Information on Scientific Errors made by NIST in its Final Report
on the Collapse of the World Trade Center Towers
In his book, The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7: Why the Final Official Report about 9/11 is Unscientific and False, Dr. David Ray Griffin asserts that NIST violated the following scientific principles in its investigation. Specifically, NIST:
- Began with the most unlikely hypothesis.
- Ignored extraordinarily strong and relevant physical evidence.
- Drew conclusions that violated fundamental laws of physics.
- Allowed extra-scientific considerations to determine its conclusions.
- Created alternative arguments not supported by the scientific facts (“straw-man arguments”).
- Did not invite peer review by the scientific community prior to publishing its conclusions.
- Has not made its data available to other researchers.
