On Debunking 9/11 Debunking
Examining Dr. David Ray Griffin’s Latest Criticism
of the NIST World Trade Center Investigation
Ryan Mackey
Version 2.1, 24 May 2008
Original Release 31 August 2007
Abstract
In this paper, we examine the claims of Dr. David Ray Griffin regarding the NIST
investigation into the World Trade Center disasters, and find those claims to be
unfounded. All 18 major claims are discussed and rigorously dismissed, and a further
analysis of the text reveals an overwhelming density of factual and logical errors. This
paper refutes Dr. Griffin’s major claims, supporting with evidence that the aircraft
impacts were expected to significantly damage the structures, that the resulting fires were
of both sufficient temperature and duration to cause structural collapse, that a progressive
collapse resulting in total destruction of the Towers was the likely result, and that the
“controlled demolition” hypothesis is speculative and unsupported by any evidence. We
also discuss the anticipated NIST report on World Trade Center Seven. The author
highlights the fundamental sources of errors present in Dr. Griffin’s research and
provides a template to evaluate future claims using resources available in open literature.
