" In all my years of direct and indirect particapation, I never witnessed or even heard of a aircraft loss, where the wreckage was accessible, that prevented investigators from finding enough hard evidence to positively identify the make, model, and specific registration number of the aircraft."

So eyewitness reports that say the event happened the way the OS claimed it happened are to be disregarded in favor of experts, many of who did not witness the event?
That's not how I learned how to conduct scientific investigation. In fact, I've found in my discipline, that leads to errors.
One should never trust anyone simply on the basis that they possess some kind of specific knowledge of a subject. There are often situations where we have to, and usually it is fine. But in a situation such as this, just because somebody says, "I know x, x can't be y", it means nothing.
So when the NIST report came out, that was professionals in their fields, saying how the towers collapased, you are saying we should not believe them?
They weren't witnessess to the scene , you can't have it both ways.

yeah, but you don't know what you're talking about.
The Pentagon was insanely well built.
The plane managed to go through three rings... which is shocking.
And the French, god bless, are obsessed with 9/11 conspiracy theories.
Believe them about 9/11 at your own risk.

Do I believe my instructor, simply because he is a professor? Or do I do the work for myself and see that it quickly becomes bull#, when basic words that are typically used to relate languages don't match up? Logically, the second one is what I should do.

"It is as a scientist that I have most trouble with the official government conspiracy theory, mainly because it does not satisfy the rules of probability or physics."'
'There was a dearth of visible debris on the relatively unmarked [Pentagon] lawn, where I stood only minutes after the impact. Beyond this strange absence of airliner debris, there was no sign of the kind of damage to the Pentagon structure one would expect from the impact of a large airliner."
"I saw nothing of significance at the point of impact - no airplane metal or cargo debris was blowing on the lawn in front of the damaged building as smoke billowed from within the Pentagon. ... all of us staring at the Pentagon that morning were indeed looking for such debris, but what we expected to see was not evident."
"The same is true with regard to the kind of damage we expected. ... But I did not see this kind of damage. Rather, the facade had a rather small hole, no larger than 20 feet in diameter. Although this facade later collapsed, it remained standing for 30 or 40 minutes, with the roof line remaining relatively straight.
The scene, in short, was not what I would have expected from a strike by a large jetliner. It was, however, exactly what one would expect if a missile had struck the Pentagon."
I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and say she really should have looked harder, because I see a lot of aircraft debris in these pictures:
Many, many more images of aircraft debris can be found with a simple Google search.
And as for the lack of wing impact, unfortunately very few photographs were taken of the impact site before the facade collapsed. With one exception, which shows the angled impact of the wings:

Let me give a bit of a better example of this:
Let's say one of my other professors tells me Korean and Japanese are definitely not related. Understandably, after my experience with the first professor, I'm ready to call bull#. But then he give me a copy of his book he's been working on, where he's done the work looking for all the ways people say the two languages might be related, and finding refutations for all of them. Should I simply believe him because he is a professor? Should I do the work myself? Or do I disbelieve him because the first professor was so wrong?

James was in on the NIST reporting , he was the HEAD Science and FIRE
guy at NIST, He was there at the Congressional hearings as a Rep for
NIST, He wants a new investigation, says he doesn't agree with the findings

Do go on..
He believed NIST didn't use their subpeona ability at all, to call forth
proper witnesses, Destroyed the "crime scene" .
Guessed at their model recreations findings, I have read the report too.
Questioned the "removed fire protection",
And is Amazed at the report of WTC 7 being so flawed , guess work.

He thinks parts of the whole are wrong. He never said the whole was so far off base that it wasn't even close to being right. I bet if he ran a new investigation, he would structure it around the old one, addressing problems where need be.

Hey Warlorius Creed! I have seen the Aaron Russo interview and personally believe he is being honest. The story he told is pretty wild but considering he was dying of cancer while the video was recorded I don't think he had much reason to lie.

As compared to 9/11, when they knew exactly what happened? Is that what you're saying?

How can you know exactly what happened if you do not collect as much evidence as possible and do a thorough and complete investigation? The only way you can know exactly what happened without a comprehensive investigation is if you perpetrated the crime.
