BBC Preview of WTC7 Report by NIST Hints at More of the Same

With no steel from Tower 7 to study, investigators have instead made four extremely complex computer models worked out to the finest detail. They're confident their approach can now provide the answers. Dr Sunder says the investigation is moving as fast as possible.

Gosh I guess the metal referred to in Appendix C of the FEMA report wasn't provided to NIST.  Were YOU also set up to fail, Dr. Sunder?

No doubt there will be many who will boldly proclaim that now "all has been explained" and that truthers just can't accept being proven wrong.  Of course this is to be expected as the real perps become more and more desperate.  We must be ready to answer those people when we encounter them online and in the streets.

What should be made clear to people is that yet again, NIST will have resorted to creating computer simulations in order to "prove" what they otherwise can't.  As everyone by now knows, NIST's account of the twin towers' destruction also relies on a computer model, one that nonetheless only works up to "collapse initiation" after which we are simply instructed to accept on faith that the ensuing collapse would happen exactly as observed without the need for explosives.

In the case of WTC7 we are being warned that the required computer models are extremely complex (i.e. "if you force us to show you the models, which we were unwilling to do for the towers, you will not be able to make heads or tails out of it")  Presumably the extraordinary complexity is required because of the absence of a plausible triggering event like the plane crashes in the case of the towers which enabled NIST to create a simulation which could be provided with varyingly severe scenarios as regards the number of columns theoretically severed, the spread of the fire, and the amount of fireproofing that "must" have been torn away from the columns by the impact of the airplanes (as demonstrated by their ultra-scientific firing of shotgun rounds at non-representative samples of fireproofed steel.

The report on WTC7 will no doubt resemble the report on the towers in sevreal ways other than the reliance on computer simulations.  We will no doubt be told that the total collapse of the building was due to a remarkably catatstrophic chain reaction, a la Rube Goldberg, that appears to have begun with the failure of the sturcture holding up the penthouse, coincidentally enough located in the center of the building thereby resulting in the eerie (and fortunate) resemblance to a controlled implosion.  All reports of explosions and damage in the building before the collapse of the twin towers will be ignored by necessity as they will needlessly distract from the appearance of comprehensiveness of the new explanation.

While the report will no doubt not claim to be conclusive, it will be parsed such that those willing to call it "a conclusive explanation" will find many willing to believe.  Look for words and phrases like "may have","apparently", "seem to indicate", "likely", etc.  This will also be in keeping with the report on the towers which NIST has had to admit is not a complete explanation despite not correcting those who treated as such in the media and government.

Needless to say there will be renewed cries from the fake truth factions that their claims about demolition being a red herring have been born out--some will simply bemoan how we have been outflanked by a report that while untrue will be nearly impossible to refute, like the "magic bullet theory", while others will claim that the report doesn't just appear to be but is in fact a plausible explanation.

Ostensible skeptics and/or debunkers will begin to display false confidence--word has gone out to all volunteer cover-up artists to use this new report to try to discourage and demoralize truthers and to make sure that anyone they try to talk to is made aware of it and how it represents "the last nail in the conspiracy theorists' coffin."  Do NOT be discouraged!  It is imperative that we gird ourselves for this last ditch effort and respond consistently and confidently not just with the reasons why this new report if flawed but with a simple and solid recapping of all of the other problems with the official story, lest anyone believe the false claim that WTC7 was "the truthers' last chance" or some such.
