Abstract: Reports by FEMA and NIST lay out the official account of the destruction of the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001. In this Letter, we wish to set a foundation for productive discussion and understanding by focusing on those areas where we find common ground with FEMA and NIST, while at the same time countering several popular myths about the WTC collapses.
This is a letter published in a peer-reviewed open access civil engineering journal. The authors, Dr. Steven E. Jones, Dr. Frank M. Legge, Kevin R. Ryan, Anthony F. Szamboti, James R. Gourley are known for hypothesizing that on 9/11 WTC 1, 2 & 7 were destroyed by controlled demolition. In their letter they seek to reach agreement on grounds for "productive discussion" on the subject of the destruction of WTC 1, 2 & 7, based on the 14 points outlined in the letter, which are based on assertions of fact already made by NIST (and FEMA; NIST has not yet released it's report on WTC 7, the 47 story sky-scraper that also completely "collapsed" on 9/11). Given that the authors agree with the NIST and FEMA reports on all 14 points listed in the article, what's the issue? The issue is that the NIST and FEMA reports appear to be grossly inadequate, contradicting both their own conclusions and established facts. Read and see for yourself whether or not you agree; now that this has been published, the scientific community is debating it. It will be interesting to see if "debunkers" can get a paper published in a peer-reviewed journal that rebuts these 14 points made by NIST (and FEMA), while still supporting the official theory that plane damage, jet fuel fires and 15 and 30 stories of building mass were the cause of the complete destruction of 95 and 80 stories of steel-frame and concrete sky-scrapers.
