BYU suspends Jones
Dr. Steven Jones, the physics professor involved in the so-called "9-11 Truth Movement" has been suspended by BYU.
Two weeks ago he published his theory in a paper called "Why Indeed did the World Trade Center Buildings Collapse?" In it, the professor says the towers fell not because of planes hitting them but rather pre-positioned demolition charges.
The other side: the State Department has released a rebuttal to Jones' theory in a 10-thousand page report.
BYU's statement:
"Physics Professor Steven Jones has made numerous statements about the collapse of the World Trade Center. BYU has repeatedly said that it does not endorse assertions made by individual faculty.
"We are, however, concerned about the increasingly speculative and accusatory nature of these statements by Dr. Jones."
The university added, "BYU remains concerned that Dr. Jones' works on this topic has not been published in appropriate scientific venues."
