I don't understand this. I'm not sure what kind of investigation you felt was needed. I watched the airplane fly into building #2, so I knew why it fell and how.
What do you mean "inside job?"
Most folks don't know about these top secret meetings.
What evidence was destroyed? I thought it was hauled off to a land fill, after carefully checking for DNA.
I know of two bridges that melted due to relatively small fires. I would think each case needs to be examined. Modern airliners with a full tank of gas landing inside of a tower is pretty rare event.
With the entire weight of that tower in motion, those 58 posts all crumbled together like toothpicks.
I've heard this a couple times before, and not sure what to make of it, not knowing all the facts.
What alarm are you referring to? What key tests should have been done?
Not aware that thermite was discovered in significant quantities.

In the back of your average FBI fire investigators trunk they have a hand held device to measure for the presence of a variety of explosives. Common, simple test that was prohibited.
In a forensic examination of this sort you want to look at the steel, particularly that which failed. When you look at it you can determine how hot it got. For example, in the dust they found (not the official examination but one done outside of that) tiny spherical balls of steel that are a tell tale sign of thermite. When the steel becomes liquid it will fly off in drops which solidify as spheres. This indicated that the steel reached 2,000 degrees F, 500 degrees higher than jet fuel burns with a perfect air fuel mixture. Another very key piece of physical evidence that wasn't even permitted to be examined. The steel from the floors that were hit would have been very important to look at to confirm the hypothesis that the fire from the jet fuel caused the failure. That steel was not looked at, instead it was locked up, investigators were not allowed to inspect it, and then it was shipped to China to be recycled (destroying the evidence). Also, I would like them to have reconstructed the three floors hit by the plane in their burn lab and then recreate the fire to see how hot they could get it and what kind of symmetry you would get. These are the standard tests everyone would expect would be done on any major fire of significance.
Yes, inside job -- are you aware that on exactly the same day and time as 9/11 there was a "drill" being run in which an airplane was hijacked from Boston and flown into the Twin Towers? What are the odds? Yes they run drills all the time, but this was the first drill where they ever ran this scenario. What are the odds it would take place the same day, the same hour?
Why is this a sinister coincidence? Because it caused confusion and hindered a rapid response to the attack.
Are you aware that the supposed flight path that the commercial airliner flown by hijackers who didn't know how to land an airplane was so complex and extreme that most professional commercial airline pilots don't think it would be possible to pull off? Why the incredible gymnastics instead of just flying directly into the Pentagon? Well they hit the one part of the pentagon that was empty due to renovations. Hard to believe that was a priority for terrorists. Again, what are the odds?
Are you aware that the the hole left in the side of the Pentagon was did not have any holes for the wings and there were no wings left on the lawn? When was the last time wings and engines vaporized in an airplane crash?
Do you realize that the four airplanes that were hijacked had approximately 30% occupancy?! Investigators wanted to compare this list to the previous tuesday, same flights, same time, but haven't. Why not? Because the FBI prohibits the release of that information?!
