Reply #103: They're still doing DNA tests. [View All]

There's a little mobile lab of people in NYC who are still testing bits and pieces of human remains to try to identify the missing. Last week they released a couple of new names, but as I recall there are about a thousand people whose remains have not been identified.

Should I assume (a) there's a lot of work to be done and it takes time to do it; or (b) there's a government conspiracy hiding a thousand people?

The moral is, it takes time to do a thorough investigation of something this enormous and messy.

However, there are some things that are well understood, like why the two towers fell nearly straight down, and how the fire damaged the steel in the buildings. There are dozens of well-done engineering studies on the web that explain these things nicely, and which are consistent with what I saw myself.

Also, the material from the site was not hauled away in secret and hidden. That's just a hoax.

They are still working on exactly why things fell where they fell, but as an eyewitness to the collapse and as someone who's been to Ground Zero a few times, there's no big mystery about what happened there.
