At 5:20 p.m. EDT on September 11, 2001, 7 World Trade Center collapsed. Since it had been evacuated, there were no casualties.
In May 2002, the Federal Emergency Management Agency of the United States (FEMA) released a report on the collapse. [3] FEMA made preliminary findings that collapse was due primarily to fires on multiple stories caused by debris from the other two towers, and not to the actual impact damage of 1 WTC and 2 WTC as they collapsed. The report noted that, prior to this collapse, there was no record of the fire-induced collapse of a large fire-protected steel building such as 7 WTC. The report did not reach final conclusions, and outlined a number of issues that needed to be explored with respect to the cause of the collapse. Specifically, FEMA made these findings:
“Loss of structural integrity was likely a result of weakening caused by fires on the 5th to 7th floors. The specifics of the fires in WTC 7 and how they caused the building to collapse remain unknown at this time. Although the total diesel fuel on the premises contained massive potential energy, the best hypothesis has only a low probability of occurrence. Further research, investigation, and analyses are needed to resolve this issue.”

Possibly.
For anyone interested in 9/11, the war in Iraq, etc., check out this website: http://www.wanttoknow.info/9-11timeline6...
Its a timeline of events surrounding 9/11 from the 70's to the present. Each entry is referenced by actual articles in the main stream news media. No theories just facts. Excellent reading.

Well, the best theory on the subject is that explosives, probably Thermate, were planted in the building (just like WTC1 and 2) prior to the 9/11 attacks. Nowhere else in the world has a building collapsed in this manner due to a fire caused by an adjacent building, and while scientists may be able to hypothesize on the possible causes and come to a relatively sensible conclusion, that conclusion is null and void because of the fact that the man who had the lease for the building ADMITTED to having it 'pulled'.

He probably did this for the insurance money. My money is on the use of explosives which were planted in the building secretly.

Not to mention all of the government agencies which had offices in the building.

The authorities didn't destroy the buildings, the terrorists flying the planes into them did. WTC 7 was demolished by fire, the fire chief called Silverstein to say he was pulling his men, Silverstein repeated it back and that is what was heard.
Only the seriously challenged believe any of the conspiracy theories. They have not one shred of provable fact and disregard all known laws of physics and engineering principles.

I doubt the truth will ever come out now its been so well confused and misreported to fit the governments agendas.
Why you believe what you believe
Experts on the human mind say that humans are convinced to believe things for four principal reasons:
1. You tend to believe most strongly that which you hear first.
2. If you change, it will most likely be to that which you hear repeated many times.
3. You next tend to believe that which you want to believe or that which fits your already conceived ideas or notions.
4. Lastly, humans are least likely to believe that which is logical and makes sense, especially if it contradicts what they hear most!
Interesting, isn’t it? Since the truth serves no one’s purpose and is seldom repeated, most people are left believing only that which serves someone’s purpose. By definition, that means they are left believing a lie. Unless you understand this and guard against it, you will be endlessly confused for most of your life.
And just to keep you happy, hear for your entertainment is
The biggest conspiracy theory of them all
The biggest conspiracy theory is that 19 Arabs, who had been under surveillance, conspired together, walked onto four commercial aircraft without being detected, and without having their names appear on a passenger list. Then that they could overcome over 250 people with plastic box-cutters. And not only that, but with no previous experience of flying large jets, they could navigate from 30,000 feet and hit three out of four targets precisely, meantime conducting flying manoeuvres that fighter pilots would find difficult. Then, the amazing thing is that 7 of them survived the events and are known to be alive today.
Also for the first time ever in history, three, not two, but three steel framed buildings collapsed as a result of fire which could not possibly have burned hot enough to melt steel, and caused the buildings not to topple over, as one might expect, or to fall a little at a time, but to fall within their own footprint at the speed of gravity. And one of those buildings (WTC7) was not even hit by a plane.
Not only that, but the four aircraft disappeared completely without a trace of their 16 large engines, or any of the black boxes. This has also never before happened in history.
This theory is so amazingly full of holes that it is impossible for any sane thinking person to believe, yet that is what the official 9/11 commission report.says.
"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false."
-- William Casey, CIA Director (from first staff meeting, 1981)

If it was demolished,i wanna know who the B/A was that walked through the building placing explosives while it was burning.
Wait i forgot about the eye witnesses that saw tons of explosives being placed in strategic locations before hand.
