1) The collapse of WTC 7 in under 7 seconds. NIST admits 2.25 seconds of FREE FALL acceleration. NIST refuses to release the data used in their collapse simulation claiming it might “jeopardize public safety”. Steel framed high-rise buildings have NEVER totally collapsed from fire or structural damage. Building 7 was not hit by a plane. Building 7’s collapse was not mentioned in the 9/11 Commission Report. Google ‘Building 7’, ‘WTC 7’. SOURCED: kendoc911.wordpress.com... 2) BBC correspondent Jane Standley and Phil Hayton reported the collapse of WTC 7 (Salomon Brothers Building) 20 minutes before it happened. BBC claims to have lost their original footage on 9/11 “(for reasons of cock-up, not conspiracy)”. CNN/FOX/MSNBC also had early reports of the collapse of building 7. “either collapsed or is collapsing”. “That is the building that is going to go down next.” Ashleigh Banfield. Research ‘BBC wtc 7’, ‘early reports’. SOURCED: kendoc911.wordpress.com... 3) 2300+ Engineers and Architects support a new independent 9/11 investigation. Richard Gage AIA (Founder of AE911).

SOURCED: kendoc911.wordpress.com... 4) Hundreds of firefighters and witness testimony to MOLTEN METAL was ignored by the 9/11 Commission. NIST’s John Gross denies the existence of Molten Metal. FEMA found “Evidence of a severe high temperature corrosion attack” on the “Swiss Cheese” WTC 7 steel sample, ‘Limited Metallurgical Examination (FEMA C-13, Appendix C-6)’. Leslie Robertson claimed “As of 21 days after the attack, the fires were still burning and molten steel was still running”. “Like you’re in a foundry” FDNY witnesses. Nano Thermite was found in WTC dust at Ground Zero. Peer reviewed in the Bentham Open Chemical Physics Journal (Steven Jones, Niels Harrit et al.). Research ‘Iron rich spheres’, ‘Red gray chips’.

SOURCED: kendoc911.wordpress.com... 5) Hundreds of Firefighters and witness testimony to BOMBS/EXPLOSIONS ignored by the 9/11 Commission Report. 9/11 Commission Report bars 503 1st responder eyewitnesses and 118 Firefighter witnesses to explosions. From video footage it’s clear to see ‘squibs’ and waves of explosions ripping down the side of the Towers. Many Firefighters witnessed “Explosions in the lobby and sub levels”, ‘Oral Histories’. NIST failed to follow NFPA 921 guidelines for fire and explosion investigations. Research Barry Jennings, William Rodriguez, Erik Lawyer, David Chandler, Graeme MacQueen, Kevin Ryan ‘Demolition Access’. SOURCED: kendoc911.wordpress.com... 6) Dick Cheney was in command of NORAD on 9/11. Cheney recalls taking charge from the PEOC bunker (CNN). Norman Mineta testified “Of course the orders still stand, have you heard anything to the contrary?”. Cheney admits that he “Gave the order to shoot down Flight 93”. NORAD failed to intercept any of the four flights for over an hour and a half. Several ‘War Game’ exercises were taking place as 9/11 was unfolding. Research ‘NORAD Drills’, Webster Tarpley, Norman Mineta, Mark Dayton “NORAD lied”. SOURCED: kendoc911.wordpress.com... 7) The FBI confiscated 84/85 videos from in and away from the Pentagon as noted in the ‘Declaration of Jacqueline Maguire’. Pentagon security CCTV does not clearly show a 757. The Double Tree and Citgo videos do not show a plane and the Sheraton Hotel video was never released to the public. ‘5 Still Frames’ released in 2002. CCTV footage released after the ‘Moussaoui trial’ in 2006 ‘Judicial Watch’. SOURCED: kendoc911.wordpress.com... 8) Osama Bin Laden was NOT wanted by the FBI for the 9/11 attacks, “No hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11”. CIA created, trained and funded “Al Qaeda” during the Mujahideen (1980’s). Osama Bin Laden was a CIA asset named ‘Tim Osman’. Fox News reported Osama died in Dec 2001. At least 7 of the 19 listed hijackers were reported alive by the BBC. FBI has never updated their original list. No video footage of 19 hijackers or passengers boarding the 4 flights. Pilots of the 4 planes never squawked the hijacking code ‘7500’. Research ‘FBI Bin Laden’, ‘Alive hijackers’, ‘Al-CIA-Da’. SOURCED: kendoc911.wordpress.com... 9) ‘5 Dancing Israeli’s were arrested with ‘Mossad Truck Bombs’ on 9/11’. Arresting Officer was Scott DeCarlo. ‘Kurzberg’s, Shmuel, Ellner, Marmari’. They were held in FBI custody for 71 days before being deported back to Israel. They claimed to be in New York to “document the event.” ‘Urban Moving Systems’ was a Mossad front company operated by Dominic Suter. UMS was given a “$498,750 Federal grant” in June of 2001. ‘George Washington Bridge’ and ‘King Street/5th’ bomb threat. Research ‘Mossad Truck Bombs’ and ‘Israeli Spying’. SOURCED: kendoc911.wordpress.com... 10) Six out of the Ten 9/11 Commissioners have publicly stated that the report was “Setup to fail” – Co Chairs Lee Hamilton and Thomas Kean. “The white house has played cover up” – Max Cleland, resigned calling it a “National scandal’ and “Whitewash”. John Farmer wrote the book ‘The Ground Truth’ where he wrote “the government agreed not to tell the truth about 9/11”. “We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting” – Timothy Roemer. Tom Daschle “Was asked to not investigate 9/11″. Bush hesitated for 441 Days before starting the 911 Commission after pressure from the victims’ family members, ‘Jersey Girls’. The 911 commission was only given $15 million to investigate 9/11. Initially only $3 million was given. Director Philip Zelikow wrote the outline before the commission began. The PATRIOT ACT was written before 9/11 and signed into law on October 26th, 2001. Just 45 days after 9/11. SOURCED: kendoc911.wordpress.com... 11) In September, 2000. The Project for a New American Century (PNAC), a neo-conservative think-tank released their report, entitled “Rebuilding America’s Defenses.” In it, they declared that “the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a NEW PEARL HARBOR.” Dick Cheney states that 9/11 achieved the goals of PNAC and was his “highest moment in office”.

SOURCED: kendoc911.wordpress.com... 12) On September 10th, 2001, Rumsfeld reported $2.3 TRILLION missing and unaccounted for at the Pentagon. Renovations were recently done to the Pentagon in the exact spot where “Flight 77” impacted. The area targeted was the Office of Naval Intelligence Accounting department auditing the unaccounted $2.3 Trillion. Dov Zakheim was Pentagon Comptroller and was CEO of System Planning Corporation (SPC) from 1987-2001, which specialized in ‘Flight Termination Systems’.

All three were breached on 9/11. ICTS also provided security at 9/11 airports. Research Marvin Bush, Barry McDaniel, Wirt Walker, Ezra Harel. Kroll took control of WTC security after the 1993 attack. “Who killed John O’Neill?”. O’Neill was Former FBI task force agent investigating Al Qaeda/Bin Laden. Was transferred by Kroll Corporation to head WTC security just before 9/11. John O’Neil died in the Towers. Jerome Hauer was Managing Director with Kroll Inc. and former director of OEM. Research ‘Kroll’, ‘ICTS’, ‘Securacom’. SOURCED: kendoc911.wordpress.com... 14) “Flight 93” debris was spread out over miles. Media reported multiple crash sites. Chris Konicki described the crash site as “nothing that you could distinguish that a plane had crashed there”. Coroner Wallace Miller claimed there were “no bodies” and “Not a drop of blood”. Mayor Ernie Stull said “there was no plane”. Rumsfeld claimed they “shot down the plane over Pennsylvania”. FBI claimed to have recovered “95 percent” of “Flight 93”. NTSB was called off the investigation. Research the Shanksville crash site. SOURCED: kendoc911.wordpress.com... 15) Towers were built to withstand a Boeing jet(s). Leslie Robertson, WTC structural Engineer, claimed he “designed it for a 707 to hit it”. Frank De Martini, deceased Manager of WTC Construction stated the towers “could probably sustain multiple impacts of jetliners” and that a plane would be “like a pencil puncturing your screen netting”. Charlie Thornton, Structural Engineer said “As far as a plane knocking a building over, that would not happen.” George Bush claims he watched the first plane crash into the north tower on TV before entering the classroom, “the TV was obviously on”. Bush was informed about the second impact while reading ‘The Pet Goat’. SOURCED: kendoc911.wordpress.com...

You want proof of this or that, but only state pancake theory is retarded when the NIST reports really are not based on pancaking?
Where is the filtered and isolated audio based off WTC video that clearly isolates the sounds of detonating of explosives. Richard Gauge and Steven Jones would wet themselves if the evidence existed. But had to create the concept of fizzle no flash bombs. Thus, alienating those that claim heard explosions.
For thermite or class CD. No steel worked on by demolitions. Over 18,000 individual pieces of human remains recovered. 6,000 that could fit in a test tube. No demolitions shrapnel recovered, blasting cap fragments, shape charge fragments, demolition wiring, or fragments of remote detonators.

You have advocates of CD, Nukes, Lasers and holograms, holograms and missiles, and dustification disproving each other.
People not understanding the NIST reports are a comprised collection of peer reviewed and published research because conspiracists are to cheep to subscribe to engineering or science journals. Or to lazy to go to a college library.
After 15 years, no theory that can supersede sagging and contracting floor beams causing inward bowing and collapse.
Still pushing the false narrative, after 15 years, that movement skeptics explaintion relies on fire melted steel. Which was never the case. 800 too 1000 degrees f, steel losses 60 percent of its ability to resist strain. And the heat only caused sagging, not failure. It's the cooling and contracting that initiated failure.

14. How did NIST derive the temperatures in the WTC towers and how valid are they?
Using all the visual and physical evidence available, NIST conducted simulations of the fires in each of the towers from the time of airplane impact to the collapses. The computational model used to simulate the fires was NIST's Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). This model had been validated in numerous experiments and fire recreations prior to the NIST WTC investigation. Additional large-scale experiments conducted during the investigation (NIST NCSTAR 1-5) provided further assurance of the validity of the model output. This output was in the form of maps of the air temperatures on each of the floors over the duration of the fires (shown in NIST NCSTAR 1-5F).
In a following set of computations, the evolving temperatures of the concrete and steel structural components of the towers were calculated by exposing them to the mapped air temperatures (shown in NIST NCSTAR 1-5G).
Both sets of computations are based on the fundamental laws of combustion, heat transfer, and air flow. The methods have been documented extensively and have been successfully subjected to technical peer review and published in professional journals.
15. Since the melting point of steel is about 1,500 degrees Celsius (2,800 degrees Fahrenheit) and the temperature of a jet fuel fire does not exceed 1,000 degrees Celsius (1,800 degrees Fahrenheit), how could fires have impacted the steel enough to bring down the WTC towers?
In no instance did NIST report that steel in the WTC towers melted due to the fires. The melting point of steel is about 1,500 degrees Celsius (2,800 degrees Fahrenheit). Normal building fires and hydrocarbon (e.g., jet fuel) fires generate temperatures up to about 1,100 degrees Celsius (2,000 degrees Fahrenheit). NIST reported maximum upper layer air temperatures of about 1,000 degrees Celsius (1,800 degrees Fahrenheit) in the WTC towers (for example, see NCSTAR 1, Figure 6-36).
However, when bare steel reaches temperatures of 1,000 degrees Celsius, it softens and its strength reduces to roughly 10 percent of its room temperature value. Steel that is unprotected (e.g., if the fireproofing is dislodged) can reach the air temperature within the time period that the fires burned within the towers. Thus, yielding and buckling of the steel members (floor trusses, beams, and both core and exterior columns) with missing fireproofing were expected under the fire intensity and duration determined by NIST for the WTC towers.

Not wanting to be a nitpicker but the concrete floors weren't a foot thick, they were much thinner at 100mm or 4" thick and lightweight concrete (less compression strength than standard high strength mixes) as well. They really wouldn't offer much opposition to a large falling mass at all exactly as we've observed.
The floors consisted of 4-inch (10 cm) thick lightweight concrete slabs laid on a fluted steel deck...
