Debunking the 9/11 Debunkers Blog Contributor Adam Taylor Published in Peer-Reviewed Engineering Journal
Note from Adam Taylor: "I'm happy to announce that I have successfully had a paper accepted and published in a peer-reviewed engineering journal. Yes, you read that right. The paper, entitled "Review of Literature Regarding Progressive Collapse of WTC Twin Towers – A Call for Re-evaluation," has just been published in the April Issue of International Journal of Engineering and Techniques. So, what's the gist of the paper? Essentially, it's an overview of the literature published on the collapse of the Twin Towers - specifically, the currently leading theory of collapse: progressive collapse, first outlined by Dr. Zdenek Bazant only days after the attacks. My paper looks at the relevant literature published in the two decades since this theory was proposed, and finds this literature actually contradicts this theory. The literature finds that not only that the buildings collapsed far to quickly to be purely gravity-driven, but that the collapse most likely should have been arrested before total destruction took place.
Here is the website of Architects & for 9/11 Truth, but first take a look at some of the individuals you will find amongst their ranks.

Dwain Deets appointed as NASA Dryden Aerospace Projects Director
February 28, 1996
Release: 96-10
...In 1986 Deets received the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Wright Brothers Lectureship in Aeronautics Award. Among his other awards are the NASA Exceptional Service Award, presented in 1988. He was included in "Who's Who in America" for 1990-91 and "Who's Who in Science and Engineering" from 1993 to the present.
He was the 1988-90 chairman of the Aerospace Control and Guidance Systems Committee of the Society of Automotive Engineers. He has also been a member of the AIAA technical committee on Society and Aerospace Technology from 1990 to 1995. He is a 1961 graduate of Occidental College, Los Angeles. He earned a master of science degree in physics from San Diego State College in 1962 and then a master of science degree in engineering, as part of the Engineering Executive Program, at UCLA in 1978.

Robert F. Marceau, who:
Worked for 30 years as a structural engineer in New Jersey, Colorado, and Nevada. Designed as project engineer a variety of structures including Bridges, High-rise office commercial buildings, parking structures, Project Manager Mirage hotel (Las Vegas) , Part of team on Bank One Ballpark Pheonix, Arizona, and many other structural related projects

And Ron Brookman, who:
Received his M.S. in Structural Engineering (1986) from the University of California at Davis, following a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the same school in 1984. He has over 23 years experience in structural analysis, design, evaluation and rehabilitation of buildings in northern California.
Here is an article by Brookman which "Dismantles the NIST Analysis of WTC 7."

And although they are not signatories at AE911Truth "two professors of structural engineering at a prestigious Swiss university (Dr. Joerg Schneider and Dr. Hugo Bachmann) said that, on 9/11, World Trade Center 7 was brought down by controlled demolition."

Then of course there are the architects where you will find people like 40-year Architect Stephen Barasch:
High-Rise Architect with Transamerica Building Design Experience Signs AE911Truth Petition
http://www2.ae911truth.org/info/78
Here is a video interview with Mr. Barasch.
It must also be pointed out that the over 11,000 other signatories of the AE911Truth petition includes many highly credentialed people in other fields equally as relevant to the issue. Petition signers include physicists, firefighters, metallurgists, explosives experts, and controlled demolition technicians.
http://ae911truth.org/en/news/41-articles/425-45experts.html
One of the controlled demolition technicians is Tom Sullivan. He is a former photographer and explosive-charge placement technician for Controlled Demolition, Inc.; a company that was a major player in the removal and recycling of the steel at Ground Zero. While working with CDI Sullivan personally placed hundreds of explosive charges at the Kingdome demolition site in Seattle Washington, which set a world record for the largest structural implosion by volume. He also held a FDNY issued Powder Carrier licence; a position that is just one step down from being "the most highly qualified person at the blasting site."
