#1 I think you'd need to trap the heat better, maybe tinfoil (no pun intended) wrapped around the chicken wire?

#2 The holes punched by the planes giving a draft, and all of that fuel (jet fuel, paper, etc.) above the holes, turned the towers into something pretty close to blast furnaces. Remember the smoke turning from black to greyish white? That's the signature of a very hot fire. Remember that it took several days for the fire to go out? This 'experiment' is laughable.

#5 The XXXXX DU Twin Tower Chicken Coop Experiment!

I think we should encourage him to build a chicken coop about 100 stories high and then invite some islamo types to fly into it to prove his thesis. oh yea.. we insist he stand on top during the testing phase.

#7 The fencing was bent into an outer square and an inner rectangle (the core)...

Mistake number one, the WTC had NO "Core", so he's doubled the strength right here.

#9 Jim: Not quite correct. There was an inner core to the building which had the elevator shafts, stairwells, and utilities, which was built using conventional skyscraper construction.

There's a long and very detailed pdf-format report on the construction of the two buildings and the causes of the collapse here.

#10 Next up? I'ma gonna go fly a balsa-wood airplane into Stone Mountain (GA) to "prove" the Pentagon was also blown up by Rove/Halliburton because the resulting hole in Stone Mountain is smaller than the wingspan of my balsa wood "747". Good gawd, these'n guys obviously aren't engineers, are they, much less "smart" by any stretch of the imagination.

#11 100,000 lbs of jetfuel atomized across 3 floors of the world trade center.

A bucket of kerosene under a piece of chicken wire.

Yeah, he's convinced me.

That he's a fucking moron.

#12 Very sad, these IQ-challenged. This one's even contributing to global warming to make his mindless point.

#13 This so-called "experiment" would barely earn an "F" as a middle-school Science Fair project.

And these are the fucking idiots the Democratic Party is pandering to these days. God help us if these jerks ever get back in power...

#18 115. Please tell me you're joking.
This is the kind of thing that gives DU a moonbat image.

He he.

Btw, note that my own 9/11 conspiracy theories lean more toward state involment by Iran, Iraq, ISI, plus bosnian, sudanese, possibly russian, rogue elements,... and potential cover-ups of that extra dimension for political/PC reasons.
But I'm only half-remembering things written by commenters here, now and then, plus a few half understood articles linked by by John or DD.
Like the promised JFM article on the socialist link to 11M, this is something I'd like to see clarified by actually knowledgeable persons in original op pieces.

#23 Apparently there is such a thing as the "Journal of 9/11 Studies." which is edited by a physics prof at BYU and a ME prof from Clemson. The studies are all wacko conspiracy stuff.

Remarkably, their June 2006 edition just came out:
http://www.journalof911studies.com/.

My guess is that these are two adjunct profs looking to get a big fat grant from the Arab world but they may simply be infected with BDS.
