<\/div>\nMonumental University Study Finds \u201cFire DID NOT Bring Down Tower 7 on 9\/11\u201d<\/h1>\n
<\/i>Matt Agorist<\/a><\/span> On September 11, 2001, at 5:20 p.m., World Trade Center Building 7 suddenly collapsed into its own footprint, falling at free fall speed for 2.5 seconds of its seven-second complete destruction. WTC 7 was not hit by a plane. After it collapsed, Americans were told that office fires caused a unique \u2014 never before seen \u2014 complete architectural failure leading to the building collapsing into its own footprint at the rate of gravity.<\/p>\n Despite calls for the evidence to be preserved, New York City officials had the building\u2019s debris removed and destroyed in the ensuing weeks and months, preventing a proper forensic investigation from ever taking place. Seven years later, federal investigators concluded that WTC 7 was the first steel-framed high-rise ever to have collapsed solely as a result of normal office fires.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Naturally, skeptics have been questioning the official story for some time and after moving from the realm of conspiracy theory into the realm of science, an extensive university study has found that the official story of fire causing the collapse is simply not true.<\/p>\n This week, Architects & Engineers for 9\/11 Truth announced their partnership with the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) in\u00a0releasing a draft report<\/a>\u00a0of an in depth four-year study on what actually brought down WTC 7. According to the press release, the release of the draft report begins a two-month period during which the public is invited to submit comments. The final report will be published later this year.<\/p>\n According to the study\u2019s authors:<\/p>\n \u00a0The UAF research team utilized three approaches for examining the structural response of WTC 7 to the conditions that may have occurred on September 11, 2001. First, we simulated After conducting comprehensive modeling and studying countless scenarios, the study\u2019s authors, J. Leroy Hulsey, Ph.D., P.E., S.E., UAF, Zhili Quan, Ph.D., Bridge Engineer South Carolina Department of Transportation, and Feng Xiao, Ph.D., Associate Professor Nanjing University of Science and Technology Department of Civil Engineering, concluded the following:<\/p>\n The results of this study cannot be dismissed. It completely destroys the narrative that has been shoved down the throats of Americans for nearly two decades. What\u2019s more, this study backs up thousands of other researchers, scientists, and engineers who have been pointing this out for years.<\/p>\n In fact, as TFTP reported in July, history was made in regard to 9\/11 as New York area fire commissioners called for a new investigation into the tragic events that unfolded that day. The resolution called for a new investigation due to the\u00a0\u201coverwhelming evidence\u201d that \u201cpre-planted explosives . . . caused the destruction of the three World Trade Center buildings.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n On July 24, 2019, the\u00a0Franklin Square and Munson Fire District<\/a>, which oversees a volunteer fire department serving a hamlet of 30,000 residents just outside of Queens, New York, became the first legislative body in the country to officially support a new investigation into the events of 9\/11, according to\u00a0Architects and Engineers for 9\/11 Truth.<\/a><\/p>\n The resolution calling for a new investigation was drafted by Commissioner Christopher Gioia and it was immediately and unanimously approved by the five commissioners.<\/p>\n

\nthe local structural response to fire loading that may have occurred below Floor 13, where most of the fires in WTC 7 are reported to have occurred. Second, we supplemented our own
\nsimulation by examining the collapse initiation hypothesis developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Third, we simulated a number of scenarios within the overall structural system in order to determine what types of local failures and their locations may have caused the total collapse to occur as observed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
Fire did not cause the collapse of WTC 7 on 9\/11, contrary to the conclusions of NIST and private engineering firms that studied the collapse. The secondary conclusion of our study is that the collapse of WTC 7 was a global failure involving the near-simultaneous failure of every column in the building.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re a tight-knit community and we never forget our fallen brothers and sisters. You better believe that when the entire fire service of New York State is on board, we will be an unstoppable force,\u201d said Commissioner Christopher Gioia, adding, \u201cWe were the first fire district to pass this resolution. We won\u2019t be the last.\u201d<\/h3>\n
