Les tours jumelles du World Trade Center (9/10) – Les Rapports d’enquêtes scientifiques

Merci 25
J'envoie

Plan de la série « Les Tours Jumelles du World Trade Center » :

(le WTC 7 viendra plus tard)

VII. Les Rapports d’enquêtes scientifiques

1/ Les rapports de la FEMA et du NIST

Certaines personnes pensent que le rapport d’enquête scientifique (j’insiste, on en parle que de physique là) sur le WTC a été bâclé.

Il n’en est rien.

Dès 2002 est sortir un premier travail : le Rapport de la FEMA sur les effondrements des tours 1 et 2

Mai snesuite ets venu le colossal travail réalisé par le NIST en 2005 et 2008. Comme ils ont scindé ça en de multiples fichiers comme vous le voyez ici, je les ai rassemblés (mais comme ils sont très gros, ne les téléchargez que si vous en avez un grand besoin, sinon préférez le lien de la ligne précédente, qui ne fatiguera pas le serveur du blog…) :

NIST-0-Synthese (18 Mo)

NIST-1-Design-and-Construction-of-Structural-Systems (121 Mo)

NIST-2-Baseline-Structural-Performance-and-Aircraft-Impact-Damage-Analysis (130 Mo)

NIST-3-Mechanical-and-Metallurgical-Analysis-of-Structural-Steel (105 Mo)

NIST-4-Active-Fire-Protection-Systems (79 Mo)

NIST-5-Reconstruction-of-the-Fires (435 Mo)

NIST-6-Structural-Fire-Response-and-Probable-Collapse-Sequence (60 Mo)

NIST-7-Occupant-Behavior (5 Mo)

NIST-8-The-Emergency-Response-Operations (21 Mo)

 

En synthèse, j’ai aussi créé une version intégrale du rapport NIST en 1 seul pdf de… 12 000 pages, de 1 Go ici (mais je vous recommande de prendre les versions scindées, plus pratiques…).

2/ Liens recommandés

Enfin, je vous recommande les sites suivants pour approfondir (ou creuser d’autres théories conspirationnistes, c’est sans fin, puisque dès que vous démontrez qu’une théorie est fausse, ils vous en sortent une autre, de préférence sur un tout autre domaine de compétence…).

3/ Les études scientifiques

Rappelons également que de nombreux articles sont parus dans des revues à comité de lecture et n’ont bizarrement pas besoin d’explosifs pour expliquer les effondrements…

Jérôme Quirant, professeur de Mécanique, indique : « Par contre j’ai eu beau chercher, à l’instant où j’écris ces lignes, je n’ai pas trouvé de publication remettant en cause le schéma d’effondrement décrit ici dans des revues reconnues. Des papelards écrits sur un bout de zinc du balto du coin, ça oui, on en trouve… »

P.S. Suivra bientôt une étude sur le WTC 7 (plus courte, c’est quasiment la même chose, impact de débris du WTC + incendies), donc merci de ne pas aborder ce sujet en commentaires.

N.B. : les séries sur le 11 Septembre sont évidemment lourdes à modérer. Comme vous le voyez dans le plan au début du billet, ce billet s’insère dans une longue série. Merci donc de ne pas commenter sur de sujets qui seront clairement traités par la suite, cela fait perdre du temps à tout le monde. Vous pouvez commenter la série dans ce billet dédié.
