@jagged: If what NIST said was true, wouldnt you think that Engineers & Architects would want to study the reasons why it all collapsed? WHy other buildings collapsed? It should create in depth Research & Physics... it should THey spent less money to investigate than what they spent to know about Clinton's shenanigans in the Oval Office! Annually, they always talk about the devastation. That is important too. But, just like with Military Historians, there is a need for robust, analytical, and powerful analysis ... however, it seems mute! Like, the uncomfortable truths that people "prefer not to know" to keep together their own comfort & paradigms.
