pteridine Did the truthers not find the original plans for the construction of WTC7 by FIOA?
Column 79 and 44 had 32 shear studs connected to the concrete floor slabs and girders? This meant the building 7 could not have collapsed in the way NIST engineers said it did?
NIST study said there were no shear studs connections at Column 79 and 44? If NIST refuses to release their drawings you have to speculate are they lying to cover up?
Flight AA77 on 9/11: New FDR Analysis Supports the Official Flight Path Leading to Impact with the Pentagon
Frank Legge, (B.Sc.(Hons.), Ph.D.) and Warren Stutt, ( B.Sc.(Hons.) Comp. Sci.) January 2011

Category 3: The CIT group of witnesses (about 12) is those whose testimony appears to suggest a plane flight path north of the CITGO station. Such a path, if impact were to follow, could not reasonably create the observed damage trail and could not avoid creating damage inside the Pentagon in its direction of travel. Consequently, the proponents of this theory claim the plane flew over the Pentagon. Drawbacks to this theory include: (a) There is thus far only one questionable witness to a plane flying away. (b) The CIT witnesses appear in some instances to have been led by their interviewer (for example, the interview23 of Albert Hemphill by Craig Ranke). (c) Many CIT witnesses also testify to plane impact24. The theory also suffers from the difficulty in assessing the position of the plane by witnesses not immediately underneath, for example those at the cemetery, and the fact that flyover is inferred rather than observed. Legge and Chandler have further pointed out that the proposed deviation from the established approach path would require a strikingly large plane bank angle, which no witness reported.23

Category 1: Category 1 witnesses, those who saw the approach and/or impact of a large plane, are in the great majority. Those who claim to have seen actual plane impact range upwards from about 31,20 considered a reliable figure by some researchers, 21 to as high as around 89 to 100. Many of these witnesses have been interviewed more than once. As a group, these witnesses support the main theory of large plane impact. Because this great majority of witnesses are all actual eyewitnesses, as opposed to witnesses who inferred something, either from a perceived, apparent flight path of a plane, or by way of sound or odor, or other less direct means, category 1 witnesses are by far the most compelling group of witnesses. It is imperative, therefore, that the alternative theories (whose witness numbers are far less, and whose witnesses suffer the disadvantage of having to infer a conclusion) address and explain the existence of the category 1 witnesses rather than simply ignoring them, or suggesting without proof that they are part of a wider conspiracy to defraud.
Gopher 6 took off from Reagan airport minutes before impact. The pilot of military cargo jet was asked to follow the plane and he said I see the plane sprawled out in NE direction.

Reagan Airport controllers asked a passing Air National Guard Lockheed C-130 Hercules to identify and follow the aircraft.

Kara: OK, And on the ground, and Colonel, we pulled your flight strips from Andrews Tower, and we’ve got two flight strips on you. And the first one is at 1330, 9:30 Eastern Daylight Time, and we believe that was your original takeoff scheduled that was entered into the flight data system. And, then later, we have a second flight strip which is 1333, and we believe that is the flight strip that was executed when you actually got wheels up. And that seems to correspond with your recollection that you were up at about 9:31?
O’Brien: Correct
www.oredigger61.org...
Kara: That’s correct. It’s not, no one knows it’s that it’s seventy seven, so when Dulles first gives that point out there, they pick up a primary only coming in, and that’s how it’s announced over the air traffic network.
O’Brien: OK, no, I was not aware of that fast moving aircraft. And like I said earlier, I believe I had first picked the airplane up, and I’m guessing we were ah at 3,000 feet, maybe had just been cleared up to 4000 feet, when I noticed the airplane. He was up a little bit higher than us at that point and then when ATC asked us again if we had the airplane in sight he had continued his descent down, was in a fairly, like I said, steep bank turn to the right at about our 12 o’clock position and at about the same altitude, I would say was about 3500 feet or so.

AE911 are also very unlikely to back away from their case that the girder could not have walked off its seat. Again they exploit the lack up understanding of the average person, and make a compelling sounding case that failure of that connection is impossible. Prior work by @Tony Szamboti and @gerrycan does seem to show that when considered in abstract isolation as a local subsystem the girder is left an inch or two away from failure. They took that and then made a rather extreme leap to claim the entire collapse due to fire was impossible. Hulseys result was rather different and I think they have struggled to reconcile the two analyses. Did the girder not move quite enough (Tony/Gerry), or did the entire building expand like a balloon with no connection failures (Hulsey)?
Magnetic declination
en.m.wikipedia.org...
Magnetic declination or variation is the angle on the horizontal plane between magnetic north (the direction the north end of a compass needle points, corresponding to the direction of the Earth's magnetic field lines) and true north (the direction along a meridian towards the geographic North Pole). This angle varies depending on position on the Earth's surface, and changes over time.
Magnetic declination varies both from place to place and with the passage of time. As a traveller cruises the east coast of the United States, for example, the declination varies from 16 degrees west in Maine, to 6 in Florida, to 0 degrees in Louisiana, to 4 degrees east (in Texas). The declination at London, UK is one degree 7 minutes west (2014), and as the country is quite small that figure is fairly good for the whole of the country. It is reducing, and scientists predict that in about 2050 it will be zero.[2]

neutronflux Thermal stress can only occur if there are no shear studs connections on column 79 and 44. That's what NIST stated. You posting links that have nothing to do with the topic.
en.m.wikipedia.org...
Thermal stress is stress created by any change in temperature to a material. These stresses can lead to fracture or plastic deformation depending on the other variables of heating, which include material types and contraints.[1] Temperature gradients, thermal expansion or contraction and thermal shocks are things that can lead to thermal stress. This type of stress is highly dependent on the thermal expansion coefficient which varies from material to material. In general the larger the temperature change, the higher the level of stress that can occur.
