That is this thread alone and the JREF forum alone. TFK (under other psuedonyms like the one he used on the BBC forum, Teeefkay or something like that) is all over the Internet trying to apologize for the present and demonstrably false official story about what took down WTC 7 and the Twin Towers. It appears that this is what he does fulltime. Isn't that interesting?
I am going to say here that anyone who, after seeing the collapse of WTC 7 on tape, still thinks it came down by fire, is a little kooky and not using the head God gave them.It is apparent that TFK's job is to try to argue for the present official story and against engineers who have spoken out against it and who are demanding a new investigation. If that fails people like TFK try to make it appear that people like me haven't and can never consider all of the factors involved. That is simply nonsense and all of TFK's attempts at trying to get more translation for the girder to walk-off its seat have been shown to be non-viable. This recent bit, by the likes of his fellow but apparently lower level ubiquitous apologist Oystein, is nothing more than an attempt at wearing me out. It has been shown, in a more than sufficient way, here and elsewhere, that the girder between columns 44 and 79 under the 13th floor of WTC 7 could not have walked-off its seat laterally and that the NIST collapse initiation mechanism for WTC 7 is an impossibility. Therefore a new investigation is justified.
There is one additional point I am doing more analysis on, which BasqueArch brought up, and that is an axial walk-off. NIST did not use this and my hand calculations show it is not viable either, but I am doing a finite element analysis of it to be sure.
