The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), known between 1901 and 1988 as the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), is a measurement standards laboratory, also known as a National Metrological Institute (NMI), which is a non-regulatory agency of the United States Department of Commerce. The institute's official mission is to:
NIST had an operating budget for fiscal year 2007 (October 1, 2006-September 30, 2007) of about $843.3 million. NIST's 2009 budget was $992 million, and it also received $610 million as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. NIST employs about 2,900 scientists, engineers, technicians, and support and administrative personnel. About 1,800 NIST associates (guest researchers and engineers from American companies and foreign countries) complement the staff. In addition, NIST partners with 1,400 manufacturing specialists and staff at nearly 350 affiliated centers around the country. NIST publishes the Handbook 44 that provides the "Specifications, tolerances, and other technical requirements for weighing and measuring devices".
00:00 - WTC1 has been already hit and is on fire. 01:59 - Fire grows at the east face around 9:01:01 a.m.. People can be seen in some windows just below the floors with visible fire. 03:14 - Explosion at the South Tower after an aircraft impacted it. 06:36 - Zoomed view on the northeast corner fire at floors 80 and 81 in WTC2, around 9:08:47 a.m.. 08:10-08:39 - View on the south wall of South Tower lobby. Another and smoother one at 09:51. 08:51 - Looking up on the impact hole of WTC2. 10:35 - Eyewitness interview. Unnamed guy heard explosion from an elevator. 10:48 - Dwight Schaeff (?) witnessed maybe both plane crashes. 12:10 - Steve Hausch survived the plane crash while was late for meeting on 82nd floor (unknown tower, maybe WTC2) for about 10 minutes. 12:44 - Michael Morigi,...
00:00 - About 19 seconds after first plane hit the North Tower at approx. 8:46:25 a.m. Filmed from school yard of the Independence School (P.S. 234), at Greenwich Street. Recording starts at 8:46:44 a.m. Time uncertainty was assigned by NIST with 1 second for each CUMULUS clip. 01:48 - First and loud "KNOCK" or "DUP" noise. Comes maybe from the damaged building structure, either from the impact zone or Hat Truss region. For further similar noises in the time span between the plane strikes, see video markings 02:43, 03:00, 03:55 - 04:08, 04:42, 06:28, 07:17, 07:26, 07:54, 08:12- 08:23, 09:10 - 09:12, 09:20, 09:25, 09:31, 09:47, 09:50. 11:22 - Second impact missed.

In November of 2013, the California State Government Information Security Office hosted Kelley Dempsey from the NIST IT Laboratory Computer Security Division. Ms. Dempsey addressed ISOs from various State Departments in a discussion and training around NIST policies and standards. This is part 1 of a 4 part series.

NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator 2016 fire modeling software developed by NIST, was used to study the dynamics of a 2012 fire in a single-story, single-family residential home in Riverdale Heights, MD. The fire seriously injured two Prince George's County firefighters.
In the year 2000, the Phoenix Fire Department and the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) conducted live burn tests on four residential structures to determine how long after ignition a structural roof collapse would occur.
Daddy was always an honest man
He spoke with his heart and helped with his hands
There wasn't a stranger he didn't soon know
I watched him build bridges wherever he'd go
Daddy was a farmer, always out in the field
We never had money, but there was always a meal
He counted his blessings and the Bible he read
I'll never outgrow the words that he said
CHORUS:
If I possessed all the wealth in the world
It would not be enough to survive
When I look in the eyes of my children and wife
I can see I've been given the finer things in life
Now I'm a daddy with two little ones
The first a shy princess, then a curious son
Well, they never knew their Grandpa too well
But his message of love I'll continue to tell
(CHORUS)
