That's incorrect. Thousands of tons were put aside for the investigation,
and have been preserved. Samples of the damaged steel and other materials
have been extensively tested by many independent labs. If there had
anything like what Jones suggested, hundreds of experts would have spotted
it easily, and it would have been impossible to keep secret.
Jones also denounced cold fusion in this newspaper article. This is the
first time I have seen an attack on cold fusion and breathed a sigh of
relief. I would not want the field to be associated with -- or endorsed
by -- nutcakes who think the Towers were destroyed with explosives.

Actually, the collapse of the three WTC towers on 9/11/01 does require
further examination, for one simple reason, steel framed building had never
previously or since collapsed due to fire. A building in Madrid, Spain
burned for 30 hours in 2005, a raging inferno that engulfed the entire
building and it still stood at the end of it all. Some will argue that
WTC-1 and 2 were hit with planes, thus that contributed to their collapse.
Perhaps, but WTC-7 was not hit with any plane and it only had two minor
fires, there is no logical reason for why WTC-7 collapsed on the afternoon
of 9/11/01.
I would think that an unprecedented building failure like the WTC on 9/11/01
would result in an extrodinary investigation by government and building
engineers to determine why and how the buildings failed. But that
investigation seems muted and underwhelming to say the least (I believe most
of the steel from the WTC was actually promptly shipped off the Asia and
melted). I think it is fair to entertain alternative explanations, because
the official explanation for the WTC collapses just doesn't add up. Even on
the day of 9/11/01 I remember reports saying that it appears as if there had
been a detonation of some sort when the buildings came down. Do buildings
that suffer structural failure collapse so quickly and cleanly? If not,
then the events of 9/11 require alternative explanations, IMO.
