GOP CONGRESSMAN SEES THE LIGHT!!!

[Ballbarian]

Well, I did read it and probably the most telling piece is the following:

Here is an e-mail from Chief Daniel Nigro

Regarding WTC 7: The long-awaited US Government NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) report on the collapse of WTC 7 is due to be published at the end of this year (although it has been delayed already a few times [ adding fuel to the conspiracy theorists fires!]). That report should explain the cause and mechanics of the collapse in great detail. Early on the afternoon of September 11th 2001, following the collapse of WTC 1 & 2, I feared a collapse of WTC 7 (as did many on my staff).

The reasons are as follows:

1 - Although prior to that day high-rise structures had never collapsed, The collapse of WTC 1 & 2 showed that certain high-rise structures subjected to damage from impact and from fire will collapse.

2. The collapse of WTC 1 damaged portions of the lower floors of WTC 7.

3. WTC 7, we knew, was built on a small number of large columns providing an open Atrium on the lower levels.

4. numerous fires on many floors of WTC 7 burned without sufficient water supply to attack them.

For these reasons I made the decision (without consulting the owner, the mayor or anyone else - as ranking fire officer, that decision was my responsibility) to clear a collapse zone surrounding the building and to stop all activity within that zone. Approximately three hours after that order was given, WTC 7 collapsed.

It wasn't controlled. It was abandoned to prevent losing more firefighters.

I suggest you notify Dutch demolitions expert Danny Jowenko that his conclusion that the demolition was controlled is erroneous.

That article makes a thorough hash of the controlled explosion theories and points out some of the reasons why the towers collapsed the way they did.

Jowenko might be in the explosives and demolitions business, but he is not infallible and since he seems to be the ONLY source the 911 Truther movement uses for their claims of controlled demolition, his testimony is suspect at best. The problem with trying to find anything other than Truther bull**** is considerable, because almost everything that comes up is conspiracy theories.

And the comments section of that article makes a thorough hash of the lame attempt to explain away the collapse.

So the hundreds of architects and engineers who are members of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth somehow don't count by your reckoning?
