Again, the man in the video didn't ask for the mechanism's of collapse. He just asked why it wasn't covered in the report. Then the senator denies it even happened.
And the quote about the mission of the 911 commission was taken directly from their site.
Although I see you have made up a whole other mission statement for the 911 commission out of thin air and putting the words FACT. by it. I'm not the ignorant one.
The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the 9-11 Commission), an independent, bipartisan commission created by congressional legislation and the signature of President George W. Bush in late 2002, is chartered to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, including preparedness for and the immediate response to the attacks. The Commission is also mandated to provide recommendations designed to guard against future attacks.
What is the Commission's mandate?
The Commission's mandate is to provide a “full and complete accounting” of the attacks of September 11, 2001 and recommendations as to how to prevent such attacks in the future.
Specifically, Section 604 of Public Law 107-306 requires the Commission to investigate "facts and circumstances relating to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001," including those relating to intelligence agencies; law enforcement agencies; diplomacy; immigration, nonimmigrant visas, and border control; the flow of assets to terrorist organizations; commercial aviation; the role of congressional oversight and resource allocation; and other areas determined relevant by the Commission for its inquiry.
How is the Commission staff organized?
In response to the requirements under law, the Commission has organized work teams to address each of the following eight topics:
Al Qaeda and the Organization of the 9-11 Attack;
Intelligence Collection, Analysis, and Management (including oversight and resource allocation);
International Counterterrorism Policy, including states that harbor or harbored terrorists, or offer or offered terrorists safe havens;
Terrorist Financing;
Border Security and Foreign Visitors;
Law Enforcement and Intelligence Collection inside the United States;
Commercial Aviation and Transportation Security, including an Investigation into the Circumstances of the Four Hijackings;
The Immediate Response to the Attacks at the National, State, and Local levels, including issues of Continuity of Government.
What is the Commission’s view of the Report of the Joint Inquiry?
The Joint Inquiry made a significant contribution in explaining some failures of American intelligence. The Commission is required to pick up where the Joint Inquiry left off, and it is doing so. The Commission’s mandate goes well beyond matters of intelligence -- aviation safety, terrorist financing, the role of foreign governments, the response on the ground, congressional oversight, and so forth. The Commission will report facts and make recommendations in each of these areas, as well as in the area of intelligence.

FACT: 9/11 Commision report was to investigate the intelligence failure, red tape beaurocracy, inter agency animosity, foreign intelligence warnings missed, inept intelligence agencies, etc, and to see who dropped the ball and screwed up royal. Its task did NOT include covering how and why the WTCs collapsed. That was left to FEMA first and then NIST
