9. What IS Nico trying to say?
Edited on Sun Apr-18-04 10:23 AM by boloboffin
Nico Houts (ph): Hello, my name is Nico Houts. I’m with (inaudible). com, the (inaudible) World Report. Also other (inaudible) related research and (inaudible) projects like NY911.org or (inaudible).org.

My question’s referring –

Dr. Hill: For Dr. Sunder?

N. Houts: No, it’s the Q&A. Yeah – addressed to the NIST. I would like to show a picture.

Dr. Hill: Now is this a question or a presentation?

N. Houts: Yeah, my question is that I would like to find out why the NIST is not looking into the collapse of WTC 7 compared with the other creation details. Because building 7 was the only building, when it looked like this in the morning, less than this, which was ever created immediately. We know it was a military and CIA-connected building. We would like to have a very simple explanation, in 5 seconds from the NIST, why this building collapsed at 5:25 p.m. while it was not hit by any plane or destroyed by any kerosene inside.

Dr. Hill: So the question is –

N. Houts: And there’s three radios around which we can see on the internet, so this is clearly, there’s clearly public records available that this building collapsed within 7.8 seconds in its own footprint. Here’s the picture. I would like to have a simple explanation, of why (A) the major background of this building, including Black Stone, TOW, is not available, what they did in this building. (B) A simple explanation why this building collapsed within 7.8 seconds in its own footprints, and on the north side it’s burned only in two floors. I’m not talking about the south side, but the north side.

Dr. Hill: Shyam, do you understand the question?

Dr. Sunder: I think I understand part of it.

Dr. Hill: Go ahead.

Dr. Sunder: I’ll try to, I’m not sure I’ll get it done in five seconds. But we do have information on the plans and design and structural system for WTC 7. We also have detailed information on the fuel tanks in the buildings. These buildings, because they contained various functions, at the bottom of the building was a Con-Ed substation, and there was emergency fuel tanks in the buildings to supply for various offices that were in the higher, upper floors. There was a trading office, and the trading office needed continuous power, as did emergency operations for the City of New York. And there were oil tanks, fuel tanks that were in the basement level, as well as the different levels in the building.

N. Houts: Wouldn’t we call floors?

Dr. Sunder: Excuse me?

N. Houts: Wouldn't we call floors, (inaudible) the 8th floor? (inaudible)

Dr. Sunder: Yes.

N. Houts: But it was not the reason for the collapse. (inaudible) I would like to find out from NIST and from the 9/11 Commission (inaudible) are not discussed in public.

Dr. Sunder: They will be.

N. Houts: (inaudible) evacuated immediately.

Dr. Sunder: Thank you very much. We will fully report. We have begun reporting, and we will fully report on the fires in WTC 7, the causes of the collapse in WTC 7, as well as any other evidence from first-person accounts about 7. We do know, for example, that at some point in the morning, they’d given up fighting the fires in the building. And that was one thing we do know for sure. And at some point, another time in the day, maybe the power was shut off, as well. So, these are things that you will see.

N. Houts: 9:59.

Dr. Sunder: Excuse me?

N. Houts: Power was shut off at 9:59.

Dr. Sunder: Right. So these are things that are in our reports, will be in our reports, and will be an integral part of our investigation. So stay tuned, we will get more information as time goes on.


I have to admit I'm flummoxed by the "creation" talk, as well as the three radios line. Does he mean videos instead of radios? I can't come up with a way to understand the creation line.

Why does Nico think the "major background" of "what they did in this building" is unavailable? Isn't there a list of tenants somewhere on the web, which can be Googled to find out what they did?

Nico says that only two floors on the north side were on fire. Sunder reminds him that at some time in the morning the fire department stopped fighting the fire, implying that the fire was allowed to spread where it would.

It seems to me they spent at least five minutes trying to understand and answer Nico's questions. Nico's concerned about the lack of kerosene, but they point out the fuel tanks in various parts of the building. They also addressed the main concern behind Nico's questions - that they will be reporting in full on their findings.

If anyone can discover what Nico was trying to say, would they post it here? Thanks.
