    NIST Claims “New Phenomenon” Occurred For First Time Ever In Collapse Of WTC 7

    Yet fails to address why ground zero workers and media outlets had prior knowledge of an “extraordinary event” never before observed an hour in advance, plus myriad of other ignored issues

    We are actually being asked to believe the impossible – that WTC 7 was the only building in history to have defied all precedent and suffered a complete and almost instantaneous collapse from fire damage alone, despite this being an impossibility if one accepts the basic laws of physics as accurate.  
    featured stories   NIST WTC 7 Report: Shameful, Embarrassing And Completely Flawed

    In its final report on the collapse of WTC 7 that news outlets are reporting “puts 9/11 conspiracy theories to bed,” NIST claims that the never before observed “new phenomenon” of “thermal expansion” was to blame for the destruction of the building, a completely ludicrous conclusion in a report that simply ignores eyewitness testimony and hard evidence that points to the deliberate demolition of the structure.

    NIST completely fails to address prior knowledge of the building’s collapse, including why news outlets like the BBC and CNN reported that the building had collapsed an hour before it actually fell, as well as firefighters on the scene who are heard on video saying, “Keep your eye on that building, it’ll be coming down soon.”

    If the collapse of WTC 7 came as a result of a “new phenomenon” and an “extraordinary event” that had never happened before in the history of building collapses, then why did news stations and ground zero workers know it was about to happen a hour or more in advance?

    This on its own completely destroys the very foundation of NIST’s assertion that a “new phenomenon” was responsible for the collapse.

    Which is the more likely scenario – that ground zero officials and media outlets got word that the building was going to be “pulled” – or that they employed clairvoyant powers of deduction that enabled them to foresee an event that had never happened before in history to a building that was structurally reinforced and had suffered limited fires?

    NIST claims that the collapse of Building 7 is “The first known instance of fire causing the total collapse of a tall building”.

    We are actually being asked to believe the impossible – that WTC 7 was the only building in history to have defied all precedent and suffered a complete and almost instantaneous collapse from fire damage alone, despite this being an impossibility if one accepts the basic laws of physics as accurate.

    The issue of molten metal, which was discovered under both the twin towers and WTC 7, suggesting an extremely hot burning agent was used in the demolition process, is completely ignored in NIST’s report, despite it being acknowledged in Appendix C of FEMA’s World Trade Center Building Performance Study, which stated:

    Evidence of a severe high temperature corrosion attack on the steel, including oxidation and sulfidation with subsequent intergranular melting, was readily visible in the near-surface microstructure. A liquid eutectic mixture containing primarily iron, oxygen, and sulfur formed during this hot corrosion attack on the steel… The severe corrosion and subsequent erosion of Samples 1 and 2 are a very unusual event. No clear explanation for the source of the sulfur has been identified.

    Speaking during a press conference that was called to counter NIST, Richard Gage, founder of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth and a member of the American Institute of Architects, dismissed the report.

    “Tons of [molten metal] was found 21 days after the attack,” said Gage in an interview with a Vancouver, Canada television station. “Steel doesn’t begin to melt until 2,700 degrees, which is much hotter than what these fires could have caused.”

    “There are holes in this story that you can drive a truck through,” he added, citing NIST’s claim that no evidence suggested loud explosive booms accompanied the collapse of the building by reminding that Thermite, a steel cutting agent, makes no explosive sound.

    Even aside from this argument, there were numerous close proximity eyewitnesses who reported loud explosions, including NYPD officer Craig Bartmer and ground zero first responder Kevin McPadden (who also experienced the countdown before the building fell), but this fact was again simply ignored by NIST.

    “FEMA found it,” said Gage. “Dr. Steven Jones found it, in the dust that landed in the entire area of lower Manhattan. And he finds it in the chunks of previously molten metal [from the towers].”

    The core of NIST’s explanation, that an “extraordinary event” called “thermal expansion” was to blame for the sudden total collapse of the building is of course on the face of it a fraud when one considers the innumerable number of buildings that have suffered roaring fires across the majority of their floors and remained standing, whereas WTC 7 suffered limited fire damage across a handful of floors.

    NIST also claims that the building only fell at 40% free fall speed, as if this isn’t suspicious in itself. Remember that this 47-story behemoth took just 7 seconds to completely collapse within its own footprint falling through the path of most resistance.

    As the George Washington blog points out, “NIST said that WTC 7 fell at 40% slower than free fall speed. But it collapsed a lot faster than it would have if the structural supports were not all blown away at the same instant. 40% slower isn’t very impressive — that’s like arguing that a rock falling through concrete 40% slower than a rock falling through the air is perfectly normal.”

    The George Washington blog has compiled a list of experts in structural engineering and demolition who have all questioned NIST’s conclusion. None of these individuals were approached by NIST to partake in their final report.

    • The former head of the Fire Science Division of the government agency which claims that the World Trade Centers collapsed due to fire (the National Institute of Standards and Technology), who is one of the world’s leading fire science researchers and safety engineers, a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering (Dr. James Quintiere), called for an independent review of the World Trade Center Twin Tower collapse investigation. “I wish that there would be a peer review of this,” he said, referring to the NIST investigation. “I think all the records that NIST has assembled should be archived. I would really like to see someone else take a look at what they’ve done; both structurally and from a fire point of view. … I think the official conclusion that NIST arrived at is questionable.

    • 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?”

    • 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

    To claim that the collapse of WTC 7 is “no longer a mystery,” as chief NIST investigator Dr. Shyam Sunder stated yesterday smacks of a desperate attempt to proclaim the authority of the official story by mere words alone, when in reality NIST’s laughable “new phenomenon” claim, the latest in a long line of changing explanations for the obvious demolition of Building 7, only heaps more embarrassment on NIST and makes the official 9/11 story look more untrustworthy than ever before.

    1. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics Says:

      Shameful and embarassing, pick your word. For the third time today, reminiscent of those pictures we’ve all seen too much on television before when a building was deliberately destroyed by well-placed dynamite to knock it down…

    2. Captain Says:

      How stupid do they think we are!? The sad and scary thing about this is there will be a ton of people who will be like, “Well there it is. I told you there was a logical explination for why building 7 fell.” It seems only a limited few have enough independant thought to work beyond what the msm tells us.

    3. Jackson Says:

      This is neo-con controlled disinformation through and through…

    4. EdgarFriendly Says:

      NIST is like my friend Blaine. Everyone knows a Blaine. Its the guy that doesnt question anything. And tries to argue that none of this stuff is going on. When having a coversation with him, he thinks he can just say “See, I just proved it to you.” and that’s all the proof he needs. Simply saying he’s right, makes him right. Well, if that’s the case, I’m the smartest person I know. Just ask me. And I’ll tell you.

    5. Slow Giraffe Says:

      Hey NIST, i’d like to hit you with my FIST !

    6. Joe M. Says:

      Since all of the evidence of this Building 7 collapse overwhelmingly points to a premeditated, staged
      demolition, with loss of lives, wouldn’t legal proceedings be the next step?
      There’s enough evidence to choke a hippo!
      Bring in the best prosecutor we have … Vincent Bugliosi on this one too.

    7. Anna Says:

      Alex Jones and his 9/11 Truthers can’t handle reality and have to believe in conspiracy theories. Fire caused the collapse of WTC 7 not controlled demolition.

      This is another good reason why our Government needs guns to protect us from losers who believe in conspiracy theories. I prefer a Government who actually does something to protect our freedom and takes the fight back to the terrorist who attack us on Sept 11, 2001.

      This is probably one of the best articles I have read on this website. Good job, PJW. You have done well!

    10. LargeWillie Says:

      Unfortunately,Paul Joseph Watson,your slip is showing.You are literally being hoist on your own petard.In your article you state that there were limited fires in Building 7.I guess you’re hoping no one gets a gander at the photo of the building included with the article.If gray smoke pouring out of the entire 47 story building for hours isn’t evidence of a building seriously on fire then your credibility has to be considered damaged.Of course,there’s plenty of good stuff to work with on this question of #7,but the fact that you persist in the “few small fires” and “pull it” nonsense is distressing.Funny that in the interest of a full portrait you don’t refer people to the PDF file available on the New York Times website that details the oral testimonies of the FDNY just after that fateful day.Surely you don’t think the FDNY was in on the scam,do you?

    11. freecell Says:

      I think they might WANT us to know. Maybe, just maybe, this new report is exactly what they want, obvious lies that do not match anything that happend that day. Could they be covertly/overtly bringing out so more people Wake up? What better way to show them who is “semi-awake” so they can target them or provoke them into open resistance?

      Its kinda like varmint calling, you make sounds like a hurt animal to get the preditor out in the open, then you can make a clean shot, easy and it works.

      Maybe the whole psy-op was to get the american dissenters to rise up against and start killing so the NWO could be justified in massive martial law, prison camps, open killing by law enforcement etc.

      Could it be the whole thing backfired and now they are carefully setting things in motion (the ecomomy, Russia, Iran, Iraq, food and gas prices, the houseing and credit issues) to push our buttons so we fight back?

      After all, we all know perfectly well not more the a very few Elites will ever suffer, die or serve one second in jail for the crimes they have committed. Could we be completely wrong, “nothing is what it seems” the master plan was to leave enough loose ends on 9/11 to get people to lash out but nothing too overt as to bring down the Bush/Clinton/Zionist cartel?

    12. iamcanadian Says:

      What about Silverstien saying “pull the building” ?

    14. Markshark4 Says:

      Writing about this stuff on blogs isn’t cutting it anymore.

      We need a revolution.

      A mutiny by the military.

    15. Rob Says:

      The events of 911 are just like wiping out native Americans, Tuskeegee, or MKULTRA or the human radiation experiments. They will admit what happened when it’s no longer part of immediate history, and disappeared down the memory hole. They will point to a well-ordered low population, compact city, prison society as being this great good that was achieved as the result of all the poinsoning, and clampdown that we are now seeing.

    16. skytv Says:

      I enjoy this quote from the article: “We are actually being asked to believe the impossible”. Yes you are.

      You are being asked to believe something that has overwhelming verifiable evidence to the contrary which has never been tested or proven. You are being asked to trust, put your faith into, and BELIEVE what you are being told by government officials, FBI, NIST, TV reporters, and ALL US mainstream media….based on something that they openly admit they did NOT test or confirm in any way such as…a controlled demolition. (Because of “audio” they said).

      Guess what? Boo-freakin’-whooo! These exact same doubters of the collapse of WTC 7 will look you in the eye and say…”of COURSE planes crashed into the buildings on 911″! Even though the media, government officials, eyewitnesses, FBI, NIST, TV reporters, and staged videos have NEVER provided a SINGLE SPECK of verifiable evidence of a plane existing at any of the 4 locations on 911 from any of the 4 planes. If these treasonist government criminals are willing to blatantly lie to your face about something that is sooooo obvious by looking at the overwhelming evidence(untested of course)….what makes you think you should believe there were planes at any of the 4 locations that THEY provided the evidence and story for?

      WTC 7 doubters only want to go by proof. They want the material tested for man-made explosives or detonations. (Did not and will never happen). The people who doubt if there were any planes at all on 911 simply want ANY verifiable piece to be looked at and inspected. (Did not and will never happen.) So….WTC 7 doubters…….get in line with your complaints and be prepared to be called many names because all you want is the evidence looked at and tested!

    17. ditto Says:

      Can you say…miniature nuclear weapons.

    18. The King Says:

      That’s ridiculous. I can’t believe this shit man. Like Captain was saying in post #2, there’s gonna be some assholes out there who will just point to the NIST study and say, yepp told you it was real.. without actually reading the damn thing.

      Imagine, news agencies proclaiming the mystery is finally solved. United States of Amnesia will be quick to believe then forget.

      Poor Anna. Another thoroughly “don’t confuse me with the facts” brain-washed American.

    20. up-side-down-physics Says:

      If you apply the physics proposed by the NIST, our BBQ grills should melt and collapse every time we cook a hamburger.

      What a bunch of BS! Steel structures from buildings don’t melt and collapse during a fire!

      Watched it this morning on c-span!!! BuLLLshit(3L’s count em’)!!! One column(79) could FAIL and bring down the whole building??? Nothing is willy nilly folks!!! Not buying it. Ohio Plate WTC 7!!!! Out!!!

    24. Marty Katz Says:

      Do you pronounce the NIST investigator’s name SHAM? Excellent piece by Paul Joseph Watson on the pathetic attempt to cover up the TRUTH of what happened that fateful day. The NIST report presents more questions than it answers. I’m AMAZED how the majority of uninformed Americans still believe the bogus explanations for the obvious demolition of Building 7. The GOOD LORD reveals TRUTH to those who seek HIM! TRUTH is not just “what” but also “who.”

      “Trust in the LORD with ALL thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In ALL thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6

    26. sanzo wolf Says:

      How come the collapse of wtc7 was never covered by the main stream media until yesterday, 7 years later and at the end of the Bush regime. Just like the anthrax story. Why do they bother shoveling us more B.S. NOW. I hope they are not clearing the way [ even if it is only in their demented minds} for the next false flag event. Yesterday, threats and powder were sent to Mccain campaign offices near Denver. This so wreaks of Karl Rove. When will this bullshit ever end? And as far as the collapse of WTC 7, they have got to be kidding. They can thermally expand their own bull crap.

    27. Canadian Citizen Says:

      So if you follow what the nist report said, you could have taken down that 47-story building with a Zippo.

    28. Rob Says:

      The thermal expansion theory will probably bring more physicists and structural engineers into the 911 truth camp. This is obviously a pseudoscientific theory. They might as well say that the destruction of these buildings was a planned demolition after all. However, the demolitions were engineered by space aliens.
      The criminals controlling our governments don’t want us to discuss this. They will use any real revolt as a reason to shut down the web. I wouldn’t have 1/500th the knowledge of government corruption if it wasn’t for the free web. I’ve lately seen how Google is more obviously filtering searches. Everyone quit using Google. Use any other search engine. I’ve been using Altavista again.

      Sooo sad how things are evolving in this world we live in. The sadder part is that none of the general public is awake to the amount of disinformation we are being fed. I guess whatever happens to this world and country will be on the shoulders of the people, for sitting on their ass and waiting for some savior to carry us to safety. We are the creators of our destiny! Wake up people and start to make change on a small scale, to in effect change things on a greater scale.

    32. Peter North Says:

      Are you idiots expecting that your own government is going to tell you that WTC 7 collapsed as a result of explosives? However, I agree with the assertion that the thermal expansion theory will probably bring more physicists and structural engineers into the 911 truth camp.

    33. ROB Says:

      If you beleive that i have a bridge for sale on the east river to sell you. total whitewash, cover up. there is no way fire destroyed any of the WTC buildings. in case nobody remembers, same month last year, the 26 story Duetsch bank caught fire. A 4 alarm fire, this building was stucturly weakend by the debris from WTC towers( collapsing in their own footprints) the fire in this building burned for 4-5 hours, and the building had no emergency sprinkler system. for the past 6 years this building was being dismantled and deconstucted, it was much more structuraly unsound than WTC 7 on 9/11 yet it did not collapse. the same goes for all other incidents involving fire in stell sky scrapers since 9/11. NOT ONE of these buildings was demolished, destroyed, or collapsed in to their own foot prints!

      they are getting desperate ( the criminals in charge ) they can not even come up with a decent explanation, it is becoming increasingly obvious, to even people who know nothing about physics, that WTC7 was demolished, the compulsive liars have kept changing thier story again and again, this latest is so weak, it will only help get the out. treat with extreme prejudice the RED SHIELDS.

      Anytime a witness on 911 said something other than what the MSM wanted to hear….they cut the person off just like this:

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....re=related

      The media demanded that the public saw a plane. They were criminal as much as any member of the Bush regime on 911. Rupert Murdoch will go down in history as being the main culprit of the “inside job”. His name will be synonymous with that of the most treasonous of humans in history.
      Also watch the films that clearly show Fox film crews looking only for people with the special “Able Danger” badges at ground zero. These were the government, FBI, and military staged eyewitnesses that were everywhere at ground zero giving exact details of the supposed “planes”. Those were the only people Fox would interview.

      I find it ironic that WTC 7 investigation demands you ignore video of the demolitions and only look at evidence that they produced. Though with respect to planes crashing into WTC’s 1 and 2 they demand you only look at video and no evidence that they never produced?

    48. Phoenix Says:

      #32 Mr. Anderson, keep on your dark glasses cause a lot of people can’t bear to see the truth reflected in your eyes–they aren’t ready for it (whoever linked me to those film reviews of the matrix under another 9-11 post here–thanks)

      If the government came out and admitted that they did it, a lot of people (and I know some of them) would say “well, they did what they had to do to protect the rest of us.” Or “they know stuff that we don’t know.” They TRUST those in authority regardless.

      As for those who are thinking this new “expansion of thermal energy” crap will cause engineers and physicists to ask questions, I hate to break it to you, but many of them will just write up a bunch of bogus grant requests to study this “new phenomenon” in the hopes of getting more grant money.

      Part of this is self-deception. It happens in the sciences all the time. For example, Darwin said that if you did not find the missing link showing gradual evolution in the fossil record (and he gave us a period of about a hundred years) then, he said, you should probably scrap his theory of the evolution of human kind from one form to the present one. Since no transitional forms were ever found, “scientists” like Gould have come up with the theory of “spontaneous evolution, i.e., it just happened all at once–which is, of course, not Darwin’s theory. Spontaneous evolution, expansion of thermal energy, …I can see how it can catch on and become another way to send the kids to college. And they can go study evolution under Gould at a tuition cost of about $30,000 a year. Ain’t life grand?

      Geesh. I thought my pigeon droppings on the window sills on WTC 7 causing failure of the support sill was just a goofy comment on what they would find.

      Little did I know that they would come up with something even more stupid. THERMAL EXPANSION.

      Lets see………we dropped a nuke on Hiroshima……but it wasn’t the nuke that killed everyone…it was ….TADA……THERMAL EXPANSION!!!!!

      The people on the plane in Madrid did not die because of the plane crashing….Nooooo….it was …..TADA……….the THERMAL EXPANSION of the flames that killed them.

      President Kennedy was killed not by a bullitt….but by……TADA…THERMAL EXPANSION of his skull.

      The new buzzword……THERMAL EXPANSION….get to know it….get to love it.

    50. Reason Says:

      If you can’t explain it, you build a new theory to support the story rather than use the expertise of thousands of qualified engineers and scientists using known laws of physics. When David Copperfield does a trick we have to want to be entertained, therefore throwing the laws of physic out of the window to believe it. Funny thing is that this obfuscation of the truth is becoming more ridiculous the harder they try to explain it. More holes than Swiss cheese. So, basically it’s like “magic.”

    79. Joe Says:

      Wasn’t there a ‘gag order’ to members of the New York Fire Department that
      forced them not to discuss building 7 & the subsequent demolition countdown?
      If this was the case, and I saw video pertaining to this, then why the gag order
      to our brave firemen who only speak the truth as trained eyewitnesses?
      This whole thing wreaks of coverup & subterfuge & insults the professional engineers
      that will not be allowed to state the physical facts in an unbiased inquiry.

      One more thing … members of the NYFD said they could have knocked out that fire easily.
      Why hasn’t anyone mentioned the huge explosion in the lobby of bld. 7 which killed
      many people but was never officially reported? Why didn’t the other much ‘closer’ buildings
      to WTC 1& 2 collapse from fire and debris? They were still standing afterwards with
      much more damage. Must not of hit the ‘main support’. eh?

      Also, if only ‘one main support’ held building 7 upright, which is insane by the way,
      why didn’t NIST include the $150 million structural enhancement as part of the
      ‘test model’? This building was the equivalent of a 47 story ‘Sherman Tank’.
      I can do this all day, it’s so absurd.
      To hell with common sense & physics … and truth.

    80. sus Says:

      In the report Dr. Sunder states that they did NOT consider demolitions or detonations AT ALL because…get this….they had no conclusive AUDIO evidence that any existed. AUDIO was the reason they never considered or even tested for a controlled demolition. It was clearly obvious from VIDEO that there was a controlled demolition…..though audio was the reason in this report. (Imagine using “audio” as the reason JFK was NOT shot by a bullet?!!!)

      Dr. Shyam Sunder has extensive experience leading and conducting engineering R&D in support of offshore and arctic oil drilling and production. Maybe all that blasting has injured his hearing?

      This is shattering the credibility of NIST in a super sized big way.

      This has got to be embarrassing to the max.

      Here is why *some* people will believe it no matter what:
      The implications of having *your* government as a band of hostile criminals simply put, overwhelms a certain segment of the public. They just can’t handle it.
      It is, for them too frightful to contemplate and it is THIS fear that drives them to believe the silly,
      the frivolous, the implausible, as the accepted.

      They are not driven by the facts. They are driven by their emotions,
      They are not mentally or spiritually able to handle the implications of what we are faced with.

      When your entire future depends on how strong the mental illness of the public is, you don’t have much time left — in power.

      This kind of mental disorder is still extremely fickle, and when ANGER moves in, as it always does,even this element of support will swiftly vanish, leaving the NWO Criminals with nothing but raw power to stay in power, and that is never enough to remain in power, at the helm. The more raw power is used, the more angry the public becomes at them.

      Historically, these Tyrants are at the end of their power, not in the middle of it, not at it’s beginning.

      Their times and days are truly numbered as very few.

      The hand is writing on the wall, and they are frightfully taking notice.

See also, James M. Williams, President of the Structural Engineers of Utah, SEAU News, The Newsletter of the Structural Engineers of Utah, Volume VI, Issue II (October 2001), where Williams stated that the FBI actually made decisions as to which photographs would be broadcast to the public. Specifically, Mr. Williams stated: “As of 21 days after the attack, the fires were still burning and molten steel was still running. What concrete wasn’t pulverized into dust will continue to be removed for weeks to come. The structural steel is being removed and shipped by barge to be recycled.
      All photographs shown on television, shot-on-site were pre-approved by the FBI. We were shown photographs that were not released for public view,” available at (http://www.seau.org/SEAUNews-2001-10.pdf.).

      Unfortunately,Paul Joseph Watson,your slip is showing.You are literally being hoist on your own petard.In your article you state that there were limited fires in Building 7.I guess you’re hoping no one gets a gander at the photo of the building included with the article.If gray smoke pouring out of the entire 47 story building for hours isn’t evidence of a building seriously on fire

      Willie is correct as there is also very good video out there showing the fires and heavy smoke on a good portion of the building.But there’s a twist in our favor. This explains arson.Of course a building that WAS NOT hit by a plane could not be “pulled” or “demo’d” too soon or it would really give the complicit crime away.So they torched the floors later,and let it go a while to make it look like a failure due to fires,and then pulled it or detonated it later, at a time that seemed appropriate enough to cover their crime up.It’s common sense and none of us ever talks about this theory.Sounds the most logical to me.So,yes, let’s admit to the obvious about the many fires and not the small and lesser fires, which aggravtes me as well.If we are going to give credibility to the truth movement, we also have to tell the truth!

    92. redlist Says:

      Large Willie, open your eyes man.

      Even if there were huge fires in every part of WTC 7, it wouldn’t suddenly implode at freefall speed.

      In response to Post 97 by “ferric oxide”, that was an interesting website/pdf you posted. I didn’t know the FBI preapproved images like that. Then again I’m surprised I didn’t think of that, lol.

      I noticed the current AOL article on this WTC7 has two polls on it, one said “Do you think the Gov. is hiding information from 9/11?” and 57% of people said yes! Also there was another poll for whether WTC7 fell from fire.

      Yea this is horsecrap!

    99. jimbeam Says:

      An excellent discovery, this new phenomenon! Think of it! Now, when we need to demolish a tall steel frame building, we don’t need to hire expensive demolition crews and spend weeks rigging explosives! All we need to do is set a few small fires in the build and within a few hours, it will fall into a perfectly symmetrical heap. And, as an additional side benefit, we’ll have molten iron left over which can be used to cook a few thousand BBQ hamburgers on!

    100. LargeWillie Says:

      Whoshaq,I hear you,though I do think speculation hurts the Truth Movement.I used to be sure that Building 7 was a demolition,now I’m not.Clearly as Redlist states it’s very curious indeed the way it goes down.But,there is no denying there were serious fires all over the place,it was damaged on lower floors by heavy debris from the Noth Tower and,most importantly,the FDNY is on record as being concerned about the structural integrity since early afternoon.It’s important to stay grounded,as far as facts are concerned.When known facts contradict speculation it’s important to acknowledge that.

    107. Bill Says:

      What would you really expect coming from the NIST? Thats like asking a Yankees fan to be the honorary home plate umpire during a Yankees game!

      We need an independant investigation of all the events that transpired on 911. I started keeping a journal of all the “red flag” pieces of evidence that were never considered in the Henry Kissinger led 911 Commision Report. There are 159 pieces of hard core viable evidence that I’ve documented that totally discredits the official story!

      I’ve also come upon something that is freaking huge, that no’one has even thought of considering! Examine the lamp posts very carefully at the pentagon. To make a long story short, there are 61 photographs suggesting explosives were used to pop out the lamp posts, making them look like they were struck by a plane on their way to the building – or so they thought. If a plane traveling at 300+ mph hit a 10.5 inch diameter steel lamp post it would have sheered them in half. The bottom half (below point of impact) would have went forward in the same direction as the plane. The top half, would have went backwards away from the plane. Instead, the lamp posts were twisted and blown away from the building (still in one piece), suggesting that explosives were used under the anchor plates on the far side (away from the building). The idiot in charge of planting these mini explosives put the charges on the wrong side! Imagine sticking a 6 foot aluminum antenna into the ground and striking it with a baseball bat as hard as you could right in the middle. The top of the antenna would break off and fly backwards! The bottom would go forwards – think about it! Also, one of the lamp posts flew into the air and landed on a taxi cab on the road that runs parallel to the building more than 65 feet away! Two other lamp posts show clear signs of powder burns (blackening) at the base of the steel anchor plates. There are also other points that I could go on and on about, but consider the lamp posts!

    108. Silvia Says:

      Hi, everyone,

      I was just looking at the NIST web site and watched the three video clips they released there, two of which are of computer simulations of the collapse of WTC7. To tell you the truth, I’m not a completely convinced “conspiracy theorist,” but I find enough unanswered questions to not quite be able to buy the government-relaesed explanations for the 9/11 events either.

      Since I’m also anything but a scientist, I had hoped that the NIST computer simulations would make the reasons for the building collapses clearer for me, but I am disappointed. The video on their left side of the page shows the initiation of the collapse, i.e., part of the building, and the video ends before the remainder of the building starts collapsing. The video on the left side of their page also starts with a side of the building collapsing, followed by the remainder of the building, but it ends when about half the building is collapsed. And it seems to me that it is tilting backwards in the video. Why on earth didn’t NIST post the entire simulation?

      Anyway, maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t see any similarity in this to the video footage of the collapse of the actual WTC7. That building buckled in the middle and then came straight down from what I’m able to see. Does anyone know where I might find the entire clips of the simulated collapse? Or can anyone tell me what I’m missing or misunderstanding?

      Thanks.

    110. Mark Stock Says:

      Ask questions. Even what seems like a simple question: How many buildings collapsed on September 11, 2001, in New York? I ask this question and get all kinds of answers. I ask anyways. It’s been almost seven years and I think that the event of 9/11, staged or not, seems very much a false pretense for war. The NIST report says that debris from WTC7 was carted away immediately, so conveniently there is no evidence to investigate. And, the investigation didn’t start for years after 9/11, but the so called “war on terror” started as soon as possible. I think that this enabled the threats made in the spring of 2001, to bomb Afghanistan into oblivion, to be carried out soon after 9/11 without any time to ask questions. We’re asking questions now.

      I was watching C-Span tonight Aug. 21st, 2008 when Shane G. a reporter for infowars.com was cut short on his legitimate question. I was so disturbed by the behavior of the media and there urgency to divert the question that I turned the program off after witnessing the lack of willingness to answer his valid question. However by diverting his question they only raised more questions in the minds of American citizens like myself. Acts such as these prove the situation to be even more questionable. Did anyone happen to notice the queue to standby triggered by the lights in the room going out?!?! They put there mental seat belts on as soon as they heard infowars.com! The speaker smiled big, (an attempt to hide his uneasiness), as soon as Shane began to introduce himself. I would like to thank Shane for his efforts and for attending that C-Span covered report from Nist. I agree entirely with the above shown article.

      NIST EQUALS MORE SHADOW GOVERNMENT COVER UP AND PROPAGANDA DELIVERED BY THE CORPORATE ELITE PRESS AND CRIMINAL “NEWS” ORGANIZATIONS. LIES AND DISTORTIONS SO CLEARLY FALSE AND EASILY DISPUTED BY THE FACTS … THIS FALSE REPORT ONLY STRENGTHENS MY RESOLVE TO FIGHT AGAINST THESE BLOOD SUCKING ELITE KILLERS. DEATH TO THE SHADOW ELITE …. AND THEIR DREAMS OF A NEW WORLD ORDER.

      response to #126- sylvania

      The slicing antenna theory is an incredible fairy tale especially since there are photos of the front of the building with no damage shown after the slicing antenna fell far away from wtc7.
      I have had many phone calls and e-mails from people telling me that my smoking gun is no longer.
      they all believe the nist report since it was reported by msm. This people believe everything Msm tells them. Lou dobbs still states that Russia attacked Georgia. Who is left in Msm that can side with the truth? Can olberman do it?
      I say we all bombard olbermam with our own rants starting now about wtc7. He may just decide to go into a rant based on what we tell him about wtc7.

      I thought I’d add a last set of observation after watching this ludicrous endeavor again on C-Span. Maybe you also noticed the buzz ward from the talking points. It was “elegant”. As if, because the evidence was elegant it was therefore true. The word was used precisely, and on cue particularly when the guy from infowars asked questions towards the end of the “show”. Remember that little episode? Basically the answer he got was no your wrong, it’s elegant get back to me on that off camera, because if it ain’t on the TV it ain’t real bubba.

      I don’t remember where I read it, but someone was talking about lies, and how the best lie was an “elegant” one. Maybe it was in Mein Kampf, I’m not sure. I also noticed the choreography in the room. If someone asked a controversial question immediately some poser would ask a talking points question that would try to deflate or mitigate the previously asked question.

      I’m telling you friends this deal here is as bold face as it can get. Think of what they are doing here. They are demanding that the entire scientific community throw out everything they know that is true and embrace this “new phenomena”, and all of it’s junk sciences with it. It’s like the State of Tennessee vs John Scopes in a sense all over again and this demand now permeates every sector of our society and government.

      Think about it. The excuse for dangerous, poisonous toys, medicines, foods all consumer goods is the FDA and other agencies don’t work any more. Why? They say…because, and that’s the end of the conversation. Anyone with a brain knows why these agencies don’t work any more. It’s because their budgets have been cut to the bone, and their leadership has been replaced with people from the very industries the agencies were supposed to protect us from. Is this even mentioned by our media? No. Not unless something huge happens like Katrina and it’s to big to cover up. In the eyes of the media it’s not to be talked about, because it’s part of the “elegant ‘choreography” that we all live under in our day to day lives.

      Bush, and his inner circul never tire for the sophmoric, the frat-boy humor it constantly utters at every chance. Because of the low intellect level that is viral through this group of cads, reprobates and fools they gravitate to ironies that would never pass the smell test in the cheapest of science fiction novels. That it why they have modeled the Bush era after popular entertainment such as 1984, 24, and others.

      The model that is really being used is the one never discussed. It’s The Truman Show. Remember what Rove said long ago? It was in response to a reporter who differed with Rove’s facts. Rove said “your problem is your coming from a fact based reality. We on the other hand create reality.” I thought that was very telling, but most did not.

      However since those verbose words we have been living in their created reality one way or another. Like mice in a haba-trail we are cut off at every pass, herded into the tubes they wish and fed a diet of imaginary news cycles that contain no substance and the barest of truths. This goes unnoticed to the masses as it remains cloaked to the most enchanted, because of it’s elegance and that is why we who have awakened appear mad to everyone else.

      There is a saying some believe to be first uttered by Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus. He said ‘Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out.’ They did in a work of fiction, but remain in the mud for the most part today. Will it be the same for us? Will we never really know the truths, the answers to the pleading whys? We are currently on the brink of nuclear war. Our economy is imploding, and the fastest growing industry we have is prisons and security/law enforcement. At any moment America may become a smoldering tombstone to all we were. You would think in this hour someone would at least want to confess, but no. No they find no need to do that. After all my prior statement ‘we are currently on the brink of nuclear war….’ is based on my living in the Truman Show and outside of that created reality to those who pull the levers all may be fine. We however may never know. That’s the problem with elegance. Like art it is in the eye of the beholder.

      ok all you 911 truthers……..now you can to begin to refocus your attention. You can now refocus your attention on the reason that all the buildings collapsed, all the fires were started in the first place, and for which NO explanation has been given so far by anyone? What is that topic? Here it is……..

      The FBI, by order of the White House, had complete authority of the NTSB. The NTSB is the agency that examines plane crashes. They’re the people that collect the pieces and put them together to get an idea of what happened. They’re the people that examine the wreckage and try to get an idea if there were other circumstances that may have caused a crash…in some cases that would test for explosives for example. By order of the WH and the FBI, the NTSB was NEVER allowed to examine, collect, analyze, inspect, review, make statements, or give ANY opinion of scientific review of anything that happened on 911. They were ordered by the FBI to focus solely on transcripts, communications, interviews with airline employees, a radar information. (Guess what happened with the information the NTSB collected….it was gathered together….and then destroyed. In some cases….right in front of the airline employees)

      The reason that the NTSB was never allowed on scene or to inspect ANY wreckage from 911 at ANY of the 4 locations…….was because nothing was ever found. Let me repeat…..to this day….not one single piece of verifiable evidence of ANY plane has ever been found at any of the 4 locations on the morning of 911. NOT ONE. The NTSB never relys on “eyewitnesses” to prove a crash. They have never relied on video to prove a crash. (Witnesses and video may help confirm the data from wreckage…but it is never used solely to prove a crash.) The only evidence used is the wreckage itself. To this day…..NO WRECKAGE FROM ANY OF THE 4 “PLANES” HAS EVER BEEN VERIFIED FROM ANY OF THE 4 LOCATIONS. How would NIST be able to explain this? Thermal expansion of the plane to make them all dissapear after impact?

      NIST would probably say…”well what about that engine and wheel found at an intersection right after the crash at WTC’s 1 and 2″? Great….even though the photos themselves PROVE that it did not come from the same plane that was reported to have crashed…can any verify the items? NO….not one person has been allowed to even look at the photographed parts in person to verify them. It would be easy concidering it would have an easily identifiable part number to immediately prove it came from one of the listed planes. What about the “fusalage” that was found on top of a nearby building weeks later? Great….even though the photo shows it could not have come from the type of plane that was suggested crashed….can anyone please look at it to verify it? NO….not one person outside of the WH or FBI has ever seen this piece. What about the same kind of engine that was reported at the Pentagon? NO…not one single verification has been allowed….and it never matched anyhow to the kind of plane that crashed into the Pentagon. What about Shanksville….the WH passed an executive order that says you will do prison time if you even so much as question local residents!!!!!!…..let alone look at any of the 95% of the plane that the WH claims was already collected. In other words they have 95% of the plane and it has NEVER been verified by ANYONE outside the WH or FBI.

      If you are willing to disagree with the findings of this criminal regime regarding the WTC7 building…..based only on evidence…..what makes you think they are being honest about the “planes’ on 911? These criminals will lie to no ends. They will fabricate, murder, slaughter, lie, cheat, steal, destroy, bribe, intimidate, retaliate and corrupt evey aspect of a life….worldwide.

      There were NO PLANES on 911. The media lied. All of them. When you hear complaints about the MSM not being more open or understanding…..please keep in mind that they have ALL been complicit in EVERY regard of 911, Katrina, build up to war, and millions of other stories never told, fabricated or deleted. The media companies themselves are OWNED by companies that have made 100’s of Billions of dollars because of and directly from 911 and the flase “war on terror”. GE, Westinghouse, Fox, Murdoch…..the list is endless.

    117. names Says:

      Why has insurance yet to pay the airlines for the planes lost on 911? Insurance for airplanes are based solely on wreckage. No wreckage, no pay. To this date they have identified or verified not ONE PIECE of wreckage from ANY of the 4 locations on 911. Maybe this WTC 7 report is a good thing….because maybe…just maybe…..it will allow you to question WHY nothing has ever been verified regarding the reason the whole thing started….which were the planes. Watch “September Clues” online to get an introduction into the lies.

    118. damir Says:

      the WTC 7 was a controlled demolition – look at the building how it went down straight.

      This is sad to state but it is the TRUTH – if people part of a Nation no matter how great or small fall for the lies of Evil individuals that want to control the nation their nation no matter at what cost then they are not better than the Evil individual.

      Be it in America, Australia or any other country if the people had enough of the lies and SHIT they are being told by their Government they can trow that SHIT Government out and empower HONEST people to lead them towards peace and understanding.

    123. Barfly Says:

      I do admit it is interesting and I want to learn more.

      But you can’t be seriously considering that planes didn’t hit the towers. They did. In fact my buddy’s wife was IN to other tower WHEN the first plane hit… got out in time and emerged to SEE the second plane hit. It happened.

      Is that what brought down the towers… that I’ll admit is open for discussion.

      BUT, If you don’t believe that planes hit the buildings, then you truly lose all credibility as a human being, never mind the right to speak on the subject. Everything else out of your mouths and minds is nonsense.

      They want us to believe that dozens of engineers designing and reviewing the plans for the building’s construction ignored this very basic characteristic of the material?

      No planes, no video of planes, no confirmation of planes by investigation of crime scene, no court convictions of anyone involved with 9/11, no phone calls made from planes by the FBIs testimony in criminal trials. The whole thing is a giant psy-op. You know the biggest problem? VERY FEW EVEN GIVE A SHIT! 3,000 humans murdered and not a single criminal investigation done of the largest crime scene the the history of our country. Fuck all you anti-conspiracy wads of human waste. That one FACT THERE WAS NO CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION OF THE SCENES is all the “proof” you will ever need. If you did not investigate the scene yourself and take evidence for open review, you do not know SHIT about what really happend that day, so don’t say you do. You can have an opinion, but you do not KNOW. Nobody does, but I can tell you, I do not believe anything the government says about that day, they did nothing to PROVE their story.

      This mother fucking government will spend 18 million credits for the security of the DNC and RNC and they do nothing at the crime scenes of 9/11. This fucking, evil, lieing piece of shit murderous, adulterous, child killing corporation of the US Government is going to be the death machine of millions of americans. The vast majority of americans will not engage in even real conversation, take one week and look at all the evidence, stop submitting to complete control of their lives so they can party, waiste thier lives on bread and entertainment.

      The is NO PROOF THERE WERE PLANES!! I dont give a shit if you “saw” planes on the videos, I watched James Kirk land on other planets, that does not mean it happend. For everyone who saw them in person, who cares, they were in shock and subject to suggestion on what they saw, heard or did that day.

      Bring ONE unedited video with sound of what happend, you cannot, because there are NONE, ZERO.

      Fuck this worthless government. I have canceled my drivers license, my plates on my vehicles will expire and I will not get them renewed. I dont need anyone permission to drive MY vehicle on public owned property, I am the fucking public. Fuck their contracts of voter registration, property taxes, fiat money, lieing media and their “public servant in name only” you homosexual, child molesting elite fuckers work for me, a sovereign man, with UNALIENABLE RIGHTS. Try to arrest me, take me to jail or fine me, your agents will regret it.

      I reserve my right to refuse service to any company including the US Government. I did not vote for you and I do not subject myself to you, my rights superceed the Constitution, the Congress, the Supreme court. I do no harm to my fellow man, and I do not support you doing harm to them in my name.

      As far as crime gangs go which one should win, the other guys’ gang or the one you’re born in?
      Together, against you, their mad control games they play, by boatloads they built this U.S.A.
      Allegiance quite troubling for a decent person to give, they only seeking to “Live and Let Live”
      Those whom profit won’t fight thus the soldiers their lady, fancy and lockstep a little bit shady.

      All denizens that surround you, all the same label share, if in a crime gang why would you care?
      Whether it Russian, American, Mexican or Chinese, these criminals just do whatever they please
      The judges, lawyers, soldier and cops their mistresses, just serve them from on their knees,
      While stealing each week in a taxation extortion scam that robs illegally both you and me.

      Those fine crooks whom spin history in books, the best of folks to which one should be true,
      It’s a story once red, grandly attempted they to wash it with white, yet truly it is sad and blue.
      When murdering to steal, stacking cards in the deal, the offer has it any appeal to you or me?
      This question you should ask before giving your children the task, to stand and fight or flee.

      So, which gang to join with, the masses of myth, a cult of crime since ever one had ever been,
      Whether this one or that, a bear, donkey, or rat, which one looks best to you good friend?
      When part of the gang, which part of you will hang, and which part of you will suck up wind?
      Reach just slightly down below and the answer you’ll know, if you have none now, then when?

      Perhaps it would be best to put such crime gangs to rest, these armed ladies finally gain honor,
      Nothing they have yet done, at the point of a gun, makes the Dashing, just Blitzen and Donner.
      Yes, in the reign dear, they are seen from the rear, white-tailed like ghost yet stained yellow,
      All of good horn, yet female all born, not what one could honestly proclaim to be a manly fellow.

      Yet tote they great sack, when laid up on their back, or no sack would they have ever to tote,
      A fellow sang a song and I don’t think he was wrong when he claimed it all “Just One Sad Note”
      So as Hoover a vacuum, both the man and machine, each greatly of wind well-known to suck,
      Where could a rooster stick in a chicken, and how greatly would such a fine chicken cluck?

      If everything said, once written in black and once red, in what time would time come to close?
      The falling seeds from the tree spelled out the message you see, time is whenever he shows,
      Upon four horses, and you the main courses, so thundering do hoofs bring his just right hand,
      All shall then kneel as this event becomes real, or fall to the slaughter as none shall stand.

      There seems no doubt that Mossad agents were behind the towers attack and the Neo-Com/Bilderburger alliance were the head of the whole dirty business. That is SO obvious. It might be the reason there’s not been another, worse attack, lies in the likes of “Infowars” etc—this would also explain THEIR desperation to wipe IT and any other DISSENTING VOICES from the Net. In fact, their desperation to destroy the freedom of the Net, lest it gets more people thinking, QUESTIONING–which is anathama to these evil bastards who make YOUR policies and your “Government”

    135. ImPatriotic Says:

      If any good came from this report, it’s what NIST confirmed *could not* have caused the collapse — the gas tanks below (which was reported as fact by Popular Mechanics), nor the electronic substation, nor the gouge in the side of the building.
      All that’s left is “thermal expansion” theory versus “controlled demolition”. I sincerely hope the American public will pick up on holes in the former and strengths in the latter. Finding the truth may hurt, but sometimes the right thing and the hard thing are the same. We, the American people, can handle the truth. I wish the government would realize that.
      P.S. Metal expands when it gets hot?? Who knew!? (tongue in cheek)

    136. Brent Says:

      I remember several accounts immediately after WTC7 went down where the fire fighters and ny officials knew the building was going to be pulled. Why the need to cover this up. It does not make any sense unless someone is trying to cover up something bigger. What that might be I don’t know.

      My thoughs are that the owner probably had some sort of agreement with the government after thal original attempt 1990 on the world trade center that all the buildings would be prewired with explosives or thermite to enable the owner to pull the buildings if they became damaged to the point that they were unsafe to surrounding builidngs. It is not surprising that the government might accept this proposal to protect people in the surrounding buildings given the previous attempt on the WTC and the potential damge and loss of life that would occur if the WTC buildings fell over into other nearby structures. Sacrifice a few to save many. It is possible that the fire fighters got caught in the middle. Imagine the outcry if the public found out that the fire fighters died because someone got trigger happy and pulled the WTC buildings permaturely. This might be a good reason for a government coverup and does not stretch too far into the conspiracy relm.

    137. Richard Says:

      Freecell, you are definately a moron!
      I can understant no one catching the first airliner hitting the first tower,I mean….who would of anticipated that, and your pathetic theory that if any video existed it must have been edited afterwards……
      but what about after the first hit…all those civilians, police officers, port authority personnel and not to mention firemen among other agencies all around the area whether it was a block or 2miles away after that initial airliner collision…..your telling me all these people with recording devises (you know, the blackberies,sidekicks and the common cellphones) who managed to record the second airliner hitting the second tower was also tampered with. Your telling me all the recording devices that was used was confiscated and tampered with,edited!?..give me a break you idiot!
