This letter constitutes an appeal of the decisions handed down in the Response, and asks NIST, through its Deputy Director, to reconsider its position on the issues raised in the Request. The particular issues raised in the Request, and addressed in the Response, will be…
Introduction: Claims have been made that there is no direct proof that explosions occurred in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, but there are in fact visible photographs of collapse results that provide that proof. One such photograph posted in late 2005 is shown…
Abstract: This paper aims to bring to light just one specific aspect of the physical evidence, namely, the phenomena known as “demolition squibs”. In actuality, this evidence is better described as high velocity bursts of debris ejected from point-like sources near the exterior facade as…
Conclusion: For all of the foregoing reasons, we the undersigned Requesters, respectfully request that NIST revise its WTC Report in accordance with the arguments, requests and recommendations contained herein. NIST is hereby advised that if it does not comply with a particular request made herein,…
Abstract: In the past two years there has been an exponential growth in the number of people questioning the explanations we have been given, by official U.S. government bodies, concerning the collapses of the three WTC buildings in NYC on 9/11/2001. It is probably safe…
Introduction: In this paper I focus on the application of the scientific method to the study of what really happened on 9/11/2001, particularly in the destruction of the World Trade Center buildings. There is something here to look at in depth: this is serious business….
On August 30, 2006 a taxpayer funded entity known as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published responses to what they deemed “frequently asked questions” regarding the demise of World Trade Center building 1, 2 and 7. I will briefly examine some of…
Abstract: The NIST investigation of the WTC building failures was extensive, but NIST did not substantiate its conclusions experimentally. On the contrary, many of NIST’s tests contradicted its conclusions. Furthermore, there are several examples in which NIST chose to manipulate input data, and then certify…
Abstract: In this paper, I call for a serious investigation of the hypothesis that WTC 7 and the Twin Towers were brought down, not just by impact damage and fires, but through the use of pre-positioned cutter-charges. I consider the official FEMA, NIST, and 9-11…
Abstract: One of the greatest mysteries of September 11, 2001 is the collapse of the Twin Towers. Claims that explosions contributed to the collapses were made on 9/11 and have persisted, but studies supportive of the U.S. government’s account of events have ignored or denied…
