NIST confirms its Building 7 report is indefensible — Part 1 of 5: The omitted web stiffeners
Ted Walter writes: “While we wait for the lawsuit to run its course, hoping the courts will order NIST to produce a real response to our request for correction, it is important that we unpack for the engineering community and the 9/11 research community what NIST’s purported response to the request for correction has revealed about its Building 7 report.”
Structural engineer Seth McVey: No way to take unbiased look at evidence and not question official 9/11 story
This week on 9/11 Free Fall, structural engineer Seth McVey joins host Andy Steele to talk about his successful efforts to inform fellow engineers of the controlled demolition evidence and his hope that the engineering community will lead the charge for a new 9/11 investigation.
Architect Andrew Salter on waking up to controlled demolition after living 9/11
This week on 9/11 Free Fall, New York-based architect Andrew Salter joins host Andy Steele to share his experience on 9/11 and his story of discovering the evidence of controlled demolition and trying to inform others around him.
Prestigious journal agrees to new review of 9/11 paper a decade after censoring it
It took a four-year ethics complaint process and more than ten years of waiting, but finally the current editor of the ASCE’s Journal of Engineering Mechanics has agreed to conduct a new review of a “discussion paper” by researchers Tony Szamboti and Richard Johns that was unfairly rejected in 2013. The grounds for the rejection was that the discussion paper was “out of scope,” even though it was critiquing a paper published in the same journal.
Structural engineer Larry Cooper gets standing ovation presenting Building 7 to local ASCE group
This week on 9/11 Free Fall, retired structural engineer Larry Cooper joins host Andy Steele to give an update on the presentation he made last week to the SunCoast Branch of the Florida Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
UK filmmaker Alan Golding on making ‘The Unspeakable’
This week on 9/11 Free Fall, filmmaker Alan Golding joins host Andy Steele to talk about his inspiring experience working on The Unspeakable and about his reasons for being part of the 9/11 Truth Movement.
Countering NIST’s dangerous legal arguments — and preposterous technical arguments
This week on 9/11 Free Fall, attorney Mick Harrison and AE911Truth Director of Strategy Ted Walter join host Andy Steele to discuss the latest developments in AE911Truth’s lawsuit against NIST regarding its report on Building 7.
Peer Reviewing NIST: How years of FOIA requests exposed critical flaws in NIST’s Building 7 collapse analysis
Structural engineer Ronald H. Brookman writes in this newly published retrospective technical article: “As I discovered through years of painstaking review of hundreds of documents after the final NCSTAR reports were released — indeed, four weeks was not enough — crucial structural information was omitted from NCSTAR 1-9 without explanation, and NIST’s collapse-initiation sequence for WTC 7 was based on speculation.”
Peer Reviewing NIST: How years of FOIA requests exposed critical flaws in NIST’s Building 7 collapse analysis
This article describes a series of FOIA (Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552) requests that I filed from 2009 to 2014 seeking information related to the alleged walk-off failures in WTC 7. Excerpts from these FOIA requests and appeals to NIST are indented in the following paragraphs. Links to the FOIA requests, appeals, and responses are provided throughout. All relevant documents regarding the design and construction of WTC 7 can be obtained by request from NIST, so that anyone with the requisite expertise can verify my observations. NIST’s responses, or lack thereof, to my technical questions should be enlightening to anyone studying the WTC tragedy.
