To your knowledge did they have any of the steel from building 7 to study or just from one and two towers? I've heard before that NIST didn't have any steel samples from 7 but that seems a bit much to believe.

Right. Thank you. I just remembered I heard that from NIST itself which is why the NIST report was so hard for me to take seriously. They did everything on a computer based on no physical evidence, only video evidence. I remember now thinking how hard it would be to cite The NIST report in support of the official story when they seemed to disagree with the FEMA report that came first. I'm going to go with you and FEMA on this one.
Here's the first link I found.

You don't even realize that what you posted contradicts your claims about the van and the transcripts. Do you have any idea how many times "druthers" have been caught doctoring videos and other items?
No steel from WTC 7 was recovered from the collapse site, as NIST reports have repeatedly pointed out.
Accordingly, it was impossible for NIST to make any statements about the quality of WTC 7’s steel in its investigations.
Professor Jonathan Barnett, Fire Protection Engineer, Simpson Gumpertz & Heger, reported, “It came from a much larger beam… This was the size of steel that they used in the construction of Tower 7. They didn’t use this particular kind of steel in Tower 1 or Tower 2. So that’s why we know its pedigree. It was a surprise to me because it was so eroded and deformed and so we took it for analysis in the lab.” BBC, “The Third Tower,” 2008 (48-minute mark).
A story in the official publication of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute stated: “A one inch [steel] column has been reduced to half-inch thickness. Its edges – which are curled like a paper scroll – have been thinned to almost razor sharpness. Gaping holes – some larger than a silver dollar – let light shine through a formerly solid steel flange. This Swiss cheese appearance shocked all of the fire-wise professors, who expected to see distortion and bending – but not holes.”

Metallurgy report showing the pools were steel and not aluminum, zinc, and copper? Pools of molten metals in the debris pile that has underground fires, being fed by air through the PATH tunnels would nit be a surprise. Nor is the possibility that those fires could get hot enough to deform steel. Has nothing to do with the collapse of the buildings.
“[S]teel – which has a melting point of 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit – may weaken and bend, but does not melt during an ordinary office fire. Yet metallurgical studies on WTC steel brought back to WPI reveal that a novel phenomenon – called a eutectic reaction – occurred at the surface, causing intergranular melting capable of turning a solid steel girder into Swiss cheese.”
In May 2004, the RJ Lee Group issued a report, entitled “WTC Dust Signature,” at the request of the Deutsche Bank, in order to prove (to its insurance company) that the building was “pervasively contaminated with WTC Dust, unique to the WTC Event.”[19] The report listed five elements in this signature, one of which was: “Spherical iron and spherical or vesicular silicate particles that result from exposure to high temperature.”[20] This was the only statement about iron’s being modified by high temperature in this 2004 report.
However, RJ Lee had written an earlier report in 2003, entitled “WTC Dust Signature Study,” which contained much more about iron. It said: “Particles of materials that had been modified by exposure to high temperature, such as spherical particles of iron and silicates, are common in WTC Dust . . . but are not common in ‘normal’ interior office dust.”[21] This 2003 version of the report even pointed out that, whereas iron particles constitute only 0.04 percent of normal building dust, they constituted an enormous amount of the WTC dust: 5.87 percent (meaning that there was almost 1,500 times more iron in the dust than normal).[22] This earlier version also explicitly stated that iron and other metals were “melted during the WTC Event, producing spherical metallic particles.”[23]

Thank you for this link, and the article is very interesting.
It is clear that the NIST report was flawed and biased, just like the official 9/11 report. How anyone can think we have the truth with these two documents is beyond me. I get people that have not studied and rely on the MSM for their opinion.
Anyone who has studied must, in their heart at least, realize the total official story is full of lies and mistruths. How can anyone trust these documents?

Anyone still believing that fire brought that building down is lost in confusion. All the evidence points straight to controlled demolition. ALL of it! All the video, all the photos, all the audio, all the documents, all the witness testimonies, and all the events that transpired after 9/11 in the Middle East.

Tell you what,
Debunk this thread point by point then come back and tell us how "all the evidence points straight to a controlled demolition".
we can also safely say that it did not fall at gravitational free fall (well other than those 2.25 seconds)
