http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/factsheets/faqs_8_2006.htmget to work debunking all of this, its pretty long. simply using the NWO cop-out will not suffice here. you'll need sound science. you're a smart guy, i'm sure you'll do it without problem. one professor at BYU doesnt make up for hundreds of others. conspiracy theorists are very interesting. they use these theories, which are primarily only accepted by a few quack scientists and a couple important sounding people to create these theories that they accept as truth, making themselves feel like they're the smartest guys in the world and that they have all of the real answers. it's not enough for you to accept that there were outside forces that wanted JFK dead, instead you have to try to be "different", like those kids at hot topic try to be different, and all scream "OH NO IT WAS DEFINATELY A GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY". You put yourself above the general populace of intelligent people by using dubious information and you come out looking like the real seekers of truth.WRONG. /lex luthor[Edited on October 29, 2006 at 8:26 PM.

NIST conducted an extremely thorough three-year investigation into what caused the WTC towers to collapse, as explained in NIST’s dedicated Web site, http://wtc.nist.gov. This included consideration of a number of hypotheses for the collapses of the towers.Some 200 technical experts—including about 85 career NIST experts and 125 leading experts from the private sector and academia—reviewed tens of thousands of documents, interviewed more than 1,000 people, reviewed 7,000 segments of video footage and 7,000 photographs, analyzed 236 pieces of steel from the wreckage, performed laboratory tests and sophisticated computer simulations of the sequence of events that occurred from the moment the aircraft struck the towers until they began to collapse. Based on this comprehensive investigation, NIST concluded that the WTC towers collapsed because: (1) the impact of the planes severed and damaged support columns, dislodged fireproofing insulation coating the steel floor trusses and steel columns, and widely dispersed jet fuel over multiple floors; and (2) the subsequent unusually large jet-fuel ignited multi-floor fires (which reached temperatures as high as 1,000 degrees Celsius) significantly weakened the floors and columns with dislodged fireproofing to the point where floors sagged and pulled inward on the perimeter columns. This led to the inward bowing of the perimeter columns and failure of the south face of WTC 1 and the east face of WTC 2, initiating the collapse of each of the towers. Both photographic and video evidence—as well as accounts from the New York Police Department aviation unit during a half-hour period prior to collapse—support this sequence for each tower.NIST’s findings do not support the “pancake theory” of collapse, which is premised on a progressive failure of the floor systems in the WTC towers (the composite floor system—that connected the core columns and the perimeter columns—consisted of a grid of steel “trusses” integrated with a concrete slab; see diagram below). Instead, the NIST investigation showed conclusively that the failure of the inwardly bowed perimeter columns initiated collapse and that the occurrence of this inward bowing required the sagging floors to remain connected to the columns and pull the columns inwards. Thus, the floors did not fail progressively to cause a pancaking phenomenon.diagram of composit wtc floor system Diagram of Composite WTC Floor SystemNIST’s findings also do not support the “controlled demolition” theory since there is conclusive evidence that: * the collapse was initiated in the impact and fire floors of the WTC towers and nowhere else, and; * the time it took for the collapse to initiate (56 minutes for WTC 2 and 102 minutes for WTC 1) was dictated by (1) the extent of damage caused by the aircraft impact, and (2) the time it took for the fires to reach critical locations and weaken the structure to the point that the towers could not resist the tremendous energy released by the downward movement of the massive top section of the building at and above the fire and impact floors. Video evidence also showed unambiguously that the collapse progressed from the top to the bottom, and there was no evidence (collected by NIST, or by the New York Police Department, the Port Authority Police Department or the Fire Department of New York) of any blast or explosions in the region below the impact and fire floors as the top building sections (including and above the 98th floor in WTC 1 and the 82nd floor in WTC 2) began their downward movement upon collapse initiation. In summary, NIST found no corroborating evidence for alternative hypotheses suggesting that the WTC towers were brought down by controlled demolition using explosives planted prior to Sept. 11, 2001. NIST also did not find any evidence that missiles were fired at or hit the towers. Instead, photographs and videos from several angles clearly show that the collapse initiated at the fire and impact floors and that the collapse progressed from the initiating floors downward until the dust clouds obscured the view.[Edited on October 31, 2006 at 2:06 AM.

Objective 2: Determine why the injuries and fatalities were so high or low depending on location,including all technical aspects of fire protection, occupant behavior, evacuation, and emergencyresponse.• Approximately 87 percent of the estimated 17,400 occupants of the towers, and 99 percent ofthose located below the impact floors, evacuated successfully. In WTC 1, where the aircraftdestroyed all escape routes, 1,355 people were trapped in the upper floors when the buildingcollapsed. One hundred seven people who were below the impact floors did not survive.Since the flow of people from the building had slowed considerably 20 min before the towercollapsed, the stairwell capacity was adequate to evacuate the occupants on that morning.• In WTC 2, before the second aircraft strike, about 3,000 people got low enough in thebuilding to escape by a combination of self-evacuation and use of elevators. The aircraftdestroyed the operation of the elevators and the use of two of the three stairways. Eighteenpeople from above the impact zone found a passage through the damaged third stairway andescaped. The other 619 people in or above the impact zone perished. Seven people whowere below the impact floors did not survive. As in WTC 1, shortly before collapse, the flowof people from the building had slowed considerably, indicating that the stairwell capacitywas adequate that morning.• About 6 percent of the survivors described themselves as mobility impaired, with recentinjury and chronic illness being the most common causes; few, however, required awheelchair. Among the 118 decedents below the aircraft impact floors, investigatorsidentified seven who were mobility challenged, but were unable to determine the mobilitycapability of the remaining 111.• A principal factor limiting the loss of life was that the buildings were only one-third occupiedat the time of the attacks. NIST estimated that if the towers had been fully occupied withDraft for Public Comment Executive SummaryNCSTAR 1, WTC Investigation xlv25,000 occupants each, it would have taken about 4 hours to evacuate the buildings and over14,000 people might have perished because the stairwell capacity would not have beensufficient to evacuate that many people in the available time. Egress capacity required bycurrent building codes is determined by single floor calculations that are independent ofbuilding height and does not consider the time for full building evacuation.• Due to the presence of assembly use spaces at the top of each tower that were designed toaccommodate over 1,000 occupants per floor for the Windows on the World restaurantcomplex and the Top of the Deck observation deck, the New York City Building Code wouldhave required a minimum of four independent means of egress (stairs), one more than thethree that were available in the buildings. Given the low occupancy level onSeptember 11, 2001, NIST found that the issue of egress capacity from these places ofassembly, or from elsewhere in the buildings, was not a significant factor on that day. It isconceivable that such a fourth stairwell, depending on its location and the effects of aircraftimpact on its functional integrity, could have remained passable, allowing evacuation by anunknown number of additional occupants from above the floors of impact. If the buildingshad been filled to their capacity with 25,000 occupants, however, the required fourth stairwaywould likely have mitigated the insufficient egress capacity for conducting a full buildingevacuation within the available time.• Evacuation was assisted by participation in fire drills within the previous year by two-thirdsof survivors and perhaps hindered by a Local Law that prevented employers from requiringoccupants to practice using the stairways. The stairways were not easily navigated in somelocations due to their design, which included “transfer hallways,” where evacuees had totraverse from one stairway to another location where the stairs continued. Additionally,many occupants were unprepared for the physical challenge of full building evacuation.• The functional integrity and survivability of the stairwells was affected by the separation ofthe stairwells and the structural integrity of stairwell enclosures. In the impact region ofWTC 1, the stairwell separation was the smallest over the building height—clustered wellwithin the building core—and all stairwells were destroyed by the aircraft impact. Bycontrast, the separation of stairwells in the impact region of WTC 2 was the largest over thebuilding height—located along different boundaries of the building core—and one of threestairwells remained marginally passable after the aircraft impact. The shaft enclosures werefire rated but were not required to have structural integrity under typical accidental loads:there were numerous reports of stairwells obstructed by fallen debris from damagedenclosures.• The fire safety systems (sprinklers, smoke purge, and fire alarms,) were designed to meet orexceed current practice. However, they played no role in the safety of life on September 11because the water supplies to the sprinklers were fed by a single supply pipe that wasdamaged by the aircraft impact. The smoke purge systems were designed for use by the firedepartment after fires; they were not turned on but they also would have been ineffective dueto aircraft damage. The violence of the aircraft impact served as its own alarm. In WTC 2,contradictory public address announcements contributed to occupant confusion and somedelay in occupants beginning to evacuate.Executive Summary Draft for Public Commentxlvi NIST NCSTAR 1, WTC Investigation• For the approximately 1,000 emergency responders on the scene, this was the largest disasterthey had even seen. Despite attempts by the responding agencies to work together andperform their own tasks, the extent of the incident was well beyond their capabilities.Communications were erratic due to the high number of calls and the inadequate performanceof some of the gear. Even so, there was no way to digest, test for accuracy, and disseminatethe vast amount of information being received. Their jobs were complicated by the loss ofcommand centers in WTC 7 and then in the towers after WTC 2 collapsed. With nearly allelevator service disrupted and progress up the stairs taking about 2 min per floor, it wouldhave taken hours for the responders to reach their destinations, assist survivors, and escapehad the towers not collapsed.
10/30/2006 10:30:46 PM
Objective 3: Determine what procedures and practices were used in the design, construction,operation, and maintenance of WTC 1 and WTC 2.• Because of The Port Authority's establishment under a clause of the United StatesConstitution, its buildings were not subject to any external building code. The buildings wereunlike any others previously built, both in their height and in their innovative structuralfeatures. Nevertheless, the actual design and approval process produced two buildings thatgenerally were consistent with nearly all of the provisions of the New York City BuildingCode and other building codes of that time. The loads for which the buildings were designedexceeded the code requirements. The quality of the structural steels was consistent with thebuilding specifications. The departures from the building codes and standards did not have asignificant effect on the outcome of September 11.• For the floor systems, the fire rating and insulation thickness used on the floor trusses, whichtogether with the concrete slab served as the main source of support for the floors, were ofconcern from the time of initial construction. NIST found no technical basis or test data onwhich the thermal protection of the steel was based. On September 11, 2001, the minimumspecified thickness of the insulation was adequate to delay heating of the trusses; the amountof insulation dislodged by the aircraft impact, however, was sufficient to cause the structuralsteel to be heated to critical levels.• Based on four standard fire resistance tests that were conducted under a range of insulationand test conditions, NIST found the fire rating of the floor system to vary between 3/4 hourand 2 hours; in all cases, the floors continued to support the full design load without collapsefor over 2 hours.• The wind loads used for the WTC towers, which governed the structural design of theexternal columns and provided the baseline capacity of the structures to withstand abnormalevents such as major fires or impact damage, significantly exceeded the requirements of theNew York City Building Code and selected other building codes of the day. Two sets ofwind load estimates for the towers obtained by independent commercial consultants in 2002,however, differed by as much as 40 percent. These estimates were based on wind tunnel testsconducted as part of insurance litigation unrelated to the Investigation.- http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/NCSTAR1ExecutiveSummary.pdf

Therefore, my life is not devoted to this site, although I do find it interesting and a good place for debates even if I am on my own on this one.

Larry Silverstein, leaseholder of the WTC complex said on TV that we PULLED the building. to PULL a building is a demolition term for bringing down the building w/ explosives."I remember getting a call from the, uh, fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, 'You know we've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is, is pull it.' Uh, and they made that decision to pull and then we watched the building collapse."See the video herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7he_sAVs0AAn eyewitness report- Reporter: "I'm here with an emergency worker. He's a first year NYU medical student. He was down there; he was trying to help people. His name is Darryl."Darryl: "Yeah I was just standing there, ya know... We were watching the building [WTC 7] actually 'cuz it was on fire... the bottom floors of the building were on fire and... we heard this sound that sounded like a clap of thunder... turned around - we were shocked to see that the building was, ah well it looked like there was a shockwave ripping through the building and the windows all busted out... it was horrifying... about a second later the bottom floor caved out and the building followed after that... we saw the building crash down all the way to the ground... we were in shock." -1010 WINS NYC (09/11/01) here's what Dan Rather said about watching WTC #7 coming down:“Amazing, incredible, pick your word. For the third time today, it’s reminiscent of those pictures we’ve all seen too much on television before, where a building was deliberately destroyed by well placed dynamite to knock it down.”CBS News anchor Dan Rather commenting on the collapse of Building 7 - September 11, 2001 at approx 5:30pm EST.
