9. NIST WTC 7 FAQ

Sep 2016

The collapse of WTC 7 is the first known instance of a tall building brought down primarily by uncontrolled fires. The fires in WTC 7 were similar to those that have occurred in several tall buildings where the automatic sprinklers did not function or were not present. These other buildings, including Philadelphia's One Meridian Plaza, a 38-story skyscraper that burned for 18 hours in 1991, did not collapse due to differences in the design of the structural system...

The First and Only time in history. No fire codes changed.

2500+ Professional Architects and Engineers have put their careers on the line to sign a petition for a new investigation. That's a lot more than what most "debunkers" have done.

What do structural beams sound like - from outside a building - when they fail? jonno99 Sep 2016 #1

I never say never - especially if an external force exceeds the design specs...nt jonno99 Sep 2016 #3

the WTC structures were built with a redundancy factor of 5 times wildbilln864 Sep 2016 #4

Yep..the B-25 crash into the Empire State Building in 1945 was their design motivation. sdfernando Jun 2017 #27

FYI - It also wasn't part of the design marylandblue Jun 2017 #28

Thanks, I did not know that. /nt sdfernando Jun 2017 #40

Of course it fell uniform MosheFeingold Feb 2017 #16

I see your point captain queeg Mar 2017 #17

It did. BOTH towers fell, slighly biased in the direction from which they were hit. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #23

redundancy factor captain queeg Mar 2017 #18

What is redundancy factor?how is it defined in stucture? Ptah Mar 2017 #19

Are you an engineer, or just look stuff up on the internrt to troll people? captain queeg Mar 2017 #20

You asked - Also, what the hell is a redundancy factor? Ptah Mar 2017 #21

Your first sentence is true. However, it bears no relation to the WTC impacts/fires. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #62
