A “normal office fire” cannot cause a fireproofed steel frame to “vanish” in an instant. Incendiaries and explosives can. Symmetrically razing a steel-framed skyscraper in mere seconds, though, requires such extraordinary demolition skills that only a handful companies in the world will even attempt it.
NIST’s fairy tales about these two contributing factors to the collapse — the trusses and a diesel fire — were clearly as ill-founded as the story about the non-existent 10-story gouge.
NIST’s new magical thermal expansion hypothesis is plagued by a plethora of problems. We will list only some of the most obvious ones here.
Editor’s Note: Since its inception in 2006, Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth has remained steadfast in its mission of exposing the flaws in the claims made by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) — namely, that the impact of two planes and…
NIST’s early insistence on the 10-story gouge, as dramatized in the 2005 Popular Mechanics magazine article, makes no sense, until you realize that the agency was reverse engineering its theory for the demise of Building 7.
In its infamous 2005 article, “Debunking the 9/11 Myths,” Popular Mechanics quoted NIST director Shyam Sunder asserting that falling debris from the North Tower poked a huge “gouge” in the front of WTC 7.
Editor’s Note: This extensive technical piece on NIST’s manipulation of the WTC 7 evidence is broken down into a series of five articles that follow the introduction below. Introduction Part 1: NIST and Popular Mechanics Fabricate Myth About WTC 7’s “Scooped-Out” 10 Stories Part 2:…
Below is a series of twenty-five provable points which clearly demonstrate that the reports produced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on the destruction of the World Trade Center (WTC) were unscientific and fraudulent. Therefore NIST itself – including its lead authors,…

In the last section of their book covering WTC 7, Popular Mechanics discusses the fact that the steel from Ground Zero was quickly removed from the site and recycled. PM’s writers attempt to explain why there was nothing unusual about this speedy cleanup of Ground Zero, and we see that, once again, their excuses are groundless.
