WTC 7 solved? Not so fast…
World Trade Center 7 mystery ‘solved’?
A new report by BBC 2’s “Conspiracy Files” claims that the US National Institute of Standards and Technology is preparing to release a long awaited report on the collapse of World Trade Center 7, which fell on Sept. 11, 2001, about seven hours after WTC 1 and 2 were downed.
The NIST investigators are widely expected to stake the claim that fires were responsible for causing the structure’s simultaneous column failure, bringing building 7 down at near free fall speed onto its footprint. Should the claims hold true, WTC 7 would be the first steel frame skyscraper to ever collapse due to fire damage.
The BBC, while focusing on the details of NIST’s upcoming report, goes to some lengths to balance its revelation with comments by Richard Gage, founder of the group Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
“Building Seven is the smoking gun of 9/11…” states Gage. “A sixth grader can look at this building falling at virtually freefall speed, symmetrically and smoothly, and see that it is not a natural process. Buildings that fall in natural processes fall to the path of least resistance, they don’t go straight down through themselves.”</em>
So, doesn’t look like this is going to be answered anytime soon.
