9/11: why the official account of the destruction of the World Trade Center cannot be true

This post is neither about Christian mission nor about Africa nor about children's writing. It's about 9/11. For now, I'll understate the argument because I believe in treading softly.

The official 9/11 Commission Report leaves a lot of unanswered questions about the events of 11 September 2001. Many people around the world are uneasy about the Report, including these professors.

There are hundreds of thousands of web-pages now devoted to exploring 9/11 evidence. I started with www.911exposed.org which contains a lot of well-referenced material but you may be put off by its rather sensationalist tone.

I recommend the following article by Professor David Griffin, which is rather long but well worth reading in full: The Destruction of the World Trade Center: Why the Official Account Cannot be True. The destruction of the towers is only one aspect of 9/11 research, but an excellent place to start if you are new to all this (as indeed I was a few days ago!). 'In the present essay,' Griffin writes, 'I focus on one question: why the Twin Towers and building 7 of the World Trade Center collapsed. One advantage of this focus, besides the fact that it allows us to go into considerable detail, is that the destruction of the World Trade Center provides one of the best windows into the truth about 9/11.'

I also recommend www.911scholars.org. This site is interesting because it engages intelligently with supporters of the 'official' line on 9/11 (see the Opinion Pieces in the right column).

If you have never looked at this issue seriously, have a probe and see what you think.
