Reply #109: What makes you think NIST hasn't?

[jberryhill]

First, I don't know why you think NIST investigators have NOT spoken to Hayden.

Second, I'm fascinated by your notion of "what the transit showed when". As noted w/r/t the use of transits during clean up to assess building stability, we're talking about a pretty simple use of a transit - point it at something like a window corner, and then check it five minutes later to see if it is still pointing at the same thing. That's not a "measurement" process - that's just looking at something, and he says that they saw the corner bulging.

But now you have someone not only taking down measurements while all hell is breaking loose, but recording the time. I doubt anyone was doing much with precision, and I doubt the episode will escape mention in the final report.

Why don't you just spit it out - a complex international conspiracy relied upon securing the cooperation of local officials who would be complicit in the deaths of hundreds of their colleagues, and Hayden is a lying corrupt bastard.
