Have a good look at the text in this screenshot from the Nist report :
www.studyof911.com...
I do agree that when you subtract 9 seconds for WTC 2, resp. 11 seconds for WTC 1 , from the LDEO revisioned collapse times (Table 3-1, column 5),
needed by the first debris to hit the ground, you end up within the error margins set by NIST for televised events (Table 3-1, column 3).
This is advertised by NIST as 2 top down collapses.
However, this does not match at all for the WTC 7 collapse.
This is advertised by NIST as a bottom first collapse.
So the first heavy internal debris should have hit the ground within 2 seconds.
That needs to be first said, to be clear about all the NIST confusion methods.
And if you do what NIST proposes for all 3 collapses, and subtract 6.8 seconds WTC 7 debris fall time from the 2006 revised total collapse time for
WTC 7 by LDEO of 5:20:42 a.m. (a real sloppy typo for a 24 million $ report, must be p.m.!!!), you end up at 5:20:35:02 p.m., which is certainly not
within NIST's own error margins for televised events.
It is nearly exactly 17 seconds earlier as 5:20:52 , the NIST declared exact time for the collapse start of WTC 7, derived from numerous video clips
from television broadcasts, which were time clocked by NIST's own atomic clocks.
Now that's a well known number by now, it is the same amount as the 17 seconds delay time for signals travelling from New York to LDEO.
That means however, that NIST is caught up in its own trap, since they declared 5:20:52 as ACTUAL New York event time, namely the visual start of WTC
7's collapse, and we know by now that the seismic signals connected to this event, need 17 seconds to travel to LDEO.
And thus arrive at 5:21:09 !
What is all the energy then depicted in the LDEO WTC 7 seismic chart, preceding the 21:09 position ?
Enough energy to be more than, or equal the seismic energy depicted in each of the 2 plane impacts charts of WTC 1 and 2.
SO, am I wrong or is NIST, or LDEO wrong, or straight out fixing data to let these confirm to the official collapse theory.?
LDEO did revise in 2006 the event start times for the 2 plane impacts and the 2 first collapses, which they took in 2001 from the FEMA report, upping
them to 3 seconds later for all 5 events.
They were taken from the FEMA report's event start times, printed above the 5 graphs. (See NIST table 3-1)
LDEO stated in the 2001 report by dr. Kim, that all these 5 graphs were recorded with a 17 sec delay compared to actual New York event times :
www.ldeo.columbia.edu...
QUOTE
Origin times with an uncertainty of 2 s were calculated from the arrival times of Rg waves at PAL using a velocity of 2 km/s. --snip-- subscript under
Figure 1. --snip-- distance 34 km --snip-- Displacement amplitude spectra in nm-s from main impacts and collapses shown at right. Sampling is done for
14-second time windows starting about 17 s after origin time.
However, the LDEO WTC 7 collapse start time was revised to 9 seconds later, in 2006, from the original FEMA time of 5:20:33 p.m., upped to a later
time of 5:20:42 p.m., and still did not come close to the actual NIST declared event start time of 5:20:52 p.m. It comes 10 seconds short.
One thing is obvious by now.
The 2006 NIST WTC 7 initial collapse actual time, does not compare to the 2006 LDEO WTC 7 initial collapse revised actual time.
I wait now for your constructive input, pro or contra.

Here is my own first constructive input :
www.angelfire.com...
This website criticizes the NIST reports.
It's advisable for many researchers to read the whole page, not just my quotes of it.
Highly interesting for my last remark "intelligency test, find NCSTAR 1-6G" in one of the above posts is this excerpt :
QUOTE
NIST reports vanish
On its website, the NIST says that the main WTC7 report has been deferred until October 2005.
It is unclear whether the postponed report is the one titled 'Structural analysis of the response of World Trade Center 7 to debris damage and fire'
which is cited in prefatory material to various NCSTAR reports but is nowhere to be found on the NIST website. The NIST awarded Ramon Gilsanz and his
New York engineering firm a contract to do computer simulations of the WTC7 collapse. Omitted from the NIST website is NCSTAR 1-6F, the report by
Gilsanz and nine others.
Also omitted was NCSTAR 1-6G: "Analysis of Sept. 11, 2001 seismogram data" by W. Kim.
Won-Young Kim of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory has done previous analysis of 9/11 seismographic data.
No explanation is given for the seismic report's deletion, though it likely contains information concerning WTC7's collapse.
One can constantly observe NIST deceleration methods for a solid explanation of WTC 7's global collapse sequence, methods aimed at trying to fit
undeniable facts into a deniable official theory.
That 2006 NCSTAR 1-6G report from dr. Kim is indeed not present anymore at the index page of NIST NCSTAR 1-6 :
wtc.nist.gov...
Only 1-6A to D. The rest of the earlier mentioned sub-reports are absent.
And this is another highly interesting remark on NIST's WTC 7 still trailing Final report :
QUOTE
THE THIRD COLLAPSE
At 5:20 p.m., some seven hours after WTC1 fell, the 47-story WTC7 collapsed almost straight down, meaning collapse must have begun on a lower
floor.
The NIST's principal analysis of that collapse has been 'decoupled' from twin towers analysis and postponed; the agency says staff workload
necessitated the separation.
In a March 2005 Popular Mechanics article titled, '9/11: debunking the myths,' lead investigator Sunder is quoted as saying that new evidence
indicates that WTC7 showed severe structural damage following the tower collapses and that this weakening, abetted by a longterm fire, was the
agency's working hypothesis.
Some 10 lower stories, or about 25 percent of the building vertically, was 'scooped out,' he is reported to have said. (A Federal Emergency
Management Agency, or FEMA, report also cited such damage, but did not view it as compelling.)
Yet NCSTAR 1-3, p114, says that NIST made no effort to check high-strain or impact properties of the type of steel used in WTC7 because 'WTC7 did not
suffer any high strain rate events.'
Sunder said that an oddball design implied that failure of even one column on a lower floor might trigger collapse and suggested that a fuel-oil-fed
fire contributed critical weakening.
However, NCSTAR 1-1J, found that the standard safeguards for the building's several fuel oil systems would likely have blocked a longterm
fuel-oil-fed fire, an idea first mentioned by sceptical FEMA probers.
The most likely source of the leaking fuel oil would have been the Salomon Brothers system, NCSTAR 1-1J says, with probers citing two possibilities: a
fuel spill from a 250-gallon 'day tank' on the fifth floor or fuel continually pumped up from an underground tank. But they suggest failsafes should
have worked.
FEMA probers have said 250 gallons couldn't yield enough heat to inflict critical damage.
The NIST's contracted probers, Raymond A. Grill and Duane A. Johnson, say it is barely conceivable that an electrical malfunction caused pumps to
keep bringing up fuel from a 6,000-gallon tank buried underground. But they are puzzled as to the source of the electricity. Power to the building
would have been shut off the morning of Sept. 11, though the building's emergency generators were powered by fuel oil.
The electrical schematics for the fuel system are missing, along with building maintenance records that might have yielded clues to the electrical
system. Grill and Johnson succeeded in finding much other WTC7 documentation, however.
In the May 2002 FEMA report, investigators wrote: 'Although the total diesel fuel on the premises contained massive potential energy, the best
hypothesis' for fire-fed building collapse 'has only a low probability of occurrence.' They demanded further inquiry as to how key supports could
have given way.
In addition, the fuel oil had to pool in a mechanical room where possibly a truss was not fire sheathed, they said.
In general, however, the FEMA report is not nearly so pointed. That report was edited by Theresa P. McAllister, who handled much of NIST's collapse
analysis. She coauthored a lengthy report, NCSTAR 1-6, on the collapse scenarios that makes no mention of "soffit".
It has been reported that Larry A. Silverstein, the real estate man who ran the trade center, was quoted in a PBS report as saying that he gave the
go-ahead to the 'er-Fire Department' to 'pull' the building. A search of the PBS site for the interview proved fruitless, but Silverstein has put
out a statement saying the FEMA report determined that fire was responsible for WTC7's collapse.
There is no record of steel-frame buildings over 10 stories high collapsing as a result of fire, probers say. The FEMA enquiry points out that in the
1990s the British Steel and Building Research Establishment fire-tested an eight-story steel structure, leaving secondary beams unsheathed by
fireproofing. The building remained upright at the end of all six experiments.
The public comment period for the twin towers draft report ended Aug. 4, 2005, with the final version issued in September 2005.
During the public comment phase of the twin towers report, the NIST web site did not make clear that the principal WTC7 report had been omitted. Since
then, the NIST has posted a sketchy document dated April 2005 that has a series of photos and a limited discussion with little supporting data. It
contains a large disclaimer saying the agency had found no evidence of destruction by controlled demolition, missiles or bombs, but does not
substantiate that assertion. [See 'NIST reports vanish' below]
Even so, the NIST has issued a set of findings and recommendations for building safety improvements without bringing in WTC7 data.
NIST supports the initial collapse starting at a lower floor, thus heavy debris from that floor would have impacted the ground level first, no more
then 2 sec into the global collapse sequence.

I really expected a tad bit more interest in the subject there, which in my opinion, is the first true smoking gun laying on the doorstep of the 16
million dollar NIST report. NIST will not be able to counter my accusations, as far as I can see.
If they try, their only possible way out will be to suddenly say, that the 2 impact and 2 collapse LDEO Palisades seismic station graphs were depicted
with the 17 sec signal travel time delay included, and that the LDEO WTC 7 seismic chart was depicted in NIST New York real EDT events time ,
excluding the 17 seconds delay.
This will however for sure trigger a vicious reaction from LDEO and dr. Kim, since in that case dr. Kim's scientific reputation will be at risk,
including the scientific credibility of LDEO and all its academic personnel.
No academic will ever use 2 different standards in a list of 5 charts in one report, without explicitly mentioning it.
Which dr. Kim for sure did not. He definitely stated that the seismic signals travelled the 34 km to Palisades station with an upper crust traversing
speed of 2 km/sec., thus arriving 17 sec after each New York 9/11 seismic signal triggering event.
A few extra notes to consider :
1. Dr. Kim's 2006 latest 9/11 seismic report written under contract with NIST has not been published by NIST.
2. NIST declared as its main contract goal, to come to conclusions which would facilitate preventing high rise collapses in the future.
Regarding their efforts and the disappointing outcome, please read this academic report from the Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering :
www.civag.unimelb.edu.au...
Title : 9/11: Five Years on - Changes in Tall Building Design?
This is obvious by now, the real goal of the NIST reports was to enormously muddy the waters, so the average citizen would be drowned in facts, and
wouldn't be able to spot the small and big lies hidden within these massive reports.
3. If we rigorously follow NIST's own latest exact-timing rules, the whole LDEO-NIST picture becomes even more disturbing, see my remarks in post # 9
to 12 .
4. It really is the combined and compact might of the prime and secondary global banks which is the enemy within all governments. These men and woman
at top echelon bank seats rule the world and are in effect the real paymasters of the second layer echelons, not governments.
Not the generals, not the corporate CEO's, not the politicians, not their bureaucrats, as you all seem to think.

I have the impression that an even more in depth explanation is still needed, even for academically schooled readers, since the behaviour of NIST
researchers needs to be addressed more by forensic deduction methods than scientific methods.
How NIST "falls in it's own sword" :
Look at my post # 5, (NIST 2003 to 2005 Draft report) Nicolas Cianca photo, with included 5:20:46 time stamp by NIST, with a 1 sec accuracy stated by
NIST above Table 3-1, which gives a NIST margin range between 5:20:45 and 5:20:47.
Add 5 seconds (NIST 2006 Final report) revised time, which results in a (NIST 2006 Final report) actual time for that photo time stamp of 5:20:51 ,
with a 1 sec accuracy stated by NIST above Table 3-1, which gives a NIST margin range between 5:20:50 and 5:20:52.
Then go to my post # 11 and see NIST Table 3-1 (in NIST report chapter 3.5), and read carefully their own explanatory 5 text lines above Table 3-1.
It's crystal clear written by NIST, that "building collapse times are defined to be when the entire building was first observed to start to
collapse". They even implicitly mention "in the case of WTC 7, a penthouse on the roof sank into the building before the main collapse started".
So ask yourself, and NIST, why they definitely still used in Table 3-1 column 2, the (start of the east penthouse roof denting) Nicolas Cianca photo
time stamp, with their own (maximum) 1 second accuracy margin (unscientifically inaccurate) added, as their "Relative Time from Visual Analysis" for
the start time of WTC 7's entire building collapse, and printed a time of 5:20:47 p.m. in column 2.
Apply the undeniable former (Draft reports) and latest (Final reports) explanations by NIST to this penthouse roof dent event and implement the 8.2
sec delay after sinking of the east penthouse roof to arrive at the official start of global collapse, so meticulously explained by NIST in their
"Failure Sequence Timeline", pictured in post # 10.
Those extra 8.2 seconds observed in the 2003-2005 NIST Draft report are of course still applicable for the NIST Final 2006 report.
Also implement the (2006 Final reports) revised extra 5 seconds on top of all WTC 7 real time events to arrive at the NIST 2006 Table 3-1 "Adjusted
Time from Television Broadcasts". (column 3)
That's 13.2 seconds undeniably needed to be added to the Cianca photograph time stamp (column 2), to arrive at a correct real time stamp of the main
WTC 7 collapse start (the time in column 3 by NIST is not correct), as noted in videos and photographs.
Thus, the NIST "Adjusted Time from Television Broadcasts" for the main collapse start of WTC 7 should read either 5:20:59.2 (based on Cianca photo
time stamp), or 5:21:00.2 (based on NIST Table 3-1, column 2 value), and definitely NOT 5:20:52, as now shown in Table 3-1, column 3.
And then you still must add the 17 seconds delay, to indicate the arrival at LDEO of the seismic signal connected to that main collapse start of WTC
7, which is thus the 5:21:17.2 p.m.(17:21:17.2) point, nearly the end of the WTC 7 seismic chart by LDEO.
Conclusion:
1. NIST time lines calculations can not be trusted.
or, worse,
2. NIST kept re-writing their own data, when it didn't fit with other (LDEO) external research data.
The chance is not zero, that NIST did not realize the 17 second delay time in dr. Kim's charts, and thus seem to have worked to a timeline for WTC 7,
which concurred with New York real time stamps attached to seismic signal arrivals in the WTC 7 LDEO chart.
But that chart was written by the seismograph, in LDEO signal arrival real time, as stated by dr. Kim.
That means 17 seconds later as the originating signals in New York.
The fact that they omitted the latest 2006 seismic 9/11 report from LDEO's dr. Kim, contracted by NIST them selfs to write it, from their own final
report, list of sub-reports, is really worrying and needs a thorough explanation by NIST.
NOTE :
Even when we assume that LDEO's fifth seismic 9/11 graph of the collapse of WTC 7 is suddenly expressed in New York real time instead of LDEO real
signal arriving time (as the first four definitely are, see post # 5), thus not including 17 seconds delay, it then still depicts signals of greatest
magnitude written by the needle, before the now calculated and proved real time of the main collapse start, 5:21:00.2 p.m. (see drawing in post #
9)
However, the chance that dr. Kim will revise his 17 second delay time for one or all 5 original seismic charts is equal to zero in my opinion.

Regarding my own remarks in the last posts :

NIST published their latest evaluation report on WTC 7 on 12 December 2006 :
wtc.nist.gov...
Some points out of the Progress to Date pages, from pages 15 and 16 :
QUOTE
6/06 Completed evaluation of thermite as a possible heat source substance for review.
8/06 Awarded contract to ARA (with CDI and SGH as subcontractors) for analysis of hypothetical blast events and assistance with structural analysis of
initiating events.
8/06 Completed analysis of visual evidence: fire progress and building damage.
8/06 Completed analysis of seismic data.
10/06 Updated south face damage.
12/06 Developed hypothetical blast scenarios for analysis of overpressures.
They have completed the analysis of seismic data, so why did NIST remove, or not included, Dr. Kim's 2006 latest 9/11 seismic report?
Is it to stop us outsiders, to evaluate the contents of that seismic report?
So we can't have the time to directly attack the Final WTC 7 report from NIST on this specific point, when they publicize it.
The US media propaganda machinery in place, knows very well that they have succeeded in brainwashing most of the American public to pay attention to
news for no more than a week. Then they flood them with other "important" news, and intent to bury that report into oblivion.
We'll see if they succeed.
