World Trade Center Building 7 Demolished on 9/11? - SEFI APPROVES 9/11 SCIENCE AND ETHICS PAPER—THEN CENSORS IT ON DUBIOUS GROUNDS
Last month, the European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI)
rescinded its approval for engineers Wayne Coste and Michael Smith to
present their paper at the organization's 43rd annual conference in
Orléans, France, just prior to participants' arrival at the conference.
The paper, titled "The World Trade Center Analyses: Case Study of Ethics, Public Policy and the Engineering Profession"
and co-authored by R. M. Korol of McMaster University, questions the
ethics and credibility of those who speak for the engineering
profession. Specifically, it critiques the unscientific conclusions and
ethics failures of an article written by Northwestern University
engineering professor Zdeněk P. Bažant, "What Did and Did Not Cause the
Collapse of WTC Twin Towers in New York," that was published in
respected professional journals after the destruction of these New York
City skyscrapers on September 11, 2001.
