this is what i was talking about earlier:
Depending on latitude and other variables, there are slight differences in gravitational acceleration. There is a table at this link that shows the gravitational acceleration of various cities including new york to be 9.802 m/s2.

if the link doesnt work, at wiki type in earth's gravity. it shows different accelerations in different cities.
In new york:
9.802 m/s2 would be like 32.158 ft/s2.
In the NIST wtc 7 report, it states that g = gravitational acceleration (32.2 ft/s2).
Thats not a big difference but when one converts 32.2 ft/s2 to meters, that would equal 9.814 m/s2. That is higher than the gravitational acceleration could possibly be in new york.
just some observations concerning nist and gravitational acceleration in new york.
im wondering if that would have any effect on their math?
