I'll admit that I didn't read the whole thing, but the following statement jumped out at me as odd:
"Eighty-one nations are represented among the World Trade Center�s dead - Israel is not one of these nations even though approximately 1200 of its citizens worked there."
hmmm...I found a September 11th Victims site that lists deaths by nationality. Nowhere near 81 nations represented (less than 40) and 2 Israeli citizens WERE included.

If I could find this hole in his article in 5 minutes of web surfing, I'm
skeptical about anything he has to say.
(BTW, I emailed him this finding - I'll let you know if he responds)

He responded in disbelief, and told me, "You could never build a truss building that high. A slight wind would knock it over! Those buildings were supported by reinforced steel. Building don't just implode like that; this was a demolition."

How many times do we have to go over this?
the term "pull" has a totaly different meaning to a firefighter than to a demolition contractor.
To a firefighter, to "pull" a building means to pull off and let it burn.

QuietSoul, Take some time to read this. It is a fairly good rundown of the prevailing collapse theories among structural engineers.
It is also quite damning of the design and structure of the towers. Well, hindsight is always 20/20.
Please, don't sit there and read a few threads and form your opinon, this is far too important a subject to scoff at. If even a fragment of the alternatives presented on the WTC disaster are accurate then the implications of this are truly deserving of a serious investigation. You can swallow the official story if you like, but the official story is full of holes and I challenge any skeptic to debunk the information presented by myself and others here. PLEASE INVESTIGATE WTC. All of it. You can't sit there and quote a few engineers and toss this one to the curb. All I am asking of the skeptics in this matter is to read up on it, I think you will find yourself asking some questions...

No they were coated with asbestos, one of the many concerns raised during the WTC dust scare in NYC.

I'm not debunking you but I am just trying to understand the big picture here.
I saw on PBS that the gurders were not protected by the asbestos. I understand by watching Frontline they were inclosed and bare of any coating. Please let me know how you come to the conclusion the beams were coated. Maybe were on to something here. I mean if PBS Frontline thought that then maybe a cover up is possible.

Why the ESB would have held up under a hit by the 767.

According to PBS, the beams were not covered with asbestos. According to them it was not considered to be needed to save cost. BTW, I consider the Public Broadcasting Service and Frontline to be more of an objective news source than any other US media.
