It is on topic Sean. The firefighters that were there have not come out against the investigation into to fires/collapses. etc.
Some truther in Seattle started a group that is essentially the same as all the other: ______ For 911 Truth.com groups.... they scream conspiracy without any conspiracy.

Wrong.
The Investigation that SHOULD have happened is the same, in NY, in Seattle
in Dallas, where ever.
It's called Procedure, Guidelines used for investigating Fires.
They where horribily Ignored after 911 , that is the OP.

There was an investigation. Sorry you don't believe it. Sorry it didn't suit your fantasy of DEW Weapons, Nano- Therm*te, or Mini-Nukes.

If you would like to read a thorough investigation, download and read the ENTIRE report from NIST. Do not cherry pick from websites but read the whole thing. They addressed everything.
During this investigation, the evaluation of the buildings evacuation procedures and Emergency response procedures were looked at to ensure that if this was to ever occur again people, such as those with wheelchairs, would be able to evacuate a skyscraper. This is familiarized in the case of the woman in the WTC who was carried by helpful by standers.
At the end of this report, 13 recommendations were created to increase structural integrity, enhance fire endurance of structures and better rescue procedures. It was in 2002 that the US congress appointedannounced a 'BUilding and Fire Safety Investigation
Based on recommendations of the New York City Mayoral Commission, the measure bans the use of open-web steel joists for structures more than 75 ft. tall because fire-proofing used to protect these floor-framing systems is inadequate. The law effectively eliminates one of two steel floor systems that compete with concrete. Additionally, new buildings will have to comply with blast-resistant construction requirements. According to Portland Cement Association's regional structural engineer Mike Mota, who also serves on the Mayoral Commission that recommended the changes, that provision will force more steel buildings to rely on concrete shear walls and cores, making composite steel-concrete buildings more competitive.
From the foundation through the first 80 ft., the structure is 100 percent cast-in-place reinforced concrete. Above, the structure consists of a cast-in-place concrete core and steel framing around the perimeter.
Another driving force was safety. The owner wanted to go beyond the minimum building code requirements and create perhaps the safest building of its size from the standpoint of fire and terrorist hazards. The building's core consists of concrete shear walls as thick as 2 ft. 3 in., which surround the elevator shafts, stairways and transfer corridors. The walls will help to mitigate potential damage and injury in the event of an explosion. The robust shell enclosing the stairs also will help keep fire exits open in an evacuation.

Thanks for the link but I've heard the full report is 10,000 pages long. The linked report is only about 110 pages long. What is with the discrepancy?
