Synopsis

At 5:21 in the afternoon on 9/11 -- almost seven hours after both the Twin Towers had collapsed -- Building 7 of the World Trade Center also came down, even though it had not been struck by an airplane and had fires on only a few floors. The reason for its collapse was considered a mystery. In August 2008, the official report on WTC 7 was finally released by NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology), which declared: 'the reason for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 is no longer a mystery'. The principal author of this report assured the press that 'science is really behind what we have said'. Noting that President Obama has declared that his administration 'will restore science to its rightful place', David Ray Griffin shows that science emphatically does not support the conclusions of NIST's WTC 7 report. He demonstrates that NIST is guilty of the most serious types of scientific fraud: fabricating, falsifying, and ignoring evidence. His study concludes by pointing out that even after all its distortions of fact, the NIST report has still left the world wondering: How could a building brought down by fire -- not explosives -- have come down in free fall?
