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.
Investigation of World Trade Center Building 7

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.
9/11 Questions Don’t Go Away Because…
I. The families of the victims still have not received explanations, justice or full compensation. Only because of their pressure did W & Co. create the 9/11 Commission-after well over a year-appointing Henry Kissinger (that’s right, the war criminal) before he resigned and Bush loyalite Philip Zelikow took over the whitewashed report. A couple of the families’ many key questions: Why did NORAD fail to protect the World Trade Center and Pentagon? Why did WTC 1, 2 and 7 completely collapse, when previously, no steel-framed building ever had?

II. There was no mention of WTC 7 in the entire 9/11 Commission Report; however, Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder of the WTC complex, told PBS the now-infamous words about Building 7 in the 2002 America Rebuilds program:
“I remember getting a call from the, er, fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, ‘We’ve had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.’ And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse.”

III. Lack of video evidence of the Pentagon (Flight 77) “crash,” for one. It’s said that over 80 videos are being withheld. The most highly surveilled building on Planet Earth only came up with 5 frames of footage (4/100 of a sec.) after six months–footage showing a fireball, not a plane. Plus the six USA Today “witnesses” were all driving within .16 of a mile of each other at the exact moment of impact? Show us the plane.
Lack of evidence at the Shanksville crash site (Flight 93), for two. Search for that if you please.
And a lack of evidence at Ground Zero, where rescue heroes (and the public) were told the air was safe by the EPA, but who actually inhaled a cocktail of toxins resulting in the “Ground Zero cough,” mesothelioma and/or cancer-most rescue dogs have died. After they packed up the debris, Rudy Giuliani hauled it off to the Fresh Kills Landfill, before burying evidence and possible human remains in 2003 to convert the world’s largest landfill into a park. And 24 tons of the metal “recycled” by defense contractor Northrop Grumman built the USS New York (a “San Antonio-class” amphibious transport dock), christened in March 2008. But how did all that concrete get pulverized at nearly free-fall speed, creating pyroclastic flows of debris, while a hijacker’s passport survived?
