57. Why do truthers pretend that

Mon Sep 30, 2013, 10:55 AM

Sep 2013

no one has 'ever heard of building 7' or 'ever heard of AE/911'?
Especially in a relevant field, like professional architects and engineers? You think they don't know building codes were changed after 9/11 as a result of what happened? Practically every professional journal relevant to the field has addressed what happened and why. They are QUITE aware of the 'controversy'.

Bullshit AE/911 only had 100-200 'professionals' in 2005. BULLSHIT.

There has been plenty of controversy over the code changes hashed and re-hashed, primarily due to cost and aesthetics. Or cost-benefit tradeoffs that recommendations like wider stairwells won't help, or reinforced stairways are 'unnecessary'. It all boils down to bitching about cost, mostly.

When someone says 'ALMOST 2000' like it's a relevant point, it's important to fix it in context. AtheistCrusader Sep 2013 #46

But it's the wrong context. freedom fighter jh Sep 2013 #53
