Can anyone honestly explain to me why WTC 7 fell like it did?

Question

I'm not trying to agitate or anything...I just can't understand why it fell, when it had minimal damage and buildings 5&6 had A LOT more damage and remained standing. And, why did it fall free-fall like it did? Steel framed buildings with minimal damage don't just fall into their own footprint at free fall speed (unless of course it is a controlled demolition), except for on 9/11. Does anyone even remember seeing what the collapsing of it looked like? Someone please explain this to me and please understand that calling me a conspiracy theory whack-job does not explain to me why WTC 7 fell.

Answer 1

Because there was a bomb. And afterwards the government lied, and everyone sucked up the lies like good little citizens.

As far as 'debunking the 9/11 myth' goes, there are professional scientists that have made it their mission to expose the truth about it. But who wants to listen to a scientist when you can listen to a politician.

Answer 2

The building collapsed partly because of the impact of the planes, and mainly because of the fire caused by thousands of liters of burning fuel. The world trade centre was really just massive vertical steel beams, with the floors suspended from those beams. The outside shell of the building was not much more than glass designed to withstand wind am rain. When the planes eating thousands of tonnes crashed into the towers at 500 miles an hour they were able to easily penetrate the glass shell and impact the beams. The resulting fires would have burnt at over 1000 degrees. Fire weakens steel. Remember that a blacksmith using a wood fire can easily bend steel into horseshoes and swords, so you can imagine what a jet fuel fire which is many times hotter would do to steel. The cause of the eventual collapse was due the intense heat of the fires weakening the steel beams enough to cause them to buckle. As the towers collapsed debris set building 7 alight. A similar process to the main towers happened to building 7. There are even photos of building 7 buckling before it fell. If you subscribe to the controlled demolition conspiracy theory remember that to demolish a building it takes hundreds of men months laying out thousands of tones of explosives and many miles of wiring. This would be impossible to hide or do in secret. Nobody saw anyone laying out explosives and considering we haven't invented invisible explosives or cloaks of invisibility to hide the men laying them out it is impossible that their could have been explosives present. The towers were built to remain standing after a jet impact. They did. They fell due to the intense fires that followed. There was no thermite found, that is one of the many urban legends surrounding this event. Most peope who sa this don't even know what thermite is. As for debris being confiscated. First of all it was a crime scene and all debris was evidence. All evidence at a crime scene becomes property of the investigating authorities. Secondly as the towers collapsed they crushed and pulverized thousands of people. Their remains became mixed in with the rubble. This rubble was examined carefully over years for human remains to give their families something to bury. All human remains were DNA tested. It is so sad to think all some families ever had returned to be buried was a piece of clothing or a finger bone

Answer 3

when it was built, the mayor at the time had an emergency command center built in the basement. for it there were hundreds of thousands of gallons of diesel fuel for the generators. although the building received minimum damage, these tanks may have caught fire and exploded, causing the whole foundation to collapse into itself, which in turn would cause the building to come straight down. ironic, that the emergency command post is useless in the exact type of situation it would be used for.

Answer 4

If you don't want to agitate, why are you asking here instead of in engineering? Do you really think that this is a political question?
I don't remember specific film of WTC 7 collapsing. I'm sure thourough engineering analysis has been done.

Answer 5

Thermate and bald-faced public obfuscation/distraction caused the towers to fall. Look at pictures of the ground-level structure. Notice those sharp diagonal cuts and those drippy bits of recently liquified metal? What about the fact the temperatures under the rubble pile at ground zero stayed at hundreds of degrees celsius for at least a month straight? They found pools of molten metal not a few hundred feet from the few living survivors for weeks, go check FOXnews or CNN..

Answer 6

Yes, you are trying to agitate. Otherwise you wouldn't be here asking the same question that has been asked 234987239437928 times over.

Answer 7

Let me see. There were 2 planes that hit the WTC. There was massive heat and destruction. HMMM.

Answer 8

controlled demolition set in place before 9/11

Answer 9

For the same reason the other two did. A controlled demolition.

Answer 10

as per the 2 documentries that i hv seen regarding wtc i wud say it ws a controlled dmolition n ws done with the help of bombs in diff parts of wtc....
