I believe YOU ARE making a difference, let me tell you why..
The Truth movement is dead, but it's nice to stop by every once in a wile and spit on the grave.

What? After all of the 9/11 posts over the years and still 10 pages of replies to the OP and you say the truth movement is dead? [snipped]

Because you don't exist in the real world. I have been aware of the truth movement since 2007 and since that time I have never met a truther in real life. Never. The closest I have come to one is, I saw "911 inside job" written on sidewalk in Kings Cross Australia. Thats it, nothing else. When I turn off my computer you don't exist.

I would estimate that most if not all of the on-site construction industry in the area I am in believe 9/11 was BS in some way or another.

Thats nice. Do you think you could get one of them to join up here and put all their facts together into coherent description of what they think happened that day ? Or maybe you could give it a shot.
Mete Sozen, Purdue's Kettlehut Distinguished Professor of Structural Engineering and a principal investigator on the simulation project, says the researchers worked for years and used the best computing resources available to recreate the event.
"The aircraft moved through the building as if it were a hot and fast lava flow," Sozen says. "Consequently, much of the fireproofing insulation was ripped off the structure. Even if all of the columns and girders had survived the impact - an unlikely event - the structure would fail as the result of a buckling of the columns. The heat from an ordinary office fire would suffice to soften and weaken the unprotected steel. Evaluation of the effects of the fire on the core column structure, with the insulation removed by the impact, showed that collapse would follow whatever the number of columns cut at the time of the impact."
Only a handful of architects and engineers question the NIST Report, but they have never come up with an alternative. Although at first blush it may seem impressive that these people don't believe the NIST Report, remember that there are 123,000 members of ASCE(American Society of Civil Engineers) who do not question the NIST Report. There are also 80,000 members of AIA(American Institute of Architects) who do not question the NIST Report.
Although their field of expertise is not related to the construction of buildings - they don't seem to have a problem with that over at AE911truth - there are also 120,000 members of ASME(American Society of Mechanical Engineers) who do not question the NIST report. There are also 370,000 members of IEEE(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) who do not question the NIST report. There are also 40,000 members of AIChE(American Institute of Chemical Engineers) who do not question the NIST Report. There are also 35,000 members of AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) who do not question the NIST report. So who would you rather believe?

From what I can find, Mr. Ross is sketchy at best. His "paper" was never published and therefore not subject to peer review. He hides on his blog and will not get into open debate with true qualified experts.
This simulation done by Purdue, I take with a little more credibility than Mr. Ross.

Until one of these CT "experts" writes a peer reviewed paper and publishes it, I will stick with the idea that the damage AND fire caused by a 757 hitting the WTC caused the buildings to collapse.
It was an opinion with opinion based data and many disclosers of limited liability.

Ummm, I have, and there is much lacking in it. That is why I have posted THIS link numerous times.
It takes a non biased look at ALL of this.

That can be said for all the CT collapse theories. All I want is PROOF. I am open to truth, and I am NOT convinced of what our government did or did not know. But these off the wall theories of explosives, energy weapons, thermite, no planes, missiles, mini nukes, underground nukes etc...., require a little more than youtube videos by "experts". At least for me to believe.
You can believe what you want, and have your own level of proof required, I don't have a problem with that.
I am just trying to share the facts as I see them.
Just trying to deny ignorance.
Peace

Do you really think an educational institute is going to publish a paper that goes against status quo?
And remain "respectable"?
9/11 research for the OS has nothing to do with science or truth, it is about career survival.
Read the NIST report if you think it is about science. It was an opinion with opinion based data and many disclosers of limited liability. Read it.

And the "dancing" Israeli story breaks down when you get the full story on the ladies testimony. The Israelis did not show up until after the first jet hit. In other words, like hundreds of thousands in New York that day, after the first jet hit, they stopped and watched and took video/pictures.
