Many rebuttals are possible...Here's what SG says:

This below theory is completely bankrupt. It is the real candidate for the literature Nobel prize (category "yarn"). The initial jet fuel was consumed after no more than 10 minutes, the 60,000 thousand or more tons of steel would have taken weeks to superheat to weaken steel, and there are numerous indicators of relative coolness in the Twin Towers on 9-11-1 such as:
- jumpers (not scalded, no more than 200 Fahrenheit)
- survivors who placed emergency calls from the top floors (up till collapse, detailed)
- thermogram of WTC2 facade at 9:18 a.m. (100 Celsius - water boiling point only)
- firemen nearly at collapse time above 70th floor of WTC2: no major fires
- over 400 computer hard drives recovered (Convar, a German company - not over 250 Celsius)
- computers recorded financial transactions seconds before each collapse
- dark smoldering smoke color
- no air flicker
- hardly any fires visible from outside until collapse time (very graphic)
- hundreds of people who managed to flee from the Twin Towers - no major fires
- not one shroud of "weakened steel" is ever presented despite clear crystal structure
- media push belief structure versus facts that cannot be forged (such as steel)
- 1.5 million tons of tell-tale debris from the WTC bombing were stolen & destroyed
- millions of unsinged papers did survive the "BS-TV fire inferno"
- highrise fires do not cause collapses and never have, apart from 9-11.

*MD-BASED SINCLAIR BROADCASTING (thanks Pat)*

Sinclair Broadcasting's Long History of Journalistic and Corporate Deception
www.dissidentvoice.org/Oct04/Leopold1020.htm

...A week after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Sinclair Chief Executive David Smith and his three brothers who control the media company handed down an edict to their news and sports reporters, and even a weatherman, at the company's flagship Baltimore television station, WBFF, requiring the broadcasters to follow up each on-air report with a statement conveying full support for President Bush and the war on terror....

"Sinclair Broadcast Group, which plans to air a CIA-agit-prop-style documentary called “Stolen Honor: Wounds that never heal” which is highly critical of John Kerry’s anti-war activities, should be regarded as part of a shadow government operation running a psychological covert action against the American people..."

"The increasing viciousness and brutality of the Zionist regime has been laid bare during its ongoing incursion into Gaza, code-named Operation Days of Penitence. The wanton destruction of homes and property and the deliberate targeting of civilians are aimed at terrorising the Palestinian population and give no prospect of an end to the violence..."
