The following associations and organizations all feel that the ideas esposed by 9-11 Truth regarding the collapses of the World Trace Center towers, are crap: the Structural Engineers Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers American Institute of Steel Construction American Concrete Institute the National Fire Protection Association Society of Fire Protection Engineers National Institute of Standards and Technology Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat Structural Engineers Association of New York these are the experts.
The experts are clear as day: The WTC towers collapsed due to impact damage, fire, weakened steel, and gravity.
I went to each of their websites and found no recent papers from any of them that back up your claim. Can you link to their current stance on 9/11 truth? New evidence was recently found that NIST lied in their report on Building 7 when they claimed that column 79, the first column that they claim failed, was unrestrained when in fact it was restrained which invalidates NIST's entire theory of WTC 7 building collapse. Any paper you present should be within the last year or so. Link please.
Truthers spend a lot of time claiming they have facts and evidence but all of their bogus claims have been shown to be false, time and time again. There is good reason that no matter how hard they try, they can't convince the world that 09/11 was a conspiracy; the scientific community doesn't even take them seriously. All they do is convince themselves of a conspiracy. I have asked this question and seldom do they take it head on - Why did our government decide to bring down a US landmark like the Twin Towers and kill 3,000 Americans? There really is no sane answer to this question.
Soooooooooo if I read your post right, the US should start a war on gravity - - - Updated - - - Why - regardless if a paper was written a month after the event or 5 years or 12 years it makes no difference. Mechanical engineering and physics have not changed in that time. You are simply creating a dodge to their opinion and we all know it
Newton's laws are not man made laws. Newton observed nature and wrote down how objects behave in nature. His laws of motion have been proven right for 326 years. Feel free to prove him wrong if you can.
The real experts in the fields of engineering and architecture are clear: 9-11 Truth is one big fat FAIL
Per your own standards: provide proof NIST made the claim, then prove it wrong. Finally, provide evidence that NIST made the claim knowing that it was wrong. Cite your sources.
Here is the why: 9/11 Pentagon Attack - Behind the Smoke Curtain - Barbara Honegger Truther claims have not been shown to be false, time and time again. There is a lot of denial going on but many claims of the truthers are solid truth. The scientific community is taking truthers serious worldwide.
there is no evidence of any explosives at the WTC towers. no physical evidence whatsoever. this is one example of a 9-11 Truth claim that is a massive FAIL
Even truthers consider Honegger a "a comet-riding psychic moonbat in the employ of the US military pushing among the worst 9/11 theories." http://frustratingfraud.blogspot.com/2006/12/barbara-psychic-munchkin.html
That debunker website is old news from 2006. Honegger gave a speech in January 2013 and it was well received. I see that you are still stuck on ridicule in an attempt to discredit the messenger rather than listen to the message.
That's not a debunker website. It is a truther website. And Honegger has not managed to go back in time and undo the decades of insane moonbattery that render her opinions on most subjects worthy of little more than a face palm. Not by anybody who was not already well down the rabbit hole of truther credulity. As Thomas Jefferson wrote, "Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions."
