Username checks out.
While is perfectly fine to investigate the collapse of a building, especially as the findings may help us make buildings less prone to such collapse, in this case, the academic who led the research claims results that contradict the mainstream understanding of the event, but provides no real evidence. The publication date of the actual study has been repeatedly delayed (see the German Wikipedia page on the academic and the references there). That makes me sceptical to start with, but for now, I will put it down to bureaucracy. But extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and claiming a result from a study that they admit is still incomplete is irresponsible.
The project website claims it will be over by September 2019,[1] so it should be available soon enough, unless it is one of the things that are affected by the STEM cuts. Though it should not be, because he said in his live stream talk that it is externally funded by Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth (a conspiracy theory organisation).
