People are getting involved in a 9/11 conspiracy debate based on a new study

Those 9/11 truthers are a persistent bunch.

Some 15 years since the World Trade Towers came down in the September 11th attacks, people continue to cover new evidence which they claim proves the official explanation is part of a huge cover-up. No, it's not quite reached 'Bush did Harambe' levels of weird, but it's a very serious theory on the part of a lot of people. According to a new paper - shared by the Daily Star and citing video footage - there is more 'proof' that a controlled demolition was responsible for the towers collapsing. This is in direct opposition to the widely-circulated explanation that planes flying into the towers caused the collapse, and is a commonly-held feature of those claiming the attack was an inside job. https://twitter.com/rickburin/status/642371681252691968 A paper entitled '15 Years Later: On the Physics of High-Rise Building Collapses' purports to answer questions about the 'unprecedented structural failures' which took place on 9/11. Among the four co-authors is Ted Walter, described as 'director of strategy and development for Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth'. And before you ask, the phrase 'jet fuel can't melt steel beams' does not feature anywhere within its five pages. However its conclusion does call for a more thorough investigation:

'[T]he evidence points overwhelmingly to the conclusion that all three buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition,' it reads. Given the far-reaching implications, it is morally imperative that this hypothesis be the subject of a truly scientific and impartial investigation by responsible authorities.'

Since the release of the paper, we have seen a growing number of Twitter commenters coming out of the woodwork and backing the 'controlled demolition' angle. https://twitter.com/_WilliamBray/status/773538508992548867 https://twitter.com/Lauren_Lebeda/status/774308079211077632 https://twitter.com/TRVPJedi_/status/773988366270341120 https://twitter.com/AndyWithChicken/status/773765216177827840 https://twitter.com/Sharopy05/status/113026731945902081 The release of the study coincides with the news that US Congress has passed a bill allowing victims of the 9/11 attacks to sue the Saudi government, ahead of what will be the 15th anniversary of the attacks this Sunday.
