Maybe it was building 6 I was thinking of when I recalled a story about a building being deliberately demolished, in the aftermath of 9-11. Regardless, I was wrong when I said they demolished building 7 that did, in fact, fall on 9-11. The only problem is that it's nearly impossible to find any website to get a verifiable citation because Google is ing clogged with a metric--ton of this god-damned, mothering truther bull!
You're replying with a citation from one such website and so concludes our discussion while I seek a more stimulating intellectual discourse, replete with cold, hard facts and absent of untethered conjecture in any form, by slamming my head repeatedly in a ing car door. |
Here, let me help you out with that:

| quote: | The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released its long-awaited report on the collapse of World Trade 7 following the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. "Our take-home message today is that the reason for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 is no longer a mystery," NIST lead investigator Shyam Sunder told journalists at this morning's press conference in Gaithersburg, Md. "WTC 7 collapsed because of fires fueled by office furnishings. It did not collapse from explosives or from diesel fuel fires."
Conspiracy theorists have long pointed to the collapse of the 47-story structure as key evidence that the U.S. government orchestrated or abetted the 9/11 attacks. No planes struck the building, and the commonly available views of the exterior didn't show significant damage. Yet, at 5:20 pm, 7 hours after the collapse of the Twin Towers (WTC 1 and 2), WTC 7 rapidly fell in on itself. Since WTC 7 housed Secret Service and CIA offices, conspiracy theorists claimed that the building was destroyed in a controlled demolition in order to obliterate evidence of the U.S. government's complicity in the terrorist attacks. "It is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved," stated actress and TV personality Rosie O'Donnell of ABC's The View in March 2007. "For the first time in history, steel was melted by fire. It is physically impossible," she said.
Today's report confirms that a fire was, indeed, the cause. "This is the first time that we are aware of, that a building taller than about 15 stories has collapsed primarily due to fires," Sunder told reporters at the press conference. "What we found was that uncontrolled building fires--similar to fires experienced in other tall buildings--caused an extraordinary event, the collapse of WTC7." The unprecedented nature of the event means that understanding the precise mechanism of the collapse is important not just to answer conspiracy theorists' questions, but to improve safety standards in the engineering of large buildings.
The final report describes how debris from the collapse of WTC 1 ignited fires on at least 10 floors of WTC 7 at the western half of the south face. Fires on Floors 7 through 9 and 11 through 13 burned out of control, because the water supply to the automatic sprinkler system had failed. The primary and backup water supply to the sprinkler systems for the lower floors relied on the city's water supply. Those water lines were damaged by the collapse of WTC 1 and 2. These uncontrolled fires in WTC 7 eventually spread to the northeast part of the building, where the collapse began.

So apparently it wasn't a conspiracy, just a poorly designed building taken out by a fire. |

I should have thought of that because, now, I remember Popular Mechanics did a huge rebuttal of the truther arguments, a while back. Thanks.
OMFG! I'm a ing idiot, tadoy! |

I'm not going to state anything about 9/11, but i am interested in the truth. Point me into the direction i need to.
Also, i want to know PKCs opinion. Seems he's revered here for a theory. If you don't mind PKC, give me a run down or a link from another forum.

Your thoughts were exactly the same a that Dutch demolition expert. He also believed other buildings got demolished later.
When I look at some Airplane crash investigations on Discovery then sometimes I'm very impressed in what they were able to find as cause for accidents. Most of the times they explain it that well that there is very little space for other causes. In this case in my opinion there is space left. I think is't interesting, but at the same time realize far worse things happen like the earthquake in Pakistan and Kashmir where in 2005 74,000 people died.
Don't damage that door.
These videos I think were interesting, but I don't know if these were the ones I saw first. Strange yes, prove anything, no, it's not enough for that, but witnesses also don't make it clear:

| My father is an engineer with a doctorate in concrete and several years of research in the subject. I never got deep into the subject, but he said that the planes would be more than adequate to cause the buildings collapse. Yet again, RIP all the people and my condolences to the families. |

danny jowenko was not a demolitions expert. Which you would know had you actually done the due diligence. |

19 islamic terrorists crashed 4 planes, 3 into buildings. towers 1 & 2 collapsed due to many factors, primarily fire (fireproofing was weakened in initial explosion) and damage, where the building could no longer distribute the loads required to remain standing. The fire drastically reduced the strength of the steel in the building. The collapse of 1 &/or 2 took a huge chunk out of 7 and started a fire. Building 7 burned for approx. 7 hours and then collapsed, the primary reason being the unfought fires which caused thermal expansion and a primary column of the building gave way (forget which column) which caused a catastrophic failure. Flight 77 was crashed into the pentagon. When passengers on flight 93 learned what the hijackers had in store for them (the likely targets would have been the capitol or white house), they made an effort to take back the plane, and it crashed in a field. The ensuing investigation was the largest forensic investigation in the nation’s history, and included thousands of personnel from various private and public agencies.
That’s about it. All very simple and substantiated by the evidence. The fantastic theories that float around are nonsense peddled by people with brain injuries and poor hygiene. |
