NIST is not a trustworthy source for information about the collapses. NIST outright said Freefall was an impossibility for building seven in Aug 2008. They ruled it out because in their mind the building seven had structural support underneath and their failures inside the building were slow and there needed to be sequences of failures to take place first and nothing occurred in an instant. Debunkers have never noticed this flaw in their analysis and just accepted their painful lies in their revised update on Nov 2008
This video is all you need' to conclusively show building seven was controlled demolition on 9/11. NIST was fully aware on Aug 2018, their fire progressive collapse was not compatible with free fall.
Don't even have to watch the full video. NIST revealed the truth between 2 minutes and just over 4 minutes.

Failure of Welded Floor Truss Connections from the Exterior Wall during Collapse of the World Trade Center Towers
Failure of connections, as a result of overloading, occurred within the heat-affected zone of the base metals
app.aws.org...
Summary
Analysis of the connections supporting the composite floor system of the WTC towers showed that at and below the im- pact floors, the greater majority (above 90%) of the floor truss connections were either bent downward or completely re- moved from the exterior column. This was probably related to the overloading of the floors below the impact region after col- lapse initiation. Depending upon weld joint geometry, detachment of the main load-bearing seats was a result of either fracture in the heat affected zone of the base material (standoff plate detached from spandrel) or through the weld metal (seat angle detached from standoff plate). Failure in both cases was assumed to be a result of a shear mechanism as a result of overloading from floors above impacting those below. There did not appear to be a significant change in distribution of failure modes of the floor truss connections when comparing those connections inside vs. outside of the impact region or those ex- posed to pre-collapse fires and those that were not.

The 80,000 tons of structural steel slowed down the collapses of the Twin Towers to about ⅔ (two-thirds) of free-fall.3 And the core collapsed at about 40% of free-fall speed, coming down last.4 According to Richard Gage: “To bring a building symmetrically down, what we have to do is remove the core columns.” But on 9/11 the stronger core columns came down last, which violates this supposed most fundamental rule of controlled demolition.

WTC7: Does This "Look Like" a Controlled Implosion?

A closer inspection reveals the first move of the visible perimeter frame was a sudden lurch to the left at the moment the west penthouse descended. There is no descent of the perimeter frame. The east half of the structure is falling over to the north at onset of the perimeter frame.
An explanation of that motion: www.metabunk.org...
Watch the left vertical edge (NE corner). It is falling over toward the camera, pivoting far below what is visible, near the ground. Watch the left face; it is turning to face the camera.
Does this look like controlled demolition? How does controlled demolition make the structure move like this? There is no drop, sudden or otherwise; just half the structure falling over.
Your second video shows the east half continued falling north throughout descent, creating the "kink", or vertical fold of the north face.
The east half is fully facing the camera, falling north, while the west half is noticeably falling south.
The west half has still not distorted commensurate with the radical motion of the east half. The two "halves" are falling over in opposing directions.
How did controlled demolition cause the perimeter frame to behave as two separate units during collapse, connected by the north wall?
No, it doesn't "look like" controlled demolition to me. It behaves like a perimeter frame that sustained a vertical breach somewhere out of view of the camera.

Ok?
Moot point because there is zero evidence of detonations or thermite to prompt an investigation.

And the vertical columns only tumbled down because of loss of lateral support from the failed floor systems.

Because you don’t like a report doesn’t mean there is proof of the fantasy conspiracies?
Should I believe in nukes?
No planes and missiles or lasers?
Dr Wood’s Dustification?
Should I believe in Gages fizzle no flash bombs. When a controlled demolition system would never survive the jet impacts? And the towers did not fall through the path of greatest resistance?
Or should I believe the columns were cut by thermite? When the columns fell last? From tumbling? Not being cut? With no visible molten cuts? Form columns still standing?
From meta bunk on the actual WTC 7 collapse progression.

Joe hill does not know anything, never thought of that.
Look at the floor plan, you can see why there were two breaks
Blue is the failure of the columns underneath the Penthouse. Caused a kink
Red is the main core system of columns.
Crack is explainable by just looking at the design plan.
7 World Trade Center
en.m.wikipedia.org...
With a loss of lateral support across nine floors, column 79 buckled – pulling the east penthouse and nearby columns down with it. With the buckling of these critical columns, the collapse then progressed east-to-west across the core, ultimately overloading the perimeter support, which buckled between Floors 7 and 17, causing the remaining portion of the building above to fall down as a single unit.

Basille were independent scentists who contacted Steve Jones for samples to test. They confirmed the chips had thermitic properties.
Any Updates on Mark Basile's Study?
We skipped August.
66 months now.

They did three investigations to confirm Aluminum was present. A DSC test, a XED test and MEK test all three confirmed elemental AI and Iron oxide.
MEK test
By Oystein
The results ranged from 1.5 to 7.5 kiloJoules per gram, a wide spread that makes "high-tech nano-stuff" an unlikely explanation. More importantly, 2 of the sample released more than 4kJ/g of energy, which is the maximum energy thermite could possibly release due to the basic laws of this universe.

So you admit the collapse under the penthouse was total, not a collapse where the penthouse house disappeared from sight then immediately stopped? Like is Hulsey model.
Anyway, How.
Your claiming all columns throughout the WTC7 were “magically” weaken over a height of eight floors in the same instance in something over 600 spots to make WTC 7 collapse. Is that false? Like the Hulsey model you support?
Then WTC 7 would have fallen uniformly straight down. If all columns where cut in the same instance over eight floors, there would be no resistance to make it fall in two separate units. Gravity pulls straight down.
Thanks for highlighting the fact that WTC 7 went through a internal East to west progressive collapse with the facade falling often the core progressive collapse, and Hulsey’s model is FBAR.

If your sooo right, fix the Wikipedia entry.
And the question was.
You can show how the video/ audio evidence is more supportive of a conspiracy fantasy?

Is that what was in the final report. Then it should be easy for you to cite those exact words if your quoting the actual final report in context?

Not a truther claim steel melted.
FEMA confirmed this unusual phenomenon in its steel study from 2002.
How long do we have to go on with this silliness?
FEMA asserts a very hot fire sulfur caused it, but I don't think theory ever been put to the test.
I know Jonathan Cole ( Civil Engineer) did an test and found the steel beam did not melt after 24 hours, even though the steel was heated up by fuel for 24 hours, building materials, gypsum wallboard, and other stuff was mixed in to see what would happen. Steel was fine no holes.
FEMA presumably never did a test because it was false. They're no video of them ever performing an experiment to show 1000c fire and sulfur melted the steel on 9/11.
See the burned red/grey chips, that's Iron Molten spheres. You only get Iron Molten spheres when the temp over 1500c.

In something of an experiment, I've made a detailed video focussing on one small claim of evidence. The claim is that the presence of iron microspheres in the World Trade Center dust means that high temperature incendiaries were used to demolish it.
The video explains that you can make iron microsphere by making sparks with steel hitting or abrading things, or by burning some tiny bits of iron in a low temperature flame. I also discuss how some of the spheres found might also have been pre-existing from construction, or might have been created after the collapse during cleanup.

Watch the video and listen to NIST. All you hear for 95 percent of time on video between 2 minutes and just after 4 minutes is NIST.
Listen to them explain the free fall question! Don't take my word for it, just listen. This all you need to come away believing the truthers are right about the demolitions,
