NIST Releases Report on Collapse of WTC 7, then Rebutted by Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth

news
Dr. S. Shyam Sunder, NIST's lead investigator for the World Trade Center disaster, reported that the collapse of WTC 7 was caused by fires in the building initiated by falling debris from the collapse of WTC 1, but that structural damage from the debris "had little effect in causing the collapse of WTC 7." In fact Sunder attributed this first ever total collapse of a tall building by fire to "heating of floor beams and girders" which caused a "critical support column to fail, initiating a fire-induced progressive collapse."
