[The 2005, The National Institute of Standards and Technology released its report of WTC Towers 1 & 2.<br />
The 10,000 page report doesn’t not address the actual collapse”]<br />
[In 2008, The National Institute of Standards and Technology released its report on WTC Tower 7.]<br />
[They did not analyze one piece of steel to test a controlled demolition hypothesis<br />
[Rather, they built a computer model with a predisposition that is was a “fire-induced” collapse. The parameters<br />
used have not been released.]<br />
[While admitting there was a period of “free fall” for 2.25 secs (8 floors), they provide no explanation as to how<br />
this is possible since their “progressive collapse” theory is based on systemic collisions and triggered failures.]<br />
[The Law of Conservation of Momentum simply cannot allow for a “progressive” movement through resistance at<br />
the rate of “free fall”.]<br />
[Oh… Did I mention the sub-basement explosions? Which occurred moments before the first plane hit]<br />
”Our office was on the B1 level. As I was talking to a supervisor, at 8:46(am)…and all the sudden we hear BOOM!<br />
An explosion so hard, it pushed up upwards. And it came from the Basement, between the B2 level and the B3<br />
level. And when I went to verbalize… we hear BOOM… the impact of the plane at the top.”<br />
“it would appear to me as if there is more smoke coming from the ground”<br />
“I was down in the basement...came down and all of the sudden the elevator blew up..”<br />
“And as we were coming out, we passed the lobby- there was no lobby...so I believe the bomb hit the lobby first...<br />
and a couple of seconds then the first plane it.”<br />
“As I’m walking by the main freight car of the building, in the corridor… that’s when I got blown… I mean… the<br />
impact of the explosion threw me to the floor and that’s when everything started happening. All the sudden a<br />
big impact happened again…and all the ceiling tile was falling down… the light fixtures were falling. you know<br />
you got to go clear across the whole… from one to two trade center and then all the sudden it happened all over<br />
again. Something else hit us to the floor, right in the basement you felt it, walls were caving in, everything that<br />
was going on…I know people that got killed in the basement, I know people that got broken legs in the basement,<br />
people who got reconstructive surgery because the walls hit them in the face.”<br />
The above fragmented testimony and news reports cover or allude to the follow points:<br />
(1) Pancake / Progressive Col Theory of WTC 1 & 2 collapse.<br />
(2) Buildings designed to take an airliner impact<br />
(3) NIST Final Report & Near “free fall” speed of collapses.<br />
(4) Visual evidence/testimony of explosives used/heard<br />
(5) Molten Melt pools under the three “collapsed” towers<br />
(6) Evidence/Samples of Nano-Thermite found<br />
(7) NIST report on WTC7<br />
(8) Minor fires/limited damage to WTC 7<br />
(9) Sub-basement Explosions<br />
(1) With regard to the “Pancake Theory” (Progressive Collapse) of WTC 1 & 2 collapse.<br />
[ Clarification: ‘Zeitgeist: The Movie’ still maintains the now seemingly outdated notion of a “pancake collapse”. This relates<br />
to the original FEMA theories which where later adjusted by NIST. However, it is found that the NIST theory is essentially<br />
just a variation ] The “truss failure theory”, a key ingredient of the better known floor “pancake theory”, was endorsed<br />
by FEMA in its 2002 World Trade Center Building Performance Study. When NIST later came out with its final report on<br />
the Twin Towers, it claimed a variation on this initial theory put forward by FEMA, stating:<br />
“NIST’s findings do not support the “pancake theory” of collapse, which is premised on a progressive failure of the floor<br />
systems in the WTC towers (the composite floor system—that connected the core columns and the perimeter columns—<br />
consisted of a grid of steel “trusses” integrated with a concrete slab). Instead, the NIST investigation showed conclusively<br />
that the failure of the inwardly bowed perimeter columns initiated collapse and that the occurrence of this inward bowing<br />
required the sagging floors to remain connected to the columns and pull the columns inwards. Thus, the floors did not fail<br />
progressively to cause a pancaking phenomenon.” 1<br />
