For there to have been a controlled demolition, there would have had to have been THOUSANDS of charges placed throughout the structures, entailing offices being ripped apart to get to the structural support of the building. Each of these charges would have had blasting caps, each of these charges would have had wiring running to the panel to initiate the charges. During the cleanup, those wires would STILL be there. The columns would have shown the evidence of the charges.
No wiring was found. No columns were found showing evidence of being severed explosively. No employees of ANY of the companies reported their walls being torn apart that would have facilitated placing the charges.
So, absolutely no physical evidence of any kind....and you base your beliefs on, " I heard it go boom"
p.s. you really dont want to bring up Scott Forbes and his power down fables.....that one is way to easy to tear apart.

The best I've watched, as yet is ;
' 9/11. The great American psy-opera '
I've tried posting the video but having trouble. Hopefully I can post a link.

This is a great documentary on the proffessor who was attacked by mainstream media, and constantly threatened by emails. His crime? Publishing papers that went against the official narrative using science.

His error was publishing a paper that was internally inconsistent.

The thermodynamics of his supposed discovery that he touts in his own data disprove his thermitic material theory.

It is not necessary to attack someone because they simply published scientific papers that were peer reviewed prior to publication.
An article on explosives in the World Trace Center was published in a scientific journal without the editor in chief knowing about it. Now she is resigning, she tells Videnskab.dk ([science.denmark]) By Thomas Hoffman ([email protected]).
FAILING GRADES TO THE JOURANL The editor-in-chief’s dramatic departure gives critics additional reason to doubt the article’s conclusions, but Marie-Paule Pileni points out that because the topic lies outside her field of expertise, she cannot judge whether the article in itself is good or bad.

The 2009 publication in The Open Chemical Physics Journal (TOCPJ) of a fabulous paper by Harrit et al. entitled “Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe”
Some disparagers of the 9/11 Truth movement have alleged that TOCPJ is a place on the web where anybody can buy a publication without peer review.
Absolutely false!
I know this because I was one of the referees of the Harrit et al. paper. The editors asked for my opinion. And after about two weeks of studying what the authors had written, checking relevant references, and gathering my thoughts, I finally provided my advice to authors in 12 single-spaced pages, together with my recommendation to the Editors that they publish the paper after the authors had considered my suggestions.

It is not necessary to attack someone because they simply published scientific papers that were peer reviewed prior to publication. He was attacked immediately in the mainstream, and was sent threatening emails. This is not fair treatment of a respected physicist in a supposed free and democratic society. The fact he was also offered bribes not to publish his work is alarming.
In saying “Goodbye stevie jones”, you use condescending language. This, I simply do not understand.
If he made errors in his work, then please point out this information. But do not make snide remarks about it. I’m sick of reading remarks like this on the 9/11 forum.
It’s time for grown-ups on here.
BYU were criticized by the American Association of Professors and the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education on their treatment of Steven Jones and BYU’s record of academic freedom.
It is unfortunate that you do not appreciate my succinct conclusion "Goodbye, Stevie Jones" so I will reword it. Steven Jones is a man of no integrity who will subvert the scientific method for his own ends, cheat the peer review system, and sell bad science to the unsuspecting.

Hellobruce, thanks for providing the link. What is interesting is that you claim that "Jone's paper was NOT peer reviewed" and yet the link you provide states that his paper did infact have referees.
It does state that the editor in chief resigned simply because she did not authorise it's publication. It does not state that she resigned because it was not peer reviewed.
What is interesting is that the link you provide also presents the followng information
"“Her departure doesn’t change our conclusions, for it is a purely personnel related thing she his angry about.
I still believe that we have carried out chemical physics, and if there is something wrong with our study, she is welcome to criticize us for it,” says Niels Harrit, Associate Professor at the Institute of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen."
"It is Niels Harrit’s co-author Steven Jones who was in charge of contact to Bentham, and therefore the Danish researcher is presently not aware which responsible assistant editor the group has been communicating with."
"However, he does know the names of the two researchers –so-called referees—who have reviewed the article, but he will not give their names because they ‘are in principle anonymous’"
Gathering more information on this it seems that one of the anonymous referees was Dr. David Griscom, who admitted it in his blog.

Still, some skeptical readers may ask how anyone can rate a scientific paper as “fabulous.” Well, I am the principal author of 109 papers (and a co-author of an additional 81) in peer-review journals. And have refereed a least 600, and possibly as many as 1000, manuscripts. So you would be right in calling me an aficionado of articles published in scientific journals. And I found absolutely nothing to criticize in the final version of the Harrit et al. paper! Apropos, twelve of my own publications have appeared in the American Institute of Physics’ Journal of Chemical Physics (an old fashioned paper journal), so it is accurate to say that chemical physics (of inorganic materials) is my main specialty.
Harrit et al. (2009) report extensive materials-science investigations of “red/gray chips” originally discovered by co-author Prof. Steven Jones in samples of dust produced by the destruction of the World Trade Center. Specifically, they examined red/gray chips from four separate sites in lower Manhattan, collected just 10 minutes, one day, one day, and one week after the collapse of WTC 1, each one uncontaminated by clean-up operations which began later. Their experimental methods included optical microscopy (see photomicrographs below), scanning electron microscopy (SEM; see images below the photomicrographs), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS) to determine elemental compositions, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). By these means they determined the red material to contain (1) faceted grains consistently 100 nm (0.1 micrometer) in size which are largely ferric-iron oxide, (2) metallic aluminum in the form of platelets approximately 40 nm thick and about 1 micrometer broad, and (3) a binder matrix consisting of silicon dioxide and some sort of organic material.
Yes, his publications have appeared here and there. He then thinks that thermite burns slowly [it does not] and has no concept of underground fires.

Why would he do that, destroy his life and career, reputation ? Sell bad science to who, I don't know much about him but I have yet to see him selling anything to anyone, unlike Guage..
He sells the idea but not for money. He likes the attention and admiration. His career is over; he is retired and writing whatever strikes his fancy.
That was five or so years ago. Apparently, it didn't show thermite, so with all the scientific integrity he could muster, Jones just kept promoting his completely unsubstantiated conclusion to accolades from all those duped by the paper.
