The UAF study suggests a free-fall drop of the building's interior during the collapse of WTC 7. NIST's explanation focuses on progressive structural failure due to fire-induced thermal expansion. The question of which explanation is more plausible depends on one's interpretation of the available evidence and is a subject of debate within the scientific community.
Based on the principle that a free-fall symmetrical collapse is typically inconsistent with asymmetrical damage, the explanation provided by the UAF study may be seen as more plausible to some individuals. However, it's important to recognize that this is a topic of debate within the scientific community, and differing viewpoints exist on the cause of the collapse of WTC 7.

@BrunoParga I don't know if you consider the study of Alaska Fairbanks University as made by loons... You can be considered a loon yourself with this disrespectful comment. There's a group called Lawyer's committee for 9/11 inquiry making a real effort. But a loon like you will dismiss their work as loon 's work. So your comment makes any sense. It's not up to you to judge... It's up to the jury.
@MetonJoffilyMeToOns this entire website is predicated on it being up to me (and other traders) to judge claims.
@MetonJoffilyMeToOns as for the study, I presume you mean the non-peer-reviewed one funded by loons, whose "secondary conclusion of is that the collapse of WTC 7 was a global failure involving the near-simultaneous failure of every column in the building", which says literally nothing about the looney claim that a fairly large group of people with prior knowledge of Bin Laden's plans to fly planes into several buildings that day organized to surreptitiously plant explosives under a busy neighboring Wall Street office tower in plain sight of everyone and then carry out a demolition for no clear benefit whatsoever. Am I right to presume that?
@MetonJoffilyMeToOns also, let's keep things honest here; this wasn't a "University of Alaska Fairbanks study", it was the personal project of one dude who works there.
@BrunoParga man you are a loon 😂 let the grand jury judge! The market is about them having a chance to do that or not. Your opinion makes no difference.
@MetonJoffilyMeToOns I'm not even American and I object to even a penny from taxpayers being used to legitimize conspiracy theories.
@MetonJoffilyMeToOns it's interesting how you make zero effort to defend your lunacy on merit, when I – besides asserting the obvious, that y'all are retards – also criticized the theory on merit.
@BrunoParga you are the loon here. And your opinion is irrelevant because even the newscasters that day said the so called "collapse" is identical to a controlled demolition. Are they loons too? My god, anyone with eyes can see that the collapse was too smooth and suspicious. If will not reply to you anymore because you are being very offensive!
