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.
