Anyway, here's my contribution to the debunking: The yield strength of structural steel is reduced by 80% at 600° C. No office building can withstand losing 80% of it's structural integrity. Here's a link to a handy-dandy point by point rebuttal of the whack-job's theories. And, as always: [...] [...] The only thing is: Who knew the pay would be this lousy for being part of such a massive conspiracy?

All the rest are either "soft" science types or have no engineering background whatsoever. I have also mentioned the NIST report before and noted that steel loses 80% of its yield strength at 600° C. There is nothing on this earth that could have prevented the towers from collapsing when two fuel laden aircraft were intentionally flown into them. By al Qaeda terrorists. Who take full credit for the attack. [...] [...] As I have mentioned before, I know of exactly one engineer and one professor of physics who are part of the group.

Rather than continue to be ignored, he willingly severed his connection with rational thought. His rejection of clear fact in favor of mindless speculation opened the door to the publicity and recognition he coveted. Perversely, his self-deception is his ticket to self-satisfaction. He would rather be labeled a fool than continue to be ignored. He would rather spout nonsense in the public forum than live anonymously among facts. His enemy is reality itself, and his descent into mindless irrelevance beckons irresistibly.
