So what caused WTC7 to collapse?

Question

Ok, if the jet fuel caused the towers to collapse, which I do not believe, what then brought down WTC7 in your opinion? This wasn't hit by any jet there was no jet fuel in the building, so what caused every support colume to give way at the exact same time for it to collapse onto it's own footprint?

It might have had slight damage to one side but this would not cause every support colume to fail at the same time.

I have a life bud, you need to find out the reasons for this. It happened in your country to your fellow citizens.

@ stepanstas - Yes that is a very datailed documentary I have seen it but it's hard to get through to some Americans the truth about 9-11.

Answer 1

Damn good question. I live here in NYC, work about 500 yards from Ground Zero and, to me, seeing WTC7 fall like it did just didn't make sense.

First off, it came down about 5:30pm (give or take) and the fires, while unimaginably hot, didn't "transfer" from the smouldering bldg rubble over to #7.

Most puzzling to me is not the collapse itself, or the timing of it, rather that several bldgs that surrounded the complex -- 3 of which are still standing today -- were closer, yet relatively untouched. I'm speaking of the World Financial Center/Merrill Lynch bldgs. Why did #7 fall like a pancake, yet the Deutche Bank bldg -- closer, I might add -- the Marriott, and all others stay standing?

I, for a long while, was in denial about #7. By the way, it's NEVER discussed in NY, just so you know. But, while New York magazine did raise the issue several months ago in an issue, the #7 question wasn't delved into. Strange. While the pain has subsided somewhat for those here, these questions just aren't asked in normal company. Rightly or wrongly.

I did hear FEMA and the FBI had some of its NY offices there, which could explain some things.

However, and this is of course a yet-unanswerable question, but if it was dynamited -- and I'm not saying it wasn't -- how does a staff of people get in there, a hot bldg on fire, and rig it with explosive charges in front of a 1,000 fire and police officials. I just don't know, and I don't know if we ever will, frankly.

Answer 2

Do you ever remember before 9-11-2001 there was a company gaining fame for their expertise in taking down existing buildings with strategically placed dynamite? Sure, a building between 2 that needed to be taken straight down? Or a building next to a school that needed to fall left. Or near a restaurant district and the fallout had to go 'away' from that area. ET CETERA. Uh, I quit hearing about them, but there was more than one documentary.
And then theres a local company that uses dynamite daily, with a clearly visible semi loaded, storing their dynamite, and a year or so before 2001 ALL the dynamite was stolen-and that didnt make the news.Well, ok, coincidence.
But...what about a major city's newspaper pic of the owner of this company and Israels Prime Minister shaking hands?Well, ok, no relation between these things.
who knows? I dont. I just know that. Meaningless, meaningful...another wonder of the "world".
