Tower Blueprints
Surviving Evidence of the World Trade Center Attack
The blueprints to the Twin Towers and Building 7 remained off-limits to the public for more than five years after the attack, despite the fact that the buildings were built with public money and that the engineering drawings of public buildings are supposed to be public information. 1 Incredibly, the team of engineers from the ASCE that conducted the only investigation of the building “collapses” before Ground Zero had been cleaned up lacked access to the buildings’ blueprints — at least until they signed waivers that they would not use the evidence in a lawsuit against the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. 2
Whistleblower Releases Blueprints
In March of 2007, an extensive set of detailed architectural drawings of the World Trade Center became public through the actions of a whistleblower. The 261 drawings included detailed plans for the North Tower (WTC 1), the World Trade Center foundation and basement, and the TV mast atop the North Tower. The set of drawings does not include plans for the other six buildings in the World Trade Center complex. However, since the Twin Towers were of almost identical construction, it is safe to assume that the structural details that the drawings shown for the North Tower are largely applicable to the South Tower.
The drawings contain a wealth of detail about the buildings, including the dimensions of structural members such as the core columns.
Most of the drawings can be viewed in this multiresolution browser. http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/evidence/plans/frames.html

Is anybody able to tell me how thick the steelplates of the perimetercolumns were at the impact zone of the north tower. The problem is that some source on the net tell me that they were only 6 mm thick. This seems to be from m point of view a bit thin. I got only the results of fresh kills but not the original datas. If anybody is able to tell me the true datas it is the person who created this very good homepage.

Yes, that’s correct 6mm or 1/4 inch
And perimeter columns at that height were 9mm or slightly less than 3/4 inch steel in box

I hope this site is not dead. I wonder what happened to all the blueprints not included in the actual list at 911research? . I recently browsed the list to search for elevation and basement plans of the towers for a 3d modeling project and I remember many more drawings when i first browsed the list back in 2008.Would be great, if someone could provide some information about where to spot them.
Thanks in advance and regards from germany!
