Audio - Prof. Steven Jones, Feb 1, 2006
Prof. Steven Jones of Brigham Young University has undertaken a physicist’s approach to investigating the collapse of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11. His paper on the subject, Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Collapse? is rational, cool-headed, and revealing. On February 1, 2006, Prof. Jones presented his findings at the Utah State Valley College in Orem.

Excerpt from Philip Gordon’s account of the presentation posted on MUJCA-NET:
On Wednesday, February 1, a quiet, “churchy-looking” gentleman in a white shirt and tie walked into a packed auditorium on the campus of Utah Valley State College and electrified the room like a rock star. The 150-seat auditorium was filled to capacity, with every seat occupied, and people sitting in the aisles from the stage floor to the back of the room. Video cameras on tripods lined the back row. Two documentary-film crews were in attendance, in addition to the school’ camera crew, and various independent journalists. Seven “spill-over” rooms, with seating for 40-50 each, were also filled to capacity. On this very conservative campus (in the most conservative county in the most conservative state in the union), where community leaders pulled out all the stops in 2004 to prevent Michael Moore from speaking as part of his anti-Bush, pro-Kerry “Slacker Uprising Tour,” Dr. Steven Jones, this pious professor from the Mormon Church-owned Brigham Young University, calmly, gently, gave a simple physics lesson on the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings, the implications of which awed the audience with a sense of world-historical significance, and implied an indictment of the present administration so utterly devastating that it made Moore’ Fahrenheit 9/11 look like a Bush apologia.
