In the mythology of movies and books, the best way to kill a werewolf is with a silver bullet. In the real world, a silver bullet’s only power is in its metaphorical meaning as something that can bring an instant stop to something else.
PolitiFact has now made it an annual tradition to mark the 9/11 anniversary by pushing disinformation about the largest mass murder ever on U.S. soil.
This article is the second installment of a two-part research project we began in July 2020 with the article “How 36 Reporters Brought Us the Twin Towers’ Explosive Demolition on 9/11.”
In that article, our goal was to determine the prevalence, among television reporters on 9/11, of the hypothesis that explosions had brought down the Twin Towers. Through careful review of approximately 70 hours of news coverage on 11 different channels, we found that the explosion hypothesis was not only common among reporters but was, in fact, the dominant hypothesis.
Our second question, which we set aside for the present article, was to determine how, despite its prevalence, the explosion hypothesis was supplanted by the hypothesis of fire-induced collapse.

This article describes a series of FOIA (Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552) requests that I filed from 2009 to 2014 seeking information related to the alleged walk-off failures in WTC 7. Excerpts from these FOIA requests and appeals to NIST are indented in the following paragraphs. Links to the FOIA requests, appeals, and responses are provided throughout. All relevant documents regarding the design and construction of WTC 7 can be obtained by request from NIST, so that anyone with the requisite expertise can verify my observations. NIST’s responses, or lack thereof, to my technical questions should be enlightening to anyone studying the WTC tragedy.
A few days before the new year, I was greatly saddened to learn about the passing of retired Port Authority Police Department Sergeant Susan Martha Keane. She had died exactly two months earlier, on October 28, 2021, from a heart attack in her home in Palm Bay, Florida. She was only 62 years old.

Refuting a Demolition Denier’s False Claims about Iron Microspheres
Mick West, owner of the website metabunk.org, is perhaps the most influential demolition denier on the internet today.
This article is a record of major high-rise fires around the world over the past 50 years. As the record shows, neither before nor since 9/11 has a steel-frame, fire-protected high-rise experienced a total collapse due to fire
