Stop messing around and get to the point of providing your definition of "collapsing on its foot print". It is a very important matter for you so let us examine what you mean.
Interesting that you're quite happy to make demands on others, but when someone asks you to source an assertion you've made - indeed an assertion that is central to your argument - you feel quite comfortable not bothering.
Face it, you've been caught out and you're trying not to look silly. It isn't really working.
The only thing that would convince me that this was an inside job by the government would be the finding of a document commisioning 8 planes to crash into buildings no later than January 1994, all coordinated by a computer system that costs 3.4 billion pounds and doesn't work.

This is an ongoing conversation about his definitions. You, however, are demanding explanations on 9/11 from an ordinary person who is not accountable to you.
You seem not distinguish between who is responsible for 9/11 and who is responsible for his own understanding of a term. You seem confused.
You think I have been caught out? Caught about what?

The bump on your head, you missing wallet, your kicked out teeth is never going to convince you! Riiiiigggghhht?edit on 14-5-2012 by MI5edtoDeath because: (no reason given)

But not quite as silly as the people who introduced a demolition expert who 'demolished' their own argument.
With opponents like you it's a wonder they need all those misinformation wonks. Or maybe...

No sense of proportion, huh?
There is most definitely an imbalance in that statement. It is silly and irrational.edit on 14-5-2012 by MI5edtoDeath because: (no reason given)

Maybe you didnt do to well on reading comprehension in grade school, "My reasons for thinking WTC7 was probably a controlled demolition"
So you have abrogated your right to question the government on 9/11.
Never mind how steel framed structures collapsed from fire for the first time in history....
.....have you not demanded to know why the US and around the WTC was lousy with mossad agents/furniture moving labourers (

Oops.
Comprehensive disaster investigations mean increased safety. They mean positive change. NASA knows it. The NTSB knows it. Does FEMA know it?
No. Fire Engineering has good reason to believe that the "official investigation" blessed by FEMA and run by the American Society of Civil Engineers is a half-baked farce that may already have been commandeered by political forces whose primary interests, to put it mildly, lie far afield of full disclosure. Except for the marginal benefit obtained from a three-day, visual walk-through of evidence sites conducted by ASCE investigation committee members-described by one close source as a "tourist trip"-no one's checking the evidence for anything.[url=http://]http://www.fireengineering.com/articles/print/volume-155/issue-1/departments/editors-opinion/elling-out-the-investigation.html[/ url]

Just curious, does that building collapse into its own footprint, according to your definition? (i already gave up on you posting a shred of evidence for your NIST is wrong claim).

Really? Well the NIST model did not have a skin and rigid cross members between between columns and floors. So what else was left out in model in your considered assessment?

The bottom line is that the NIST computer model that you herald with such authority bears no resemblance to the actual collapse of WTC 7.
Here is an example of rigid members in the form of bracings; where are they in the NIST models. A timber framed house must have rigid members so a multi-story building like WTC 7 must have multiple rigid members on every floor. Because of how the architect designed the fenestration, the rigid members would have been on stairwells and liftshafts. Merely pre-cutting rigid members in lift shafts would cause a sudden and catastrophic collapses if the foundations of the building was attacked, say with explosions to columns in the basement.

You claimed to have evidence that NIST's model of WTC7 was missing rigid frames that were present in the actual building, thus invalidating the model.

We are ready when you are, MI5. We eagerly await your evidence. When you get around to posting your evidence or argument, you should probably start a thread about it. There will be a lot of interest.

As for the Nist bracing issue, I will post a new thread on it when I am ready.

How weird. And I though it was me who was waiting for you to clarify that, as it was you who used the term, and me who asked what you meant by it. Well, I am not really waiting, as I know you will dodge that simple question forever, for obvious reasons.
But it is good to read that you finally decided to give some of those "irrelevant points" (as you call it) called evidence for your assertion that NIST forgot to model rigid members.
