investigation get one? "Important professionals" is just a subjective term; you need a body of evidence sufficient to either refute factually and overwhelmingly the evidence, facts, and conclusions of the existing investigations.
Which you do not have to support the OS.
We should have already seen scores of peer-reviewed scientific papers that convince those professionals who accept the evidence, methodology, and conclusions of the FEMA, NIST, and ASCE investigations. But we don't.

Your NIST has been proven a fraud by experts in A&E.

Our government does not want the WTC debris examine, not the dust, or the steel. No one on planet earth besides Pro Steven Jones has done such a test and Jones has found chemical compounds that should not been in the WTC dust.
These chemicals are ingredients of bomb making materials used in our military it is already proven these ingredients are in different applications of making highly explosive weapons.
I have asked frequently here how that "new" investigation will ever come to fruition without answer. How do you think you'll ever be able to get a new investigation? You should get a grasp on the magnitude and substance of just what's missing from these feeble attempts to attract attention.
What we see is groups like Architects and Engineers resort to posting a dishonest account of the fires in WTC 2 (see: www.abovetopsecret.com...) as a fund raising event, and resort to pleading for anybody to sign a petition.
That does not prove anything, you have a problem with organizations raising money? Just because they raise money, it does not discredit them.
Do you have a scientific report to refute A&E? No, I didn’t think so.
I have not seen any such report put out, besides NIST and Jones report.
We had most of a thread about it starting here:
www.abovetopsecret.com...
And what was the outcome to this thread? Nothing you were not able to prove anything.

Yes how do you figure?
Everything that happens inside that building is based on assumptions. Because there was no one there to observe it.
The simulations are based on information from their investigation. But the simulations dont even come close to resemble the actual event.
EDIT to add. If you delivered the NIST report to a science teacher as a final exam. I really wonder if you would pass at all.

Seismic waves travel through the ground. Their arrival time depends on the distance and geology between the source and the detector. The geology affects the velocity and attenuation.

So, let me get this straight. If, by your reasoning, "no one was there to observe" the internal collapse, then how can you claim you know something doesn't "...even come close to resemble the actual event." Explain that logic for us.

Well i have read the NIST report on WTC7, and the report even say so.
They couldn't make a proper investigation do to lack of proper information gathering before and after the collapse. Do to the area was sealed of and to dangerous to enter,to do such a investigation. A proper investigation of WTC would have taken months. But they found it sufficient enough to make a report based on expertise and witnesses collaboration.
Do you know why i do this. Its because i can see with my own eyes that they have failed to complete and explain the easiest observational factor of them all: The Free Fall Speed of WTC7.
If you look at the figure that explains the fall speed of WTC7 you will notice that in section two they have the building free falling in 2.25 seconds. Do you care to explain that please? NB.NIST has admitted that WTC7 free fell for at least 2.25 seconds.
Edit to add:
And when you have done that. You can explain the Vertical collapse and the Horizontal expansion between floor 7 - 13 and 5 -7 that must take place for the building to fall intact with this speed.

First. If you cant find the information i am talking about. Your just a waste of time. Because than you haven't read or understood the NIST report.
There is a lot of information in the NIST report that you can use to give me at least.
The analyses of the video (both the estimation of the instant the roofline began to descend and the calculated velocity and acceleration of a point on the roofline) revealed three distinct stages characterizing the 5.4 seconds of collapse:
* Stage 1 (0 to 1.75 seconds): acceleration less than that of gravity (i.e., slower than free fall).
* Stage 2 (1.75 to 4.0 seconds): gravitational acceleration (free fall)
* Stage 3 (4.0 to 5.4 seconds): decreased acceleration, again less than that of gravity
This analysis showed that the 40 percent longer descent time—compared to the 3.9 second free fall time—was due primarily to Stage 1, which corresponded to the buckling of the exterior columns in the lower stories of the north face. During Stage 2, the north face descended essentially in free fall, indicating negligible support from the structure below. This is consistent with the structural analysis model which showed the exterior columns buckling and losing their capacity to support the loads from the structure above. In Stage 3, the acceleration decreased as the upper portion of the north face encountered increased resistance from the collapsed structure and the debris pile below.

No it doesn't say in the report that the simulations are far from the actual event.
But if you look at them you will see that they dont resemble the actual event. Don't tell me you would rather believe the simulations than the actual event?
By looking at the figure you should see that it is not right. At stage 3 the building is free falling again (second time). But in stead they show the fall as reducing. with the black line showing a slope after 5 seconds. But what about the 2 dots above the 5 second mark?

So if Building 7 didnt take 14 seconds to collapse, then why exactly is the seismic signal lasting for 18 seconds? Especially since the signal itself is more indicative to a progressive collapse than any magic silent explosions?
Seems to me the building was internally collapsing for nearly 18 seconds, right up to where we FINALLY see the exterior shell fall apart.
I haven't looked at this yet. I am going to do that right now. This should be able to say something about the fall. Good point.

I accept your retraction.

You are contradicting yourself again. You cannot claim there is an "actual event" that you know about and, at the same time. claim there is no "actual event" because no one witnessed it.

No, that's not what it shows.
You need to resolve your contradictions.

In the FEMA report it can be found here:
www.fema.gov...
Its on page 23 of the actual PDF towards the bottom of the page.
And just to clarify, one cannot argue that this long of a seismic signal is the result of demo charges going off. Why? Because hearing democharges going off for 18-30 seconds prior to collapse (the global collapse we see at the end) would have been VERY obvious. But no one mentions anything doing that until the building is already falling over. Demo charges cannot be masked or silent. And if the seismic data is showing collapse for 18 seconds, then that means the building was failing internally for a majority of that time, without us seeing it until the very end. Plus no one heard any detonations during that time.
