There's something wrong with this picture. Is it that the deliniation between smoke and no-smoke is too sharp ? THere's something off anyway..According to miragememories, this photograph doesn't exist.

Completely fictional narrative, indeed.

Extracts from the NIST Final Report on the Collapse of WTC7;
pg.xxxvi
" The fires were ignited on at least 10 floors;
however, only the fires on Floors 7 through 9 and 11 through 13 grew and lasted until the time of the building collapse."
pg.18
" Fires broke out on at least 10 floors of WTC 7, near the damaged southwest corner of the building (NIST NCSTAR 1-9, Chapter 5)."
pg.18
" The collapse of WTC 1 damaged seven exterior columns, between Floors 7 and 17 of the south and west faces of WTC 7. It also ignited fires on at least 10 floors between Floors 7 and 30, and the fires burned out of control on Floors 7 to 9 and 11 to 13.

I see smoke from WTC7 and WTC6 combining;

Regardless of such quibbling, the NIST WTC7 investigation, which relied heavily on the same visual evidence you folks are citing, as well as firefighter interviews, determined that; "...fires burned out of control on Floors 7 to 9 and 11 to 13.".
The NIST also determined, that after 1 p.m.,
"the only fires of significant duration and intensity were on Floors 7 through 9 and 11 through 13."
That is the relevant finding.
MM
Right now the only smoke being blown is by you OCTers.
None of you appear brave enough to ponder why the NIST, with all their resources, 7 years of investigation, and after interviewing the firefighters, do not place any significant weight on the visual evidence displayed by the smoke rising up the south face of WTC7?
You have nothing that compares with what was available to the NIST investigation.
This is not like your Danny Jowenko claim of not being presented with all the available data.
The NIST determined, that after 1 p.m.,
"the only fires of significant duration and intensity were on Floors 7 through 9 and 11 through 13."
That is the relevant finding.
MM
That would clear up nothing.
You told those lies and now you are dodging because you have no
proof to substantiate them.
If what you said was true, then it should be very easy to source my posts.
MM
Yes, there's something off. Your need to insinuate that the photo was faked shows that your grasp on reality is what's off.
Any time you wish to source NIST statements that cast doubt on
NIST WTC7 FINAL - 1A fire conclusions, Glenn, feel free;
pg.29
" The visual evidence indicated that the only fires of significant duration and intensity were on Floors 7 through 9 and 11 through 13.
By 1:00 p.m., there was no visual evidence that the small, early fires on Floors 19, 22, 29, and 30 were still burning (NIST NCSTAR 1-9, Chapter 5). Therefore, these fires were not included in the four-step analysis sequence.
Yes, I figured people wanted detail so I didn't shrink them down. You can download the files, though, just click the download button on the player - you'll get them at your own pace & can view them properly in a decent desktop player.Yes.

You seem to be doing all the implying.
I'm just letting the facts speak for themselves.
You imply that the concrete in WTC7 played little part in the structural strength of the building.
I think you undervalue the structural strength gained from the reinforced concrete floors.

BEFORE it moves into a new office tower in downtown Manhattan, Salomon Brothers, the brokerage firm, intends to spend nearly two years and more than $200 million cutting out floors, adding elevators, reinforcing steel girders, upgrading power supplies and making other improvements in its million square feet of space.
The work, which began last month at Seven World Trade Center, reflects both the adaptability of steel-framed towers and the extraordinary importance of fail-safe computer and telephone systems for the brokerage industry.
MORE than 375 tons of steel - requiring 12 miles of welding - will be installed to reinforce floors for Salomon's extra equipment
workers are removing most of three existing floors, using jackhammers to demolish concrete slabs and torches to remove steel decking and girders beneath the concrete.

Speculating on the existence of small fires producing additional smoke is irrelevant.triforcharity said:"Even small fires that were not of "significant duration and intensity" still produce lots of smoke. LOTS.
Maybe you need to take a reading comprehension course."

Your post states "They were under severe pressure".
ETA: Here is the exact one that everyone is referring to.

"You also falsely stated that Brent Blanchard is somehow not an expert in controlled demolition."
post 1143
".. your attempt to misrepresent the credentials of Blanchard is downright dishonest"
miragememories said:post 1119
And as noted in their final report, the NIST, finally conceded that WTC7 underwent a complete freefall for at least 8 storys.
That is something that has never occurred before in a concrete and steel building, yet is a planned for characteristic in controlled demolitions.
???
Time for you to sign up for reading comprehension classes.
You gave two links to posts where I make no mention of Blanchard whatsoever.
I fail to see how they justify alienentitity's lies?
MM
If you do not see smoke combining between WTC6 and WTC7, you have better eyes than anyone I know.Anybody who suggests the photos are faked or that smoke was rising from WTC5+6 and being blown across WTC7 by the wind (like MM) hasn't looked very hard. Or has a deceitful agenda.
