Evidence exists to support 9/11 report

I was stunned to see almost a full page in the Jan. 30 Gazette devoted to the arguments of the two 9/11 guest columnists with their own ideas about how the World Trade Center was destroyed in 2001. I was under the impression that The Gazette was a newspaper, rather than a purveyor of speculation.

The 9/11 attacks were perhaps the most widely viewed live event in human history. Massive evidence exists to support the National Institute of Standards and Technology report. There is no sound scientific basis behind those who doubt the official report, only the knee jerk reaction that “if the government says it, it must be a lie.” It's time for responsible news media to stop giving space to such wild speculations.
