I have been arguing this in another forum. A religious right wing forum, all they could do was insult me but could not explain how two airplanes could take down three buildings at free fall speeds on top of their own foot prints.
The argument is that the jet fuel started a fire hot enough to weaken the steal frame causing a floor to collapse, thus creating a pancake effect causing the buildings to fall straight down. This not only happened once, but three times.
Bombs and airplanes have hit buildings in the past, however, no where in history has this ever happened before. And still, this does not explain how the buildings fell straight down or at free fall speeds. This theory is so stupid that no one dare put their name on it, so the official line reads, "experts say."
One expert and others supporting him are not afraid to give their name.

Dr. Steven E. Jones, Physicist and Archaeometrist recently retired from BYO for his controversial ideas.
quote:
1. Email to Prof Jones from a structural engineer in Texas:
"It occurred to me that structural engineers and architects are practitioners of static physics [like yourself] although we use different terminology peculiar to our professions to elaborate on our designs.
I am surprised how few of my colleagues have expressed public disbelief at the official line which lurches from theory to theory as the shortcomings of each became apparent. I guess they have run out of ideas on Building 7.
You nailed the biggest problem when you focused on the symmetry of collapse in comparison to the asymmetry of the damage... Steel high rises are designed (and overdesigned) as cantilever beams on end. There is so much redundant steel in these buildings because they have to resist hurricane force winds. Was there a hurricane in New York on Sept 11?
If steel framed structures designed by world class engineers (who are still being commissioned to design high rises elsewhere in the world) can collapse with so little provocation, I should send my diploma back and take up fortune telling.
So astute that the president promptly declared 9/11 an Act of War (the truth, sort of). This relieved the designers of having to defend themselves for negligent design. No professional liability policies cover war (because of exposure to explosives etc.), so no deep pockets to make a lawsuit worth while. So no engineer singing to a jury…"
Mr. Jones explains the explosions many heard just before the buildings collapsed and the molten steal found weeks afterwards, the official explanation doesn't.
