Is this report on zebras good for a 12 year old?

What do you make of the works done by these independent scientists on the NIST report regarding WTC7?

  • Researchers Find Flaws in NIST’s WTC7 TheoryApril 10, 2014The Destruction of WTC7 on 9/11 For many years the destruction of World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC7), a 47-storey skyscraper that came down on  the afternoon of 9/11 in a manner highly suggestive of a controlled demolition, was regarded as a mystery.  This fact is well documented in David Ray Griffin’s book, "The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7"  (Olive Branch Press, 2010). The building was not hit by a plane. While a government investigation of this event was in process, many independent researchers concluded that WTC7 had been brought down by explosives in a controlled demolition. After a number of false starts, the official explanation of this event,  developed by the National Institute of Standards  and Technology (NIST), attributed the "collapse" to small office fires.  These fires allegedly led to the thermal expansion of beams  that moved a girder off its seat and to the structural failure of a key  supporting column. This theory has been  vigorously challenged by independent researchers, most recently by those  affiliated with http://www.ae911truth.org/. The discovery of a significant error, and the omission by NIST in its reports of key structural features of the building, recently led noted attorney, http://www.williampepper.com/index.html to write a http://www.journalof911studies.com/resources/2014JanLetterPepper.pdf  to Todd J. Zinser, Office of the Inspector General (OIG), U.S. Department of Commerce to seek resolution. William F. Pepper Attorney The conclusion by independent scientists and engineers that WTC7's destruction was a controlled demolition is  supported by a large amount of physical, eyewitness, and other evidence. Most notably, the sudden onset of collapse  was followed by a period in which the building fell over 100 feet in free fall. This was shown by Scientists'  member http://www.scientistsfor911truth.org/mempages/Chandler.html  and presented during the public comment period, forcing the government scientists to  back down on their claim that no physical laws were violated by their theory. For more information on WTC7 and  controlled demolition, see http://www.scientistsfor911truth.org/introduction.html#i911scit_WTC7_ignored on this site and the article http://911speakout.org/Freefall.pdf by David Chandler.NIST's Theory for WTC7 NIST’s theory for WTC 7, as set forth in the NIST report http://www.nist.gov/el/disasterstudies/wtc/wtc_finalreports.cfm, is that a critical girder (A2001) was moved off its seats by thermally expanding beams.  This girder supported the 13th floor in the northeast corner of the building between exterior column 44 and  corner core column 79. According to NIST, this girder failure led to the collapse of eight floors in the area  supported by the girder down to the 5th floor, leaving column 79 laterally unsupported for nine stories. As a  consequence column 79 buckled, leading to a collapse that progressed from north to south on the interior east  side, followed by an east to west collapse of the interior and the subsequent buckling of the now  laterally-unsupported exterior columns.Recent Findings by Independent Researchers and Engineers Researchers who examined NIST’s WTC7 theory had, for many years, no  detailed information about the  building or NIST’s computer model of the collapse mechanism. In 2011,  however, a Freedom of Information Act  (FOIA) request by Ronald H. Brookman, a structural engineer affiliated  with Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, resulted in  the release by NIST of a large number of structural, erection, and shop  fabrication drawings  for the steel frame of the building. Independent examination of these  drawings has led to the discovery of  significant errors of fact and omission by NIST in its final report on  WTC7. This work was carried out over a two year  period by an international group of engineers and researchers affiliated  with Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.  This group includes Ronald Brookman, David Cole, Tony Szamboti and  others. See the http://www.ae911truth.org/en/news-section/41-articles/855-william-pepper-attorney-at-law-pursuing-nist-via-oig-re-fraudulent-wtc-7-report.html by Dennis P. McMahon, Esq for more information. Ronald H. Brookman Structural Engineer During the past two years, the following error and two omissions came to light. The NIST report: gave an incorrect value for the width of the seat for girder A2001 at column 79 failed to mention stiffeners that provided support for girder A2001 failed to mention lateral support beams which supported beam G3005 (connected to girder A2001) which allegedly buckled. You can see here http://www.scientistsfor911truth.org/otherphotos/WTC_ENG_Drawings.HTML with the stiffener plates added as well as other views  of girder A2001's connection to column 79. The locations of the preceding structural elements can be seen in figure 1 in William Pepper’s http://www.journalof911studies.com/resources/2014JanLetterPepper.pdf to  Todd J. Zinser. Pepper states that the opinion of independent  structural engineers is that, if included, the combined effect of this error and omissions by NIST is  to “unambiguously” rule out NIST’s “probable collapse sequence.” Attorney Pepper ends his letter by calling on Todd Zinser, OIG, to open an investigation into potential  negligence and misconduct by the NIST investigators of WTC7, and raises the possibility of legal action  should this request be rejected. At the same time, Pepper suggests that Zinser and NIST officials meet  with a repesentative group of structural engineers who have studied the flaws in NIST’s analysis.  Thusfar, the only  http://911blogger.com/sites/911blogger.com/files/Response%20from%20DoC%20Inspector%20General%20to%20William%20Pepper%20letter.pdf of the OIG has been to refer the matter back to NIST. For those wishing to examine the recent WTC7 work  in more detail, the following timeline provides links to  documents that describe the research and actions over the past few years leading to Pepper’s letter.Timeline of Recent WTC7 Research November 2008: NIST http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication-search.cfm?pub_id=861611,  NIST's final WTC7 report is released. The structural, erection, and shop fabrication drawings for the  steel frame of the building were not publicly released. Late 2011: http://www.ae911truth.org/en/news-section/41-articles/611-wtc-7-blueprints-exposed-via-foia-request.html are made by Ronald H. Brookman, S.E. for drawings and calculations for WTC7 by Cantor (FOIA 11-209 on 08/17/2011) and fabrication and erection drawings for WTC7 by Frankel Steel Ltd (FOIA 12-009 on 10/15/2011). These requests were filled on 09/20/2011 (drawings, but no calculations) and 11/23/2011 respectively. Late 2011: http://911blogger.com/news/2012-03-19/wtc-7-blueprints-exposed-foia-request-building-plans-allow-deeper-analysis-skyscrapers-destruction are released. In early 2012, independent researchers find an error and omissions of  structural features in the NIST report: seat length dimension for girder A2001 at column 79 is wrong - 12 inches NOT 11 inches stiffeners for critical girder A2001 omitted lateral support beams omitted for beam G3005 (connected to girder A2001) that allegedly buckled. This error and the omissions, according to independent researchers and engineers, rule out NIST's probable collapse sequence.

  • Answer:

    Jet fuel burns at 800º to 1500ºF. Not hot enough to melt steel (2750ºF) Never before has a skyscraper(s) fallen at such speed, spreading a plume of pulverized dust. Actually it does happen regularly, but only in controlled demolitions. On 9/11, 3 buildings did this in the same day. Let's not forget WTC7...the building everyone wants to avoid talking about...the smoking gun. The NIST report says it did not fall because of exterior damage, but because of some "new phenomenon" of expanding steel caused by the heat from office fires. How can a building, with only office fires, fall in under 7 seconds, into it's own footprint, symmetrically because of office fires located at random locations in the building? Look at it with your own eyes! Now, how anyone can still believe the NIST fictional account truly boggles the mind....and don't be caught trying to argue with them! Oh dear, you'll be hung for treason!

They are exactly correct. A 53ft beam can expand to a max of about 4.5" at the temp NIST gave. They need it to expand by about 8"+ to get the girder spanning columns 79 - 44 to "walk off" it's seat if the stiffener plates that are on the drawings but missing from NISTs analysis are included. If the report from NIST on WTC7 was an exam paper, it would get an "F" at best. they got the name of the building correct, I'll give them that much.
