Reply #47: To quickly summarize NIST's WTC tower collapse studies:

[stickdog]

1) NIST's best evidence, the actual physical pieces of steel structure that they analyzed, says that the temperatures didn't get hot enough to cause any kind of collapse.

2) NIST's best guesstimate model says that the temperatures didn't get hot enough to cause any kind of collapse.

3) NIST's worst case, reverse-engineered, combustible overloaded model says that the temperatures may have gotten hot enough to cause an initial collapse, but doesn't explain how this initial structural failure then triggered the total structural collapse of both WTC-1 & WTC-2 including the entire cores of both buildings.

4) NIST didn't even attempt to explain WTC-7's collapse.

Right, everybody?
