In 2002, FEMA said that WTC 7 collapsed because of the diesel fed fire, now NIST says it did not

FEMA issued a report back in 2002 that said it was the diesel fed fire that caused the collapse, now the NIST is saying that fuel fed fires, like diesel, did NOT cause the collapse.

Which lie are they going to stick with? And why does this whole damned thing sound like a series of lies, made up by some eight year old kid, trying to make his Mommy to believe him and not her lying eyes?

A NATION CHALLENGED: GROUND ZERO; Burning Diesel Is Cited in Fall Of 3rd Tower

By JAMES GLANZ AND ERIC LIPTON
Published: March 2, 2002
Massive structural beams that functioned as a sort of bridge to hold up the 47-story skyscraper known as 7 World Trade Center were compromised in a disastrous blaze fed by diesel fuel, leading to the building's collapse on Sept. 11, investigators have concluded in a preliminary report.

The tower was set on fire by debris from the twin towers and burned for about seven hours before collapsing in the late afternoon under previously unexplained circumstances. The analysis of its collapse is one of the first detailed findings by a team of engineers organized by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the American Society of Civil Engineers to understand the fate of all the buildings around the site.

As much as 42,000 gallons of diesel fuel was stored near ground level in the tower and ran in pipes up to smaller tanks and emergency generators for Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani's command center, the Secret Service's office and other tenants.

Investigators have determined that the burning fuel apparently undermined what is known as a transfer truss. The trusses, a series of steel beams that allowed the skyscraper to be built atop multistory electricity transformers, were critical to the structural integrity of the building and ran near the smaller diesel tanks.

Now, NIST is saying:

The engineers also examined whether diesel fuel tanks in the building - to power the mayor's emergency operations center and other government offices - might have been a fuel source that caused the collapse. The investigators determined, partly on the basis of computer models and videos of smoke coming from the tower, that the heat generated from any fuel-fed fires would not have been enough to cause the collapse.

75% of Americans have no interest in seeking anything approaching the truth. They will go right along like ant on the ant hill, oblivious to the poison being dumped on them.

They will accept this lie and tell anyone pointing out it's fallacy that they are crazy.

The American public needs to understand something that is simple to explain, but difficult to accept: That their government in DC has been taken over by thieves, liars and murderers.

That is what they will never believe, since it sounds so monstrous.

Yet, they believe the lies put forth by the Bush/Cheney cabal about the monstrous acts of 9/11.

They readily accept that 9/11, pulled off with military precison, in spite of it being a logistical nightmare, they readily believe that someone living in a cave 12,000 miles away was able to perform this feat, but won't look at a mountain of evidence pointing back at Cheney, Rumsfeld and the MOSSAD.

That reality is too painful to contemplate.

Have you seen this new 911 video, MISSING LINKS?

I think it is the best summation of events I've seen to date.

A huge thumbs up to PROTHINK on this one!

I only have a dial-up modem, so viewing anything online is a exercise in futility.

However, i'll send the link to my brother, who has a hi-speed connection and get him to give it a look over.

thanks

P.S. He's finally come around and has realized that the offical version of 9/11 is full of shit.

On the morning of 9/11, i had worked a 24 hour shift the day before at the fire department and was lying on the couch, half asleep, trying to regain some strength when the phone rang.

It was my brother, babbling on about the planes slamming into the WTC and had I seen it on TV?

I said no, hadn't been watching TV, but that it sounded like the CIA was up to their old tricks.

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds, then he said i needed to turn on the TV.

He told me a couple of years later he thought i was fucking crazy for saying that about the CIA, now he's no longer thinking it's crazy.

Missing Links will open your brothers eyes for sure. I don't often want to get a hard copy CD of a vid, but I will make a copy of this or buy one if I they are selling CD.

It's that good.
