[NCSTAR1A-3.2]"It is likely that much of the burning took place beyond the views of the windows"
[NCSTAR1A-3.2]
"The fires were fed by ordinary office combustibles"
Saying that "It is likely that much of the burning took place beyond the views of the windows" is not a "SCIENTIFIC FACT" it is an opinion.
members of the FDNY. They state that the building had raging fires on almost 20 stories by late afternoon.
Shyam Sunder at the 2008 NIST technical briefing
"the phenomenon that we saw on 9/11 that brought this particular building down was really thermal expansion, which occurs at lower temperatures."
where video and FDNY reported heavy fire.
the taught science is agreed fact.
"the phenomenon that we saw on 9/11 that brought this particular building down was really thermal expansion, which occurs at lower temperatures."
Scientifically charged by an act of Congress........ An act of Congress....does not scientifically charge anything Bob.

hgfbob, you get confused easily do you not? Saying that "It is likely that much of the burning took place beyond the views of the windows" is not a "SCIENTIFIC FACT" it is an opinion.
Very few photographers were allowed to get close to WTC 7, and basically NONE after the FDNY created the collapse zone. In other words, there is NO close up video footage of WTC 7 in the afternoon. Instead, we have to rely on the words of the men and women who were close to the building, the members of the FDNY. They state that the building had raging fires on almost 20 stories by late afternoon.

and STILL no total global unified collapse x 3 as WE SEE occur on 9-11.
so wtf is your point?
Your point is that burning contents could never have caused the collapse.
Here is an example that proves you are wrong.
Maybe if a plane going 500mph had hit the building it might have had a global collapse.

you point to shots of CLOSE-UPS of fire that other later video shows went out.
what do you think that will do to the windows?
NCSTAR1A-3.2]"It is likely that much of the burning took place beyond the views of the windows"
And considering the side of WTC 7 that had the worst damage,
NCSTAR1A p.39/130
"the damage from the debris from WTC 1 had little effect on initiating the collapse of WTC 7."
smoke pouring from WTC 7,
However, it has been shown on numerous occasions that office fires can burn hot enough to cause steel to fail in other building fires...so, to answer your question, Yep.
Are you suggesting that the damage sustained and observed at WTC was caused by burning office furniture as NIST claims?

Dear Mr. Bob
This letter serves a the final response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request (Log#10-194) to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in which you requested
in connection with its investigation for the technical cause of the collapse of the World Trade Center Tower and World Trade Center Building 7 on September 1,200I:
'1. All input and results files of the ANSYS 16 story collapse initiation model with detailed connection models that were used to analyze the structural response to thermal loads, break element source code, ANSYS script files for the break element s, custom executable ANSYS file, and all Excel spreadsheets and other supporting calculations used to develop floor connection failure modes and capacities.
2. All input files with connection material properties and all results flies of the LS-DYNA 47-story global collapse model that were used to simulate sequential structural failures leading to collapse and all Excel spreadsheets and other supporting calculations used to develop floor connection failure modes and capacities."
NIST is withholding sixty-eight thousand, two hundred and forty-six (68,246) file. These records are currently exempt from disclosure under section (b)(3) of the FOlA., 5 .S.C § 552 (b)(3). Exemption (b)(3) permits an agency to withhold records in an agency's possession which are records that are "specifically exempted from disclosure by statute (other than 5 .S.C552(b», provided that such statute (A) requires that the matters be withheld from the public in such a manner as to leave no discretion on the issue, or (B) establishes particular criteria for
withholding or refers to particular types of matters to be ...withheld."
The statute underlying the (b)(3) exemption in this case is the at National Construction Safety Team (1 C T) Act, 15 .S.. § 7301 et seq_ Section 12 of the CST Act (ISS_C § 7311) provides that it applies to the activities of 1ST in response to the attacks of September I ), 200 I. Section 7(d) of the NIST Act (15 U.S.C § 7306(d», exempts from disclosure. information received by 1ST in the course of investigations regarding building failures if the Director finds that the disclosure of the information might jeopardize public safety. On July 9 2009 the Director of NIST determined that release of the withheld information might' jeopardize public safety. Therefore, these records are being withheld.

.if the steel window frames are heating up enough to warp and shatter the windows.
heat inside the building is going to be at temperatures that will cause structural steel to soften.

WTC7 creating a 'chimney' effect.....I have seen that same effect many time at dusty job sites..

That's a ridiculous argument. Trying to compare valid questions concerning WTC7 and the homophobic ramblings of Westboro just defies logic.
No lives were lost in building 7 because it was empty because it was being imploded. Yet the owner takes out an insurance policy covering terrorist attacks just months before, then receives a billion dollar insurance payout after being on TV saying he made the call to "Pull it" .
These things raise legitimate questions which remain unanswered. Having suspicions of nefarious goings on and insider knowledge is not unreasonable under the circumstances.
It doesn't necessitate Govt. collusion, but it casts lots of doubts on the official story and who knew what and when.

WOW exactly the same quote as hgfbob gave to me a few weeks back mmmmm
uhm.....facts and science DO NOT CHANGE from post to post!
