University of Alaska Fairbanks Study: Fire did not cause World Trade Center Building 7 collapse

Local CBS affiliate in Alaska reports on a University of Alaska Fairbanks study that confirms what thousands of architects and engineers have been saying for years

It’s been a point of controversy for more than a decade. Now, researchers from the University of Alaska Fairbanks are weighing in.

World Trade Center Building 7 was not struck by a plane, but collapsed hours after the twin towers on Sept. 11, 2001. A draft report released this week by researchers at UAF suggests that the fall was not a result of fires, despite the findings of the National Institute for Standards and Technology, an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, in 2008.
