NIST Publishes The Report on WTC7 - "No evidence of Explosives"
NIST has published the report today on the collapse scenario of WTC 7, on Sept 11, 2001.

NIST found that the impact of debris from the collapse of WTC 1 ignited fires on at least 10 floors of WTC 7, and the fires burned out of control on six lower floors. The heat from these uncontrolled fires caused thermal expansio
More..n of the steel beams on the lower floors of the east side of WTC 7, damaging the floor framing on multiple floors. Eventually, a girder on Floor 13 lost its connection to a critical interior column that provided support for the long floor spans on the east side of the building. The displaced girder and other local fire-induced damage caused Floor 13 to collapse, beginning a cascade of floor failures down to the fifth floor. Many of these floors had already been at least partially weakened by the fires in the vicinity of the critical column. This collapse of floors left the critical column unsupported over nine stories.
“When this critical column buckled due to lack of floor supports, it was the first domino in the chain,” Sunder explained. “What followed in rapid succession was a progression of structural failures. Failure first occurred all the way to the roof line—involving all three interior columns on the most eastern side of the building. Then, progressing from east to west across WTC 7, all of the columns in the core of the building failed. Finally, the entire façade collapsed.” Less..

The most important finding is that they identified a mode of failure (thermal expansion) that is not usually considered in structural design. These findings will ultimately make safer buildings.
Thank you for that.

so Rosey Odonnell put that in your pipe and smoke it, you dumb liberal *****.

Fire induced progessive collapse is nonsense.
The speed of the collapse is the history that dont fit this NISTBS.
Maybe is was the weight of all the Enron documents stored in WTC7 that made it fall so fast?

A. Thanks for not actually showing the "simulation" from beginning to end
B. Thermate?
C. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YvrKfWkxdw There WERE explosions heard at WTC7
D. Who benifitted the most from the destruction of the towers; even IF cavemen could give a stand down order?
E. Took you long enough NIST.. AND you had to classify a completely new way of a building collapsing to be able to explain it.. good job.. /sarcasm
I scoff at your so-called "investigation".

i also want to hear from ron paul and jesse the shaking boy ventura on this.

The troofies will say that NIST is part of the grand conspiracy.

Thanks you.

That "sound" this moron refers to not have evidence of hearing (explosion) WAS heard just prior to the building collapse. Its all over the internet where a fireman is on the phone calling his wife and you hear a huge explosion and another fireman comes rushing up saying "we've got to get out, 7 is exploding!"
LoL. This "investigation" is flawed.

Nuke israel, Nuke israel NOW! The gentile world owes it to them, 10 fold. US, NATO, UN is shit,worthless garbage, rackets and scams, they're jew subverted garbage unless they NUKE ISRAEL NOW!
Violence begets more violence.
Nuclear weapons have a global impact, not only politically, but environmentally as well.

I must've been the only one laughing when the towers came crumbling down. Then again I do work for the CIA so I'm behind all the evil things that happen in this world as part of the white conspiracy.

I see someone forgot to refill their Seroquel prescription..Would a little IV Thorazine do until your doc calls it in?

Exactly. No metal to test because they shipped it out en masse to China. Not that anyone would need to throughly investigate a CRIME SCENE or anything.
Wha? No physical EVIDENCE?? Well did YOU hear anything? No? (wink, nice.. checks in the mail) Well then, easy peazy NO EXPLOSIVES!

It was interesting that he says 7 was the "first" case of a fire making a building collapse.
