NIST Releases FINAL WTC 7 Report - Nov. 20

[Reality Believer]

The final, final, NIST WTC 7 report was released yesterday. Earth shattering news: No changes to the major findings!

Another one to bed. Geez guys, what are we going to talk about now?

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) today released its final report on the Sept. 11, 2001, collapse of the 47-story World Trade Center building 7 (WTC 7) in New York City. The final report is strengthened by clarifications and supplemental text suggested by organizations and individuals worldwide in response to the draft WTC 7 report, released for public comment on Aug. 21, but the revisions did not alter the investigation team’s major findings and recommendations, which include identification of fire as the primary cause for the building’s failure.

So they still won't produce Column 79 or any other physical evidence which supports their unprecedented column collapse due to fire and global collapse due to single column failure theory. Nope, no reason for skepticism at all.

NIST says:

In response to comments from the building community, NIST conducted an additional computer analysis. The goal was to see if the loss of WTC 7’s Column 79—the structural component identified as the one whose failure on 9/11 started the progressive collapse—would still have led to a complete loss of the building if fire or damage from the falling debris of the nearby WTC 1 tower were not factors. The investigation team concluded that the column’s failure under any circumstance would have initiated the destructive sequence of events.

Red, it has been seven years, and all you can do is snark on the internet?

Do you have any reason to believe that the modeling performed is deficient? If so, what is it?

If you are going to simply post from here on out based on incredulity, please let me know, so we can put you on ignore.

At RB's link, you can read all of the public comments that were submitted. Chris Bollyn's is there. I haven't read them all yet. I got a kick out of Nancy Hall's.

Carry on.

Anyone else have any luck.

I just clicked on your link and it worked.

I get "bad encrypt dictionary error"

ETA: Updated Adobe Reader and all is good

Don't read Judy Wood's unless you have some liquor handy. I wonder if someone at NIST had to spend time reading all 121 pages of her commentary.

 

[JamesB]

Bollyn? Should they be accepting comments from wanted felons? Shouldn't this be handed over as evidence to the US Marshalls office or something?

 

[JamesB]

LOL, I love Kevin Ryan's comments:

Comment: You have disgraced my country and the human race. Additionally, you are now personally responsible for the ongoing death and destruction resulting from the 9/11 Wars. The story of your dishonor will be repeated endlessly.

Reason for comment: Your deceptive reports are malevolent and revolting.

Not just malevolent, but also revolting.

I think Ryan is about to go all Kevin Barrett on us...

 

[Crazytimes]

Something must be wrong here. I did a search on that PDF for the words "Melt" "Melted" "Melting" and found nothing. All 130 pages. I keep hearing from conspiracy theorists that NIST claimed the steel melted. Hmm...

 

[GStan]

At least five or six commenters wanted to know why NIST did not investigate Larry Silverstein's use of the phrase "pull it".

Just read the damn thing.

Thanks, now everything is working.

It must be hard wanting a conspiracy SO much and not getting it in the end.

What would you expect to find on col 79 which could establish, or refute, the findings of the computer analysis that the failure of col 79 led to global collapse?

Do attempt to be specific please.

It's like that remote-controlled flying Superman doll my older sister kept promising to give me if I did what she wanted when I was little.

A long, ridiculously thick, metal cable attached to it, and perhaps a note from a demolition worker that reads "Larry Silverstein told me to pull on this."

You won't produce any explosives, blasting caps, det chord, etc. as physical evidence of a controlled demolition. So, what's your point?
