111. Big building on fire, leaning. No firefighters fighting the fire.
That's how he made this determination, mhatrw. It's not that difficult a leap to make. There is no secret information. The building was huge, was on fire, and was leaning over. "It's definitely going down."

Firefighters fight fires to keep buildings from falling down. Structural steel is fireproofed to keep buildings from falling down.

You do understand that the FEMA assessment laid out several scenarios and recommended that a lot more study needed to be done, right? Which is why NIST was commissioned to take over? FEMA doesn't say that fire taking down the building was a low probability. Their best explanation of the specifics is what had the low probability. Do you understand that crucial difference?

On 9/11, many people thought that building was going to fall, and it did. This is undeniable.
