In May 2015, a team of researchers began the two-year engineering investigation of the collapse of WTC7. Dr. J. Leroy Hulsey, of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and two Ph.D. research assistants partnered with
Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
“
We will investigate the collapse. We probably will not be able to tell them what caused it, but I could tell them what did not,” Hulsey
told MintPress in 2015.
The preliminary results of the two-year study have now been released. During an interview at the Justice In Focus Symposium, Hulsey said that the team has already investigated the official narrative that fire caused the building’s collapse – and they have dismissed it as false.
“It is our preliminary conclusions, based upon our work to date, that fire did not produce the failure at this particular building.”
The researchers are used finite element modeling to evaluate the possible causes of World Trade Center Building 7’s collapse.
“
I am approaching it like most forensic engineers would. We’re looking at the structure itself, trying to put together all of the details of what was available, and in this case very little was available. Because most of it has been destroyed or it’s locked in vaults somewhere.”

When their study concludes in April 2017, Hulsey and his team will allow a panel of experts to analyze the data and submit the study to peer-reviewed journals. The researchers are promising a “completely open and transparent investigation into the cause of World Trade Center Building 7’s collapse,” and will post every step of their scientific process on
WTC7Evaluation.org. The WTC7 Evaluation project will also include a review by a committee of technical experts who will vet the research being conducted by Dr. Hulsey and his students.
