He didn't say it was conspiracy but he sured did say everything that the conspiracy theorists argue.
There are plenty of architects who claim that the conspiracy theorists are smoking fucking crack. What happened on 9/11 was a tragic fucking attack on our nation. Enough with this fucking bullshit, see you next week when you say JFK was killed by the Illuminati.

Fine. The WTC attacks were a fucking hoax. The government wired the elevator shafts of the twin towers, with over 5000 employees onsight, meanwhile also wired the meaningless building 7 that no one knew about until it fell on national television the evening of 9/11, so that they could draw the attention of conspiracy theorists. They did this so we could invade Afghanistan, and conduct a global war on terrorism that has cost the US over 3500 lives after the fact. Hundreds CIA agents, NSA agents, military intelligence, State department intelligence, the National Security Advisor, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Justice Department lawyers, the White House Council, National Security Council, and FBI were all involved.
The architects are 100% right.

Regardless of whether you believe it's a conspiracy or not, the fact that WTC 7 was completely ignored in the 9/11 Commission should outrage every person with an ounce of intellect, and demand that a legitimate explanation be given.
At least then the "official explanation" will be that the terrorists were far more advanced than most are willing to admit and had the capacity to wire bombs into the buildings. Fine, even if it's bullshit, at least an explanation will be given.
Arguing that the building fell naturally makes anyone look like a fucking moron.

Fair enough. However, what I find ridiculous, is that people can watch that video and not question how that building fell.
Let's assume that we go with the theory posted earlier, that the load bearing supports of WTC7 were damaged because of the other towers falling - debris, impact, fire, etc - fair enough reason.
Now, what kind of odds are there that every single load bearing support gives way at the exact same time to allow the building to collapse in upon itself, rather than if only the west wing caved, and it fell to one direction more so. Think about it. Probability-wise, that would never fucking happen. I can't understand how people are so easy to accept that maybe something that had almost no chance of happening just coincidentally happened on a day when a bunch of completely fucked up shit happened.

From saysmydoctor's link from above:
Some people have said that a failure at one column should not have produced a symmetrical fall like this one. What’s your answer to those assertions?
WTC 7’s collapse, viewed from the exterior (most videos were taken from the north), did appear to fall almost uniformly as a single unit. This occurred because the interior failures that took place did not cause the exterior framing to fail until the final stages of the building collapse. The interior floor framing and columns collapsed downward and pulled away from the exterior frame. There were clues that internal damage was taking place, prior to the downward movement of the exterior frame, such as when the east penthouse fell downward into the building and windows broke out on the north face at the ends of the building core. The symmetric appearance of the downward fall of the WTC 7 was primarily due to the greater stiffness and strength of its exterior frame relative to the interior framing.

Is it possible that thermite or thermate contributed to the collapse of WTC 7?
NIST has looked at the application and use of thermite and has determined that its use to sever columns in WTC 7 on 9/11/01 was unlikely.
Thermite is a combination of aluminum powder and a metal oxide that releases a tremendous amount of heat when ignited. It is typically used to weld railroad rails together by melting a small quantity of steel and pouring the melted steel into a form between the two rails.
To apply thermite to a large steel column, approximately 0.13 lb of thermite would be needed to heat and melt each pound of steel. For a steel column that weighs approximately 1,000 lbs. per foot, at least 100 lbs. of thermite would need to be placed around the column, ignited, and remain in contact with the vertical steel surface as the thermite reaction took place. This is for one column … presumably, more than one column would have been prepared with thermite, if this approach were to be used.
It is unlikely that 100 lbs. of thermite, or more, could have been carried into WTC 7 and placed around columns without being detected, either prior to Sept. 11 or during that day.
Given the fires that were observed that day, and the demonstrated structural response to the fires, NIST does not believe that thermite was used to fail any columns in WTC 7.
Analysis of the WTC steel for the elements in thermite/thermate would not necessarily have been conclusive. The metal compounds also would have been present in the construction materials making up the WTC buildings, and sulfur is present in the gypsum wallboard used for interior partitions.

On a logical level, no. When you make an argument, you should provide some sort of proof: proof generally being empirical evidence or some sort or reasoning. Merely pointing to the opinion of an expert does not count as proof because experts can be wrong. Just because one is an expert of a field doesn't make them infallible in that field.

An expert is more often to be right than the average joe in his area of expertise but the actual validity or soundness of an argument cannot depend on expertise. For example, if a Harvard Ph. D. states x is true, when x is actually false then x is false regardless of him being an expert.

how would this info be anymore useful than the tons and tons of information we already have on building demolitions? Buildings falling down is a fairly common thing. Even if you want to go the route of 9/11 being unique because of the situation and whatnot, we still have a lot of research on the manner.
I don't think the claims of experts should be immediately dismissed by people who don't have a lot of knowledge about engineering, architecture, and demolition by simply saying "it's riducilous and stupid."
The dismissals are because you guys aren't arguing the claims of experts. You just found people who agree with your side and are pointing to them to show that you're right.

And information on the building collapses would be useful because it might show where the weakpoints were on the buildings, and maybe show what we could do to prevent a collapse like this again. I don't understant why an investigation would be completely useless. There's nothing wrong with new information.

Are you bothering to read anything at all?
Anyone, regardless of intelligence as long as they're literate, can point to the opinion of an "expert" and say "omg i'm right." What requires intelligence is processing the information an "expert" gives you and repeating it in your own words so that you can argue their position with someone else. All you guys are really doing is pointing out that there are experts who think like you do. Cool. We already knew that.
But, you're not actually arguing their points in a way that has any backing.
Well, what are you an expert at, calling people an idiot and dismissing things for no good reason?
yeah, actually. though i haven't really dismissed anything. i just said you're not proving anything by saying experts exist. cool.
And information on the building collapses would be useful because it might show where the weakpoints were on the buildings, and maybe show what we could do to prevent a collapse like this again.
how does this differ from every other collapse ever? how does is this info unique from what we could have already derived from an understanding of physics and engingeering?
I don't understant why an investigation would be completely useless. There's nothing wrong with new information.
I don't think it would really give us new information, hence my questions.
The only bad thing that would come from it is that it would get these crazy conspiracy idiots going crazy thinking that we are going to find aliens controlling our country and attacking our own people, or some stupid shit like that.
This would happen.

Nobody has ever believed that just because someone was in a situation, that their recollection/perspective is infallible. 9/11 was insanely stressful for those firefighters, emotions were running high, nobody knew what the fuck was going on, i think those factors make it pretty easy for their making a mistake.

Are you bothering to read anything at all?
Anyone, regardless of intelligence as long as they're literate, can point to the opinion of an "expert" and say "omg i'm right." What requires intelligence is processing the information an "expert" gives you and repeating it in your own words so that you can argue their position with someone else. All you guys are really doing is pointing out that there are experts who think like you do. Cool. We already knew that.
But, you're not actually arguing their points in a way that has any backing.
yeah, actually. though i haven't really dismissed anything. i just said you're not proving anything by saying experts exist. cool.
how does this differ from every other collapse ever? how does is this info unique from what we could have already derived from an understanding of physics and engingeering?

Apparently the general thought as to why the buildings fell is that it was a combination of jet fuel and office fires that burned hot enough to melt to the steel. Well, neither jet fuel nor office fires are supposed to be able to possibly burn that hot. So maybe an investigation is necessary to see exactly how the buildings fell. You say that it's the same as other collapses but what other collapses were caused by fucking airplanes crashing into buildings? If the investigation shows that the fires were indeed hot enough to melt the steel then it could be useful for fire safety construction purposes. If the fires are found to not be the cause, but explosives were, then it would be useful to know how terrorists infiltrated security to plant explosives, for future terrorist prevention. It would suck to have crazy conspiracy theorists having orgasms over this investigation for a while, but when the cause does not back their theories they might shut up.

You're completely disregarding anything anyone says. I never said the firefighters weren't credible. I said that it's possible that they could be wrong, then posted an article out of a book, a video and an article talking about the same sorts of things, as well as tried to explain it. Your response was something a 10 year old could make.
Considering there's tons of cases where people think they've been robbed/raped/whatever by the wrong person, or got key elements of a crime they witnessed completely wrong, it's logical to say that merely being in a place for something doesn't make you right.
Do i think they're wrong? meh, who cares? You just haven't given an argument besides "look i can find someone on the internet who agrees with what i'm saying".

Our government is controlled by Human/Reptile hybrids called Reptilians who are bent on global domination.
Here's proof:

you're very smart but i'll listen to the AIA over any ap.net member.haha it's not like i'm quoting a bunch of amatuers. I'd say the NIST is just as, if not more credible than AIA.

If the guy is right about 700 architecs and engineers wanting an investigation then I would like to see an investigation too. I'm not blaming the government or the FBI, but it would be nice to know how this happened exactly, considering it is one of the most important events in our country's history.There has been an investigation and those questions I'm quoting are from that said investigation.
I wonder if there is a list somewhere with architects and engineers that think this is all a bunch of bologna, and if they outnumber the people who believe in this conspiracy.
