FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Sept. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The fall of the 47-story
World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC 7) in New York City late in the
afternoon of September 11, 2001, was not a result of fires, according to a
draft report released yesterday by researchers at the University of Alaska
Fairbanks (UAF) following a four-year computer modeling study funded by
Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.

The UAF team's findings contradict those of the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency of the U.S. Department of
Commerce, which concluded in a 2008 report that WTC 7 was the first tall
building ever to collapse primarily due to fire. The collapse of WTC 7 has
long been the subject of controversy, with critics of the government's
account arguing it was brought down in a controlled demolition.
UAF civil engineering professor Leroy Hulsey was the study's principal
investigator. Feng Xiao, now an associate professor at Nanjing University
of Science and Technology, and Zhili Quan, now a bridge engineer for the
South Carolina Department of Transportation, were research assistants and
co-authors.
"Our study found that the fires in WTC 7 could not have caused the collapse
recorded on video," said Professor Hulsey. "We simulated every plausible
scenario, and we found that the series of failures that NIST claimed
triggered a progressive collapse of the entire structure could not have
occurred. The only thing that could have brought this structure down in the
manner observed on 9/11 is the near-simultaneous failure of every column in
the building below Floor 17."
The UAF study was funded by Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth
(AE911Truth), a nonprofit representing more than 3,000 architects and
engineers who have signed the organization's petition calling upon Congress
to open a new investigation into the destruction of the three World Trade
Center towers on 9/11.
The release of the draft report begins a two-month period during which the
public is invited to submit comments. The final report will be published
later this year. The research team plans to make public by the end of
September all of the data used and generated during the study, a decision
that contrasts with NIST's withholding of key modeling data on the grounds
that releasing it "might jeopardize public safety."
