The Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) today announced details of its $16 million, 24-month federal building and fire safety investigation to study the structural failure and subsequent progressive collapse of several World Trade Center (WTC) buildings following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, in New York City. The study of WTC Buildings 1 and 2 ("The Twin Towers") and WTC Building 7 will focus on the building construction, the materials used and all of the technical conditions that contributed to the outcome of the WTC disaster.

NIST already has completed much of the planning work for the investigation and has consulted extensively with the public concerning its scope. Recent passage of an emergency supplemental appropriations bill now enables NIST to move ahead with the study.



NIST expects to complete its investigation and issue a final report within an estimated 24 months from the start of the program.

So in Aug. 2002 the NIST was allocated $16 million and 24 months to figure out why WTC1, WTC2, and WTC7 collapsed. The 9/11 Commission was originally allocated only a $3 million budget, which was later increased to $15 million.

So after 5 years and at least $31 million dollars spent, there is still no final report from the NIST on why WTC7 collapsed.

Why is the NIST 2 1/2 years behind schedule trying to explain the collapse of WTC7?

Could it be because they can't get any credible scientists or engineers to go on record stating the the physics of the WTC7 collapse is consistent with the known damage to the building? Is this why CDI is being called in now to parrot the "official" story?

So you think that NIST has nothing to do with 9/11, they just gather the reports of damages and when they got to WTC7, the report that they might would give would raise alot of questions in the Conspiracy prospect of 9/11?

I think that they are having a really hard time coming up with a feasible explanation why WTC7 collapsed the way it did, and they're having an even harder time trying to find "experts" who will agree with them.

Off topic a bit,but Arod makes more in 2 years than the government spent on the 9/11 investigation?That says alot about the average Joes priority list.No wonder we get no answers.

What's really interesting about this is the Bush's former team, the Texas Rangers, still pay A-Rod about $8 million a year NOT to play for them. Yes, I'd say the Average Joe's priority's are a little messed up.
