NIST: Request for Correction

In April 2007 several members of Scholars for 9/11 Truth & Justice (STJ), including Steven Jones, filed a petition to NIST requesting that it correct and explain some of the fallacies and errors in its WTC report. Following an inadequate reply the STJ members have re-submitted their request in a new letter. Read it here. [More information can be found at the Journal of 9/11 Studies.]

One of the requests for correction concerns NIST's open admission that it did not test for thermite residues in its investigation of the WTC collapses. It's standard practise, in fact its law, that following any building collapse or fire that the site be tested for thermite residues. If thermite residues are found then this shows that explosives were used in the collapse or fire. This is clearly important where arson or foul play is suspected: the existence of thermite residues go along way towards proving that a crime has been committed; thermite isn't the kind of substance you'd usually find lying around by accident. And yet NIST did not think it necessary to perform such tests in its 9/11 investigation. This becomes problematic because NIST says that it has found 'no evidence that explosives were used' in the WTC attacks: but then if NIST did not test for explosives, it's hardly surprising that they found no evidence of any. You see the problem. 'Officially', explosives were not used. But that's because 'officially', no one tested for them. See no evil. Hear no evil.

9/11 Presentations
-
Two new presentations. One by Steven Jones. The other by Richard Gage, member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), and founder of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. These lectures combined present the overwhelming body of evidence supporting the claim that explosives were used to bring down the three WTC buildings on 9/11.
