Yes, it will. (Though some will argue it's a very weak concession from UEFA)

The world is full of structural engineers who have seen the evidence and concluded such. The 9/11 collapses were, forensically, the most interesting event in the profession since Northridge. The vast majority that I know have read both FEMA 403 and the NIST reports at length, and discussed the findings at length. Who do you think wrote the report, you dolt?A structural engineer that has seen the WT7 collapse and heard/read the NIST report; that has seen the computer generated simulation and explanation provide by NIST - yet claims not to be in denial?
No you’re not in denial:
you’re a LIAR!
The longer he waits, the more lives lost. Simple.Lock the country down now - stop 90% of flights, cancel all events outdoors over 200 people and indoors over 50, close all schools put everyone who can on home working and introduce a 'social gap' so keep a metre away from everyone else ... go balls out stop pissing about this is now very real ask any doctor from Italy.
Put it up.
Molten iron is one thing but liquid iron bubbling at its boiling point is quite another.
The NIST WT7 collapse simulation doesn’t come close to resembling the real collapse never mind explaining it and the NIST simulation of the tower 1 collapse leaves the core of the building intact as it could not explain the cause so ducked it- as if it would somehow go away.
Put it up or shut up!
Also according to L'Equipe.Apparently there will be an announcement soon saying the Euros will be pushed back to 2021. Or that's the twitter buzz at least.
"For the health and safety of all, we are cancelling the 2022 World Cup 32 months in advance because holy shit its in fucking Qatar in December how dumb is that. Oh ya and Covid-19."Probably the most sensible thing to do alongside cancelling the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Have you studied medicine/biology/biostatistics or something? I've been predicting the rate myself using a naive model with slight expansions over the last two weeks (because the government hasn't made their own methods accessible). The naive algorithm is obviously just arithmetic with R0, current total cases and generation interval, but as info regarding geographic distribution has become more common with enough cases to make a statistically significant difference, I started multiplying the per-case reproduction by a weight vector including local population density.No 2pm announcement? Its around this point I would be expecting to see the first 100 new cases reported.

WTC 7 collapsed due to connection failure induced by disproportionate thermal expansion along long span gravity beams connecting to gravity columns. The connection failures in turn induced buckling failure of critical interior columns due to great increase of the unbranded length of the wide flange columns in compression. The progressive failure then spread through the structure as the first failed column pulled floor framing members down with it, inducing buckling failure due to increase of unbraced length of adjacent columns and so on.
If you actually understood how a structure is designed and load path detailed, reading the NIST reports make it plainly obvious why the collapse of WTC7 occured. Few elements in a building structure are explicitly designed to resist lateral loads (wind, seismic, and, yes, thermal), this is due to the cost of constructing properly detailed laterally resistant frames. Long columns, particularly wide flange sections (I-beams), in compression, however, require lateral restraint to avoid buckling failures. So even the gravity columns require lateral restraint, but, again, the connecting elements are not designed for lateral force. Nominally, the sheer resisting connections and the floor diaphragm detailing are adequate to transfer any lateral loads induced by torsional irregularities stemming from gravity loading into the diaphragm and to the lateral frames. But significant thermal expansion/contraction can produce forces that exceed this nominal capacity - these are simply forces that were not, and are not, accounted for in the design. This precisely why codes require that buildings exceeding specific width:length ratios, or dimensional lengths irrespective of width, are required to have thermal expansion joints designed into the structure. The requirements of these code specificated thermal expansion joints, even updated more stringent requirements compared to the codes WTC7 was designed to, do not account for day long widespread internal building fires - clients require buildings they can afford, not buildings that will survive armageddon.
Anyway - we've digressed enough, and I've completely wasted my breakfast break on your absolute nonsense. Either put on your tinfoil hat and go back to youtube, or if you really want to understand why WTC7 collapsed, go to engineering school.
Answer 1.Ask yourself the following question, and answer them truthfully:
1. If an organization had the power, competance and ruthlessnes to pull something like the attacks on the twin towers off and to keep it covered up, don't you think they'd have the intelligence to demolish the towers in a fashion that could not be "proven" to be staged by people like you and those that you trust?
2. Whatever you think their motivation was, do you not think whoever you think was behind it would find an easier way to get what they wanted?
3. Is a conspiracy the most plausible explanation? Is it plausible at all?
4. Is it possible that your "evidence" is wrongly interpreted or false?
You Havnt been to Merseyside recently then.£94 a week is not enough to live on in the UK.
You're literally too stupid for my time. Have fun on YouTube, tinfoil.Long winded claptrap!
Anyone who has seen the collapse ( and I saw it on the day), knows absolutely what they are witnessing. Explaining it away first as due to normal office fires, and later in such a pathetically convoluted way as you yourself have just done does not dismiss the blatant obvious.
Never mind the evidence that the first responders set a perimeter in place in preparation for the collapse they knew was about to happen - provable, and never mind the fact that the lease holder confirmed that he called for the building “ to be pulled” and watch the building come down - again provable.
Never mind the evidence indeed - just watch the collapse - it’s not a smoking gun - it’s a fucking confession!

I see no point trying to extricate the media from the government. The media - and, nowadays, the internet pseudo-monopolies, which means all the same people anyway - is the government and vice-versa. If the media conglomerates, of which there are really only four or five at the top level of the hierarchy in the entire English-speaking world, choose to combine their full power, they can guarantee any given sociopolitical outcome -- in exchange, the politico beneficiaries work for the business owners and their friends.Not one media outlet, not the BBC, ITV, CNN, or FOX; none globally have aired the evidence that is available and has been so for over fifteen years to date; not one national or international newspaper has presented the now scientific proof of government and military collusion.
The fact is that when the media won’t report in a reasonable and meaningful way - the evidence- it’s because the government and the media are in cahoots in some way with the real perpetrators!
Trust the media? Not a chance!
