Re: 911 WAS an inside job./The truth about 911

Truthstream, if your theory were true, you could cite at least a few engineers who agree with you. But it looks like you can't get even one!
So
the only people who can figure out the engineering of the fall of the towers are non-engineers! Forum members, welcome to the Bizarro World of the conspiracy theorists...
It took me about ten minutes on the web to find yet
another whole slew of engineers who somehow miss the clues that you--a rank amateur--can see:

But what do
they know?
One example of your blindness (one is enough I'm tired) the last then,
This article is saying that these forensic and scientific organizations were spending their own money to get forensic evidence from the site before it was removed.
WHY?
Because it was as they say disappearing quickly without a trace yet it was EVIDENCE being removed from the scene of a crime, for this reason there had been no money for an investigation as there always usually is with any national disaster.
It goes on to say that their efforts had been for naught as it says that they were cooperating with the FEMA, which is now simply homeland security so forget any independant investigation despite independant funding.
The follow up link is then a dead one too. So your point is?

Engineering Forensics of Collapse
by Michael J. Crosbie
Behind the slowly shrinking heaps of rubble in lower Manhattan and Arlington, Virginia, a phalanx of forensic engineers, supported by a variety of research grants, is working against the flow of debris as it is carted off to recycling sites and landfills, searching for clues about how three of the largest U.S. buildings were mortally wounded.
Twisted steel, melted insulation, tangled rebar, shards of aircraft fuselage — these artifacts and more might begin to suggest what happened on September 11, 2001 that brought down several buildings at New York's World Trade Center, and left a gruesome gash in the side of the Pentagon.
Research Groups Take Action
The forensic activities are being propelled by research grants from the National Science Foundation, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), and other private and public agencies that have hired engineers and architects to help figure out how the buildings failed.
Working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other structural engineering associations, AISC has formed a task force to investigate the World Trade Center collapse. The ASCE has fielded its own teams of engineers to study what happened at the trade center and the Pentagon.
