NIST is a nonregulatory agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce's Technology Administration. The purpose of NIST investigations is to improve safety and structural integrity of buildings in the United States, and the focus is on fact finding.NIST investigative teams are authorized to assess building performance and emergency response and evacuation procedures in the wake of any building failure that has resulted in substantial loss of life or that posed significant potential of substatntial loss of life.

Is the FBI qualified to evaluate a buildings safety and structural integrity?

That link shows information about the ERT, which helps gather information and such.

Argumentum ad Loose Changium: This is the flawed mentality driven position that our “Skeptics” have been employing for a good couple years now. Its a mainstream sort of perception, also. You see the old “Loose Change 2nd Edition” had quite a few flaws, some rather drastic. Back in the day LC2E was a sort of phenomenon. In those days Google Video still showed how many views a video had and they had a Top 100 listing. I think at one point I had noticed something around 10,000,000 views. So that film naturally got much of the attention. So it didn’t take too long before there were tons of pages and threads refuting it every way they could. Thats fine, if something has flaws of course, but it should be noted that these types paint everything as a one sided argument. That is, the opposition is 99% wrong without a leg to stand on, and they’re 99.5% right.
Back on point, the entire world of 9/11 discussion has devolved into a LC2E is the entire 9/11 conspiracy universe. That is, mentioning something 9/11 related that isn’t even in that film results in red herring discussions related to LC2E.
The entire mindset boils down to this: “LC2E had been debunked, therefore there can be no 9/11 Conspiracy”.

Does that make me a sheep...or a shill?
What does your propagandist say I should be categorized as?
I say then grab a camera and go make one better proving your side. get the witnesses, the news footage, the documents, do the research. It is great to sit there and bash the truthers and the films they claim support them, but where is the evidence from the other side?
All I ever see or hear is 'believers' calling 'truthers' idiots or crazy or coming back with something irrelevant altogether. How about you show the opposing viewpoint as eloquently as those films show their side.
I believe that was the point of the OP. If you disagree, show why, if you think they lie, show why, if you just think this is nonsense and have nothing to add, perhaps you should shy from the reply buttons.

Typical PseudoSkeptic... focus on things that are highly controversial and debatable... but then dodge that which is not. And even when the makers of one film distance themselves from old materials and take the focus into more concrete areas you still revert back to the old stuff as if debunking that debunks any and all possibilities of a conspiracy.
You have commited the 'Pseudo-Skeptic Fallacy' that I call "Argumentum ad Loose Changium":

So just for me. How does this make any sense? The investigation can not be official because they failed to recover any steel. Strange enough, but ok. So why do you want a new investigation?
1. The NIST report on building is not a proper investaigation for many reasons, such as becasue they are not an official investigating agency with authority and they did not recover steel for testing.
2. I do not want a new investigation unless the FBI and NTSB official crime scene reports are proven wrong or are debunked.

So according to you. Because the steel is gone and it’s impossible to test it. A proper investigation will never be possible.
