Both the towers were designed to withstand multiple hits from commercial 757's...so why did WTC building 7 that wasn't even close to these two buildings blow up into a fine pile of dust?
Not even the FBI or Official Story could come up with a logical explanation to why Building 7 imploded in on itself.
What's up?

Does anyone know why the government wont release the video's from the gas station and the hotel room that caught the pentagon being hit by a plane? When they release those videos, I'll believe it wasnt a conspiracy.

Who said the buildings were designed to withstand multiple hits from 757's? That's complete garbage.
The designers built WTC 1 & 2 to withstand an impact from a 707 (a common, smaller, aircraft of the time) flying slow, possibly lost in the fog passing over the city because the WTC towers would rise to an unprecedented height over New York City. The aircraft in mind would have been flying slow at that low altitude and would have been much smaller then a 767 or 757. The attackers used 767's that were heavily loaded with fuel for a transcontinental flight flying much, much faster than the impact speed the buildings were designed to withstand.
Building 7 did not "implode on itself". Tower 1 & 2 collapsed with terrific force weakening building 7 and its foundation. As the whole site burnt for hours and hours the building could no longer hold itself up and collapsed.

If you would take the time to watch the History channel and the discovery channel, that issue has been covered many times already. When the towers came down, the pressure wave caused the collapse. What do you think does the trick of sinking subs when you drop a depth charge??? You don't have to hit the sub, just get in the neighborhood and the pressure wave does the work.
Don't believe all the crap you read and hear on some of the blogs. If you watch how the people who implode buildings do their job, you will see real quick it cant be don't without everyone knowing it.
Also, even though the WTC was "suppose" to be able to stand a 757 strike, it was engineers who "guessed" that it could. But as we saw, an airplane full of fuel can bring anything down.

A correction is in order. The buildings were not designed to withstand the 757 since it wasn't even in production at the time. However, they WERE designed to withstand multiple 727 strikes.
As for building 7??? Still no real explination there from te Gov. but consiprac theorists do have lots of ideas.

WTC 7 did not blow up it collapsed. When WTC 1 and 2 fell it weakend the earth beneath it. The WTC complex is built on soil heavily saturated with water from the Hudson River.
I forget off hand which collapsed first 1 or 2. In any case when the first tower collapsed it weakend the earth beneath which caused the next tower to collapse. This collaspse then weakend the earth to an extent that WTC 7 crumbled.

Building 7 held a government bunker and alot of governmnet storage, No matter what happened to it, the fact that terrorist highjacked air planes and killed thousands is still there.
If you had secret governent buildings, that perhaps had secret labs and storage of high risk material, and that buidling lost all power plus lost all back up generators and the required temperture control could not be maintained,
And perhaps this building was already wired to destroy it in such a case ????
And the government will not and will never tell you or anyone that it did.
But in the end, it was the damage caused by the terror attack that caused it all to happen.

The building was seriously damaged on the front corner from debris. There were 6000 gallons of fuel inside the building that was for a generator. It caught fire and there was no attempt to put it out. That is more fuel than either plane carried. The metal fasterners holding the floors likely melted just like in the twin towers and the floors gave away.

The Boeing 707 was state of the art when the WTC was designed. The 747 was nothing more than a concept.
However, at the time the WTC was built Japanese Godzilla movies were all the rage. Maybe it was designed to be Godzilla proof.
Best of luck.

7WTC took a lot of damage from the collapse of 1 and 2 WTC as did every other building in the vicinity, the debris from the twin towers caused a fire in 7WTC by rupturing a diesel tank used by the building's boilers, the fire then weakened the structure of the building hence the collapse. BTW the new 7WTC looks really nice.

Enough the BS conspiracy theories. I'm sorry that you hate your country so much. It must be so awful to live in a Nation that lets you speak your mind, practice your own religion, and move freely without papers. It must be so hard for you to choose what to watch on TV without the government telling you what you can watch, or to have clean running water in your home.
Since you hate this nation so much, that you thin we would kill our own people, maybe you should consider moving elsewhere. I'll help you pack. And don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!
