So one of the forensic investigators was "informed" that "no bombs had been detonated" and he accepted it before he began his investigation and even though it went against his first impressions. Now that is stacking the deck... I wonder who did the stacking.
And evidence is only considered if its found immediately despite the fact the piles were burning so hot that they could not investigate large areas of Ground Zero for months? That's odd.

On the contrary -- common sense says WTC7 was a controlled demolition.

I've already posted several controlled demolition experts saying that all the WTC towers were controlled demolitons and they knew that as soon as they saw the videos.
This is an understandable emotion driven response but we would propose instead that designing a structure with fire as a design load provides a more robust design solution.Simply increasing fire proofing thickness without understanding the actual structural response to heat provides no guarantees of increased safety.
Seismic design relies on modelling, risk analysis and changes to the structural stiffness. Wind design relies on additional structural members and wind tunnel tests. Current fire design relies on very simple, single element tests and adding insulating material to the frame. Thermal induced forces are not calculated or designed for.

Large structural components when they fail can make extremely loud noises JUST because they heard a loud noise doesn't make it an explosion.

All loud noises can be confused with explosions.

They hadn't found a lot of things just 8 days after the event. So this forensic investigator who was supposed to figure out why what happened happened, was "informally" informed that "no bombs had been detonated." I wonder who "informally informed" him? His brother or sister who were watching events on the teevee?

Wes Felter: "I'm hearing rumors that gas prices have doubled and tripled during the day in some places. Has anyone witnessed that?" Wes says: "I didn't understand how they could have collapsed; the buildings didn't look damaged below the crash sites." NPR interviewed a Berkeley engineering professor, he explained what happened. Basically the steel in the top 20 stories got very hot and softened, and collapsed on the lower 90 stories. They couldn't handle that kind of load, so they collapsed too.

This has nothing to do with "thousands of pages of engineering" as they didn't exist at the time, just 8 days after 911. But, boy, oh boy, this is getting better and better the more you try to explain it.
And by the way, who's talking anything about an "inside job"? I'm talking about an incompetent investigation. This one article proves nothing alone, except maybe the character and bias of this "forensic" investigator. This is just one of many pieces of the puzzle that is 911. This piece taken along with many, many others reveals certain trends.
E: I didn't expect the buildings to collapse though, I bet they targeted core columns to guarantee it
M: No the news was talking about aircraft only, no bombs
E: Oh, well the building really didn't do very well at all then

Sorry but all the construction experience in the world can not make a building completely collapse into it's own footprint from fire and asymmetrical damage.
None of what you claim is evidence that it can.
WTC 7 did not have any significant structural damage that would cause a symmetrical collapse. Fire would not cause a symmetrical collapse.

Who needed an investigation at all? Maybe that's why the White House were stonewalling for so long...

So now you're implying that random people on the street are part of the conspiracy.
Come on Max, this is paranoid delusion level thinking.
Just because someone gets the answers right does not mean that they are paid off by some evil group. There were many people who thought there were bombs there too. Can I say they were paid off by AE911Truth to say such a thing? No, because I have no evidence.
Where is your evidence against these people?

Now that you mentioned it.. It does seems like they were there planting ideas.
I would hate to see you banned for this kind of talk.. Please be nice.
I'm curious what do you think the guy in the first video describing?

But I'm glad to know that "forensics" and "investigation" can be equated with "a water cooler conversation." I need to find this water cooler where all these "forensic" investigators hang out. Maybe I could hang with them and watch Kyra Phillips of CNN tell us that "no bombs had been detonated."
Stupid me, I always thought "investigating" and "forensics" was actually more difficult. I guess "Forensics 101" in college teaches one how to not pay attention to Kyra's breasts and actually listen to what she's saying.
Thanks for straightening me out.
