Pgimeno, I could prove it now, but it requires an audience that is not in denial of the trace data.
I hope you're not implying I am. Just to leave my position clear, I'll repeat what I've said, with some operational keywords highlighted:
- You haven't proved what you claim you have proved. Your arguments are not backed by sound engineering practice. Every so often in the paranormal world, someone shows something which looks abnormal and is interpreted in a certain way, but which has a different, not-so-obvious explanation which escapes an untrained eye. It's hard to be sure we're not in front of such a case, so there isn't a powerful reason to believe your interpretation of what you are showing. Given the qualification of the people who participated in the NIST report, it will require similarly qualified peers to review their work on that matter to determine if there was a mistake or not.
Note the absence of any questioning of the data whatsoever. You have even said this:
we can see that massive failure inside the core is what most probably caused the collapse of WTC1, not the loss of the south wall as the NIST claims.
And that's a good thing to say for you if you aren't sure, and I'm not sure either that your interpretation is correct.
Regarding WTC2, I have already pointed out what I believe are misinterpretations of data (in the form of a labeled photograph), and you have not addressed my objections yet. If I am correct with my criticism and you are correct with respect to WTC1, then you're on par with NIST: 1 building failure each. There's a major difference, though: you're making 50% of your case out of it, while NIST is doing about 1% of theirs. And that's under the hypothesis that you're right, which still remains to be proved.
What about addressing the objections I posted about your interpretations of the WTC2 photograph you commented? Audience problems again, perhaps?
This is the core of the NIST's conclusions, not just a tiny part.
No, it isn't.
In particular, if we forget about section 8.1 (Introduction) and 8.2 (Summary) of chapter 8 of NCSTAR 1, you haven't addressed any of these:
- Subsection 8.3.1 (Summary of Probable Collapse Sequences).
- Subsection 8.3.2 (Structural Steels).
- Subsection 8.3.3 (Aircraft impact).
- Subsection 8.3.4 (Reconstruction of fires).
- The first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth points in subsection 8.3.5.
- The whole section 8.4 (Factors affecting life safety) which covers almost 8 pages.
- The whole section 8.5 (Operational codes, standards, and practices) which covers almost 6 pages.
- The whole section 8.6 (Future factors that could have improved life safety).
- The whole chapter 9 (Recommendations).
And so far you have failed to provide sound arguments for this one:
- The part related to WTC2 of the third point of subsection 8.3.5.
A reading of Subsection 8.3.1, which is a summary of the probable collapse sequences, reveals that it doesn't even include the part you're criticizing, meaning that you're giving it much more importance to it than they are. Don't forget that NIST's objectives are a direct result of the National Construction Safety Team Act.
These are not tiny mistakes.
Assuming they are mistakes at all, that's still your opinion. Want to make a quantitative evaluation?
