Conspiracy theorists be damned, the book launch party for Debunking 9/11 Myths was a huge success. Though traffic from the UN and storm-darkened skies threatened to dampen the revelries, our media guests mingled with abandon. Thanks to Sterling Publishing/Hearst Books and Popular Mechanics, our co-hosts, we enjoyed delicious wine and tasty appetizers at the swank Carnegie Club. Congrats to James Meigs, David Dunbar and Brad Reagan, the Popular Mechanics editors who edited the book!
