NIST Replies to Stiffeners Inquiry

Posted by kawika on Wed, 11/06/2013 - 5:30pm

I am pleased to offer the following email from Public Affairs Officer Michael Newman, dated 25 OCT 2013. The inquiry actually began in March 2012 immediately following our discovery of the stiffeners on girder A2001. Despite what the answer says, I made my inquiry on 26 JUL 2013 and followed up on 24 SEP. No reply was received so I sent a final letter on 19 OCT.
Background on this inquiry can be found here:

Dear Mr. Cole,
Following your e-mail of September 24 (see below), a set of responses to your questions were prepared. Unfortunately, the partial shutdown of the federal government delayed our getting these responses to you. With our apologies for tardiness, here are those responses:
A) In NCSTAR 1-9, which design drawing was used to create:
Figure 8-21?.................1091, 9114
Figure 8-23?.................1091, 3004, 9114
Figure 8-26?.................1091, 3004, 9114
Figure 8-27?.................E12-13
Figure 11-16?...............E12-13, E120
Figure 11-19?...............None
Figure 12-24?..............1091, 9114
Figure 12-25?..............1091, 9114, E12-13
B) Given that Frankel drawing #9114 shows 3/4" web/flange stiffeners installed on the girder at the 13th floor column 79 connection, why weren't the stiffeners reported in NCSTAR 1-9 and shown in the figures listed above? Was Frankel Drawing #9114 used? If not, why not?
The web stiffeners shown at the end of the girder in Frankel drawing #9114 prevent web crippling. The structural analyses of WTC 7 did not show any web crippling failures. Therefore, the web crippling plates did not need to be included in the models/analyses.
Again, we apologize for the length of time it took to get this information back to you.
Thank you for your interest in the NIST World Trade Center investigation.
Sincerely,
Michael Newman
NIST Public Affairs Office

David Ray Griffin: Review of "September 11 - The New Pearl Harbor"

Review of "September 11 - The New Pearl Harbor".  A documentary by Massimo Mazzucco.
David Ray Griffin
There have been several good films and videos about 9/11. But the new film by award-winning film-maker Massimo Mazzucco is in a class by itself.
For those of us who have been working on 9/11 for a long time, this is the film we have been waiting for.
Whereas there are excellent films treating the falsity of particular parts of the official account, such as the Twin Towers or WTC 7, Mazzucco has given us a comprehensive documentary treatment of 9/11, dealing with virtually all of the issues.
There have, of course, been films that treated the fictional official story as true. And there are films that use fictional stories to portray people’s struggles after starting to suspect the official story to be false.
But there is no fiction in Mazzucco’s film – except in the sense that it clearly and relentlessly exposes every part of the official account as fictional.
Because of his intent at completeness, Mazzucco has given us a 5-hour film. It is so fascinating and fast-paced that many will want to watch it in one sitting. But this is not necessary, as the film, which fills 3 DVDs, consists of 7 parts, each of which is divided into many short chapters.
These 7 parts treat Air Defence, The Hijackers, The Airplanes, The Pentagon, Flight 93, The Twin Towers, and Building 7. In each part, after presenting facts that contradict the official story, Mazzucco deals with the claims of the debunkers (meaning those who try to debunk the evidence provided by the 9/11 research community).
The Introduction, reflecting the film’s title, deals with 12 uncanny parallels between Pearl Harbor and September 11.
The film can educate people who know nothing about 9/11 (beyond the official story), those with a moderate amount of knowledge about the various problems with the official story, and even by experts. (I myself learned many things.)
Mazzucco points out that his film covers 12 years of public debate about 9/11. People who have been promoting 9/11 truth for many of these years will see that their labors have been well-rewarded: There is now a high-quality, carefully-documented film that dramatically shows the official story about 9/11 to be a fabrication through and through.
This is truly the film we have been waiting for.

And this is one of many 911blogger footy bullets I've been waiting for.

Who is this Massimo Mazzucco character?   That's where it gets interesting.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massimo_Mazzucco

 Massimo Mazzucco (born 20 July 1954 in Turin) is an Italian filmmaker who is known for producing documentary films such as The New American Century and Cancer -The Forbidden Cures. Mazzucco is also the editor of luogocomune.net^{[irrelevant citation]}, an Italian news site known especially for discussing conspiracy theories regarding the September 11 WTC attacks.

You what?  Seriously? The man who's brought the truth movement the "film we've been waiting for" , previous work includes a Tea Bagger/Patriot/Larouche/Da Jews pastiche The New American Century

Editorial Reviews

This film reveals the historical, philosophical, and political background that traces the 9/11 attacks to a place much closer to home than normally believed. Some call it an inside-job. *** SOME QUOTES: "The New American Century is a stunning film. It should be seen as widely as possible, in cinemas, bars, clubs, at meetings and, of course, through the internet. I'm sure the film will continue to be a source of debate and political education for many years." -- Ken Loach (British film director). *** "Historically accurate, narratively captivating, The New American Century is one of the best films about the facts behind the 9/11 attacks". -- Webster G. Tarpley (Historian).

AND  quakery?  "CANCRO LE CURE PROIBITE" 

In the last 100 years dozens of doctors, scientists and researchers have come up with the most diverse, apparently effective solutions against cancer, but none of these was ever taken into serious consideration by official medicine. Most of them were in fact rejected out-front, even though healings were claimed in the thousands, their proposers often being labeled as charlatans, ostracized by the medical community and ultimately forced to leave the country. At the same time more than 20,000 people die of cancer every day, without official medicine being able to offer a true sense of hope to those affected by it. Why?

Because they were quacks and so are you.   

He doesn't seem as proud of this one as his Tea Party friendly master piece.  Here's a link to a video:

True to form, readers gloss over whoever this Mazzucco is and ask the pressing question of the hour:  didn't DRG get the boot from a mod?

Erik Larson critique

It would be interesting, if David Ray Griffin had addressed this:
Critique of David Ray Griffin’s 9/11 Fake Calls Theory by Erik Larson
http://911blogger.com/news/2011-02-10/critique-david-ray-griffin-s-911-fake-calls-theory
It would be interesting, what Massimo Mazzucco would say about Larson arguments.
Did Mazzucco overtake some of Griffins interpretation, which were debunked by Erik Larson?
Is Larson still moderator and active here, at all?

bio on Fri, 11/15/2013 - 11:53am.

What bio doesn't understand is now that all the anti-war "truthers" jumped ship for various reasons, most boiling down to seeing the movement as one giant con, and they only people left are brainwashed or scammers themselves, there's no longer any reason to pretend there's a reasonable, leftist anti racist sub group of truthers the mods have to suck up to.

Also, there's no Santa Claus.

So it's unlikely we'll be seeing Larson again, much less any serious objections to wacky theories pushing by closet Nazi propagandists.   

But look on the bright side:  the scammers no longer have to pretend to be anti racist anymore.
