Chapter 1 provides a starting point for examining the hypotheses of fire-induced failure and controlled demolition. First it reviews the history of high-rise building fires and failures. Then it examines the features that distinguish fire-induced failure and controlled demolition.
Chapter 2 provides an account of the investigations conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) with a focus on how their hypotheses were developed over time.
Chapter 3 provides an overview of the evidence regarding the structural behavior of WTC 1 and WTC 2 during their destruction.
Chapter 4 provides an overview of the evidence regarding the structural behavior of WTC 7 during its destruction.
Chapter 5 provides an overview of evidence showing the occurrence of high-temperature thermitic reactions in the destruction of WTC 1, WTC 2, and WTC 7.
Chapter 6 provides an overview of the analyses that NIST performed to support its hypothesis of fire-induced failure.
