Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth
This group is woefully unqualified to judge the cause of WTC collapses. We have observed its gradual growth with half-baked theories intended to bedazzle gullible consumers.
Meanwhile the structural engineer of the WTC Twin Towers, Leslie E. Roberston, has been successful at reestablishing his reputation so much that his firm (LERA) is the top structural peer reviewer for NYC's supertall structures.
This is not to overlook the likelihood of Robertson's peer review is not part of a public deception about the safety of supertalls as the City of New York Department of Buildings has sharply diminished its evaluation of submitted construction drawings since 1975 under pressure from banks, developers and contractrs and after 9/11 accelerated its sweethearting to favor supertalls by use of, what else, replacement of experienced human reviewers with inexperienced computer jockies who are forbidden to visit and inspect actual construction sites.
Cryptome is publishing complete sets of supertall construction drawings under the title of "The Most Dangerous NYC Buildings:"
The Introduction's first three documents lay out how this has come about. TDO is on the right track but it is certainly going to be fiercely opposed by the global FIRE industry by way of the customary bag of demonization. One way to do that is accuse TDO of being a FIRE operation.
