"WTC 7 explanation falls short" {Letter to the Editor of The Houston Chronicle}

After I read Friday's Page A8 article, "Sept. 11 building enigma solved in investigation," and reviewed the National Institute of Standards and Technology Web site http://www.nist.gov/, I can only conclude that the "final" and official government explanation of why World Trade Center tower 7 collapsed is a far cry from a plausible explanation.

WTC 7, which was not struck by a plane and had only minor isolated fires, collapsed in perfect symmetry at literally free-fall speed. Prior to 9/11 no steel structured building had ever collapsed or even come close to collapsing due to fire. The official explanation that this symmetrical eight-second collapse was due to "thermal expansion" of the steel structure because of scattered and isolated fires defies common sense and the most elementary laws of physics. The computer model presented on the NIST Web site does not even match the video of the actual collapse.

"Message from V" put together by the folks at Houston9/11Truth.

Houston has a great group of 9/11 Truthers. They get out there and hit the streets. They are active! A whole bunch of 'em came up to Dallas for the June 21st LOOSE CHANGE FINAL CUT film showing at the Lakewood Theatre sponsored by Joe's North Texans for 9/11 Truth. Jason Bermas did an excellent job of fielding questions from the audience at that film event where 250 people showed up.

Honestly, I do not know what to make of this. This is NOT front page. It is an onging collection of data. See my previous blog http://www.911blogger.com/node/16118 Titled "Next 9/11 in Houston ? ...War with Iran?"

This came across recently from friends: http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=126397

Does anyone have input (besides just speculations)? If you have a more professional view on this article with pertinent information, you are welcome to post something fresh on your blog. I only wanted to bring this up in case it is important.

EXCERPT:
"...WMR has learned that at a meeting of tugboat captains last week in Houston, the possibility of an imminent terrorist attack on the Houston port was discussed."

"Carnaby's belief in HUMINT as a determinant of terrorist plans likely caused him to believe that Houston was in imminent danger for an attack. WMR spoke to Carnaby's intelligence and law enforcement colleagues who share his concerns."

Honestly, I do not know what to make of this. I got wind of this article from a Houston 9/11 Truther. Personally, I am not an alarmist. However, I like to be vigilant. I don't have expertise on this kind of stuff. Does anyone have input (besides just speculations)? If you have a more professional view on this article with pertinent information, you are welcome to post something fresh on your blog. I only wanted to bring this up in case it is important.
