Activity (Tutorial 6)
Source from WTC7 Featured Article: https://www.nist.gov/pba/questions-and-answers-about-nist-wtc-7-investigation

Scholarship: The article is from the NIST's investigation of WTC7 collapse or National Institute of Science and Technology, and would be authored by someone with high technical knowledge and expertise on the subject of engineering and structures

Author: The name of the author is not very clear as it is an archived article and its a Q & A and maybe represents the response of the overall organization as opposed to an individuals.

Independent Verifiability: The source, stems a lot from the post 9/11 investigation and it's subsequent conclusions therefore if you are to verify it independently it is possible.

Context:

The article can be considered relatively recent in terms of how far it was from the event as well as how far from the present. With 9/11 being such a recent event in terms of world's history and the massive trove of information and ongoing questions that are being answered such as how things happened and why things happened, this article is very relevant.

Intent: The article was intended for mainly the public with low technical knowledge, in order to dispel myths and give light to why the collapse occured.
