Facepalm
A lingering technical question about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks still haunts some, and it has political implications: How did 200,000 tons of steel disintegrate and drop in 11 seconds? A thousand architects and engineers want to know, and are calling on Congress to order a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 at the World Trade Center.
“In order to bring down this kind of mass in such a short period of time, the material must have been artificially, exploded outwards,” says Richard Gage, a San Francisco architect and founder of the nonprofit Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
Mr. Gage, who is a member of the American Institute of Architects, managed to persuade more than 1,000 of his peers to sign a new petition requesting a formal inquiry.
“The official Federal Emergency Management [Agency] and National Institute of Standards and Technology reports provide insufficient, contradictory and fraudulent accounts of the circumstances of the towers’ destruction. We are therefore calling for a grand jury investigation of NIST officials,” Mr. Gage adds.
Or, it could be that some people are just out of their gords. Of course, Bulding 7 is mentioned, as it is in so many of the Twoofer conspiracy theories, all stuff that has been debunked time and time again. If you check their website, it is the same old insane Rosie O’Donnell type theories.
“Government officials will be notified that ‘Misprision of Treason,’ U.S. Code 18 (Sec. 2382), is a serious federal offense, which requires those with evidence of treason to act,” Mr. Gage says. “The implications are enormous and may have profound impact on the forthcoming Khalid Shaikh Mohammed trial.”
Why do I get the idea he is an Obama/Democrat voter? Or Ron Paul voter, to be fair. Shockingly, Gage lives in San Francisco.

Once again, this is sheer nonsense. I’d be looking at Mr. Architect’s license, not to mention any buildings he’s built. An obvious incompetent.
Good point. When people go looking for architects and engineers, they might want to check to see if they are one of these crazies.
Architects are pretty good at making buildings that look cool but have trouble standing up on their own. Find me a civil engineer who says the same thing.
