"Was the steel tested for explosives or thermite residues? . . . NIST did not test for the residue of these compounds in the steel." -- NIST Responses to FAQs, August 2006
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has had considerable difficulty determining a politically correct sequence of events for the unprecedented destruction of three World Trade Center (WTC) buildings on 9/11 (Douglas 2006, Ryan 2006, Gourley 2007). But despite a number of variations in NISTs story, it never considered explosives or pyrotechnic materials in any of its hypotheses. This omission is at odds with several other striking facts; first, the requirement of the national standard for fire investigation (NFPA 921), which calls for testing related to thermite and other pyrotechnics, and second, the extensive experience NIST investigators have with explosive and thermite materials.
The Top Ten Connections Between NIST and Nano-Thermites
Answer my original question. YOU are the one that is always saying that a tall building with steel beams WILL NOT collapse due to fire. My question is this:Why should I answer to you? After reading your posts I can clearly see I have more knowledge of engineering than you. Don't be a sock puppet of Eots. You're better than that. I hope.And who the hell are you?
still waiting to hear your theory and how you arrived at it
I think some of the smaller WTC complex buildings had bore the brunt of the towers more then 7 did, yet did not globally collapse. Regardless, If I'm wrong could you please provide any evidence of what you claim?Answer my original question.

Name another building where there was intense heat from fire PLUS the structural integrity of the building was compromised by the entire front of the building being sheared off by a 450,000 ton building hitting it?
Answer that question and we'll move on to the next part of "my theory" on what happened.
My money is you won't answer a simple, straight forward question.![]()
This is the answer I expected from you. Idiot.
"Entire front" may have been poor wording on my part.

Specifically, Quote-" the entire front of the building being sheared off by a 450,000 ton building hitting it?"
As for the testimony that Rationalist1016 provides us, whether on video, or in the press, about the 7 building's, imminent collapse, creaking, bulging, etc..it does not add up to what was on any of the videos that NIST used for their fantastically flawed computer model, and hypothesis on the collapse.
Not only that, but it is more in line to what should have been a more reasonable outcome, mainly that the parts of the building experiencing these problems, and symptoms, partially collapsing, or giving way in a staggered manner.
Not the sudden and unexpected global collapse, producing free fall acceleration for 100 ft.
If stress was a factor on parts of the building, specifically the parts that were damaged by any WTC tower debris, producing the noises, is it not reasonable to think those parts would succumb first, and the building collapse in a more awkward manner? Surely we wouldn't expect to see the building collapse as clean as a controlled demolition.
One question I had before NISTs final report, but still applies today is, how was it possible to have certain knowledge of the building's demise before it collapsed, but be completely in the dark about how it happened after the building collapsed? How do you know an unprecedented event is going to occur prior to its happening, but not have any clue as to why it happened afterward?
As Shyam Sunder stated in 2006, 'But truthfully, I dont really know. Weve had trouble getting a handle on building No. 7.
And NIST still never explained the total collapse in their "final" report. They admit free-fall acceleration, but don't alter their conclusion. Amazing and criminal lack of scientific method! We owe the 343 firefighters who died that day a much better explanation than NIST's pathetic failure.
NIST does not support scientific proof by virtue of its secret computer modeling. To be scientifically correct, they would have to supply others with this model to be proven by repeatability.
NIST= Not Interested In Seeking Truth

Between the front of the building being hit by the main towers, the fires and the odd construction of trusses between floors 5 and 7 you are telling me that it was IMPOSSIBLE for WTC7 to collapse?
Why do you think that JackDan? Some people here have a hard time understanding the written word it seems, videos help with that, and also a fresh look at the collapse allows us to reexamine the way it actually happened.Anyone that posts a youtube video as evidence in ANY case, not just 9/11, is an idiot. Period.
Agreed. The conservation of energy and momentum, is not even being considered. People aren't thinking this through yet it seems. C'mon folks it's not that hard, but you must face the fact, or in your cases the possibility we been had, first."And again, I am waiting to see the evidence of the entire front of WTC 7 being sheared off by the "450,000 ton tower".
Not only that, but the amount of material that pulverized into fine particle dust loses its weight value. Which is to say, 450,000 didn't shear off anything. It's an illogical and from the poster, a dishonest suggestion.
