"We were surprised that the building [WTC7] collapsed, we being the team that investigated what occurred on that day. There was some damage to the Tower 7 caused by debris that hit it from Tower 1 but the damage was certainly not similar in scope or magnitude to that caused by the aircrafts hitting Towers 1 and 2. Normally when you have a structural failure you carefully go through the debris field looking at each item, photographing every beam as it collapsed and every column where it is on the ground and you pick them up very carefully and you look at each element. We were unable to do that in the case of Tower 7".
[Jonathan Barnett, PhD. Fire Protection Engineer charged with investigation of WTC7-collapse debris-field.]
Cited from video testimony seen here:
Also note:
[Dear Prof. Barnett,
I came across the following comment made by you to James Glanz of the New York Times of November 29, 2001, regarding the collapse of WTC 7 on September 11, 2001:
"A combination of an uncontrolled fire and the structural damage might have been able to bring the building down, some engineers said. But that would not explain steel members in the debris pile that appear to
have been partly evaporated in extraordinarily high temperatures, Dr.
Barnett said."]

===============================================
Dr. Jonathan R. Barnett is a Professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). He holds appointments in Fire Protection engineering and mechanical engineering and is the co-Director and co-founder of the
WPI Melbourne Project Center. Dr. Barnett received his undergraduate, masters and doctorate from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He is a fellow of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) and a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the National Fire Protection Association, the American Society of Testing and Materials Committee E-5, and the
International Association of Fire Safety Science. He has held appointments as the Editor of the SFPE Journal of Fire Protection Engineering, President of the New England Chapter of the SFPE and Chair
of the American Society of Civil Engineers Committee on Fire Protection.

His work and research in fire protection engineering is extensive, including most recently his participation in the Building Performance Assessment Team organized by the American Society of Civil Engineers for the Federal Emergency Management Agency to investigate the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers after the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001.

His current research centers on the mathematical modeling and computer
simulation of fires in buildings, ships and transit systems with an emphasis on heat transfer in structures and the use of computers in fire investigation and fire reconstruction. Recently he has developed a
prototype garment flammability test for the U.S. Navy Clothing and Textile Research Facility.

  • silverstien even said lets pull the building......lol...then later on said i meant pull the people out...yeh rite

  • He actually said, "So we made the decision to pull it and then we watched the building collapse"

    lols. Its embarassing how fucking retarded and enslaved stupid the average American middle-class mind has become. its a modern tragedy.

  • Nice cherry-picking here -- you cut off the rest of his comments since they make it clear that Barnett does NOT support any of these crackpot conspiracy theories.

    And that he knows that PLENTY of steel-framed buildings have fallen fom fire.

  • "And that he knows that PLENTY of steel-framed buildings have fallen fom fire."

    He better contact NIST then and tell them their final report on WTC7 is wrong. Cause NIST admitted it was the first case in history of a high-rise building collapsing because of fire.

    SO you see FArmgirl, you simply don't know what the fuck you are talking about - And that is to be expected from a fuckwit moron who is so fucking stupid they believe the official bullshit RETARD story fit for RETARDS like you!

  • Well we couldn't have engineers studying the collapse of WTC7 now could we? "National security crime scene, ongoing investigation; had to get it cleaned up and find the survivors; engineers just get in the way. And why do you want to know? Are you a terrorist? We're at war! Move along, nothing to see! If we wanted you to know, we would have told you already"\

  • rio de Janeiro.I´m an engineer. My condolences to the family of the eminent engineer, who rest in peace. my college in his writings helped to elucidate the plot of this disease along with several others. Here, no engineering college accepts the disease. His sacrifice to show that engineering does not accept lies and facts dystocia was not in vain. The WTC7 was destroyed by being hit by WTC1. damage did collapse. Explosives? Only ignorant and Communists

  • @blueshadow1996 Do you have a reference for Jennings death from leukemia? If not, how did you find out? Thanks!

  • @Born2Flesh Jennings died from Leukemia . Nothing to do with the reports..Loose change on the other hand published info that he did not want as it was wrong...

  • Barry Jennings states that a huge explosion blew up the lobby before either of the towers fell. If you don't know who he is, google him. He died a few days before the final WTC7 NIST report came out. No word on cause of his death. It's been kept hush hush. Barry was a city official and credible witness to bombs going off in WTC7 that would have discredited the NIST report. 100% Inside Job

  • However BBC The Conspiracy Files - The Third Tower he shows up with samples from WTC a year later???

  • @Focoist911 He has in fact made those comments, although specifics have been left out. He commented that he knows of plenty UNPROTECTED steel-framed buildings that have collapsed from fire. Those being steel structures that had no fireproofing. WTC did have fireproofing, however, the proofing was blown off when the airplanes crashed into the buildings. He has stated that as little as 30% of the proofing being removed is all that would be needed to allow the building to fall.

  • Do any of you play poker? Does Prof. Barnett have an explosive "tell" or what?

    The man is smart and great in his field, but he should never play poker.

    Translation for non-poker players: watch his face and body language. He is hiding something. He BADLY wants to say something but is holding it back with every ounce of strength in his soul.

    What does he want to say? Well, if he wanted to say WTC collapsed as the official story claims, he could blurt that out whenever he wanted.
