In summary, the conversation discussed the NOVA program on engineering the new WTC and the 9/11 memorial. One person found it to be a very good episode and shared a link for those who missed it. The conversation then shifted to an acquaintance's belief in a "controlled demolition" of the WTC towers and a website that claims to have proof. The original poster asked for help debunking these claims and another person shared a link from the Skeptical Society. Ultimately, the conversation ended with an apology for misunderstanding the original post.

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.
