Well, you know, I'm hardly a structural engineer myself, so I'm relying on the words of others on the subject, too.
However.
If practically the entire structural engineering community says, "This is what almost certainly happened," I trust them. They would know; I do not. I have no reason to trust people without training in the relevant field unless they somehow show that they are truly equipped to answer questions, and I've not seen anyone from the CT side who can. At least, not that can answer reasonable questions in a reasonable manner, including providing evidence.
We are trying to teach critical thinking skills here, I think. Don't just take someone's word for it, in other words, but know whether their word is worth taking. (Hint: the No Plane people are not worth trusting.) Big Friggin' Planes plus Big Friggin' Fire equals Big Friggin' Collapse. What's so unbelievable about that?

Bottom line, if you're going to do it with explosives, you need tons of explosives. There is no alternative. You cannot possibly anticipate the structure's behavior with enough accuracy to get it done reliably with less. This is one of many reasons why the very idea of "controlled demolition" is, and always has been, absolutely insane.

Red herring. The evidence presented and in the public domain is substantial and more than enough

Not for me it isn't. When and if the tapes from the pentagon are released and if it shows a 757 I will more than gladly admit my conspiritorial error.
Originally posted by jthomasI think you need to think through exactly what the implications of your statement are and will soon realize that any video is meaningless in establishing that AA77 hit the Pentagon.
Do you really want to believe what the 9/11 Truth Movement wants you to believe?

All you are doing is repeating the illogical canard that none of the other evidence that AA77 hit the Pentagon counts. It is such an illogical statement.
[snip] blah, blah, "evidence", blah, blah, "witnesses", blah, blah.
