except that I took a few moments to tweak the weird stuff about dust.

Following a few links, I found what amounts to AP's concession that his theory doesn't "fit all the evidence":

The reason Pecoraro’s statements look so different, and more powerful than most others can be explained, as follows. Nearly all eyewitness accounts are in some government commission or investigation body’s reports. All the intel agents in control heavily censor all these. Similarly, the MSM wouldn’t disseminate such an eyewitness account either. Instead of being independent watchdogs, all the MSM have, for many years, been just a branch of the regime. The MSM is controlled by its worst elements: chronologically, first military “intelligence”, then the FBI, then the CIA and the NSA. Pecoraro’s statement appears in the online newsletter of his own Chief Engineers Association, a fraternal or union-like organization. It has apparently not (yet) been infiltrated and controlled by any of the Gestapo agencies. You might want to archive his statements before they disappear.

In other words, the vast majority of eyewitness accounts provide no support whatsoever for AP's speculations. But this is, supposedly, because the "Gestapo agencies" control all the information -- except for the online newsletter of the Chief Engineers Association, and a few other accounts that somehow escaped the totalitarian trawl net.

So, the mass of disconfirming evidence becomes, implicitly, evidence of the breadth of the conspiracy. It is hard to imagine what kind of eyewitness testimony would not strengthen AP's conviction that big nukes went off and the MSM is in on the plot. But for the rest of us -- perhaps especially those of us who live or lived in New York at the time -- if the evidence is so strong, it really shouldn't be limited to a handful of eyewitness accounts. (ETA: In real life, most eyewitness accounts are not in government reports.)
