A couple of thoughts:
1. Architects know fuck all about the engineering behind an 80 storey building so their opinion is carries no more weight than anyone else's.
2. There are probably about 50 structural Engineers in North America who have the experience to design a tower like the WTC. (And by that I mean 50 guys, not 50 companies.) For example, in Toronto, that would be some guy working at Yolles. Other than that, dunno who.
3. It was not a controlled demolition because planting charges would take 2 or 3 months of work (not counting the prep work and thought that would go into it). You would need to cut away not only the drywall surrounding the steel columns, but the fireproofing, AND then you'd need to cut holes in the steel columns themselves. All of them. Now think about it - I know people can be really dumb. But do you really think that everyone working in the WTC is THAT dumb that they wouldn't notice columns being flame cut throughout the building? Please. You'd need to completely pull apart offices, do the work, never mind you need to buy the explosives and run thousands of wires totaling thousands of miles of wire. Not possible.
4. Someone in the demolition crew would have talked by now.
5. I have seen interviews with the Structural Engineer who designed the building. If he (of all people) doesn't buy into the controlled demolition theory than that seals the deal.
I can't believe people are so stupid as to think it was some sort of conspiracy.
