Reply #4: The shoring doesn't bother me

I agree with your assessment - consideration must be given to circumstances, but I still am frustrated that they were unable to examine things in detail. From the article in Civil Engineering Magazine:
However, the team inspections were not comprehensive, and they did not address fire-related material degradation.


I don't claim there was no access or that this was all in secret. I do claim that there was not an opportunity to examine all the evidence. Yes, this wasn't feasible due to the rescue operation, but it doesn't change the fact that there was less information available. Would that extra information make any difference? Only to those who care about the accuracy of building simulations. There is still enough evidence (I think) to confirm that a plane hit the Pentagon.
