- Damage starting at roof level....5 to 10 floors....near south west corner [NIST Apx. L pg 18]
- Large debris hole near center of south face around floor 14 [NIST Apx. L pg 18]
[just west of center*]
- South face damage, middle 1/4 - 1/3 width south face, floor 10 to ground [NIST Final 4-5-05 pg 15]
- Only damage to south wall on 9th floor at SW corner [FEMA Ch. 5 pg 20]

No debris damage to east 1/3 of south face was reported

********************************************************
In order for debris to get to the fuel supply
pipe (located 90' inside the building), it would have to
take out 3 perimeter columns,
bust thru 5 - 5 1/2" steel and concrete floors,
including at least 1 floor support beam per floor,
knock 2 elevators out of their shafts,
thru a wall and into the hallway,
take out a core column,
break thru a concrete masonry wall
and a 6" steel and concrete floor.
[NIST Apx. L pg 3 - 6]

There is NO evidence that this happened.

Smoke from a fuel oil fed fire would be pouring out the hole made by the elevators.

12:10 to 12:15 p.m.
- No fires, heavy dust or smoke were reported as they left floor 8
[NIST Apx. L pg 18]

Fires:

There was no fuel fed fire in the east part of WTC 7 where the initial event, that led to the collapse, occurred.

The east generator room was in the north east corner of WTC 7 on the 5th floor.
The supply pipe for the east generator room was north of the wall that is on the north side of the mechanical room, 90' from the south side of the building.
If the generators [and the pump feeding fuel oil to them] were running, the louver vents would be open.

If there was a fire in this room, smoke would be pouring out thru the vents.
