The root problem with the WTC Building 7 report is that NIST could not perform a definitive study under common standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) because it lacked the physical evidence. Most of the structural steel was removed and melted down beginning within days after September 11, and some beams were stolen as reported by Telegraph. NIST only had access to about 150 smaller pieces of steel, called coupons, cut from the whole sections of structural steel beams.
“The NIST I knew was intellectually open, non-defensive, and willing to consider competing explanations. The more I investigated, the more apparent it became that NIST had reached a predetermined conclusion by ignoring, dismissing, and denying the evidence. Among the most egregious examples is the explanation for the collapse of WTC 7 as an elaborate sequence of unlikely events culminating in the almost symmetrical total collapse of a steel-frame building into its own footprint at freefall acceleration,” Ketcham wrote.

Former NIST Employee Speaks Out, Says Building 7 Investigation Bogus, Govt ‘Denied Evidence’

That noise you here, are the tables turning.
Now we have an NIST insider finally telling the truth, it's about time.
Fact: NIST WTC 7 Report is based on pseudoscience and anyone who believes the NIST Report is true, apparently has not read how governments pay scientis to write pseudo reports to cover up crimes and make money.

Soundcheck. One... two... three... anyone listening?
Don't forget to mention the firemen you experts like to ignore so much. Wait... you're way better informed and their opinion is simply redundant for the spin. 15 years of embraced ignorance, that's at least some foundation after all. I feel ya.
Carry on, folks! You keep pushing a very good OP and who am I not to applaud you for that. Any further questions for the grandkids?
When you actually time the collapse and do the calculation it did not fall at freefall speed. My favorite is the tower collapse videos with the timers trying to show it fell at freefall to "prove" it was controlled demo, and at the same time after the smoke starts to clear you can see sections of the building still standing, proving it wasn't controlled demo lol
This reminds me of the movie JFK when they were saying it was impossible to fire the Carcano 3 times in 5.6 seconds, and in their demonstration to "prove" this, he fired the rifle 3 times in 5.6 seconds.

It was a painted cruise missile.
Even the debris was the wrong color and lettering.
Mine you that the Pentagon has the highest number of CCTV cameras of any building in the world.

I like how "opinions" are the facts and everything else is ignored.
The OS narratives of what happened to the WTC told by the PTB is a great big fat lie.
People are not as stupid as some would like to think. If you want to push the OS narratives properganda, start a thread on it to why you believe our government authority and fake stream media are honest and never lie. This I would love to participate in.

In the 15 years I've been looking into this event, I've never seen this before.
Semtex:
Semtex is a general-purpose plastic explosive containing RDX and PETN.[1] It is used in commercial blasting, demolition, and in certain military applications. Semtex became notoriously popular with terrorists because it was, until recently, extremely difficult to detect,[2] as in the case of Pan Am Flight 103.

No plane ever hit the Pentagon. It was a painted cruise missile. Even the debris was the wrong color and lettering. No footage ever released CLEARLY showing a plane striking the building. Mine you that the Pentagon has the highest number of CCTV cameras of any building in the world.
Lt. Kevin Schaeffer from the Navy Command Center recalled that "on a service road that circled the Pentagon between the B and C rings, a chunk of the 757's nose cone and front landing gear lay on the pavement a few feet away, resting against the B Ring wall."
"The nose of the plane just barely jutted out into A/E Drive (the street that runs around the inside of the building). It made a perfectly round, 5-foot hole in the wall. There was one set of landing gear (presumably from the nose) out in A/E Drive. But most of the plane's skin was in pieces not much bigger than a piece of notebook paper."
"I thought it was a terrorist bomb. . . .But then I saw the landing gear. It was on the ground in the alley between the B and C rings. When I saw it there, not only did I realize an airplane had struck the Pentagon but it was clear that the plane had come through the E, D, and C buildings to get there." (Paul K. Carlton, Jr., U.S. Air Force surgeon general,

Taken out of context you say? I don't think so, take a look for yourself and deny what you need to deny.

Not to derail thread
This reminds me of the movie JFK when they were saying it was impossible to fire the Carcano 3 times in 5.6 seconds, and in their demonstration to "prove" this, he fired the rifle 3 times in 5.6 seconds.
Later tests and by studying film and pictures taken at time estimate Oswald had 8 seconds and possibly as long as 10
seconds to fire all the shots.
First shot missed and struck curb in front of JFK limo = this shot glanced off pole support street sign in front of building
