Since when do the FBI investigate plane crashes? I thought it was the job of The NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board)?!

NIST looked into it (seismic readings). They got professionals to do so. Just because some amateurs feel that the values look high means nothing, do you have any actual evidence?
Wait so you think hearing a loud bang = controlled demolition? That's the only test you need? There are videos of the whole collapse with sound, with no loud bangs. Please tell me how you do a controlled demolition but somehow hold the building up for a while after you destroy the columns?
They tested the minimum possible charge needed to fail a single column IIRC. Something like 2lbs of explosive, not much at all.
Your mistake is thinking that 'loud bang' is any sort of proof of explosive after Two half kilometre tall skyscrapers have just collapsed.
You said you've read the reports, so you already know the answer to this question, unless you were lying about having read them.
It seems this is pretty normal for a FOIA request. I've had to repeatedly push for some of my own over here, haven't had to take out a lawsuit yet but it wouldn't shock me. I certainly don't find it suspicious, do you even know who handles these requests? Secretaries, receptionists, general office workers. Not anyone who would be 'in on it' under even the most extreme scenarios.
I believe they did send each group of data they had through in big chunks. That's certainly what my copies of some of the data seem to indicate.

The FBI investigates crime the NTSB largely investigates accidents.edit on 30/5/12 by exponent because: adding extra answer

You realise that in either situation you are implying, it would still be the FBI in charge right? It was obviously not an accident, therefore it was a crime. That makes it the FBI's responsibility.

The victims knew they were going to die. They realised that they had a choice; either to suffocate/burn to death or leap to their deaths. No human being should have to decide between these two horrors. It is for this reason concerned people demand the truth. You, however, post photos of dumpsters as some weird idea of evidence.
I must say that it's fairly disturbing that you have twisted posting images of crime scene evidence collection into some reprehensible event.
You need to take a step back and look at the scenario neutrally. Photos were posted in response to questions, and the only response to the photos has been denial, not investigation.

The reason I'm suspicious of the authenticity of his sympathy is because he so obviously and naively introduced it as a debating tactic. I do not think that it is impossible to have concern for strangers. I think that using a feigned concern for them in a debate is a low tactic.
You, on the other hand are unable to differentiate between sanctimony and genuine empathy. I'm not surprised.

Exponent, how are people like you and I, or the general public going to know exactly what explosives were used unless NIST test for them?
So you're saying that because the genral public don't know what type of explosives were used, NIST then should not test for them? That's a bit ridiculous isn't it?
Explosions were reported by so many people that NIST should have done a test for them. The exclusion of this test says that NIST deliberately avoided testing for them.
The evidence is in the readings themselves. Amatuers, and professionals both can identify these readings, but for some strange reason you and NIST cannot?
You were the person to call them 'bangs' exponent, everyone else, eye witnesses included called them explosions, people were burnt and blown up by them!
So the fact they actually happened and the fact there are untold videos showing them, and siesmic data matching up to them would suggest that this area definitely needed a closer look. Again, it seems only you and NIST cannot see this!
Well, there were numerous colums that failed simultaneously, so times that amount by the amount of colums that failed and it adds up to quite a bit!
Again, you called them 'bangs' I, and numerous eye witnesses call them explosions. You are just deliberately ignoring what they really were. It's pretty obvious to tell they were explosions!
I have read the report, and I did not see this (foreknowledge) in there, hence why I am asking you, because you say it's there.
So it's normal for someone to ignore an FOIA request for that long, so long that a law suit had to be initiated? That is total rubbish, and you know it!
So can you tell me why the FBI didnt look for explosives either then? Even police officers reported explosions!
Also, weren't people caught with a van full of explosives?
I think it's disturbing that you deliberately ignore real evidence presented to you, and uphold the story of the real perps.
Money does strange things to people I guess!

No, they were caught in a van with a weird mural on the side that turned out to be not very suspicious.

Where's the ebay link? Anyone could photoshop an image out. Do you always have to resort to name calling? How old are you actually?!
