Scientists with the National Institute of Standards and Technology say their three-year investigation of the collapse determined the demise of WTC 7 was actually the first time in the world a fire caused the total failure of a skyscraper. “The reason for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 is no longer a mystery,” said Dr. Shyam Sunder, the lead investigator on the NIST team.
Huh? this makes no sense to me. If something has never happened before, how can you say the cause insn't a mystery?
and this from the link:
In discussing the findings, the investigator Sunder acknowledged that some may still not be convinced, but insisted the science behind their findings is "incredibly conclusive."
"The public should really recognize the science is really behind what we have said," he said, adding: "The obvious stares you in the face."
Uh, yeah.
It's "obvious" that "incredibly conclusive" is abad choice of words. It's sounds as if the conclusion is incredible (unbelievable). I'll agree with that.
