about Richard Gage who was NOT involved in the tower design.

from that page:
"The mainstream of the scientific and engineering community has rejected the position taken by the group. In 2005, a report from the National Institute of Standards and Technology concluded that the destruction of the World Trade Center towers was initiated by a "progressive collapse" caused by the jet impacts and the resultant fires. A 2008 NIST report described a similar progressive collapse as the cause of the destruction of the third tallest building located at the World Trade Center site, 7 WTC. Many mainstream scientists choose not to debate proponents of 9/11 conspiracy theories, saying they do not want to lend them unwarranted credibility.[38]"

...I sure see their point...


from a link at the bottom of that page, giving more detail than even I had read before.

Q&A giving main claims about WTC7 and specific, detailed answers

But.. since some have already decided that the NIST is hiding something, I don't expect them to give any credence to it.... this is for those who may look in and be unsure... just to show that qualified experts HAVE replied to all the major accusations.

With a little searching, it is possible to find official explanations, counters TO those; some of the most unbelievable theories one can imagine, a few replies to THOSE theories, and more arcane technical data than most of us can even cope with.

Despite some allegations otherwise, I have looked at the links and watched the videos Carol and others have posted, and when I say I am unconvinced, it is because I have compared those hypothetical 'questions' to the official replies.
