Sigh.
Just click a few tiles on the page that lists their signers. I did and these are but three.
Harry Robinson III - Professor and Dean Emeritus, School of Architecture and Design, Howard University. Principal, TRG Consulting Global/Architecture, Urban Design, Planning, Project Strategies. Past president, NCARB and NAAB
Eason Cross - Phillips Academy, Harvard College, Harvard GSD Chas. M. Goodman Associate, Partner Cross and Adreon 1962-1987. Cross Assoc. 1987-. Fellow AIA, National Honor Awards from AIA and AISC, VA Society AIA Noland Medalist 84, father of four, grandfather of four. See Who's Who in America.
Cynthia Howard - I have a Masters in Architecture from MIT & Harvard. My private practice since 1978 includes serving as preservation planning consultant for the Boston Redevelopment Authority, HUD, 42nd Street Redevelopment. I am registered in Massachusetts, Maine, and New York. My practice has concentrated on new and renovated coastal homes, and the restoration and adaptive reuse of historic buildings in coast and mill communities. I've served as board member for the Boston Society of Architects, as board member and President of AIA Maine, and as President of AIA New England.
Architects don't do STRUCTURAL CALCULATION that's the job of STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS guess who their best customers are, that's right ARCHITECTS.
Structural engineers who I visit on an almost daily basis get requests ALL the time for calculations a lot are for just single beams for house extensions from architects.
I have YET to meet a STRUCTURAL ENGINEER that thinks any of that was a demolition job.

You decided to call me truther, then I decide to call you a liar.
It looks like a controlled demo and he said they pulled it. He didn't say to pull them (the firemen) of, did he?
Listen again:
You know the difference, my dear weapon of mass deflection. Do you?
And by the way... did you see the missing study regarding the core-collapse of those two WTC-buildings?

There is no doubt he didn't mean pull anyone out. He has claimed numerous times that it was a controlled collapse to minimize casualties and property damage.

Being a proper ATS member AND a fortean, I can fully believe that is was caused by our former alien allies, whom got disgruntled by our attempts to brake former agreements.

But one thing is sure: these 3 Towers weren't brought down by planes that flew into them or chunks of other buildings that fell on them. There simply was not enough kinetic energy available to destruct the building like that.

The fires were being starved of oxygen soon after the planes hit, so there were no fires on the lower floors. How did all that structural steel melt below the impact zone?
Seismic design relies on modelling, risk analysis and changes to the structural stiffness. Wind design relies on additional structural members and wind tunnel tests. Current fire design relies on very simple, single element tests and adding insulating material to the frame. Thermal induced forces are not calculated or designed for

The poster I responded to said just that. Firetruck "flipped on its side" and crew killed. You know how heavy a firetruck is?

it may have been rigged with explosives, way before 9/11. This is a fairly common practice in some countries, even during peace time, e.g. Switzerland.
FDNY / major of NY decided to "pull" the building; to prevent further loss of life

This video has numerous engineers, architects, and demolition employees from Controlled Demo inc. claim it was a controlled demolition.
Millions of people know it was a controlled collapse, Professionals agree.
