The AmeriKan MSM viability as a "news" service just collapsed as quick as building 7 did that damnable day. And we are supposed to believe them when now?
That's why you and I are here, readers.

GAITHERSBURG, Md. — Fires in the 47-story office tower at the edge of the World Trade Center site undermined floor beams and critical structural columns, federal investigators concluded Thursday, as they attempted to curb still-rampant speculation that explosives or fuel fires were responsible for the building’s collapse of Sept. 11, 2001.
The long-delayed report by engineers here at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in suburban Washington is intended to solve one of still lingering central questions about the 2001 attacks: Why did 7 World Trade Center fall, if it was not hit by an airplane.
“Heating of floor beams and girders caused a critical support column to fail,” said Shyam Sunder, the lead investigator. “Video and photographic evidence combined with detailed computer simulations show that neither explosives nor fuel oils played a role in the collapse that brought the building down.”
No one died when 7 World Trade Center fell, nearly seven hours after the twin towers came down. But the collapse of the adjacent tower — once home to branch offices of the Central Intelligence, the Secret Service and to the Giuliani administration’s emergency operations center — is cited in hundreds of books and Internet sites as perhaps the most compelling evidence that an insider secretly planted explosives, intentionally destroying the tower.
It is the first skyscraper in modern times to collapse primarily as a result of a fire.
As if the two other, more than twice as tall towers that dropped that day are not blamed on fire, notice that subtle sleight-of-hand by the NYT?
Mainstream engineers and government officials have rejected the speculation as ridiculous. But national polls have shown that perhaps as many as 1 in 7 Americans believe that the destruction of the World Trade Center towers was an inside job.
The investigators determined that debris from the falling twin towers ignited fires on at least 10 floors at 7 World Trade Center, which was about 400 feet north of where the city’s two tallest buildings once stood. The blazes burned out of control for six hours, as the city fire department, devastated by the collapse of the twin towers, abandoned its efforts to extinguish the fire, and the sprinkler system was incapacitated.
That's when Larry Silverstein and the fire department commander decided to "pull it," as Larry told PBS in 2002. How comre the NYT leaves that out?
The heat from these fires, the investigators said, caused the beams on the lower floors of the east side of the tower to expand, ultimately causing a girder on the 13th floor to disconnect from a critical interior column that supported the building’s long floor spans. Once the 13th floor gave way, a cascade of floor failures started down to the fifth floor, leading to the overall collapse of the tower.
Then why did it drop down so symmetrically like all the controlled demolitions I've seen on television?
In fact, why did the other two come down at "FREE-FALL SPEED" when they allegedly "pancaked?" Ever hear of CONSERVATION of MOMENTUM? It's a LAW of OUR PHYSICAL WORLD and it is NON-NEGOTIABLE!!!
Thing is, seven years ago, I wouldn't have questioned a damn thing. Well, we are a long way from Kansas, Toto.
Skeptics have questioned if explosives were planted at 7 World Trade Center, as well as the twin towers and the Pentagon, as the Bush administration was seeking a justification to invade Iraq and Afghanistan. What started as a small number of such conspiracy theorists has only ballooned into a movement of sorts, largely fed by Internet sites that promote the theories.
Translation: The TRUTH is on the WEB! You sure as hell know the NYT ain't giving it to you.
Yeah, I know, they would lie about Iraq (and the global warming!), but they wouldn't lie about 9/11! Right? RIGHT?
“Seven World Trade Center is one of the key points of evidence, one of the smoking guns,” said Richard Gage, a California architect who leader a group called Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. “There have been much hotter, longer lasting and larger fires in skyscrapers that have not fallen down.”
Yup. Only on THAT DAY and THAT DAY ALONE did FIRE FELL STEEL BUILDINGS!!!
Of course, these important scientists and engineers are to be ignored by the agenda-pushing liars of Zionist-controlled AmeriKan MSM! And we KNOW WHY NOW!
9/11 was an INSIDE JOB with ALL TRAILS leading back to ISRAEL!!!!
CUI BONO?
The investigators said that if the city water main had not been broken during the collapse of the twin towers, the sprinkler system would likely have put out the fires at 7 World Trade Center, and the building would not have fallen.
Government investogators? Then it is BULLSHIT!!!
The engineers also examined whether diesel fuel tanks in the building — to power the Giuliani administration’s emergency operations center and other government offices — might have been a fuel source that caused the collapse. The investigators determined, based in part on 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.
Dr. Sunder said the investigation pointed to how expansion that can occur in steel as it heats up in a fire needs to be considered to prevent skyscraper collapses.
“Our take-home message today is the reason for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 is no longer a mystery,” Dr. Sunder said. “It did not collapse from explosives or fuel oil fires.”
A new, substantially different, 52-story 7 World Trade Center opened in 2006."
I thought that article was bad enough, but look at the hack job the AP puts out:
GAITHERSBURG, Md. --Federal investigators said Thursday they have solved a mystery of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks: the collapse of World Trade Center building 7, a source of long-running conspiracy theories.
The 47-story trapezoid-shaped building sat north of the World Trade Center towers, across Vesey Street in lower Manhattan. On Sept. 11, it was set on fire by falling debris from the burning towers, but skeptics have long argued that fire and debris alone should not have brought down such a big steel-and-concrete structure.
Scientists with the National Institute of Standards and Technology say their three-year investigation of the collapse determined the demise of WTC 7 was actually the first time in the world a fire caused the total failure of a skyscraper.
And the LAST, too!!!!
So how did WTC 1 and 2 come down then, because they told us that was fire, too?
First they ignore WTC 7 completely to make you recall by rote only the horror of 1 and 2; now that they are talking aboput 7, it is as if 1 and 2 were never dropped!
Nice SLEIGHT-of-HAND REPORTING, MSM!!
"The reason for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 is no longer a mystery," said Dr. Shyam Sunder, the lead investigator on the NIST team.
Because a government cover up says so?
Investigators also concluded that the collapse of the nearby towers broke the city water main, leaving the sprinkler system in the bottom half of the building without water.
The building has been the subject of a wide range of conspiracy theories for the last seven years, partly because the collapse occurred about seven hours after the twin towers came down. That fueled suspicion that someone intentionally blew up the building in a controlled demolition.
Critics like Mike Berger of the group 9/11 Truth said he wasn't buying the government's explanation.
"Their explanation simply isn't sufficient. We're being lied to," he said, arguing that there is other evidence suggesting explosives were used on the building.
Which the AP never gets back too, btw.
And look at how they leave the truth movement: Ah, government's liars, and that's it. NEVER EXAMINES the EVIDENCE, and ALWAYS REPORTS "official" crap. They TURN RIGHT BACK to "officials" again here!
Therefore, it is time to TOTALLY DISCOUNT ANYTHING the MSM has to say!!!
Sunder said his team investigated the possibility that an explosion inside the building brought it down, but found there was no large boom or other noise that would have occurred with such a detonation. Investigators also created a giant computer model of the collapse, based partly on news footage from CBS News, that they say shows internal column failure brought down the building.

9/11/2001 radio broadcast: "...I was just standing there, ya know... we were watching the building [WTC 7] actually 'cuz it was on fire... the bottom floors of the building were on fire and... we heard this sound that sounded like a clap of thunder..."
http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/february2007/100207heardbombs.htm
"Somebody grabbed my shoulder and I started running, and the shit's hitting the ground behind me, and the whole time you're hearing "boom, boom, boom, boom, boom." I think I know an explosion when I hear it..."

OK, MSM, whatever!
Investigators also ruled out the possibility that the collapse was caused by fires from a substantial amount of diesel fuel that was stored in the building, most of it for generators for the city's emergency operations command center.
The 77-page report concluded that the fatal blow to the building came when the 13th floor collapsed, weakening a critical steel support column that led to catastrophic failure.
"When this critical column buckled due to lack of floor supports, it was the first domino in the chain," said Sunder.
I want to know why the damn things failed all at the same time.
What a CO-INKY-DINK, huh?
The NIST investigators issued more than a dozen building recommendations as a result of their inquiry, most of which repeat earlier recommendations from their investigation into the collapse of the two large towers.
In both instances, investigators concluded that extreme heat caused some steel beams to lose strength, causing further failures throughout the buildings until the entire structure succumbed.
If this were actually true, then the construction industry would be racing with new models and designs to protect from catastrophic fires.
The fact that they have NOT DONE THAT speaks volumes about the explanation these government pukes are shoveling.
The recommendations include building skyscrapers with stronger connections and framing systems to resist the effects of thermal expansion, and structural systems designed to prevent damage to one part of a building from spreading to other parts.
A spokeswoman for the leaseholder of the World Trade Center, developer Larry Silverstein, praised the government's work.
"Hopefully this thorough report puts to rest the various 9/11 conspiracy theories, which dishonor the men and women who lost their lives on that terrible day," said Silverstein spokeswoman Dara McQuillen.
That is an INSULT from a guy who COINCIDENTALLY bought those damn towers WEEKS BEFORE 9/11 and had a big fat insurance settlement come his way!!!
In discussing the findings, the investigator Sunder acknowledged that some may still not be convinced, but insisted the science behind their findings is "incredibly conclusive."
"The public should really recognize the science is really behind what we have said," he said, adding: "The obvious stares you in the face."Which is WHY I NO LONGER BELIEVE in the LYING AMERIKAN MSM and GOVERNMENT!!!
All you need to do is WATCH THOSE BUILDINGS COME DOWN and you KNOW IT IS NOT FIRES!!!!!!!!
--more--"
I don't know if I want to do MSM papers here today, folks.
We'll see.
