Ok Ultima... you win. We should just listen to lead envelope licker at the NSA for all that we need to know.
Why listen to hundreds of the leading scientist and engineers etc??

ThroatYogurt, it doesn't say specifically what happened to each building's debris. It just says that all the debris from the buildings was shipped to 4 sites and that they went through these sites looking for stuff to save.
Because NIST recovered no steel from WTC 7, it is not possible to make any statements about its quality. The recommended values for the stress-strain behavior were estimated using the same methodology that was used for the WTC 1 and WTC 2 steels (NIST NCSTAR 1-3D). The static yield strengths were estimated from historical averages and corrected for testing rate effects.
Because, prior to collapse, WTC 7 did not suffer any high-strain rate events, NIST made no effort to estimate high-strain-rate or impact properties of the steel.
No metallography could be carried out because no steel was recovered from WTC 7.
I am an engineer, it seems I leaned enough at college to understand fire fighting and steel, and fire. I can read and by using knowledge and sound judgment make conclusions on 9/11 that are rational based on evidence.

Where did you get your fire fighter training?
Where did you get your structural engineering degree from?
I guess you did not read the NIST report that states they failed to recover any steel for testing?

I cheated and read extensively on other fires and found that high rise offices have come close to failing and falling, but the fires were fought and the water sprinklers worked.

But to me this would be even more reason for Mr. Ashcroft to send the FBI to sit on all of it... why throw something out if you don't know what it is?

You must have also missed the several steel buidlings i have posted that had longer lasting fires and as much or more structural damage then the WTC buildings and DID NOT collapse.

What size airliners flew into those builds?

The steel buildings i showed had as much or more structual damage as the WTC buidlings and had longer lasting fires. Oh, and they DID NOT collapse.

What was the structural damage to those buildings then?
Was the 75 fire fought? WTC7 was not fought and WTC7 had a lot of damage to help the fire propagate. I heard from an eyewitness who saw WTC7 on 9/11 up close and he said it was a raging fire and the building was leaning. Apples and oranges. Do you need help understanding fire like 44 percent of the people who lack knowledge on fires, steel, and firefighting. This is the reason 44 percent of the people are wrong, it is ignorance of fire issues.

I guess you missed the 1975 fire in the North tower that burned for 3 hours and caused no damage to the steel. This was before sprinklers and fire proofing was installed.

Well if you would have read the information and looked at the photos i posted you would know the structural damage was casued by long lasting fires.
Originally posted by gavron
So your only basis for it having more damage is your picture?
I guess you agree then with the official reports.

Only NIST stated it was a combination.
