"Single Point of Failure: How the Loss of One Column May Have Led to the Collapse of WTC 7"

As for the "scholars" who insist that it was a controlled demolition
- None of the conspiracy "scholars" have passed a peer reviewed paper in a respected scientific journal saying the collapse of the towers was impossible.
- Many peer reviewed papers have been passed in respected scientific journals saying the towers collapsed from impact and fire alone.
- The few scholars who say they are structural engineers and are conspiracy theorists are not working in the field.
- Dr. Fetzer wrote books on JFK and moon landing conspiracies.
- Prof. Jones was a physicist who worked on cold fusion and not structural or civil engineering.
- Prof. Judy Woods was a dental engineer and did not have a job in structural engineering.
- Gordon Ross is not a structural engineer. None of his so called "papers" have passed peer review by a respected scientific journal. He hasn't made a single attempt in a respected journal.
- The scholars for 9/11 truth created their own journal which has no impact to the scientific community and is created by and for the conspiracy theorist community.
- Conspiracy theorists haven't tried to pass a peer reviewed paper in a respected scientific journal. This proves they have little faith in their own work.
- Structural engineers in Jones own university call his hypothesis "very unreliable".
It's really hard to imagine that all of those papers that say it wasn't a controlled demolition have passed peer review but not a single paper has been put forth for review that claims it was a controlled demolition....IF it was actually a controlled demolition or if it was impossible for the building to collapse into it's own footprint from fire and impact damage alone.
