(23,872 posts)The NIST explanation has around eight floors failing just before the outer part of the building falls. That matches perfectly with the measured time of the "freefall" time.

(7,621 posts)As noted above, the collapse time was approximately 40 percent longer than that of free fall for the first 18 stories of descent. The detailed analysis shows that this increase in time is due primarily to Stage 1. The three stages of collapse progression described above are consistent with the results of the global collapse analyses discussed in Chapter 12 of NIST NCSTAR 1-9.
NCSTAR 1A, p. 45 (PDF p. 87)
So, as Bolo said, Chandler's analysis is consistent with the NIST Final Report explanation. It isn't a matter of "admission."
To be fair to Chandler, he was reacting to an earlier draft of the report, which didn't analyze the three stages. From that, apparently, Chandler decided that NIST was trying to cover up the existence of Stage 2 -- not that NIST had any means to cover up the existence of Stage 2.

(23,872 posts)No large explosive sounds associated with the collapse, for one. Any explosive device large enough to exploit the weak point in column 79 would have been heard for a mile. Nothing.
Thermite devices have never been shown to be effective enough, either.
Ace Acme
(1,464 posts)Would you claim that lack of audio evidence of that means it didn't happen?
Mr. Chandler claims he has audio evidence of explosions. I haven't investigated it.
Thermite devices have certainly been shown to be effective enough. Jonathan Cole can cut a substantial steel girder with 2 pounds of thermite.
Bolo Boffin
(23,872 posts)Seriously, the thermite hypothesis has to have the 47 floors falling into each other, too. So now you're going to explain why you can't find that sound either?
Is Jonathon Cole going to explain how the devices got into the pre-fab column sections? Were they in there the whole time? That seems unlikely.
And the "evaporated steel" mystery? Solved.

Bolo Boffin
(23,872 posts)What do you think happened if the 47 floors didn't hit each other during the collapse? They had to go somewhere as the building fell down. If not down and into each other, where?
Ace Acme
(1,464 posts)There is no audio supporting the notion that they hit each other in the alleged invisible collapse before the visible collapse began.

(7,621 posts)Bolo pointed out that the video was "fully in line" with the NIST Final Report's explanation, and you replied, "I think you're confused again." We've been waiting for you to try to back that up.
Ace Acme
(1,464 posts)NIST's report is "in line" with Mr. Chandler's corrections to the draft report.
Chandler forced them to admit to the 100 feet of free fall. At the same time, NIST removed from their draft report every instance of the claim that their analysis was "consistent with physicval principles".

(1,464 posts)Before that, Shyam Sunder had denied it was possible, saying (quite rightly) that would mean there was absolutely no structural support in the lower part of the structure.
Chandler informed them of his findings of freefall collapse, and they were forced to admit that was true. At the same time they removed from their draft report every instance of the claim that their analysis was "consistent with physical principles".
Do try to keep up with events of 2008.
