The NIST report does not make that exact claimed conclusion. It does make the tentative conclusion, but that's hardly the same thing especially considering how they originally didn't even grasp how much of the building had been so extensively wrecked from the debris of the collapsing Towers
7 World Trade Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (I hate wiki, but it does serve a purpose as a point of departure, only.)The 7 WTC investigation is in some respects just as challenging, if not more so, than the study of the towers. However, the current study does benefit greatly from the significant technological advances achieved and lessons learned from our work on the towers."[39]
In its progress report, NIST released a video and still-photo analysis of 7 World Trade Center before its collapse that appears to indicate a greater degree of structural damage from falling debris than originally assumed by FEMA.
The ACTUAL "conclusions" from the NIST report are found HERE (starting at p. 89 of 130 and listed under section 4.2): http://wtc.nist.gov/NCSTAR1/PDF/NCSTAR 1A.pdf
Why don't you try citing the NIST final report Iinstead of wikki then ?
Even without the structural damage, WTC 7 would have collapsed from the fires that the debris initiated. The growth and spread of the lower-floor fires due to the loss of water supply to the sprinklers from the city mains was enough to initiate the collapse of the entire building due to buckling of a critical column in the northeast region of the building.
"column 79 the structural component identified as the one whose failure on 9/11 started the progressive collapse—would still have led to a complete loss of the building if fire or damage from the falling debris of the nearby WTC 1 tower were not factors. The investigation team concluded that the column’s failure under any circumstance would have initiated the destructive sequence of events"
NIST and the World Trade Center
I provided the link to the actual conclusions from the pdf version of the actual NIST report, and from that version I could not copy and paste. So, I directed folks to the precise page. Get over yourself, id-eots.
And the conclusions of NIST are not universally agreed upon. certainly you troofers disagree with many of their findings when it suits your petty purposes.
More of the building was blown away then they originally knew. Fires BURN better when they have ready access to an air supply and with the kind of massive hole (not even including structural damage), the fires that raged unchecked for hours got all the air they needed.
You are free to draw your own conclusions, but yours are unpersuasive.
For your moron theory to be true, effectively ALL of the support columns would have had to have been blown up and that would have entailed doing it pretty much at the same time. And it would have required a SHITload of explosives all being properly wired and ready to blow without any of the folks who worked in that 47 story building "noticing" that people were wiring it to blow. Fucking ridiculous. You lousy scumbag dishonest id-eot troofers will try to peddle ANYTHING.
Tell us, stupid, what does the NIST report say about the notion that the building got explosively rigged to blow? I mean as long as you place such high stock in their findings and all.
