I don't know how many crazy Hacker News readers are there but I know that there are at least 2330 architects and engineers who think like me. http://www.ae911truth.org/

Given the population size, 2330 individuals isn't a very large percentage.

A quick search indicates that there are ~107,000 architects in the US[1][2], and there are ~272,000 civil engineers[3] in the US. So, 2330 signatories is < 1%.

Get 15% to sign off, then it might get attention.

I worked as a mechanical engineer at a company that had 3x as many engineers as that number in one building. We all did a lot of calculations involving explosions, designing systems to survive explosions, etc. I bet if you polled every single one of them, it would be a unanimous agreement that airplanes caused the damage on 9/11.

Also note, architects are not the right people to be quoting for this. When we hired architects, they did lots of design work, but never ended up on the calculation side of the process. Explosive loads are completely different from static loads, and architects don't learn that stuff. So I imagine you have a lot of architects that don't know what they are talking about in that 2330.

If you are arguing that it was a false flag operation that flew the planes, good luck with that, but it has nothing to do with science or engineering.

The thing that never ceased to amaze me is the collapse of WT7. I can't explain it.

I can't explain how to perform an appendectomy. When I can't explain something, I rely on the knowledge of experts:

And somehow your incompetence makes you an expert?
