What I would like to see is an analysis of the aggressive anti-conspiracy cognitive infiltration that has occurred since, oh, 2008.

High jacked airliners rammed into buildings causing them to collapse, end of investigation.
The foundation of the building wasn't compromised if that was the case. There were at least 70 floors below the impact floor that created way too much resistance for the building to collapse at such a speed and into its own footprint. Sure the amount of kinetic energy of the upper floors collapsing could cause some floors to collapse but not the entire structure. If you really want to believe it was the result of the planes hitting the building, why did a 3rd building, (building 7) which wasn't hit by any plane collapse in the same manner? There are numerous videos on the internet that show steel buildings on fire for days and they never collapsed. The collapse of building 7 alone warrants an investigation.
It's a statistically and a physically improbability that three steel buildings could coincidentally collapse in exactly the same manner. Not to mention two collapsing in less than 1 hour after they were hit. Steel building have never collapsed due to fire. If they did, surely not within 1 hour after being set on fire.

Exactly. And since the government did not investigate building 7 for explosives.

Why would they? Exactly how did they get the explosives past the bomb sniffing dogs?
What makes yo think explosives were used? The Fire Brigade knew the building was collapsing due to the damage, they even had a transit on it and were watching it bulge....

I would welcome any additional independent investigation surrounding 9/11.
This feature is somewhat different from our usual purely scientific articles, in that it contains some speculation.

The smoking gun in my opinion was that Thermite was found in the dust of the collapse.
Video clearly shows molten metal spewing out of the lower part of the Twin Towers.
I've taken a course in steel structures before becoming a CAD instructor.
The coincidence that 3 steel buildings collapsed in the same manner clearly goes against the statistical probability they were due to fires.
And I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. But neither one of us are qualified to argue against the experts of the OS.
You must have watched different video than the rest of us.

But the buildings were designed for that never to happen, according to Frank A. Demartini, ....
Trying to dismiss this from a person as informed as Demartini simply does not cut it.

Yes, 3 buildings did collapse in the same manner, in free fall and into their own footprint.
Its a fact no steel building has ever had a total collapse nor did any collapse by fire in under 1 or 2 hours!
It's also a fact that jet fuel doesn't burn at a high enough temperature to melt or deform steel.
