A lingering technical question about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks still haunts some, and it has political implications: How did 200,000 tons of steel disintegrate and drop in 11 seconds? A thousand architects and engineers want to know, and are calling on Congress to order a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 at the World Trade Center.

You must NOT be working with steel then. /s
I said Marine Biologist, not Whale, lol!
No joke, what in the world are they doing hiring this truther reporter Jennifer Harper who is too lazy to do something as simple as fact check the reality of why thermite was there (welding or cutting) or the engineers who have shown that there is nothing unusual about how the buildings came down. Another lazy reporter who probably just copied a Alex Jones article.
I am not a member of “Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth”. However, I am a Registered Professional Structural Engineer (see my profile if you have questions) and the report on what happened seemed perfectly correct to me. The people who say “jet fuel cannot melt steel, so the buildings shouldn’t have collapsed” are idiots.

no wonder all the “steel factories” moved overseas. They weren’t making anything there.
Answer: 20,000 tons of steel dropped a couple stories will "pancake" the 80,000 tons of lacy framework below it in, oh, about 11 seconds. The latter is not made to withstand twenty thousand tons impacting, and accumulating, with an acceleration of 32ft/sec^2 with a 50-ft start.
Duh. Don't make me work out the math of how fast that 20,000 tons was moving at first impact. And never mind how that 20,000 ton initial impact mass grows to quickly exceed the mass below it.
Abuse report hit. Truther posting bot.
It was a JH column. See below:
Along with writing the Inside the Beltway column six days a week, Jennifer Harper also covers media issues, public opinion, quirky celebrity and Americana for The Washington Times.
What in the heck is the Washington Times doing running it?
Why the heck is this on FR NEWS?
Because they haven’t stood there and seen the devestation. Our fellow humans are such distractable creatures.
Maybe we should contact the VanB boys? Just don’t forget to flash the secret sign.
Mr. Gage, who is a member of the American Institute of Architects, managed to persuade more than 1,000 of his peers to sign a new petition requesting a formal inquiry.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Does anyone know much about this organization?
If 1000 licensed and registered architects, and professional engineers feel there were internal explosions, then I ( personally) am willing to give them a chance to present and explain their argument.
And..NO, NO, NO, I do not believe our own government plotted to bring down the towers.
don’t forget the handy dandy flight data recorder and navigational beacon they strapped to that “missle”. Though, my personal favorite touch was how “they” took the time to paint “American Airlines” on the “missle” before launching it. Classy, that
(Sorry my sarcasm meter is stuck in the red right now)
zot
Non-responsive ‘truther’ zot. Never responds, just posts.
It was an amzing effort, no? I mean, to make a missile which looked exactly like an American Airlines 757-223.
My prediction:
As the birther issue heats up and gains momentum we will see more and more truther stories.
The Marxist propaganda plan is to conflate birthers( most who have some really legitimate questions) with thruthers ( who really are nutz!)
