Non-Existent Diesel Fuel Fire
The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7.
"A definitive study of what happens when political concerns are
permitted to override science and the scientific method. With
intellectual finesse worthy of a scientist, Griffin shows that NIST's
WTC 7 report has no scientific credibility. A must read for all
concerned with the restoration of science to its `rightful place' in our
democracy."--John D. Wyndham, Ph.D., Physics, Cambridge University;
former Research Fellow at the California Institute of Technology]" The
studies below represent years of work by Chris in unraveling some of the
most glaring inconsistencies and outright frauds in the NIST report on
World Trade Center 7. He demonstrates that the NIST’s theory of the
fire-induced collapse of Building 7 is faulty and misleading.
Editor’s
note: To this day most people, including many architects and engineers,
are not aware that a third skyscraper, World Trade Center Building 7,
mysteriously collapsed along with the World Trade Center Twin Towers on
September 11, 2001. The official report on this building’s collapse by
the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been
challenged by many reputable and credentialed technical professionals.
The NIST analysis has not undergone the rigors of scientific peer review
– the typical pathway for validating significant scientific theories.
Chris Sarns’ research appears in Dr. David Ray Griffin’s book titled "
The destruction of this skyscraper on September
11 was truly unprecedented in the history of high-rise buildings. More
than 1,900 architects and engineers at AE911Truth are demanding a new
investigation.
Chris Sarns has also been deeply involved in the work of AE911Truth, where he provides his expertise on WTC 7.

5. NON-EXISTENT DIESEL FUEL FIRE
NIST’s fraudulent diesel fuel fire hypothesis is exposed.
FEMA acknowledges the problem with the diesel fuel fire hypothesis:
"Although the total diesel fuel on the
premises contained massive potential energy, the best hypothesis has
only a low probability of occurrence. Further research, investigation
and analysis is needed to resolve this issue." FEMA Chapter 5 p. 31 –
May, 2002
Federal Emergency Management Agency, Chapter 5, WTC 7
NIST continues the diesel fuel fire hypothesis despite having the data that proved it did not exist.
"The presence of a fuel distribution system
and the possibility of damage at the south face from WTC 1 debris
impact, indicates that fires may have been present on Floor 5." NIST
June 2004 Progress Report, Appendix L p. 51 [pdf p. 55]

2004 Progress Report on the Federal Building and Fire Safety
Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster (NIST SP 1000-5)
Shyam Sunder misinforms Popular Mechanics in
the article “Debunking The 9/11 Myths” by telling the writers that
there was a fire on floor five of WTC7 that lasted up to seven hours.
There was no fire reported on that floor and no reason to think there
was one.
PM: "Second, a fifth-floor fire burned for up to 7 hours. "There was no firefighting in WTC 7, Sunder says. Investigators believe the fire was fed by tanks of diesel fuel
that many tenants used to run emergency generators. Most tanks
throughout the building were fairly small, but a generator on the fifth
floor was connected to a large tank in the basement via a pressurized
line. Says Sunder: "Our current working hypothesis is that this pressurized line was supplying fuel for a long period of time."
"This
finding allows for the possibility, though not conclusively, that the
fuel may have contributed to a fire on Floor 5." NIST Part IIC April 5,
2005 p.38NIST Response to the World Trade Center Disaster – Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster – Part IIC – WTC 7 Collapse – April 5, 2005
In early 2007, the ‘diesel fuel fire’ debate
was about the 40,000 gallons of diesel fuel. No one had researched the
details of the diesel fuel fire hypothesis.
The FEMA Chapter 5 report contains a great
deal of basic information about WTC 7. All the tanks, pipes and
generators were in the west end of the building, except for the 4 SSB
generators in the north east section of floor 5. The supply line to
these generators was the only possible source of a fuel oil fire in the
east end of WTC 7 where the collapse began.
The following is from my post at the JREF forum on March 7, 2007:
"There were no diesel fuel-fed fires in the east part of WTC 7 where the initiating event ocurred that led to the collapse."
The east generator room was in the north east corner of WTC 7 on the 5th floor.
"The supply pipe for the east generator
room was north of the wall that is on the north side of the core area,
about 90' from the south side of the building." [FEMA p. 14 - 15]
The following is from my post at the Loose Change Forum on Nov. 15, 2007:
"The north east generator room was in the NE corner of WTC 7 on the 5th floor. The
supply pipe for the generator room was north of the core area, about 90
feet from the south side of the building and at the opposite end of the
building from where the debris damage was. All the other diesel tanks,
pumps, supply pipes and generators were in the west half of WTC 7.
If the generators were running, and the intake/cooling fans were on, the louver vents would be open.
If there was a
fire in this room, smoke would be pouring out through the cooling air
exhaust vents. If the louvers were closed, a fire would not have
sufficient oxygen to burn hot enough to be a factor in the collapse."

NIST concedes the diesel fuel fire hypothesis on December 18, 2007 p. 6
"The working hypothesis is based on an
initial local failure caused by normal building fires, not fires from
leaking pressurized fuel lines or fuel from day tanks."
NIST – World Trade Center Disaster Study
In the final report NIST paraphrases my final post 12 times.
NCSTAR 1-A Final Report on WTC 7
An under-ventilated fire, in which the air handling system was turned off and the louvers were closed. The initial fuel burning rate was fit to the air availability. Result: The sustained air temperatures were not high enough to compromise the structure.p. 30 [pdf p. 72] An under-ventilated fire, in which the air handling system was turned off, but the louvers were open. Result: Smoke would have exhausted through the east louvers, and the imagery showed no such effluent. The worst-case scenarios associated with fires being fed by the ruptured fuel lines, (b) would have produced large amounts of visible smoke that would have emanated from the exhaust louvers. No such smoke discharge was observed.p. 49 [pdf p. 91] Simulation of hypothetical, worst-case fire scenarios on these floors showed that pool fires, associated with ruptured diesel fuel lines, (c) would have exhausted smoke from the exhaust louvers, which was not observed.p. 51-52 [pdf p. 93-94]
NCSTAR 1-9 Vol.1
"However, if a large fire penetrated a
plenum wall and if the louvers were open, flames might have been
visible, and smoke might have emanated from the exhaust openings. NIST
found no photographic records or eyewitness accounts of smoke or fires
that could be attributed to fires on these two floors." p. 51 [pdf p.
95]
"Simulations showed that pool fires
associated with ruptured diesel fuel lines… (c) would have exhausted
smoke from the exhaust louvers, in conflict with the photographic
evidence which showed none." p. 355 [pdf p. 399]
NCSTAR 1-9 Vol.2
"Result: The FDS simulation showed that the
natural flow from the fire plume would have been out of the louvered
openings on the east side of the building in a very short time.
Significant plumes of smoke would have been seen emerging from the
building within a few minutes of ignition, contradicting the visual
evidence." p. 372 [pdf p. 34]
"A broad range of hypothetical, extreme
fires on the 5th floor did not produce a fire scenario that was
consistent with the visual evidence that would have threatened the load
bearing capacity of Columns 79, 80, or 81." p. 374 [pdf p. 36]
"these fires would have exhausted smoke from the exhaust louvers. No such emanation was observed." p. 386 [pdf p. 48]
"Additionally, such fires would have
produced large amounts of visible smoke that would have emanated from
the exhaust louvers; however, no such smoke discharge was observed." p.
605 [pdf p. 267]
"The worst-case fire scenarios associated
with fires being fed by the ruptured fuel lines (b) would have produced
large amounts of visible smoke that would have emanated from the exhaust
louvers. No such smoke discharge was observed." NCSTAR 1-9 P. 619 [PDF
P. 281]
"Simulation of hypothetical, worst-case
fire scenarios on these floors showed that poof fires associated with
ruptured diesel fuel lines, (c) would have exhausted smoke from the
exhaust louvers, which was not observed." p. 621-622 [pdf p. 283-284]
