Investigation of the WTC Incident

Tue Sep 17 15:09:29 2002
208.152.73.179

The National Institute of Standards & Technology (USA) has just commenced an
Official Investigation of the WTC Incident on 11th September 2001.
The Investigation will last 2 years.

Although there isn't much to see at the moment, you should bookmark
the following internet address for future reference -
http://wtc.nist.gov/

Here, you will eventually find some answers.

The remit of the Investigation is to examine the performance of WTC 1,
WTC 2 & WTC 7 ; I hope it will be extended later to include WTC 3.


Uncertainty with regard to the precise numbers of people killed or injured,
and the number who escaped, is one of the system failures we ourselves
will be looking at over the next year.

NIST and the World Trade Center

The collapse of New York City’s World Trade Center structures following the terrorist
attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, was the worst building disaster in recorded history, killing some
2,800 people. More than 350 fire and emergency responders were among those killed, the
largest loss of life for this group in a single incident.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has been involved since October 2001
in the effort to understand what led to the structural failure and subsequent progressive
collapse of the World Trade Center buildings and use the lessons learned to better protect
people and property in the future, enhance the safety of fire and emergency responders,
and restore public confidence in the safety of tall buildings nationwide.
