A Structural Reevaluation of the Collapse of World Trade Center 7

Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth will host a public presentation on the findings of a four-year study into the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC 7) at 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 5, in the Heyns Room of the Faculty Club at UC Berkeley.

University of Alaska Fairbanks researcher Leroy Hulsey was the study’s principal investigator. He will present the findings outlined in his team’s draft report for public comment, which will be released two days earlier. The release of the draft report will be followed by a six-week public comment period, with a final report scheduled for release later this fall. Hulsey’s study was funded by the nonprofit organization Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.

WTC 7 was a 47-story office building that fell nearly seven hours after the collapse of the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. In a 2008 report, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology attributed the collapse to office fires in the lower stories of the building. The presentation is open to the public, but seating priority will be given to UC Berkeley students and faculty.
