Quote:Uhh that's not a scientific journal at all.  It's a news magazine, not a scientific journal.  And even they put a little disclamer at the top stating "This feature is somewhat different from our usual purely scientific articles, in that it contains some speculation. However, given the timing and the importance of the issue, we consider that this feature is sufficiently technical and interesting to merit publication for our readers. Obviously, the content of this article is the responsibility of the authors."  

 

Furthermore, all the members of that little study were 9/11 truthers.  People who came to the conclusion, then tried to make the facts fit that conclusion--which is exactly NOT how a science should work.

 

But no, we should just accept that physics--which I'm sure most people reading the article have barely taken a class in--was the only evidence of this being a controlled demolition left behind in a massive conspiracy and assume that it was a controlled demolition.  Nevermind how the government got thousands of pounds of explosives into the buildings to bring them down--all without any of the thousands of people who worked there noticing.  Not to mention the number of people who took the explosives in (and if you think the people at the top of this conspiracy did it themselves, then I've got an invisible unicorn to sell you) and none of them--not a single one, has come out and admitted it.  out of what... fear of death?  Not one of them has enough of a conscience to pull a Snowden, and leave the country then tell people "AMERICA DID IT!"  I'm sure several countries would gladly grant them asylum.  Oh but I'm sure they're all dead too or something.  Somehow there's absolutely no other evidence, and the government behind this conspiracy didn't somehow think this would be a problem.  They managed to cover every other conceivable detail.

 

The problem?  All of these 'problems' with the physics have been addressed time and time again.  Many of which are addressed with the simple fact that these truthers like to omit details that are inconvenient to their story.  Such as the fact that the plane debris stripped away most of the fireproofing, and that design of the towers was different from the typical skyrise.  

 

Find some REAL evidence that the towers were brought down by controlled demolition.  Find an Edward Snowden or someone like that, then we'll start talking. Instead of... you know, mostly speculative guessing with careful omissions to make everything sound good.
