What's up with these washed up Architects and engineers with thier stupid WTC conspiracy theories?

The Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth organization suggest that 9/11 was an inside job, meaning bombs were planted to make the WTC towers collapse, which i think is very stupid.

I think the only reason people are even listening to the buffoons is because they're architects and engineers so they think that they must be important or know what they're talking about, when in reality they're just washed up engineers and conspiracy theorist who wants to capitalized on fame off of peoples tragedy. Basically, they just want attention.

What do you think?

    So you think it's completely viable for a engineered high-rise building constructed of steel, high-tension cables, and concrete to burn for a couple of hours, and collapse straight down to the ground from an airplane landing between it's 42 and 44th floor?

    Was there any justification given for why the ground levels gave out? How much does a 747 weigh? What is the weight capacity of a building in the WTC classification?

    And then for neighboring buildings to follow suit? 4 other buildings besides the two towers collapsed that day. One of them was nearly 2 city blocks away from the impacted towers. All of them belonged to the same owner.

    Regardless of conspiracy theory, it is highly apparent that the truth is hidden from sight.

    I think that you are absolutely correct.

    The collapse of the towers was due to structural failure of the upper floors caused by the loss in strength of the buildings structural support members due to the heat generated by the burning fuel.

    As those floors collaped onto the lower floors, the building just sequentially collapsed upon itself.

    I agree. Next question.
