Once again we see the 9/11 story getting a bit of scrutiny from the awakening MSM.
Look what happens when you read the academic paper questioning the official version of the collapse of the three World Trade Center buildings that Brigham Young University physics professor Steven E. Jones recently posted at physics.byu.edu/research/energy/htm7.html.
Jones is an honest-to-goodness scientist whose specialties are metal-catalyzed fusion, solar energy and something called archaeometry. The 9,000-word abstract, part of a 2006 book called "The Hidden History of 9/11/2001," asks, "Why Indeed did the WTC Buildings Collapse?"

This is the first time I've done a diary on 9/11. I often defend other peoples when they are well written and stick to realistic questions. Though I don't agree with the debunkers, I see their point about not turning this sight into Rense or DU. (No Pod People) However, if its in the MSM like here
http://www.pittsburghlive.com/... , its fair game, as far as I'm concerned. This is one of the most objective MSM articles I have seen to date on the topic.
Based on the laws of physics, the virtual indestructibility of steel-framed buildings and the suspiciously fast way WTC towers 1, 2 and especially 7 collapsed, Jones asserts they could only have been brought down the same way Three Rivers Stadium was -- by pre-positioned explosives.
Now, that's a conspiracy!
Professor Jones really did his science homework. He supplies links to slow-motion video of collapsing buildings, discuses their well-engineered innards at length and doggedly critiques the official explanation. Jones isn't the first to make this shocking/unbelievable claim (see wtc7.net). But it's hard to imagine anyone making it clearer.
Props to Brad Steigerwald, for taking fair look at this, and for providing some good links as well.
