What you said is not factual.


Over the last few years, I've met more than a few people who were either
witnesses to the attacks or who helped reconstruct the whole thing.

On the other hand, you (the crazy person) have a few Web sites written
by other crazy people, and one "scientific" paper that you yourself
admit wasn't even peer reviewed (after falsely claiming that it was).



Read Dr Jones paper and show why his facts do not apply:
http://www.physics.byu.edu/research/energy/htm7.html


Dr Jones isn't a structural engineer, he isn't a civil engineer; he's a
researcher in alterative energy sources. You demand qualifications from us but
ignore Dr. Jones' lack of qualifications and at the same time handwave away
statements from his own boss and the civil engineering department at his own
college.

The BYU physics department has issued a statement: "The university is
aware that Professor Steven Jones's hypotheses and interpretations of evidence
regarding the collapse of World Trade Center buildings are being questioned by a
number of scholars and practitioners, including many of BYU's own faculty
members. Professor Jones's department and college administrators are not
convinced that his analyses and hypotheses have been submitted to relevant
scientific venues that would ensure rigorous technical peer review."

The chairman of the BYU department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Dr.
Miller, is on record stating "I think without exception, the structural
engineering professors in our department are not in agreement with the claims
made by Jones in his paper, and they don't think there is accuracy and validity
to these claims."
