The World Trade Center site progress has been slow over recent years. Finally we are starting to see some progress with the WTC replacement the Freedom Tower. The Freedom Tower will stand 541 metres or 1776 feet once complete.

[...] In 2006 investigative news show Zembla took claims of 9/11 conspiracy theorists serious by testing them. It concluded most of the claims were unfounded. The show is also famous for “exposing” (the news was not news to a limited circle) that politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali had lied in her asylum claim, which led to her resignation from parliament. [...]

Nearly 6 and a half years later and still no report on building 7 from the experts at NIST.

I would not call that a basis for an expert testimony

If with “expert testimony” you mean something that a court of law would accept you’re right. But nobody mentioned that kind of testimony. This was “expert opinion,” simply an expert giving his opinion based on the information at hand. And yes, he is an expert.

If I were to witness a bank robbery, I would call the police.

You instead would say: “Well, I am not an expert, so let’s do nothing. Even if I were an expert, I still would not do anything, because I do not have any field work or scientific data or evidence gathered at the site or measurements or chemical analyses that could form the basis for an expert testimony.”

I find that strange.

Scientific theories start with scientists asking themselves questions. These questions start with observing something unexplained. With 9/11 it seems that people would prefer if all questions would simply go away.

I don’t believe Jowenko is a boob.
I don’t believe he is desperate to see his name in print.
I don’t believe he wants to “drum up business”.

But he is also not an expert.

He does not have any field work or scientific data from the collapse available, no evidence gathered at the site, no measurements or chemical analyses. All he has is the video he was shown.

I would not call that a basis for an expert testimony, I don’t care how good you are at your job. All he can say, is what it LOOKS like on a video. And we can all agree that it looks just like a well-executed controlled demolition. One of the most pretty ones I’ve ever seen, in fact. But that does not make me believe that it WAS a controlled demolition. There is plenty of other reasons for the building to drop, and I find it entirely plausible that it collapsed naturally.

“Jowenko is a boob, apparently desperate to see his name in print and drum up business.”
The standard method used to “debunk” all experts who challenge the official story – attack the messenger, usually with a completely false smear upon their character, and ignore the message.
Some even tried to claim Jowenko later changed his mind, but he recently confirmed he has no doubt that WTC7 was a controlled demolition.

Are you saying that Jowenko acted surprised when he saw the collapse of WTC7? That he lied?

Jowenko is a boob, apparently desperate to see his name in print and drum up business.

For a real analysis by industry professionals, look at the WTC paper at http://www.implosionworld.com. If should lay to rest any lingering doubts that the conspiracy mongers are complete idiots and con men.
