What I will say, is the 9/11 debate has been on-going for quite some time now, and it doesn't seem like either side of the debate is really winning the argument. There's points and counter-points constantly thrown back and forth, and neither is 100% convincing.
That said, I don't see any reason NOT to do a new investigation. What's the harm? If anything, the hesitance in doing so is only fueling the "truther" side of the debate. If there's nothing to hide, then why not look into the situation?
the ONLY way for there to be "freefall speed" (properly, acceleration due to gravity) is if there is NOTHING below to impact.

It's what us 'non-engineers' don't have. When you have put in your time after college, you get to carry a card that says that you are a Professional Engineer!
P.S.: It doesn't come with the degree.

Well there's a fallacy.... that's not the only way to achieve an eventual freefall.
Doesn't matter if you say it in capitals, or whatever, it still doesn't make it true.
they still fell "wrong", though, for it to be a natural collapse.
what are the other ways for something to fall through solids at the same rate as through air?

if you passed your physics class
Here come the ad-hominem attacks, as usual.
I am not claiming to be an engineer, Bigyin was chiding me for NOT being an engineer, when he is NOT one himself, 'Scottland' or otherwise.

No. It's what US engineers receive.....not engineers from Scottland as Bigyun is from.

Hence the importance of your PE!
If your PE means so little to you, don't use your stamp anymore!

I at one time was refered to as an engineer technician. While I was called this, I possessed a BS in Civil Engineering....hence a REAL engineer.

No, the imortance of the PE is so that we have the ability to stamp (approve) a drawing. Meaning put our name on the line.
If you actually passed that class, you could demonstrate it here.
I took it and I remember everything from it. Kinematics, work, energy, momentum, vectors, all that fun stuff.
It's like a language in its own right. If you can't speak that language, that's not 'ad hominem', that's your fault.

There is no great popular outcry about this subject. For the population at large this is a settled issue.
Second, a "new investigation" would settle nothing.
