911Blogger Oblivious to Obvious Ploy to Defend Official Story by Criticizing It
Quite obviously what this guy is selling is the notion that the twin towers were poorly designed, that they were inherently susceptible to plane impact and fire damage. By criticizing ASCE for saying that NO buildings can be designed to withstand those effects (which is obvious BS) he makes it sound like what is being covered up is the fault of the design of the twin towers' tube structure, which of course we know was perfectly able to sustain the damage caused by the planes on 9/11. So put another strike down for Reprehensor and gang for spreading disinformation without appropriate commentary.Â
Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl, a structural engineer and forensics expert, contends his computer simulations disprove the society's findings that skyscrapers could not be designed to withstand the impact of a jetliner. Astaneh-Asl, who received money from the National Science Foundation to investigate the collapse, insisted most New York skyscrapers built with traditional designs would survive such an impact and prevent the kind of fires that brought down the twin towers. He also questioned the makeup of the society's investigation team. On the team were the wife of the trade center's structural engineer and a representative of the buildings' original design team. "I call this moral corruption," said Astaneh-Asl, who is on the faculty at the University of California, Berkeley.
...and simultaneously trying to revive their LIHOP scenario.
unbelievable that they would still be dishing out this crap as if people still didn't know the difference between warnings of actual terrorist attacks and warnings intended to make the false claims of the official conspiracy theory seem plausible and open to the "incompetence defense" as well as preserving the Islamofascist myth.
U.S. and Allied Intelligence Services Had Penetrated The Very HIGHEST LEVELS of Al Qaeda Prior to 9/11
It is now officially more time-consuming and annoying to keep up with the disinfo coming from the fake truth movement than exposing the 9/11 perps themselves...Â

Sept. 11, 2007: Results of World Trade Center Studies by
Abolhassan Astaneh, Jin Son and Casey Heydari released on 9/11/2007
Abstract
The World Trade Center
A Remembrance and the Release of Results
of a 5-Year Structural Engineering Investigation
By: Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl, Ph.D., P.E., (www.astaneh.net) Professor, University of California, Berkeley
One week after the 9/11/2001 tragedy, started reconnaissance and investigation of the collapsed World Trade Center towers in New York supported by the National Science Foundation. Later, in May of 2002, I testified before the Committee on Science of the House of Representatives on my findings and received drawings of the WTC from the Committee to continue my studies of the WTC structure. Since then, I have led a team of more than 11 highly qualified volunteer researchers and engineers and have completed the analyses of the impact of various airplanes on the World Trade Center towers in order to learn lessons from this tragedy that can be used to prevent such catastrophic collapses and to save lives.
Since the 9/11, each year, I have given a Memorial Lecture on the WTC, remembering the victims and first responders who so heroically gave their lives to save others, and then providing an update on engineering aspects of the collapse and reconstruction of the WTC buildings. This year, I am devoting most of the Memorial Lecture to release, for the first time, the results of our five- year studies of the structural aspects of the WTC design and the collapse. Our 5-year analysis primarily focused on finding an answer to the question of: “What would have happened if instead of the unusual and relatively light bearing wall structural system with no framing, used in the WTC towers, a more traditional system of structural framing used in almost any other structure, was used? Very few people are aware of the fact that the WTC towers did not need to follow any design code and did not need to obtain the construction permit from the City. The structural system used in the towers was an unusual system of “Steel Exterior Bearing Walls and Interior Compression Columns†with no framing system in between. There is no record of use of such a system before or after the design and construction of the World Trade Center. The issue of structural design of the WTC and its effects on the fate of these towers on that tragic day has not been studied or reported by other studies of the WTC. The results presented here will show what would have happened if the towers were designed following the code and using the structural systems used
in almost any other building structure instead of the unique system used in the collapsed WTC towers.
mystery solved - he's Iranian
and no doubt wants to preserve the Islamofascist myth for use in getting "stupid Americans" to overthrow the Mullahs and give him back "his country".
