NIST to Release Report on B7 via Public Webcast - Thurs, Aug 21st

Tuesday, Aug 19, 2008

It seems odd to be using a webcast format for this, but I guess they’re expecting all the “internet conspiracy theorists” to tune in.

NIST to Release Report and Recommendations from Investigation of World
Trade Center Building 7

Gaithersburg, Md. — The Commerce Department’s National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) will hold a media briefing and live
public webcast on Aug. 21, 2008, in Gaithersburg, Md., on the findings
and recommendations from its building and fire safety investigation of
the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC 7). WTC 7 was a
47-story building that fell nearly seven hours after the World Trade
Center (WTC) towers collapsed following the terrorist attacks of Sept.
11, 2001.

The NIST WTC 7 report will present the probable collapse sequence for
the building and will provide recommendations for improving building
and fire safety in other buildings similar to WTC 7. The draft WTC 7
investigation report released at the briefing will be open for public
comment through noon Eastern Daylight Time on Sept. 15, 2008.


Shyam Sunder, director of the NIST Building and Fire Research
Laboratory and lead investigator for the federal building and fire
safety investigation of the World Trade Center disaster, will present
the report and answer questions from reporters at the briefing. The
public will be able to view the briefing through a live webcast that
will be accessible from NIST’s WTC Web site at http://wtc.nist.gov
