I viewed this as a well-balanced design structure falling straight down.

Is there some reason why you, and others are so willing to completely dismiss any credible investigation? Not a rhetorical question, why are people so willing to just completely ignore the fact that a reasonable investigation was never done?

I don't understand this. I'm not sure what kind of investigation you felt was needed. I watched the airplane fly into building #2, so I knew why it fell and how.

1. We all know now, with 20/20 hindsight, that Iraq was not involved in the 9/11 attack yet the very day of the attack Cheney tells his top advisors he wants this to be blamed on Iraq. (Perhaps raising the odds of this being an inside job from 1 in a million to 1 in 210).

What do you mean "inside job?"

2. We all know that Cheney had a classified, top secret meeting with all the Oil executives about 8-9 months prior to the attack. A meeting that was not ever scrutinized because unlike the President of the US, the vice president is not subject to the oversight of the Senate because he is not part of the executive branch of government?! However, Cheney and others do have a report in a high level think tank in which they say that they need to transform the military to a high tech armaments but without a Pearl Harbor like event as a catalyst this transformation will take several decades. (Perhaps raising the odds of this being an inside job from 1 in 210 to 1 in 21).

Most folks don't know about these top secret meetings.

3. Regardless of how you try to explain what happened it is completely totally hypothetical and that is because the President of the US ordered the military to come in and seize and destroy all evidence. (Perhaps raising the odds of this being an inside job from 1 in 21 to 50/50).

What evidence was destroyed? I thought it was hauled off to a land fill, after carefully checking for DNA.

4. Regardless of how reasonable you might think the collapse from an airplane fire is, the fact is there have been 100 major fires in steel high rise buildings that didn't result in a collapse. Many of these fires were far more horrific and burned for many more hours without collapse. (Perhaps raising the odds of an inside job to 20:1)

I know of two bridges that melted due to relatively small fires. I would think each case needs to be examined. Modern airliners with a full tank of gas landing inside of a tower is pretty rare event.

5. I always thought it took a very sophisticated demolition team to bring a building like the World Trade towers to collapse in on itself. So the odds of this happening by chance, that the fire knocked off the fire retardant on all 58 columns equally, and at the same time, and that an oxygen starved fire was able to burn hot enough to cause all 58 to fail at precisely the same instant, that is truly amazing coincidence. (Perhaps raising the odds of an inside job to 2,000:1).

With the entire weight of that tower in motion, those 58 posts all crumbled together like toothpicks.

6. But it gets better because it happened a second time on the same day. Wow! (Oops, make that 2,000,000:1)

7. But it gets better because it happened a third time on the same day, and this time without even an airplane crashing into the building. Triple wow. (Oops, make that 2,000,000,000:1).

I've heard this a couple times before, and not sure what to make of it, not knowing all the facts.

8. We also know that the alarm was first blown by those brought in to investigate the collapse. They have claimed that key tests were not done, nor did they have access to the physical evidence. (Maybe 10 billion to 1).

What alarm are you referring to? What key tests should have been done?

9. So concerned were they that they did their own private investigation. In the dust they discovered evidence of thermite which would explain a fire hot enough to burn steel, it would explain a fire burning for a month, it would explain a fire that is 2,000 degrees, and it would not be explained by airplanes. (Perhaps 1 trillion to 1).

Not aware that thermite was discovered in significant quantities.
