AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the NOVA program that explores the engineering of the new World Trade Center and the 9/11 memorial, which one participant found to be a compelling episode. Others engaged by sharing links to the program and shorter videos available online. A significant point of contention arises with a participant mentioning a conspiracy theory regarding the 9/11 attacks being a "controlled demolition," referencing a site that promotes this view. The conversation shifts towards debunking these conspiracy theories, with one member suggesting that the Skeptical Society effectively addresses these myths. However, another participant reminds the group that the primary focus should remain on the new construction rather than conspiracy theories.

Did anyone see the NOVA program on engineering the new WTC and the 9/11 memorial? I thought it was a very good episode.

Thanks

I have an acquaintence who claims the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center towers was a "controlled demolition". He referred me to the site

"http://www2.ae911truth.org/twintowers.php"

for proof. There I found alleged architects and engineers spouting conspiracies and trying to justify their beliefs with hard science. Can anyone help debunk those myths?

For me the Skeptical Society debunks all those myths perfectly.

We really don't deal with conspiracy theories here. The OP is about the NEW building that is under construction.

Sorry, I misread the OP!
 
Every day we learn new things. Sometimes it's just a small fact or realization. No matter how trivial or random, let's start recording our daily lessons. Please start off with "Today I learned". Keep commentary to a minimum and just LIKE posts. I'll start! Today I learned that you clean up a white hat by spraying some cleaner with bleach on it (rinse before putting it back on your head!)
