Much was made by NIST in the televised Public Relations extravaganza back in August about the "fact" that they had debunked the freefall "theory"... as it was only a theory anyway - and not based on "real science".
Essentially NIST had to say this - and very firmly- from the start of their presentation - as even NIST and everyone else agrees that "freefall" indicates controlled demolition and ONLY controlled demolition. Freefall is not posible under any other scenario, such as their proposed 'gradually-weakening' computer simulation. They had to make the strong case for NO freefall. As it turns out, today we learn that they are playing the American public for fools - once again - with more of the same Bush-league anti-science propaganda, thinly disguised. The timing study was redone by the original scientist, this time using NIST numbers and the identical video, and guess what - freefall indeed ! It turns out, NIST had tried to sneak in an "average" of the complete collapse [down to ground level] time frame - as disproving the very significant 3 seconds of absolute freefall of the top 29 floors - which is all that can be seen in the video to begin with. What were they [NIST] thinking? That everyone would fold up tents and go home, following the powerful "take-away" message from NIST that there was no freefall ! - and then everything would be hunky-dory thereafter? This all important 3 seconds can only happen with controlled demolition. Period. This is damning, and may be evidence of criminal conduct on the part of the top officials at NIST. http://utube.smashits.com/video/gC44L0-2zL8/WTC7-in-Freefall.html
