How do you know it's wrong if you haven't read it?
That's some high quality twoofering you have there. Keep that up and you'll get that new investigation in no time!

Do you think if I take the cover of the report and photoshop a new date onto it, FF will accept it as the new investigation they've been asking for?
Because they are experts and I am not.
Listening to experts (not bought by the government) is a good idea. Try it some time.

Gage asserts, explicitly, that "NIST lied in their FEA model of WTC 7 by applying heat only to the beams & girders, and not to the concrete, and this is what caused the shear studs to fail."
...


OMG - did he really?!?
A couple of months ago, someone posted a similar assertion, or perhaps it was veiled as a question, in a "9/11 debate" Facebok group (one not censored heavily by truther admins), and I spent time teaching that person what NIST did and didn't. I wasn't aware that this particular bit of stupidity is the AE911T party line![]()

YOU HAVEN'T READ THE REPORTS, HAVE YOU, FF? How do expect to hope to refute NIST with anyone from Pete and Patty in Peoria, to the world's scientists and engineers, when you haven't even read the reports you're trying to refute?
Most likely he hasn't read them. nstead he relies on what parsed bits and pieces he gets from truther websites.
The idea that because an engineer, physist, or scientist can't be trusted due to working currently, or at some time in the past for the government somehow invalidates their credibility ridiculous. The concept shows great ignorance of how things work in the real world.
In the U.S. a student coming out of college with one with a new MA in one of those fields is up to his or her neck in debt, and Uncle Sam is usually hiring. It pays the bills and experience in gained for that private sector job. Thing is that all of the great paying jobs are usually with companies that have government contracts, and while that new job might not have anything to do with those contracted projects, some CT nutjob will still question any work done.
Just because Engineer A worked for the US Government, say overseeing a Tennessee Valley Authority project in 1994 does not make their work with NIST suspect.
Has anyone performed an experiment yet to prove Cole's experiments and conclusions are wrong? I can't seem to find anything.

It's been repeatedly explained to you why Cole's "experiments" are crap from their inception. Since his "experiment" is crap, his conclusions are, too. You don't need to do an experiment to demonstrate this. You can just go Pt. 1 of this thread and this time read it for understanding.
If you don't understand something, you can come here and ask for help, or consult a local engineer or engineering professor. Unless you live in the Sahara Desert, there's got to be a competent professional nearby, and he's certainly more competent than Cole.
How would this hypothetical experiment look like?Has anyone performed an experiment yet to prove Cole's experiments and conclusions are wrong? I can't seem to find anything.
He won't even listen to the engineers on this very forum. There's always an excuse to not have to give up your cherished beliefs.
