Statement on 9/11: “Most problems scientists deal with are not laden with intense emotional associations. Objectivity is relatively easy to achieve in these cases. In the case of 9/11, we were bombarded incessantly with video recordings of the WTC Twin Towers showing the horrific spectacle and apparent causality of planes hitting, fire/damage resulting, buildings collapsing and people dying; and, while in a heightened emotional state, we were bombarded with explanations of who did it and why. I would encourage you to harken back to the kind of objectivity normal for scientists and take a second or third look at the events of 9/11. Your training and experience is to question hypotheses, looking for weaknesses. Why should you treat the ‘official hypothesis’ of the collapse of the WTC buildings and other 9/11 events, any differently?”
