I know this is a retarded request, but I have looked and looked for it. Yes, I used the Search function. No, I could not find it. Maybe I'm not very smart. I don't care. Where is it? Thanks.

More recent discussion over here, beginning with post 96 .

It's not really a discussion though.....a discussion is assuming you have some valid point to discuss.

It's really more of us trying to teach you and correct your errors...and you ignoring science and reason for nutty truther conspiracy crapola.

Actually, as readers can determine for themselves, I am merely asking you:

Where are your peer-reviewed papers? Cuz they ain't here!

Heres 1 more ergo. Careful, close your eyes...inconvenient facts ahead.

Cite the relevant text, please. Bee dunkers don't exactly have a great batting average here. :D

I'm a little surprised by this remark. The paper downloads free from the Internet. If you had looked, you would notice that on page 3745, the authors do in fact feel their paper is consistent with the idea that planes and fire brought down the WTC buildings.

So it does appear, as grandmastershek points out, you are just trolling and in fact know that all of this cited research confirms what we all here at JREF believe.
 
The burden of proof was on bedunkers to show it, not me. Bedunkers lie about everything else, why should I believe you on this? The Banerjee paper is a discussion of WTC 7. How is that a confirmation of the NIST/Bazant collapse model for the towers? Don't bother answering. It isn't.

You have little outside corroboration of the progressive collapse theory for the towers, and no outside corroboration of Bazant's "crush down, crush up" model. Your bedunker list is largely comprised of articles that have nothing to do with either. As bedunkers you either don't understand that, or you're outright lying. I suspect it's both, depending on which flake we're talking about.

Your list of articles, for what you pretend it is, is a joke.
 
This is very strange. I read the article whose name you posted. Apparently you have not. I have read many, but not all, of the articles on that list. There is nothing in them - absolutely nothing - that would make one question the idea that fire and planes brought down the WTC buildings. There is no scientific evidence that anything else happened on 911.

I have said many times that 911 conspiracy theorists have low IQ scores, many talk about having been arrested for drugs and drinking offenses, and many report being marginally employed/educated. It does not surprise me such people have trouble understanding technical papers written for professional scientists.
 
Yes, I'm sure this one:

Impact of the 2001 World Trade Center attack on critical interdependent infrastructures Mendonça, D., Lee II, E.E., Wallace, W.A. 2004 Conference Proceedings - IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics 5, pp. 4053-4058

goes into very deep detail about the plane impacts and how the one-hour fires had to, inevitably, bring the buildings down in under 15 seconds.

or this one:

"Collapse Lessons" Fire Engineering v. 155, no. 10, (2002): 97-103

No major high-rise building has ever collapsed from fire. The WTC was the location for such a fire in 1975; however, the building survived with minor damage and was repaired and returned to service.

or this one:

Use of high-efficiency energy absorbing device to arrest progressive collapse of tall building Zhou, Q., Yu, T.X. 2004 Journal of Engineering Mechanics 130 (10), pp. 1177-1187

or this one:

Gabrielson, T.B., Poese, M.E., & Atchley, A.A. "Acoustic and Vibration Background Noise in the Collapsed Structure of the World Trade Center"
The Journal of Acoustical Society of America v. 113, no. 1, (2003): 45-48.

or this one:

Collapse of towers as applied to September 11 events Cherepanov, G.P. 2008 Materials Science 44 (4), pp. 489-499:

It is established that the floors where the WTC collapses started from were located significantly lower than the floors hit by the terrorists and subjected to fire. This conclusion confirms the same former result obtained by using the simple official theory of pure progressive collapse.

This is a perfect example of what I mean by an inability to understand technical material aimed at professional scientists. This quotation is taken from the abstract. The article itself must be paid for and, as such, I am sure our friend Ego has not read it. It is only 3 pages and has only been cited once since its publication. This citation appears to be French-language book about 911 conspiracy. As such, it is clear the paper has had no influence on the scientific community that deals with these questions.

In fact, there was a thread about this several years back
http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98155
Pay attention particularly to some of the later posts that are technical critiques of another draft of this paper.
 
Scott.

Why should you expect Stundie ergo to have any valid point? This is someone who can't grasp the difference between into and onto. The same person who can't figure out the difference between "essentially" and "actually."

You expect any type of reading for comprehension from someone who doesn't understand basic prepositions? Really?

Then why does it appear in two different listings of your so-called authoritative papers? :D
