It was a response to people who say the dust clowd, could only be generated by a controled demolition, and the collapse of the towers.

I'm not a building inspector in New York, or an architect. I am one who would install, and maintain such a system. I also know if you didn't have safety systems in place, you wouldn't get an insurance company underwrite a policy.

I did all of this four bloody years ago and I came to the conclusion that there wasn't any compelling evidence that supported a conspiracy theory.

Really?
Them getting their "New Pearl Harbor", obstructing any investigation, loading the commission with people that CYA, and sacrificing thousands more New Yorkers by rewriting the EPA report, doesn't ease my mind any.

Glad you cleared that up, I was starting to thing you just skim threads.

Agreed, but given the lack of military response, they may have gotten a little help from their friends. I mean OBL could not have placed those false blips on radar screens.
