    With all due respect..

    The WTC towers were a new design. There are very few buildings constructed this way, none that I know of. It there are any, they have not been hit by airplanes.

    It has been very clearly explained. It only defies physics if you do not understand physics.

    Those claiming that thermite was used clearly do not understand the quantity that would have been required to do that much damage

    Clearly not impossible, especially considering the way the towers were constructed.

    The steel did not need to melt. Steel looses most of its strength as temperatures rise. At 600˚C, 1112˚F, steel has lost over 50% of its yield strength. The molten material seen spilling from the tower prior to collapse was most likely part of the 50 TONS of aluminum airplane that had melted in the inferno.

    Rubbles are worthless Russian currency. I believe you mean rubble, which was indeed cleared quickly. What else would you do with all of that material? it is unfortunate that we no longer have the capability to handle this task in house.

    IF you actually investigate, you would know those "Flame Cuts" were to remove parts that were welded to columns to facilitate lifting during construction. They are removed when the column is in place. A very common technique.

    She was an Internationally renowned evolutionary biologist. She can make any statement she wants. Her credentials "Professor Lynn Margulis, Department of Geosciences, University of Massachusetts at Amherst" do not add any value to her opinion in this area.

    I read both sides, If you wish to provide evidence of your comments, I will consider it. If you will read a bit more with an open mind. This for example.
