I hope people don't read your comment and choose not to read the article. I was very moved by how Bobby's death impacted his family and fiancee in different ways. It's an extremely well written piece and doesn't deserve (IMHO) the flippant "tl/dr" treatment given its subject matter and quality.

While the mysterious and unsolved death of their son on 9/11 is a sad and captivating story, I find the juxtaposition between the way his mother and father each handled the grief to be equally fascinating.

> Only a preplanned detonation, he argues, could bring down those towers, and only a lobby embroidered with explosives could explain the injuries to Bobby’s body. He has the full medical examiner’s report.

It was a bit long winded for sure. But learning about the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth organization was interesting at least [1].
