This article, written before the appearance of the analysis of Building 7’s collapse by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, was framed as a response to a supporter of the official narrative, Ryan Mackey. Mackey was one of a series of authors who tried to lay to rest the questions raised by the foreknowledge of the building’s collapse by arguing that it was, in effect, not foreknowledge but evidence-based prediction.

A more accessible and comprehensive treatment of the foreknowledge issue can be found in another article in the present collection: “Foreknowledge of World Trade 7’s Collapse: The Challenge to the Official Hypothesis”.
