That guy is an engineer and so am I.
I said so, therefore, it's true. Matter of fact I'm the smartest engineer in the world.
I said that so it has to be true (no one would ever lie on the Internet).
You know that when you lie to try and promote a point, that it doesn't add to your credibility right? It's clear nobody can trust what you post because you're willing to post falsehoods in order to try and ruin someone elses credibility.
If this were done the other way around you'd call it criminal.

I am not challenging anyone's opinion on their understanding of engineering specifications of building collapses. I have no expertise in this area and rely on the information of others, if and when, I see it as applicable. That is the core issue-In the grand scheme of things it just has no bearing on the implicit events.
If you can make a scientific argument that WTC 7 fell as if it were imploded, then make that argument and back it up with data. However, still, this has no bearing at all on the attack on America.
With it's humble beginnings in Manila in 1996, during preparations for the Bojinka Operation, this plot can be followed step by step, each step advanced meticulously and it's infallibility preserved by statements by the ones who participated in it. That in jurisprudence, is known as 'beyond any reasonable doubt and a moral certainty' and just because some iron beams fell in an unnatural manner or collapsed inward or outward, fails to reflect from the facts in this case.
How can I be any clearer on that?
Do you really believe that the passports of the hijackers would survive the fireball that was hot enough to bring down the buildings and just so happen to be found hours later in the rubble to be broadcast to the world?
Please, I want an honest answer on this.

The unmarked building near WTC 1 was hit by debris. Look at the size of the hole in the middle of the building. That is extensive damage. That building had to be taken down. It did not collapse.

I'll change my mind when the evidence contradicts my theory...

The passport surviving the fireball is easy to explain. It was out the other side of the building before the fireball occurred.
A Boeing 767 has 19500 cu/ft of air inside it's cabin. Air has mass. Moving mass has inertia. After impact the air continued moving forward and out the other side of the building. It carried the passport with it. At the speed the air was traveling it would take less than 1/4 of a second to transverse the building. The fireball erupted at about 1/4 of a second after impact.
The passport was recovered by NYPD Detective Yuk H. Chin from a male passerby in a business suit, about 30 years old. The passerby left before being identified, while debris was falling from WTC 2. The tower collapsed shortly afterwards. The detective then gave the passport to the FBI on 9/11.

Here is how the passport was found.

The video even admits they merely think themselves more rational than people who don't buy the official story.
You have to admit even the way the passport was submitted to police sounds absolutely insane. A plane just flew into a building and some mystery man in a business suit is searching through its debris and turning in his results before building 2 collapses.
Think real hard about this.
I was now standing in what seemed to be a war zone. There were scattered police and firefighters all around the streets. It seemed that I was one of only a handful of civilians so I had to pass myself off as a security agent as I was determined to stay and help. I was now outside the Bankers Trust (130 Liberty St.) building approximately 100 ft. or so away from the entrance of the main tower. I could hear objects hitting the ground around me so I decided to work my way around the back of the building and now I had learned what had happened.
I was standing in the middle of what were the remains of a passenger aircraft. There were seats and engine parts smashed through car windows everywhere. What seemed to be an engine was embedded into the sidewalk and body parts were strewn all over the street. Then I looked down to my feet and picked up a passport. It was a Saudi passport. It was green with Arabic writing and as I opened it and saw the man’s face inside it and I felt as if I were looking into the eyes of someone that may have been part of the terror that I was witnessing around me and I later learned that I was right as I passed it off to an FBI agent that was standing a block away on West side Hwy who immediately took it from me. He then instructed me to leave the area but before he could notice I ran back to the side of the Bankers Trust building determined to help find survivors that may have been hurt in the streets or in the cars. Then my life was changed forever.

You realize there was several stories of office debris scattered throughout the area from the impact as well as the whatever made it out of the plane. Low and behold the passport was lying there at his feet and he had to pretend to be security/operation personnel to get access to an agent to submit this piece of evidence.
Would you mind linking me to a history of the man's professional career?
I am merely pointing out the incredibly outrageous odds of this.
Not to mention that the NIST report still claims the original names produced by the regime are the hijackers despite several of those people still being alive and claiming stolen identities.

And I am merely pointing out to you that, not only is the survival and discovery of the passport possible, it is probable.

On Sept 27 2001 the FBI released the identities of the 19 hijackers. Can you find me any evidence of the hijackers being alive dated after Sept 27 2001 ? Let me save you the trouble, No You Cant.
The hijackers are dead.
They're not only merely dead, they're really most sincerely dead
Another of the men named by the FBI as a hijacker in the suicide attacks on Washington and New York has turned up alive and well.
The identities of four of the 19 suspects accused of having carried out the attacks are now in doubt.
Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September.
His photograph was released, and has since appeared in newspapers and on television around the world.
Now he is protesting his innocence from Casablanca, Morocco.
He told journalists there that he had nothing to do with the attacks on New York and Washington, and had been in Morocco when they happened. He has contacted both the Saudi and American authorities, according to Saudi press reports.
He acknowledges that he attended flight training school at Daytona Beach in the United States, and is indeed the same Waleed Al Shehri to whom the FBI has been referring.
. . . .
On 14 September, the FBI released the names of the 19 hijackers it believes carried out the attacks. There is some doubt about four of the people named as some of the hijackers may have been travelling on false documents.
Several of those arrested are reported to have had connections to the hijackers or Osama Bin Laden, and some may have been planning other hijackings.
This is a murky area in which unattributed briefings and misinformation must be taken into account.
. . .
There is no direct evidence in the public domain linking Osama Bin Laden to the 11 September attacks.
At best the evidence is circumstantial.
. . .
When asserting that Bin Laden is behind the attacks, US and UK officials lean heavily on what they believe to be Bin Laden's record and his connection to other terrorist attacks.
They are in effect arguing that the attacks are part of a clearly discernable pattern linked to previous attacks - notably the bombings of the USS Cole in Yemen in October 2000, and two US embassies in East Africa in August 1998.
In November 2001, US forces recovered a videotape from a bombed house in Jalalabad, Afghanistan which showed a man purported to be Osama bin Laden talking to Khaled al-Harbi. In the tape, bin Laden talks of planning the attacks. Translations from the tape include the following lines:
...we calculated in advance the number of casualties from the enemy, who would be killed based on the position of the tower. We calculated that the floors that would be hit would be three or four floors. I was the most optimistic of them all...
We had notification since the previous Thursday that the event would take place that day. We had finished our work that day and had the radio on...Muhammad (Atta) from the Egyptian family (meaning the al-Qaeda Egyptian group), was in charge of the group...
The brothers, who conducted the operation, all they knew was that they have a martyrdom operation and we asked each of them to go to America but they didn't know anything about the operation, not even one letter. But they were trained and we did not reveal the operation to them until they are there and just before they boarded the planes.
On October 29, 2004, at 21:00 UTC, al Jazeera broadcast excerpts from a videotape of Osama bin Laden addressing the people of the United States (in which he accepts responsibility for the September 11 attacks) condemns the Bush government's response to those attacks and presents those attacks as part of a campaign of revenge and deterrence motivated by his witnessing of the destruction in the Lebanese Civil War in 1982.

What direction does it go ?
Answer ..... DOWN
So how come lots of concrete and steel decided to go sideways, and not just a little bit sideways, far enough to cross over a street and fall on top of a very high building.
Only something like an explosion could propel heavy items that far.
That's if concrete and steel was propelled as we are told and the pictures aren't shopped.

Judging by their track record and how many times Osama Bin Laden has been killed or died of natural causes I find anything they say hard to believe.
Since you are still around, what is your opinion on the hijacker list distributed by the regime?
On September 23, 2001 BBC News reported that al-Shehri was "alive and well" in Casablanca, Morocco, and was talking to multiple media organizations however, due to confusion over the man's identity, and editorial concerns over conspiracy theories, BBC News later modified the September 23 report by inserting "A man called ... "
BBC News considers the September 23 report superseded by an October 5, 2001 report that lists Waleed as one of the alleged hijackers believed by the FBI to be responsible for the September 11 attacks.
Waleed and Wail were both reported to have been initially found, in error, by a Saudi newspaper editor as the sons of Ahmed Alshehri, a senior Saudi diplomat stationed in Bombay, India.
On September 16, 2001, the diplomat Ahmed Alshehri denied that he was the father of the two hijackers. Wail claims he did attend Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida — but was the victim of mistaken identity, since he used that training to secure his current position with a Moroccan airline company. Saudi Arabia has confirmed his story, and suggested he was the victim of identity theft.
Muhammad Ali al-Shehri, the Shehri brothers' true father, was identified prior to September 17, 2001, and told Arab News that he had not heard from his sons in ten months prior to September 2001.
An ABC News story in March 2002 repeated this, and during a report entitled "A Saudi Apology" for Dateline NBC on August 25, 2002, NBC reporter John Hockenberry traveled to 'Asir, where he interviewed the third brother, Salah, who agreed that his two brothers were dead and claimed they had been "brainwashed".
Furthermore another article explains that the pilot who lives in Casablanca was named Walid al-Shri (not Waleed M. al-Shehri) and that much of the BBC information regarding "alive" hijackers was incorrect according to the same sources used by BBC.
In September 2007, a video recording of his last testament was released to mark the 6th anniversary of the attacks.
Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September.
His photograph was released, and has since appeared in newspapers and on television around the world.
Hijacking suspects
Flight 175: Marwan Al-Shehhi, Fayez Ahmed, Mohald Alshehri, Hamza Alghamdi and Ahmed Alghamdi
Flight 11: Waleed M Alshehri, Wail Alshehri, Mohamed Atta, Abdulaziz Alomari and Satam Al Suqami
Flight 77: Khalid Al-Midhar, Majed Moqed, Nawaq Alhamzi, Salem Alhamzi and Hani Hanjour
Flight 93: Ahmed Alhaznawi, Ahmed Alnami, Ziad Jarrahi and Saeed Alghamdi
Now he is protesting his innocence from Casablanca, Morocco.
He told journalists there that he had nothing to do with the attacks on New York and Washington, and had been in Morocco when they happened. He has contacted both the Saudi and American authorities, according to Saudi press reports.
He acknowledges that he attended flight training school at Daytona Beach in the United States, and is indeed the same Waleed Al Shehri to whom the FBI has been referring.
