evaluations.
No, the 9-11 naysayers won’t be placated and here’s why: the government has not been truthful on other incidents, so why should anyone believe them?
Anything the government does in the way of an investigation will be tainted by politics. That’s just a fact.
Not even close. Their whole argument is based on the premise that fire cannot melt steel. Even though they use fire to make steel and had to use Ceramic composite to protect the space shuttle not steel.
