I don't need my own explanation to see that the official one is not true. It's really very simple, but I expect you will find it hard to understand. Have you ever heard an expression " I don't have to be right for you to be wrong"?
Ummmm, actually, yes you do need your own explanation, especially when you're the one trying to convince other people that they're wrong. You aren't telling people they're wrong for believing in a supernatural deity, or for believing Android is better than Apple, or for thinking that vanilla ice cream is better than chocolate ice cream, because those are just personal opinions. You're trying to tell people they're wrong for accepting established facts which has demonstratable proof, like photos of aircraft wreckage to show it really was a passenger jet that hit the Pentagon, or news footage of flames to show there really were large scale fires burning in WTC 7.
Those people have every right to want to know why the information they've seen is incorrect and you can't just tell people to disregard it "because you told them to" and then expect them to take you seriously. How is that not doing exactly the same thing that you're accusing the government (or the military industrial complex, or big oil, or Israel, or Xenu the galactic overlord, or whoever it is you believe is pulling the strings) of doing?
This attitude you have that "they are wrong no matter what" is the problem with truthers.

Things which happened that day were NOT fully explained and damn sure not to an average man's satisfaction on any level. SOMETHING stinks in all that and it could be the WHOLE thing stinks.....
The average man barely understands why an apple falls from a tree.
Nevermind the physics of fire.
Questions like “how is it possible all experts were fooled...”
I know of just a handful, but they are heavily invested in this conspiracy theory, and they haven't published anything serious. Those are not the kind of experts you should listen to.
But that doesn't matter to you since they are all involved in world wide conspiracy to lie to people so that they can sell books, t-shirts and bumper stickers.

hmmm ok then
lets get back to my question.
Can't you at the very least accept that A&E for 9/11 truth are wrong when they say the building collapsed in less than 7 seconds?
yes or no.
There is undeniable evidence (as far as I'm concerned) of a cover up of events leading up to 9/11. For me that's more than enough of reasons to not just take their words for it.
So you can acsept that they are wrong to say that WTC-7 fell in less than 7 second's despite the fact that they repeate this multiple times when talking about WTC-7 as does Jones.
So if they are wrong about something as simple as the time it took the building to collapse, does that not worry you, that these 1500 experts could get something as simple as the time it took the building to fall so wrong, its a obvious lie. they are the experts right? so they must know now long it really took yet they lie about it.
So again, another question for you, if you can acsept that they have lied about how long it took the building to collapse it is not also possible that they are lying about some of thier other claims including thier critisism of NIST and claims of thermate?
Based on what? what evidence do you have t that there has been a cover up of the events leading up to 9/11?
LOL! Are you serious? These people have certifications, degrees, and have spent much of their lives dedicated in fields related to construction, architecture, and engineering. How anyone could assume such a position as to dictate to another also lies so far beyond the veil, it defies logical explanation.

Care to point out any signatory of the AE911 petition possessing a degree you would consider "not applicable?"

Leslie Simons...Landscape architect
Landscape architecture combines art and science. It is the profession that designs, plans and manages our land. Landscape architecture has strong roots in the U.S., and early examples, such as Monticello, are still much admired. The actual term landscape architecture became common after 1863 when Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux designed New York's Central Park. Today, landscape architects deal with the increasingly complex relationships between the built and natural environments. Landscape architects plan and design traditional places such as parks, residential developments, campuses, gardens, cemeteries, commercial centers, resorts, transportation facilities, corporate and institutional centers and waterfront developments. They also design and plan the restoration of natural places disturbed by humans such as wetlands, stream corridors, mined areas and forested land. Their appreciation for historic landscapes and cultural resources enables landscape architects to undertake preservation planning projects for national, regional and local historic sites and areas. Working with architects, city planners, civil engineers and other professionals, landscape architects play an important role in environmental protection by designing and implementing projects that respect both the needs of people and of our environment. Meeting human needs by making wise use of our environmental resources is work that is in demand today and will continue to be needed in the future. Required Education for a Career in Landscape Architecture A landscape architect needs: Sensitivity to landscape quality Understanding of the arts and a humanistic approach to design. Ability to analyze problems in terms of design and physical form. Technical competence to translate a design into a built work. Skills in all aspects of professional practice including management and professional ethics.

Well.....That proves my point. No knowledge of building structures.
Thanks.
Landscape architecture is a multi-disciplinary field, incorporating aspects of: botany, horticulture, the fine arts, architecture, industrial design, geology and the earth sciences, environmental psychology, geography, and ecology.
The bachelor of landscape architecture (BLA) degree is a five-year program that prepares you for a professional career of designing and planning land and outdoor spaces through the application of aesthetic and scientific principles. You will learn to integrate the work of architects, engineers, planners, ecologists, geographers, and physical and social scientists. As an undergraduate student in the College of Architecture and Planning (CAP), you will have a distinctive first-year experience that exposes you to architecture, landscape architecture, and urban planning. During your second year, you will study landscape architecture more intensively. You will be required to complete an internship during your fourth year which provides you with firsthand experience in a professional setting. You will complete the program with a comprehensive project in landscape architecture. In addition, you may choose to study abroad or enroll in a complementary minor to enhance your degree.
