\"imagesHG6PVD28\"<\/a>June 2, 2014 \u2013 The 24-member 9\/11 Consensus Panel \u2013 which includes physicists, chemists, engineers, commercial pilots, attorneys and lawyers \u2013 today announced three new studies confirming the controlled demolition of World Trade Center 7.<\/p>\n

The studies scientifically refute the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) claim that, for the first time in history, fire caused the sudden and complete collapse of a large, fire-protected, steel-framed building on 9\/11. <\/p>\n

(Note that whereas the Consensus Panel uses a scientific methodology<\/a> to peer-review its work, the NIST report was not peer-reviewed<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The first Panel study<\/a> deals with the NIST computer simulations, which purported to show that fire-induced thermal expansion caused a girder to be pushed off its seat at Column 79, thereby initiating a global collapse of the entire 47-storey building at 5:21 in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

However, a recent FOIA request has produced WTC 7 architectural drawings showing that the NIST simulations omitted basic structural supports that would have made this girder failure impossible.<\/p>\n

The second Consensus Panel study<\/a> deals with NIST\u2019s claim that it did not recover any steel from this massive steel-frame skyscraper.<\/p>\n

This is extraordinary, given the need to understand why a steel-frame building would have completely collapsed for the first time in history from fire alone, and to thereby prevent a recurrence.<\/p>\n

We know now that some of the steel was recovered. Photographs<\/a> recently obtained by researchers show the strange curled-up paper-thin WTC 7 steel, with a NIST investigator pointing it out.<\/p>\n

The third Panel study<\/a> shows that on September 11, 2001, many people were told hours in advance that WTC 7 was going to collapse.<\/p>\n

MSNBC reporter Ashleigh Banfield said early in the afternoon: \u201cI\u2019ve heard several reports from several different officers now that that is the building that is going to go down next.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many members of the New York Fire Department were confidently waiting for the building to come down:<\/p>\n

Firefighter Thomas Donato: \u201cWe were standing, waiting for seven to come down. We were there for quite a while, a couple hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Assistant Commissioner James Drury: \u201cI must have lingered there. There were hundreds of firefighters waiting to \u2013 they were waiting for 7 World Trade Center to come down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chief Thomas McCarthy: \u201cSo when I get to the command post, they just had a flood of guys standing there. They were just waiting for 7 to come down.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, CNN and the BBC made premature announcements.<\/p>\n

This foreknowledge corroborates the evidence presented in previous Consensus Points (WTC7-1 to WTC7-5<\/a>) that WTC 7 was brought down by controlled demolition.<\/p>\n
