Heaven forbid a truther be wrong
In its July 2008 Draft Report for Public Comment, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initially claimed that Building 7 collapsed 40% slower than free fall acceleration.
Why would NIST want to say Building 7 did not experience free fall? NIST’s lead technical investigator, Shyam Sunder, stated in the WTC 7 technical briefing that free fall could only happen when an object “has no structural components below it.”[ii] The only way for a building to have no structural components below it is to remove the lower structural components with an external force such as explosives. If the upper part of a building is crushing its lower structural components, in other words, doing the work of removing them, not all of its energy will be converted into motion and its descent will not be free fall.
A high school physics teacher named David Chandler objected to NIST’s initial claim, pointing out that, based on video footage of Building 7’s destruction, NIST’s claim contradicted “a publicly visible, easily measurable quantity.”[iii] Mr. Chandler wrote a comment to NIST, saying, “Acknowledgement of and accounting for an extended period of free fall in the collapse of WTC 7 must be a priority if NIST is to be taken seriously.”[iv]
Responding to the criticism, NIST in its final report issued in November 2008 did finally acknowledge that Building 7 descended at free fall. According to NIST, “This free fall drop continued for approximately 8 stories, or 32.0 meters (105 ft), the distance traveled between times t = 1.75 s and t = 4.0 s [a period of 2.25 seconds].”[v] However, NIST did not attempt to explain how Building 7’s free fall descent could have occurred.

To all that you just posted I'd say no.
I'd say its the duty of an American citizen to want an investigation, into what you might ask? Go watch your video, all the coincidences.
To believe the official story? Now I'd say thats un-American.
You probably think the federal reserve is FEDERAL.
Lysergic and 2 others like this.
The official FEMA report states: "The collapse of WTC 7 had a small debris field as the facade was pulled downward, suggesting an internal failure and implosion...
Demolishing the building so that it collapses straight down into its own footprint requires such skill that only a handful of demolition companies in the world will attempt it."

This is the sort of stupidity some americans are known for. lol the truther movement is a sham and a insult to all amaericans as most do not side with you. Un american, you are the same as a terrorist spouting nonsense. Some of the people you choose to insult may be people who can do you harm in the real life. never know.
you are non american and are unpatriotic to your country. 9/11 is about the victims of this terrorist attack and the fact Muslims have claimed responsibility as well as a whole lot more. your federal reserve is a joke and it strips you people of all your assets under the guise of something else. How you liking Obama now.

The Truthers will never agree to reexamine their outlook. And that is ok. However, it shows a lack of insight. Iam dismayed that these truthers BAR A FEW have chosen to either rip into my religion (as I would not insult someones belief system) call me names and be outright sexist with some of their comments.
This is one thing that I can draw strength from as I means their points are crumbling.
To all truthers (stroytellers). YOU lot are the ones who want an investigation. YOU lot are questioning everything and coming up with story's so far removed from normality. YOU are the ones who wish to Challenge the OS and make changes to it and have someone admit to something.
So it is up to you when you come to a thread like this, to present your argument in a concise and literal way with rock solid proof to back it up.
So far evryone on here has rehashed parts or most of the old news. You keep asking me to prove it was doens by terrorists. MY proof is that the OS says it was. I need NO further proof as I am not seeking change to it. YOU are. So YOU NEED to be the ones with proof. YOU are not grown up enough to handle the truth no matter what it is. YOU lot (just the ones on this post) have a warped view of reality. Does everything in life have to be a conspiracy. Can we NOT move on and help to progress. This arguing is what will KEEP thos in power there so much longer as the split in civilian relationships is too great.

Most Americans already realize 911 was an inside job thanks to Patriots such as Alex Jones. So thankfully, all you haters of the truth are in the minority now.
Most of you attacking the 911 truth movement are actually collecting paychecks form the system though anyway.

and again, shills like to attribute their own type of behaviour to someone else. typical shill
technique. you guys should really practice some more.

well you better decide which side of the fence your on cause the OFFICIAL fema report says it fell onto it's own footprint so i guess your a truther now cause you don't believe the official story now...WOW

How can people "Move On" when the attack on the middle class -- and the continuous resource wars are still going on?
Whatever you think about 9/11 -- it ENABLED the Patriot Act, Domestic Spying, ending of international treaties against torture, Constitutional Protections and such.
