Hi Jed and Steven,
I don't believe in a conspiracy either, but I think it's conceivable
that distributed explosives were used to minimize the death toll by
making them fall cleanly (vertically), rather than messily (laterally
over neighboring buildings) if/when their fall became unavoidable.
Unless there is a non-explosive way to design towers so that even
when fragilized on one side they will fall vertically? Maybe there
is, after all it's an
I've read that with such a structure, in which the center of gravity is
on the centerline, hundreds of feet from the edges, it's difficult to
get the building to fall any way _except_ straight down.
Tall buildings don't normally tip over; they just collapse.
Again, so I've read -- I'm certainly no expert (but then, neither's
Steven Jones and that doesn't keep him from shooting off his mouth, so
there you go).

Greetings Jed,
The person in this video asserts that the Twin Towers were
destroyed on purpose, with explosives. As Ed Storms and I have
pointed out previously, hundreds of the world's best civil
engineers examined the videos and physical evidence from the
Towers, such as the melted steel. This was the most detailed,
expensive and thorough engineering investigation in history. All
of them agreed that the airplanes alone destroyed the structure.
The notion that you could fool all of these experts, or bribe or
frighten them into hiding the truth, is ludicrous. It is utterly
impossible -- utterly absurd.
...
I pretty much agree with analysis you and other structural
engineers have had to say on this particularly sordid historical
event.
Unfortunately, as I'm sure you are also well resigned to, your
arguments will do little to change the minds of what appear to be a
number of vocal participants who remain convinced the WTC buildings
were brought down by missiles pre-launched by the jets, combined
with a carefully planned conspiracy that had to have been conceived
and implemented from within the highest echelons of our government.
It seems to me that it's really not about uncovering the awful
truths of what actually happened on that awful day of 9/11. It's
more about grappling with the belief that we live in a cynical
world where intrigue and deception lurks in most of the established
institutions that run the daily affairs of our mundane lives, for
which many of us may occasionally feel helpless to change.
As I have suggested many times in the past: Chose your conspiracies
wisely.
