OK, I'll be serious for just this once.
I was a nuclear-trained electrician in the Navy, on several submarines. 14 years active duty. Also was an instructor at Interior Communications Class "A" school. Worked as an instrument tech at a building insulation factory for 12 years, now do control system programming for water & wastewater plants for an engineering company.
In other words, just another old coot.

Yes, he apparently has extensive experience as an uncertified surveyor, unceritifed draftsman, (probably uncertified) welder, high school dropout, and paranoid conspiracy theorist.
This, of course, makes him qualified to speak on every issue relating to 9/11, ever.

5+ years experience as a structural designer for engineered building components. I worked primarily with wood trusses (floor and roof), but I also designed steel trusses, sized steel columns and beams, sized and specified engineered lumber products, hangers, nails, screws and just about any other peice of material you can think of in the building industry. I have done full engineering design on structures that range from small houses to multi-level elderly retirement complexes.
I worked under a P.E. and all of my calcs were verified and sealed.
I am also a photographer - nothing professional, but I know much more than the fundamentals and more than enough to understand many of the anomolies that woos love to point to. Although it doesn't come into play much with 9/11 debunkung, it's nice to know the ins and outs of photography when it comes to many other woo claims ("no stars in moon photographs", orbs).
Currently, I am a programmer and database admin, but I continue to work within the construction industry.

Actually, 28th did post. Claimed he wasn't a fool. Still waiting for proof on that.

No university qualifiations. A Higher National Certificate in mechanical engineering (day release), followed by nineteen years of fire-resistance testing (I finished up running the lab). A further fifteen years working for the Building Research Establishment doing various fire testing projects, including test development. So, I know a little bit about how fires burn.
Now semi retired.

That one bit alone makes you more qualified than the Ctists I've seen. I swear not a one of them has ever even swung a hammer in earnest.
I would argue that we've seen plenty of proof to the contrary.
No experts, friend, only specialists. Do words not mean the same things to this guy as to the rest of humanity?

I have a doctorate in English, which disqualifies me for everything.

IC A School, hey?
I worked with ICs when I was in the Navy. They maintained the TV cameras and radio equipment in our AFRTS station in Japan. Very smart, sharp guys. If they were typical of the rate and the training you conducted, you should be very proud. I have a lot of respect for them.

Not in the conspiracy world. In their world, you could be a god!
You have a doctorate! They could claim that another PhD (don't expect them to mention it's a PhD in a subject unrelated to their insane theories) supports their cause.
You could have it all:

Nothing. I'm a computer programmer with an ability for reasoning higher than the common male Mandril.
Oh, and I don't trust common sense.
Other than that, zilch.

All they would say is that we've made a bunch of claims but that we haven't proved it so they are free to discount our purerile boastings...
Seriously, I am astounded at the level of expertise available here. I knew we were good, but I had no idea we were this good...
I am humbled to be able to do modestly help where I can with this much brainpower available.

BS Mechanical Engineering
MS Nuclear Engineering, specializing in thermal hydraulics (not completely done -- finishing my thesis while working)
Less than 4 months work experience in nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics.
My expertise is in heat transfer. I focused on it during my undergraduate schooling and was a TA for my undergraduate school's heat transfer course. My Master's thesis also focuses on heat transfer.
I am also well versed in statics, dynamics, and material science. I did undergraduate research in materials, finding the material properties of new alloys.

MBA with an emphasis in Marketing and Consumer Behavior.
The CTs have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on the snake oil. More has been spent on web-designs and other communications vehicles. There's a lot of money to made off of these Nit-wits...which is the true motivation behind David Ray Griffen, Steven Jones and the LC idiots.

I performed a controlled demolition of a shed in my back yard this past summer. One thing I have to say: Thank God for gravity! It would be hell if you had to break buildings into tiny pieces before they would fall.

No, I know you used thermite. I have photos that show a shed that was covered in aluminum siding, therefore all sheds contain thermite, and it's there for CD at a later time.
It's twooo, it's twoo, it's weally twoo!
my turn
I am a New Yorker. I am familiar with Manhattan prior to 9/11 and was in the WTC several times in 2001 prior to 9/11.
I am Jewish. I was not involved in the planning of 9/11 nor did I receive any phone calls from the Israeli government telling to avoid downtown Manhattan.
I have a BA in economics from NYU. It has no relevance to 9/11 other than I know 9/11 was not done for the insurance.
I was & will be again an Emergency Medical Technician. I participated in a Mass Causalty Drill simulating a terror attack in Nyack NY in 2001. The scene was chaotic in the simulation. It was a similar type of situation described by everyone from the FDNY to Norad to the White House on 9/11. I had my scanner on when WTC 7 went down and it seemed like a surprise to the NYPD officers on the radio.
It seems I can eliminate many ct theories with my experience.
