The reason for its collapse was considered a mystery. In August 2008, NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology) issued its report on WTC 7, declaring that "the reason for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 is no longer a mystery" and that "science is really behind what we have said." Showing that neither of these claims is true, David Ray Griffin demonstrates that NIST is guilty of the most serious types of scientific fraud: fabricating, falsifying, and ignoring evidence. He also shows that NIST's report left intact the central mystery: How could a building damaged by fire - not explosives - have come down in free fall?"--Pub. desc. 650 0 $a September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2001000147 610 20 $a World Trade Center (New York, N.Y.) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh86001484 610 20 $a National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States. $t 9/11 Commission report. 610 27 $a World Trade Center (New York, N.Y.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00631494 611 27 $a September 11 Terrorist Attacks (2001) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01112794 630 07 $a 9/11 Commission report (National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01911347 648 7 $a 2001 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219012130.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F2970BA8033911E8972C924897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
