Several reasons:
1) Both Chandler and NIST used two different software programs specifically designed to measure velocity and got the same result. FEMR used a method that is not applicable to measuring velocity and got an impossible result.
2) WTC 7 could not possibly fall at greater than FFA for a full second. That's pure silliness.
3) Tony is a professional mechanical engineer and FEMR is an anonymous poster claiming to be an expert.
ETA: NIST's graph does not show WTC 7 falling at greater than FFA. They said their graph shows FFA. The "faster than FFA" interpretation is made by people who don't understand how to interpret the data.
1) femr2 showed in great detail how his method is a vast improvement over Chandler, and NIST's published curve exceed's freefall.
2) WTC7 most certainly could exceed freefall. I showed why and you could not refute it. It's basic physics, the addition of forces minus resistance.
3) Tony's profession means squat if he is wrong. NIST is chock full of people who exceed his qualifications.
Why not accept my qualifications? I have a Bachelors in Physics, a Bachelors in Astrophysics (University of Minnesota, 1989) and an MS in Mechanical Engineering (Northwestern University, 1998).
