Technical Resources for 9/11

[Arkan_Wolfshade]

Hoping to centralize were we can put up technical resources for research prior to them being compiled and/or added to current doc projects etc.

WTC Construction

Of course it's a pack of lies, but the official NIST site is here:

http://wtc.nist.gov/

Actual reports here:
http://wtc.nist.gov/reports_october05.htm

The companion reports probably have way more data on the construction than the greatbuildings link.

Waht would you define as "technical"?

Waht would you define as "technical"?

-Andrew

Facts, figures, FDR data, schematics, blueprints, topo maps, etc. Anything that is uncontrovertible.

I was just thinking about such a thread. Maybe sticky this one?

Sticky this?

I thought this was a good link on the Flight 77 Pentagon FDR data reading.

9/11 - The Technical Side
http://www.caddigest.com/images/blank_pixel.gifhttp://www.caddigest.com/images/blank_pixel.gif"Gathered here is a collection of articles about the architectural, engineering and related technical aspects of the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001 and the ensuing recovery."

http://www.caddigest.com/subjects/wtc/index.htm

A few dozen articles there, some on the obscure side.

Not quite technical, but certainly a resource, is the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's series on Flight 93 (http://www.post-gazette.com/headlines/93index9.asp) from 9/11/10 to 10/25/01. Some famed and often referenced articles here.

The MCEER reports are some of my favorite.

They disappeared for about a year- you had to actually purchase them. I had printed out the preliminary report a long time ago and it still sits on my bookshelf.
