I can debunk NIST's new report - which claims that
fires alone brought down WTC 7 - in one sentence. I'll do so by
linking to a New York Times article :
Partly EVAPORATED Steel Beams Were Found At WTC 7; But Normal Office
and Diesel Fires are Not NEARLY Hot Enough to Evaporate Steel
Hydrocarbon fires fueled by diesel (which was apparently stored at
WTC 7) and normal office materials cannot evaporate steel. Steel
does not evaporate unless it is heated to at least 5,000 degrees
Fahrenheit. Everyone agrees that fires from conventional building
fires are thousands of degrees cooler than that.
NIST's theory is a non-starter.
Need more proof? Check out what these experts say:
* A Dutch demolition expert (Danny Jowenko) stated that WTC 7 was
imploded
* A prominent physicist with 33 years of service for the Naval
Research Laboratory in Washington, DC (Dr. David L. Griscom) said
that the official theory for why the Twin Towers and world trade
center building 7 collapsed "does not match the available facts" and
supports the theory that the buildings were brought down by
controlled demolition
* Two professors of structural engineering at a prestigious Swiss
university (Dr. Joerg Schneider and Dr. Hugo Bachmann) said that, on
9/11, World Trade Center 7 was brought down by controlled demolition
(translation here).
* Kamal S. Obeid, structural engineer, with a masters degree in
Engineering from UC Berkeley, of Fremont, California, says:
"Photos of the steel, evidence about how the buildings collapsed,
the unexplainable collapse of WTC 7, evidence of thermite in the
debris as well as several other red flags, are quite troubling
indications of well planned and controlled demolition"
* Ronald H. Brookman, structural engineer, with a masters degree in
Engineering from UC Davis, of Novato California, writes:
"Why would all 47 stories of WTC 7 fall straight down to the ground
in about seven seconds... ? It was not struck by any aircraft or
engulfed in any fire. An independent investigation is justified for
all three collapses including the surviving steel samples and the
composition of the dust."
* Graham John Inman, structural engineer, of London, England, points
out:
"WTC 7 Building could not have collapsed as a result of internal
fire and external debris. NO plane hit this building. This is the
only case of a steel frame building collapsing through fire in the
world. The fire on this building was small & localized therefore
what is the cause?"
