A stadium is nothing like a high rise. You say they are experts of pancaking buildings and yet you don't cite a single case where they have pulled a single floor (in an otherwise unweakened building) and had it pancake at freefall speeds. (extra points if the pulled floor or floors are pulled by heat failure from a fire) Or for that matter I challenge you to show me at least where they did a pancaking demolition instead of the classic implosion even if it doesn't match the specs of as otherwise undamaged building. Also, the people at
NIST are world class experts on building failures. Again, they have studied thousands of examples, and devoted thousands of man-years to experimental research into this kind of thing. There is no chance you could fool such people, or hide the fact that the building was actually destroyed by demolition, and there is not the slightest chance these people would participate in a conspiracy or cover-up.
You're a fool. You won't look at the evidence, you just insist the experts are right, well the ones that you agree with. The NIST has not studied such collapses. Also despite your insistence that metal buildings fail due to fire there is no skyscraper that has failed due to fire before, only the 3 in that one day. In the others far greater heats for much longer times exposing steel, not a few hours of a black smoke fire. (not a very hot fire) But all of that is pointless because you can see the squibs, in the case of WTC7 before it begins to collapse. And the charges in the towers are plainly visible and huge, they burnt people. You can't counter any of the evidence, not a single piece of it so you just ignore the evidence and cite a few supposed experts who are ever so sure it wasn't covert demolition. But all the experts in the world can't undo proof. Your appeal to authority is flawed regardless of the validity of these experts the fact that it is to the exclusion of actual physical evidence, hard evidence you can't and haven't even tried to counter, but opinions of supposed authorities are so much more solid huh? It's not even up for debate, there is no other way to interpret the evidence, the fact is if all the experts told you anything that obviously wasn't true you would believe it because they are experts, I'm sorry but that makes me sick.
