Dr. J. Leroy Hulsey, PE, SE, introduces the WTC 7 Evaluation study to the University of Alaska Fairbanks Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers, October 15, 2015.
Professor Hulsey’s project is unique in three respects, it is the first independent, university-based modeling of the collapse of World Trade Center 7. This should have happened many years ago. But late is far better than never.
Secondly, it is transparent. Usually, scientists don't like to be looked over their shoulder while they work. But in this case the public will be informed and invited to interact as the project proceeds.

Thirdly, this project is crowd-funded. University research like this must be funded because scientists have to eat on a regular basis. Normally, university research is funded by grants. But this research may be the first case of crowd-funding a university project.
