3. Why?

Even though Brookman claims to be an expert, for some reason it wasn't until after listening to Gage's schtick that he "concluded" that if WTC7 looked like a controlled demolition, then the buildings must have been brought down with magical silent explosives.

Brookman believes that not only did magical silent explosives bring down the two towers, but an extra fuckton of magical silent explosives must have must have been added to blow huge sections onto WTC7 to start the fires.

Brookman thinks NIST should have tested the debris for magical silent explosive residue but unfortunately neglects to tell us what chemicals they should have tested for, since it was certainly not RDX or C4 or dynamite or any other known explosive, which would have easily been heard in New Jersey, deafening (if not killing) anyone nearby, and broken windows for blocks.

Brookman's "expert opinion" as a structural engineer is that columns broken by buckling, as in the NIST simulation, should have somehow offered some resistance to the 8-story fall, so they must have been broken by magical silent explosives instead of buckling.

Brookman says that if he had been the engineer on the project, he would have added shear studs on the girders that NIST says didn't have any, so NIST must be wrong or intentionally lying about that, so magical silent explosives is the only alternative he can think of.

Brookman believes that since NIST didn't prove their "probable cause" hypothesis, a more probable hypothesis is magical silent explosives, so we need a new investigation to bring "justice" to 9/11 by confirming that he is right.

Kick back atcha, wildbill. Can you explain to me, in your own words, why you think anyone on DU should waste time shoveling through this same idiotic bullshit one more time?

8. dishonest bullshit!

"Even though Brookman claims to be an expert, for some reason it wasn't until after listening to Gage's schtick that he "concluded" that if WTC7 looked like a controlled demolition, then the buildings must have been brought down with magical silent explosives. "
He made no such claim! Your assertion is false and you know it to be so!

2. Fascinating.

Professor Steve (or Stephan) Young from BYU also had questions about this.

5. Where can you find people who have no clue what happened on 911 - 911 truth, a movement of lies

A long list, albeit less than 0.1 percent of all engineers, of people who can't figure out 911 given 13 years and all the evidence. That is a sure sign of woo.
