Bunch of things here.
1. thanks for bringing this up AGAIN.
2. This report does little to actually dismiss or argue NISTs findings, they only present other alternatives.
3. the things they do argue they don't back up with numbers which NIST has.
4. They even mention that the fire in the building would have been hot enough to cause failure 660 degrees.
5. the fire insulation was being replaced in the building as what was there was not sufficient. what was there was mechanically attached which doesn't meet code. there wasn't spray applied as is needed.
6. Hilarious that the engineer who designed it believes the only thing to take it down would be demo. This is a case of orangedogs Masters of Disaster. Someone that confident has not built enough buildings to be taken seriously or is putting on a brave face for something.
7. they mention redundancy, the only redundancy that would have mattered is if there was another clip system. there literally couldn't be. I would really like to know what they are claiming is actually redundant.
8. the one chart they do show doesn't take into any consideration any of the damage done. how could it? so them saying a floor would stop another is once again looking at the strongest case and saying "See it would hold up".
9. Their measurements on the fall are based on videos which they admit you can't tell the difference in the change in acceleration because of the quality of video.
10. without being able to do their own investigation I have no idea where these guys are pulling their assumptions from. It really boils down to they didn't like NISTs report so they went and found answers they were looking for instead of looking for the truth.
Just as i suspected. Because they question, their findings are invalid. Yet because the government put their findings, everything is completely legit and accurate.
The government clearly has your best interest at heart and has never lied to you. Wow.
