chumper just dropped the chum in the water.
I'm shocked the resident non-conspiracy theorist didn't start this one earlier.

Looks like the slideshow will be shown separately alongside the speaker's presentation. Cool.

I'm waiting to see if any CT folk come forth in the public comment portion.
In the interest of fairness, I will also give a link to the nutjobs who will hold a teleconference right after the NIST presentation refuting the results of a report that has yet to be released:

It took 15 minutes for someone to mention THERMATE!
please delete this post. i've got 3M stock.
OMG, I'm listening to a conspiracy non-theory song on this link to the nutjob conference webcast.
Anthemic...
FAIRIES!!
The nutjob is going on about molten metal observed weeks after the collapse in the rubble pile.
Apparently THERM*TE burns for months, and the NWO used a whole lot more than they needed to make rivers of molten steel.
Fairy God Parents did it!
G.W. Bush has fairy god parents!!
Keep us at work posted, CD.
The highlight is this song that they are repeating now.
The truthers just rehashed everything they have been saying for years.
THERMITE!
They're upset that NIST dismissed that theory when they couldn't think of a practical way of holding hundreds of pounds of thermite in constant contact with the column it is supposed to melt.
Wait, I thought this was a government-snctioned press conference...
This is some truther conference?!
, nevermind....
The NIST conference was at 10, then the truthers had theirs right after.
The NIST summary was that fires caused uneven thermal expansion in the composite floors, and that either collapsed the floors or caused them to push on the columns. Enough of this happened around a column 79 to cause it to buckle and fail, then the redistributed loads overwhelmed the other columns. The collapse then progressed both vertically and horizontally.
I don't know if the NIST conference was archived, but the slideshow used can be found here:

Here is the NIST presenter's comment on their consideration of explosive controlled demolition:
"Before I tell you what we found, I’d like to tell you what we did not find. We did not find any evidence that explosives were used to bring the building down. We ran detailed computer simulations of blast scenarios. What you see in this slide are the expected air pressures from the smallest possible blast capable of crippling a critical column. This size blast would have produced an incredibly
loud sound that was not recorded on videos of the collapse nor reported by witnesses."
Oh, and I found the song:
Priceless.
That reminds me, did they ever determine if that frozen Bigfoot was real?
Fraud.
This is a sad day in American history.
You're pissed about the womens softball team losing too? I thought it was just me.
For you and your sad, pathetic ilk, it is indeed.
March 12, 1610 - Scientific Revolution begins - Science replaces supers ion- Galileo publishes the Starry Messenger.
August 21, 2008 - The Scientific Revolution ends - Supers ion replaces science - NIST publishes Report on WTC 7.
It was a good run, almost 400 years.

Your brain is an iron-rich microsphere.

The scientific method is to take a hypothesis and test it against observed phenomenon.
In this case, the NIST tested the “explosives” hypothesis.
They calculated the minimum amount of force and explosives needed to reasonably destroy enough structure to collapse the building.
Surprisingly they came to a common sense conclusion that the amount of explosives required would have been heard for miles as a sharp report, to say nothing of sending glass and debris in all directions at thousands of feet per second.
The truther response: since they can’t go with something that is loud, they go with Thermite.
Ok, fine.
How the was the thermite held to the column long enough to melt it?
Dude the thermite grenades they gave us in the military to disable equipment burns straight DOWN. They tell us simply to put them on top of and let it burn DOWN through.
HOW DID THE MAGIC DEMOLITION FAIRIES ATTACH THE MOLTEN THERMIT TO THE VERTICAL COLUMNS?
The presser will be online tomorrow, but all the major points (minus the entertaining twoofer questions) can be found in the videos on this page:
