Yeah, it's behind a free signup. Facts remain facts.

1. How could this be?
I've been told that all the steel was immediately shipped to a far far away place without any investigation.

Berk is well known for its defense department funding.

So, let me guess.... he didn't find anything funny?

3. The great
thing about a CTer is that no matter who, what or where, the evidence is never quite good enough. The goalpost just keeps on moving.

5. Yep
We don't just suck up to what anyone tells us; unlike those who believe bushco.

But the question is: what did the Berk professor find in 40 tons of steel? Can you recall, BP?

4. Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl is an important person in all of this.
As a scientist, he testified before Bush's Committee on Science complaining about the pitiful clean-up operation. Iow, he's been open about the lousy Republican government that handled the disrespectful, rushed, and unsafe "clean-up". This reality not entertaining enough for CTists, Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl is forced into their CT by illogically pounding him into a shape that fits.

I wish I had more time to inspect steel structure and save more pieces before the steel was recycled. ... The main impediments to my work were and still are:
• Not having a copy of the engineering drawings and design and construction documents.
• Not having copies of the photographs and videotapes that various agencies might have taken during and immediately after the collapse.

~ Testimony of
Dr. Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl
Professor
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
University of California, Berkeley
Before the Committee on Science of the U.S. House of Representatives

6. "visually inspected about 40,000 tons of steel from the towers from September to December"
I think we've all done that.

Just how did he do it though?
