    Default Wash. Times Asks: "How did the Towers Fall so fast?

    A lingering technical question about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks still haunts some, and it has political implications: How did 200,000 tons of steel disintegrate and drop in 11 seconds? A thousand architects and engineers want to know, and are calling on Congress to order a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 at the World Trade Center.

    "In order to bring down this kind of mass in such a short period of time, the material must have been artificially, exploded outwards," says Richard Gage, a San Francisco architect and founder of the nonprofit Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.

    Mr. Gage, who is a member of the American Institute of Architects, managed to persuade more than 1,000 of his peers to sign a new petition requesting a formal inquiry.

    "The official Federal Emergency Management [Agency] and National Institute of Standards and Technology reports provide insufficient, contradictory and fraudulent accounts of the circumstances of the towers' destruction. We are therefore calling for a grand jury investigation of NIST officials," Mr. Gage adds.

    The technical issues surrounding the collapse of the towers has prompted years of debate, rebuttal and ridicule.

    Jim I watched a special on this very subject a month or so ago, they had some of the best architects and engineers in the world involved with the investigation of 9/11 and none could say anything other than what we all now

    Cp I made a inappropriate joke and I apologize to you, but it bothers me a lot to think people are still trying to prove the government did this, I think we all ought to be standing together as one to when it comes to a tragedy like this instead of trying to blame what has been proven over and over to be not true

    I've read the report by the American Society of Civil Engineers. I design structures and have studied the tower's original drawings. People think that because somethings really big it's invincible and will be around forever.

    1. I actually believe this, because I was there watching it when GW bent over and these invisable laser beams shot out of his bum.

    I dont for a millisecond put the government past anything,
    but if for no other reason there is no way, considering how
    many people something like this would require could possibly keep their mouths shut.

    Wouldnt flaming jet fuel have some impact on bringing
    the towers down????
    What are reparations? Making me pay
    for something I had nothing to do with compensates no one
    who suffered an injustice therefore I would be penalized for
    something I didnt do and someone else would receive a settlement
    for an injury they did not suffer.

    No.. over 90% of the fuel was consumed on impact.. Jet fuel doesn't sit and burn for minutes.. once ignited, it quickly burns up...

    Wrong. Only the surface of the fuel burns. Lots of fuel drained down into lower floors.
