I understand you want me to touch on the expansion of steel due to temperature variations but it would be making the assumption that the temperature is homogenous through all columns. That is a massively incorrect assumption unless the same energy was applied across the entirety of all beams. It just wasn't. Office fires cannot do that.
You're wrong, Mr Metallurgy. For enough steel to expand to the point it renders its structure weak enough to collapse does not require the temperature to be homogeneous through all the columns.

It's a good thing Robert Mueller was sworn in as FBI Director on Sept. 4, 2001 just in time to oversee their thorough, 3-week long investigation.
Of course, they already knew who was responsible once that magical passport was found just blocks from Ground Zero.

To free fall as Building 7 did, it does.
If not the fall would have been incremental piece by piece or section by section.

Internet science.
Someone who knows a structural engineer posted this, so it's science.

And I don't know why you keep going back to metallurgy. I mean it's an important part in terms of A36 grain structure and alloying elements but I think its safe to assume that the metallurgy is pretty consistent throughout the entire Building 7 steel structure. Metallurgy would potentially offer good explanation if the planned symmetric free fall did not fall symmetrically . But Building 7 did fall symmetrically in a free fall fashion.
Is there a relevant reason you keep bringing up metallurgy?

~~~~Sigh ~~~~like most conspiracy theories , this one would
require a lot , A LOT of people to pull it off. Over time , not one person who would have been involved , has opened his pie hole about it .
Even if you stretch your imagination to the limit , does it sound
logical that hundreds of people would keep their mouths shut ?

I'm bringing up metallurgy, structural engineering, the science of combustion, impact and all sorts of things that come into play that you're a neophyte on.
I have an engineering background, too (BS & MS degrees in metallurgical engineering) and one thing you learn with a little experience is how much you don't know outside of the narrow areas you spend the time to become an expert in.
One of my alma maters is Purdue. It's been a while, but I've read and watched presentations of papers by Purdue professors that explained that what happened on 9/11 is absolutely plausible given the dynamics of the the impact of planes, resultant fire/heat, load bearing, and some assertions about poor (by 2001 standards) design of the buildings themselves. There are many similar presentations out there done by credible engineers in relevant fields.
I'm one of the biggest skeptics/critics of all things government around here. I would have zero problem believing some whackjob group in the CIA would come up with this idea. I do have some difficulty believing they'd be able to pull it off in a way that wasn't comically obvious. Point being, I am more than willing to jump on the first bit of credible evidence that 9/11 was an inside job because that would fit my outlook on fedgov - but we haven't seen the first bit of credible evidence.

Coincidentally, the WTC was subject to a terror attack less than a decade prior.
I can’t believe the owners would carry, and subsequently renew, an insurance policy which covered acts of terrorism.

I know it was nearly a quarter century ago, but I’ve seen video with better resolution at the neighborhood stop-n-rob. Even still, watch it at a very reduced playback speed — there seems to a series of frames missing.
And possibly the most secure military facility in the world and all we have is one parking lot camera? B.S.

7 WTC was a veritable beehive of Deep State tenets: what records were destroyed in that building?
Mystery surrounds loss of records on 9/11:
…..The trade center was home to more than 430 companies, including law firms, manufacturers and financial institutions. Twenty-one libraries were destroyed, including that of The Journal of Commerce. Dozens of federal, state and local government agencies were at the site, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Central Intelligence Agency had a clandestine office on the 25th floor of 7 World Trade Center, which also housed the city's emergency command center and an outpost of the U.S. Secret Service.

Then of course the internet sleuths were called loons for worrying about it...
For decades. anyone who dared question the conclusions of the Warren Commission Report was deemed a crazed conspiracy loon who likewise believed the moon landing was faked.
Yet in the past decade alone, declassified files have revealed that the Warren Commission Report itself was — at the very minimum— a massive conspiracy to coverup the fact that the CIA was tracking Oswald in the weeks, months and indeed years before that fateful day in Dallas.
So if any drone ever cites the Warren Commission as the final arbiter of what actually happened in Dallas on that fateful November day in Dallas, realize that they have no credibility whatsoever and are victims of a massive Deep State propaganda campaign.
What else was a lie and what remains in the unclassified CIA files about Kennedy’s assassination that have yet to be to be released?
With this in mind, discussing the true motives and actors that plotted the worst terror attack in American history — which has ushered in an era of permanent warfare and the erection of a massive and unConstitutional surveillance apparatus — is a legitimate line of inquiry for any sentient being who correctly realizes that our nation’s national security apparatus is wholly corrupted and compromised.
We should never forget that Osama Bin Laden and the Afghan Mujahideen — via funding through Pakistan’s national security apparatus — were once CIA assets.
At the very least, the alphabet intelligence agencies are collectively complicit in the 9/11 attack because of their deliberate sins of omission.
FBI and CIA fight it out over who was to blame for September 11 blunders….

I completely understand.
But one thing that bothers me is that fact that NIST will not release their FEA model to the public for peer review. I know there are a lot of missing elements missing in that model. I do have FEA experience.

Well, I'll have to look them up. On the contrary I've seen a couple of engineering seminars by structural engineers that specialize in high rises with a lot of unanswered questions who are very skeptical of the NIST narrative.

Just my opinion and I've already said it in this thread if it was an inside job which I think is more probable than not, was not pulled off by U.S. intelligence. More than likely foreign intelligence with maybe a couple of U.S. intelligence persons with knowledge. And how do you keep this quiet? Silos. One intelligence silo as no idea what the other is up to and the people within each silo keep quiet like their lives depend on it, literally.
Now with that said there is the theory about the Israeli art students in the towers prior to 911:

I want to state emphatically that I believe the OP is a legitimate topic of discussion. Yet after following these 911 debates for a very long time, I have come to the conclusion that endless debates over the structural breaking point of fire-damaged steel columns steer the conversation away from topics such as this:
Robert Mueller was the biggest obstacle for Sept. 11 families who wanted to sue Saudi Arabia….
There is your FREAKING conspiracy. Notice that any discussion about 9/11 on any open forum such as this very often degenerate into debates over the validity of directed energy beams, crisis actors, cgi, etc…
Yet the true loons in these discussions are the mindless drones who deny that the “official” 911 inquiry was a massive coverup. Again, having American citizens endlessly debate about how the various buildings fell on 911 is a deliberate and orchestrated stratagem to deflect from topics such as this:
What Was In The Redacted 28 Pages?
Prince Bandar
Bandar is the highest Saudi government official mentioned in the 28 Pages document. While at the time of the 9/11 attacks he was the Saudi Ambassador to the United States, his position in the Saudi Royal Family is much higher.
Bandar bin Sultan first came to public attention in Craig Unger's seminal work LINK ] House of Bush, House of Saud. Bandar was so close with the Bush family, that Barbara Bush dubbed him "Bandar Bush."
Unlike ambassadorships appointed in the US – which are strictly political or token gestures – Bandar’s background is much more complex and strategic.
Within the Saudi Royal Family, which is also the Saudi Government, there exists a family faction that is more powerful then the larger family. This group is called the Sudari Seven, which is made up of seven full brothers fathered by the Saudi Kingdom’s founding monarch and his favorite wife Hussa. The Sudari Seven are the full brothers who, along with their sons and grandsons, control the key posts in the Saudi Government, including the throne. Prince Sultan is one of the Sudari Seven and he is also the father of Prince Bandar.
Sultan was head of the Ministry of Defense and Aviation and later became Crown Prince – second to the throne – in 2005. Some of the Saudi nationals mentioned in the 28 Pages appear to be receiving funding directly through the Ministry of Defense or through its front companies.
Father and son (Sultan and Bandar) both held key positions in the Saudi Government at the same time and received promotions at the same time. It is valid to ask if Sultan knew what Bandar was doing and if Bandar knew what Sultan was doing. Since they are father and son, one would assume they likely knew. On the other hand, as they held different government positions with specific channels of intelligence flow, their mutual knowledge about these key events remains unclear.
From 1983 – 2005, Bandar served as the Saudi Ambassador to the United States. In this position, he reported directly to the King. In 2005, he was promoted to head of GID (Saudi Intelligence, like the CIA). This is the same year that his father, Prince Sultan, becomes Crown Prince.
The 28 Pages strongly implicate Bandar and his wife (his half cousin) in funding Saudi nationals who provided support for the 9/11 hijackers. While the 28 page document does not implicate Bandar in any direct contact or support for the hijackers themselves, it does show that without Bandar’s assistance to certain other Saudi nationals, the hijackers could not have completed their mission.
Bandar was also the person who organized the now infamous departure of all Saudi nationals in the US within days of 9/11, including members of the bin Laden family….
