"A team of scientists and engineers at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that is investigating the collapse of New York City's World Trade Center 7 (WTC 7) building expects to release its draft report for public comment by the end of the year. WTC 7 was a 47-story office building adjacent to the WTC towers (WTC 1 and 2) that collapsed following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. WTC 7 collapsed later that afternoon.
NIST's investigation of WTC 7 includes an extremely complex analysis that incorporates detailed information about the building's structure and construction, as well as data about fires, damage sustained from falling WTC 1 debris and other technical factors to determine its probable collapse sequence.
[...]
This hypothesis may be supported or modified, or new hypotheses may be developed, through the course of the continuing investigation. NIST also is considering whether hypothetical blast events could have played a role in initiating the collapse. While NIST has found no evidence of a blast or controlled demolition event, NIST would like to determine the magnitude of hypothetical blast scenarios that could have led to the structural failure of one or more critical elements.
Updated information with the specific date for the public release of the NIST team's draft report will be posted on the WTC investigation Web site, http://wtc.nist.gov. -----
WALLACE: Nine-eleven. No one questions your courage or your leadership in the days after 9/11, but one question has come up that I'm very curious about.
You put the emergency response command center in the World Trade Center in 1997, even though your director of emergency management suggested — recommended that you not put it there because it had been a target in 1993. Why'd you do that?
GIULIANI: My director of emergency management recommended 7 World Trade Center, and that was...
WALLACE: I have got a copy right here of Jerry Hauer's directive to you. And there were meetings in which Jerry Hauer said that it's a bad idea. And the police chief, Howard Safir, said it was a bad idea.
GIULIANI: Jerry Hauer recommended that as the prime site and the site that would make the most sense, and he recommended it because...
WALLACE: Then why did he say the building — he said it's not — the place in Brooklyn is not as visible a target as buildings in Lower Manhattan.
GIULIANI: He recommended that site as the site that would be the best site. It was largely on his recommendation that that site was selected.
And the reason that that site made sense was it was also the location of the customs service, the Secret Service and a number of the federal agencies, some of which I'm not even sure I can mention at this date, that we had to be in contact with.
And we also had backup centers at the police department. In Brooklyn, we had another backup center, and we had a virtual command center. So when that command center was inoperable, within a half hour of September 11 we were able to move — or within a half hour on September 11 we were able to move immediately to another command center.
So the way you're interpreting it, it was as if that was the one fixed command center. It was not. There were backup command centers, and it was a virtual command center, and it was selected because that's where all the federal agencies were that we would have to be in contact with, including some that would give you the intelligence that you needed during an attack.
Sen. John Kerry (D-The Tomb) was recently asked about the controlled demolition of World Trade Center building 7. Bonesman Kerry gave a rambling disjointed answer, as is his wont, finally remarking that "the wall" was unstable and had to be taken down in a "controlled manner."
Kerry seemed to be confusing WTC7, which WTC leaseholder Larry Silverstein said was "pulled" on a PBS special called Rebuilding America. That program also discussed the "pulling" of the WTC6 building a few days after 9/11. WTC6 was little more than four walls after the destruction wrought on 9/11, the bulk of the building's center having been "disappeared" by what appears to be a directed-energy beam weapon deployed from above.
Rosie O'Donnell seems curious about the 9/11 anomalies pointing toward the use of exotic classified weaponry. Excerpted from "ask ro" at/and rosie.com April 5-8, 2007:
"THURSDAY(video transcription):
Q: [Have you] seen the Requests For Correction filed agianst the NIST study?
RO: yesss... listen, that's a complicated issue folks -- make no mistake.

the biggest 9/11 question i have: why don’t most of the experts address the fact that in both towers, the "core" of steel was virtually obliterated. if the floors fell around the core, where it go?
RO: wtc 7 had a steel core as well disappeared into dust
Did a stray directed-energy beam hit WTC building 7? The evidence below suggests so. This could explain why WTC7 was not pulled under the cover of the destruction of the North Tower at 9:30am.
"The thing that makes it especially interesting is that there has been talk of a '20 storey gash' down the south side of WTC7 for years but only two recorded eyewitnesses and no photos. One of them was Captain Chris Boyle
Boyle: ...on the north and east side of 7 it didn’t look like there was any damage at all, but then you looked on the south side of 7 there had to be a hole 20 stories tall in the building, with fire on several floors. Debris was falling down on the building and it didn’t look good.
Firehouse: When you looked at the south side, how close were you to the base of that side?
Boyle: I was standing right next to the building, probably right next to it.
Firehouse: When you had fire on the 20 floors, was it in one window or many?
Boyle: There was a huge gaping hole and it was scattered throughout there. It was a huge hole. I would say it was probably about a third of it, right in the middle of it.
As I see it, there have to be more photos somewhere although the smoke does obscure it. The smoke may very well have been a disguise. No. there is no question that NIST did not publish this photo for a reason. They must have known about it.
[...]
1) Does this look like a real hole rather than a shadow? YES
2) Is it consistent with the eyewitness reports of a 20 storey hole? YES
3) is it consistent with NIST's description? YES
4) Could it be debris damage from WTC1? NO
5) Could it be caused by an explosive blast from within? POSSIBLY
6) Are there other photos or videos that show this or anything similar NO -----
Dr. Judy Wood, late of Clemson University, has filed a supplement to her Request for Correction to NIST regarding the federal agency's fraudulent report on the Wrold Trade Center.
Dr. Wood notes that much of NIST's analysis was provided by a firm called Applied Research Associates, a firm engaged in the directed-energy business.
"Your Request for Correction (RFC) now pending with the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) was supplemented with an additional filing with NIST on or about March 29, 2007. I assume that supplement will be posted on your website, along with this memorandum. You filed the supplement in order to call attention to an undisclosed apparent conflict of interest that has a direct bearing upon your assertions that Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) were a causal factor in the destruction of the World Trade Center (WTC) on 11 September 2001.
You have discovered that Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) is not only a major NIST contractor in the clean-up of the WTC site, post 9/11/01, as well as a major contractor for NIST in the preparation of the NCSTAR 1 report series, that your RFCs pertain to, there's more.
ARA is also at the very epicenter of the development of Directed Energy Weapons. DEW may be the very core of ARA’s business, with all other business matters being of secondary importance to ARA.
That information was not disclosed to the public by NIST to our knowledge.
One example serving to illustrate the centrality of ARA to the development of Directed Energy Weapons is the following statement from ARA's website:
"Directed Energy Award: ARA was recently recognized at a directed energy symposium in Washington, D.C. as a Founding Sponsor of the Directed Energy Professional Society (DEPS). DEPS was founded in 1999 to foster research and development of directed energy technology for national defense and civil applications through professional communication and education."
The organization that ARA is a founding member of: Directed Energy Professional Society (DEPS) appears to be a major hub of the Military-Industrial-Complex. See: http://www.deps.org/index.html
The sponsors of DEPS are listed here and they listed here and they include, in all probability, the main manufacturers, researchers and developers of Directed Energy Weapons: http://www.deps.org/DEPSpages/sponsors.html
ABC's The View has about 3 or4 million viewers each day. Rosie O'Donnell broke open the issues of false-flag terrorism and World Trade Center 7 on the March 29 edition:
Props to Jason Bermas of Louder Than Words for rescuing this clip from the memory hole. It's BBC reporting the "collapse" (demolition) of WTC 7 23 minutes before it happened -- while it cleary sands smoking in the background.
