GAITHERSBURG, Md. - Federal investigators said yesterday that they have solved a mystery of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks: the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7, a source of long-running conspiracy theories.

The 47-story trapezoid-shaped building sat north of the World Trade Center towers, across Vesey Street in lower Manhattan. On Sept. 11, as the North Tower collapsed, falling debris damaged Building 7 and ignited several fires inside. Skeptics have long argued that fire and debris alone could not have brought down such a large steel-and-concrete structure.

Scientists with the National Institute of Standards and Technology say their three-year investigation of the collapse has determined that the building was the first skyscraper ever to be brought down by a fire.

"The reason for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 is no longer a mystery," said Shyam Sunder, the team's lead investigator.

Investigators also concluded that the collapse of the nearby towers broke a city water main, leaving the sprinkler system in the bottom half of the building without water.

The building has been the subject of a wide range of conspiracy theories for the last seven years, partly because the collapse occurred about seven hours after the twin towers came down. That fueled suspicion that the building was intentionally brought down in a controlled demolition.

Mike Berger of the group 9/11 Truth said he wasn't buying the government's explanation.

"Their explanation simply isn't sufficient," he said, arguing that there is other evidence suggesting explosives were used on the building. "We're being lied to."

Sunder said his team investigated the possibility that an explosion inside the building brought it down but found there was no large boom or other noise that would have occurred with such a detonation. Investigators also created a giant computer model of the collapse, based partly on video footage from CBS News that they say shows internal column failure brought down the building.

Investigators also ruled out the possibility that the collapse was caused by fires from a substantial amount of diesel fuel that was stored in the building.

The 77-page report concluded that the fatal blow to the building came when the 13th floor collapsed, weakening a critical steel support column that led to catastrophic failure.

"When this critical column buckled due to lack of floor supports, it was the first domino in the chain," said Sunder.

A spokeswoman for the leaseholder of the World Trade Center, developer Larry Silverstein, praised the government's work.

"Hopefully this thorough report puts to rest the various 9/11 conspiracy theories, which dishonor the men and women who lost their lives on that terrible day," spokeswoman Dara McQuillen said.

Sunder, the lead investigator, acknowledged that some may still not be convinced, but he insisted the science behind their findings is conclusive.

"The public should really recognize the science is really behind what we have said," he said. "The obvious stares you in the face."

Nero burning rome and ancient roman politics
Legend tells us of how Nero played his violin during th burning of Rome. Here is a look at the ancient roman politics which brought about this legend.

Perhaps the most famous of all Nero’s edicts, however, came after the great fire, with his anti-Christian legislature declaring Christians to be “haters of all men,” and treacherous villians who were to be put on public display and executed.

The great fire, for which Nero so quickly blamed Christians in the city, broke out the night of July 18, 64. It started among the wooden booths at the south-east end of the Circus Maximus and burned for six days before it died to embers, only to restart again. When the fire was finally completely extinguished, only four of the fourteen regions of Rome remained untouched by the fire. Three had been utterly destroyed, and the other seven reduced to ruins.

Though Nero blamed the Christians quickly enough, responsiblity for the blaze was a matter of some controversy for later historians. Tacitus, though he mentions the rumours of Nero’s involvement, graciously maintains that the origins of the fire were uncertain. However, none of the authorities who followed him were so kind. Virtually all of them blamed Nero himself for starting the fires, justifying their accusations with evidence of his insatiable lust for death and chaos and his search for an excuse to execute the Christians he saw as a threat to his own divinity as Caesar. However, in spite of his apparent capacity and motive for the act, there remains, to this day, no physical proof of his guilt.

After the fire, Nero ransacked his own provinces to finance the reconstruction of Rome, obliterating his now-fragile support among Senators, local commanders, and prefects alike. When vast sums of the collected money went to building Nero’s famous palace, “the Golden House,” popular outrage reached fever pitch, and Roman politics moved sharply toward bureaucratic rule free of Imperial involvement, and the line of Caesars was quickly deposed as a new era of Roman government began under an Emperor chosen by the Senate, rather than heredity. Even to this, Nero did not muster himself to act. Ironically enough, tThe only stand Nero took in his life was at his death. When Roman troops came to drag him away for trial, Nero took his stand by taking his own life.

The Rise Of The Fourth Reich

Everyone likes to say, "Hitler did this", and, "Hitler did that". But the truth is Hitler did very little. He was a world class tyrant, but the evil actually done by the Third Reich, from the slave-labor camps to WW2 was all done by German citizens who were afraid to question if what they were told by their government was the truth or not, and who because they did not want to admit to themselves that they were afraid to question the government, refused to see the truth behind the Reichstag Fire, refused to see the invasion by Poland was a staged fake, and followed Hitler into national disaster.

The reality was that the German people, as individuals, had lost their courage. The German government preferred it that way as a fearful people are easier to rule than a courageous one. But the German people didn't wish to lose their self-image of courage. So, when confronted with a situation demanding individual courage, in the form of a government gone wrong, the German people simply pretended that the situation did not exist. And in that simple self-deception lay the ruin of an entire nation and the coming of the second World War.

When the Reichstag burned down, most Germans simply refused to believe suggestions that the fire had been staged by Hitler himself. They were afraid to. But so trapped were the Germans by their belief in their own bravery that they willed themselves to be blind to the evidence before their eyes, so that they could nod in agreement with Der Fuhrer while still imagining themselves to have courage, even as they avoided the one situation which most required real courage; to stand up to Hitler's lies and deceptions.

When Hitler requested temporary extraordinary powers, powers specifically banned under German law, but powers Hitler claimed he needed to have to deal with the "terrorists", the German people, having already sold their souls to their self-delusions, agreed. The temporary powers were conferred, and once conferred lasted until Germany itself was destroyed.

When Hitler staged a phony invasion from Poland, the vast majority of the German people, their own self-image dependant on continuing blindness to Hitler's deceptions, did not question why Poland would have done something so stupid, and found themselves in a war.
