Please see my previous post, “Why 9/11 Questions Don’t Go Away.” You’ll find links to alternate sources there, but here it is, after three long years–the government’s “official” explanation for the collapse of World Trade Center 7, which wasn’t even mentioned in the 9/11 Commission Report!
NIST’s “Official Report” on WTC 7 Collapse
My drippingly sarcastic video description:
‘After three years of research, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has finally arrived at a conclusion regarding the previously unexplained collapse of World Trade Center 7 on September 11, 2001.
Thankfully, they discovered a NEW kind of building collapse to explain the rare event: a fire-induced thermal expansion causing near-simultaneous floor, joist and column failure resulting in progressive collapse!
Whew-now I’m relieved. I don’t have to worry about believing the fact that the East Penthouse collapsed seconds before everything else…or the fact that BBC reported WTC 7’s collapse nearly 20 minutes before it fell…or Larry Silverstein’s “Pull it” remark which those pesky “conspiracy theorists” are always trying to get me to listen to.
Thanks to NIST, I can go back to believing that the US government’s top scientists are not producing models to retain their jobs. I can go back to believing the things my government tells me–thanks NIST, for putting all those theories to rest, with a NEW THEORY!!! Sleep tight Amerikkka.’
And now, here’s the complete Commerce Department’s Media Briefing from yesterday.

p.s. notice I DIDN’T tag this blog with “Truth.” I don’t trust NIST or Dr. Sunder any more than I trust Dick Cheney.
