Nist Wtc7 Press Release Thurs. Aug. 21, NIST NCSTAR 1-9 & 1A Options

[dMz]

FWIW, there is a press release and webcast scheduled for 11-noon EDT on Thurs. Aug. 21, 2008.

"The draft WTC 7 investigation report released at the briefing will be open for public comment through noon Eastern Daylight Time on Sept. 15, 2008."

To emphasize from Dr. Frank Greening's paper above:

"5.0 Collapse Initiation and Propagation

NIST’s computer simulation of the collapse of WTC 7, as presented in Chapters 8 and 12 of NCSTAR 1-9, is remarkable for the low temperatures - as low as 100 °C – at which failures of connecting elements such as bolts and studs are predicted to have first occurred in WTC 7 after about 3:00 p.m. on 9/11. These failures were caused, so NIST asserts, by the thermal expansion of asymmetrical framing beams and girders on the east side of floors 12/13. Nevertheless, in NIST's model, complete separation of column 79 from lateral restraints to buckling is predicted to occur only at temperatures well above 300 °C. Thus NIST’s collapse initiation hypothesis requires that structural steel temperatures on floors 12/13 significantly exceeded 300 °C - a condition I believe that could never have been realized with NIST’s postulated 32 kg/m2 or lower fuel loading."

Well d, things are crystal clear.

This is why they didn't want to use water to fight the fires in case boiling water caused more rapid failure of all the joints in the building. (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Yes O892... fortunately I live at "high altitude" where water boils around 95-97C, so I'm safe to use steel there. (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif)

EDIT: Seriously though, boiling rusted, frozen iron/steel parts is a pretty good way to crack them loose BTW.
