... I pretty much agree with analysis you and other structural engineers have had to say on this particularly sordid historical event. Unfortunately, as I'm sure you are also well resigned to, your arguments will do little to change the minds of what appear to be a number of vocal participants who remain convinced the WTC buildings were brought down by missiles pre-launched by the jets, combined with a carefully planned conspiracy that had to have been conceived and implemented from within the highest echelons of our government. It seems to me that it's really not about uncovering the awful truths of what actually happened on that awful day of 9/11. It's more about grappling with the belief that we live in a cynical world where intrigue and deception lurks in most of the established institutions that run the daily affairs of our mundane lives, for which many of us may occasionally feel helpless to change. As I have suggested many times in the past: Chose your conspiracies wisely. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com
