Don > There are a lot of aspects of 9/11 that are well documented, but the great tire and engine debate is not one of them. As researchers, or rather, quasi-researchers, I felt the veracity of the aircraft themselves was an aspect we had not dealt with. That's why I raised it. Otherwise, what we do is very much heating the same stew over and over again, maybe with a different cook or a different recipe. I can't speak for others but, from a personal point of view, I have to look in every nook and cranny in order to satisfy myself that every aspect has been covered. Apropos the Popular Mechanics' piece, are you aware of this ... popularmechanics.com >>While heading a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) probe into the collapse of the towers, W. Gene Corley studied the airplane wreckage. A licensed structural engineer with Construction Technology Laboratories, a consulting firm based in Skokie, Ill., Corley and his team photographed aircraft debris on the roof of WTC 5, including a chunk of fuselage that clearly had passenger windows. "It's ... from the United Airlines plane that hit Tower 2," Corley states flatly. In reviewing crash footage taken by an ABC news crew, Corley was able to track the trajectory of the fragments he studied--including a section of the landing gear and part of an engine--as they tore through the South Tower, exited from the building's north side and fell from the sky.<< .... and also the picture of the aircraft windows adjoining the text? media.popularmechanics.com I know you are not an expert in these matters but could the identity of those aircraft windows not also help to establish the aircraft? That's three bits now -- engine, wheel and windows. Sure, Corley states they are from the UA plane that hit the South Tower but whether that plane was a 767 or a 737, or whatever, has not been established.

Popular Mechanics is a rag, but at least they went through the motions of getting their views rubber stamped by someone who could pass for being considered an informed opinion. Regardless of how sloppy and slanted the end result was, at least it was done on a level above that of an Internet blog. Don,did you know that the head of the investigative department for Popular Mechanics is a cousin of the new head of homeland security?It seems that the dots concerning the cover up are all connected.
