World Trade Center 7 Explosion and Controlled Collaspe Caught on Tape.

a reply to: Shadow Herder

Yep! "WE KNOW" :

It was clear to me that the whole of events on 9/11 could only be orchestrated by an extremely powerful coalition of insiders, even as the events occurred.
For those unable to see this, building 7 at the very least ought to raise red flags to the thinking adult.

But I logged in just to point out, that within 1 page, the discussion begun with the OP has been diverted to the tiresome "jet fuel argument":

No jet hit the building in question here.

Explosions.....?? I heard dull thud - right before the penthouse on the roof begins to collapse

Lets see - internal collapse . Figure that might make some noise

I think, honestly, there is at least a somewhat reasonable explanation for this.
Why not assume that, yes, those buildings were wired, but as a safety measure?
Perhaps this is a long shot, but to me it would make sense to have the buildings wired to demo in the event that their structure was compromised. The reason for this would be to, obviously, save the surrounding buildings from damage caused by a tower toppling over.

Not saying the whole event wasn't shady as hell, but surely the whole thing can't be that covert.

Wire building for demolition as safety measure......?

explosives, wiring and electronic components deteriorate over time - so who is going to maintain them

Also do you think an insurance company is going to cover a building full of explosives or the fire and building inspectors
are going to sign off on such a building ?

Who would want to work in such a building....???

There were explosions in Building 7 heard by many witnesses throughout the day. One such explosion is recorded in a video clip where several fire fighters are gathered around a pay phone calling home to assure their families they are alright. Suddenly they are startled by a very loud, unmistakable explosion. This is one of the Building 7 explosions that occurred long before it fell.
Shortly before the ultimate collapse of the building the east penthouse and the columns beneath it suddenly gave way. NIST (the government agency assigned to investigate the building collapses) attributes the collapse of the east penthouse to the failure of a single column, in a complex scenario involving thermal expansion of beams supporting the column.

But it is much more likely that at least two and possibly three supporting columns were "taken out" simultaneously. Three columns supported the east penthouse. One of our German colleagues has pointed to evidence that the east penthouse fell through the interior of the building at close to freefall, evidenced by a ripple of reflections in the windows as it fell. Yet the exterior of the building retained its integrity

Here is a good article about the demolition of Building 7,
We see the penthouse collapse first because it is built on top of the building's main support columns.
The penthouse's falling into the center of the building demonstrates that the integrity of these columns had been completely compromised:
an event which is intrinsic and exclusive to deliberate demolition.

Possibly, the interior columns had been cut with demolition pyrotechnics, and the bulk of the entire interior fell, thump, just prior to pulling down the rest of the building with it.

What we see in this video video supports that possibility.

Video #3 in the OP captures a very audible and powerful explosion. For a building that 'caught fire' from falling debris this explosion is so out of place. No wonder the 911 commission report utterly ignores building 7 - there is just no way they can fudge that one. Explosion. Free-fall collapse. Inside job.

Building 7 itself is hollow - there was a wide open space inside the building at ground floor level (atrium). If there were any explosives, they would have to have been placed in the sub-basement levels where the risers go into the bedroom foundations. With an explosion in the basement, the shockwave of the blast would have gone through the ventilation ducts up to the roof top. Going by the air-conditioning systems of modern office blocks, there can be two or three meter pipes going all the way to the top of the building. You can see that there was a puff of smoke from the rooftop before everything collapses downwards.

So, you're saying that a single explosion brought down building 7?

Some 185,101 tons of structural steel have been hauled away from Ground Zero. Most of the steel has been recycled as per the city's decision to swiftly send the wreckage to salvage yards in New Jersey. The city's hasty move has outraged many victims' families who believe the steel should have been examined more thoroughly. Last month, fire experts told Congress that about 80% of the steel was scrapped without being examined because investigators did not have the authority to preserve the wreckage. 911research.wtc7.net/wtc/groundzero/cleanup.html

The outcry from many who witnessed the events of that day, and the possibilities of answers from a forensic analysis of the girders recovered went unanswered by the hasty removal of key evidence. If tptb didn't want the public or independent researchers to obtain answers, clean up the crime scene and recycle or dump the evidence.

And here we are almost 15 years later.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I love you!

Right on, I'm right there in your same book, same page, same word.

You kick@$$ Sir!

How can people honestly think that falling debris and office fires destroyed WTC 7?? SMDH...

Jesus, the old rich guy even said in an interview that a decision was made to "pull it." The words came out of the mouth of the old dude who OWNS it.

The obvious exploding building is obvious. That, combined with old rich creepy guy's interview? Case closed.

Some of the posts in this thread are laughable, at best.

Let's compare that one boom to a real demolition.

Hmmm...something is wrong ?

Yes something is wrong.
I noticed a similar type of thing when I moved from City to Open country in Montana.

In your theory, it would be much louder, but two things.
1) They were not using weapons grade thermite on your building. Thermite is quieter.
2) In an open environment, the sound will not be muffled as it would in a place congested with other buildings.

Just as my loud exhaust was quieter with no buildings to reflect the sound.

Preaching to the choir here I'm afraid.

I've been saying this since I watched them over and over and over and over again on news stations the day of and the many months after.

Brought down by fire my @$$.

Anyone who believes that needs to study building demolition, specifically controlled demolitions.

Wouldn't hurt to also check out other buildings that have been struck by aircraft and the damages they suffered. Not one that I've found has even partially collapsed from an aircraft crashing into it.

The melting point of the construction-grade steel girders is 2,795 degrees, well beyond what jet fuel and the associated things being burnt in it's path could possibly heat the steel to.

Jet fuel cannot burn hot enough to melt steel. Well, to be exact, construction-grade steel melts at 2795 degrees Fahrenheit. That's a proven fact, as can be seen from the website: www.chemicalelements.com...

Video on one explanation: www.youtube.com...

Plus if a plane hit that far up, the building would have toppled, not fell straight down like in a demolition...so many people buy that bull$h!t theory...I guess the fluoride in the water is really starting to work along side our failing education system.

Oh, and during clean up, DAYS after the 'crash' there was *still* molten steel in the bottom floors....do the math over 2700 degrees, and held for *how* long?

Right, jet fuel. Whatever.

*rolls eyes*

Sorry for ranting - just so sick of people claiming 1+1 = 3,451 to the quintupled power by the root of 37.

Not only that but the "jet fuel" was hot enough to bring down two towers but not hot enough to burn convenient passports laying directly ontop of the rubble. And there's still no explanation for tower 7, as NO PLANE HIT THE BUILDING. It really doesn't get much more in your face.

Owner of the world trade center made the decision to pull the building after deciding that there were too much loss of life that the smartest thing was to help it down.

Some will say he meant pull the fire department out but NIST has confirmed that there were no fire fighting efforts at wtc 7, that it was evacuated early and that the secret service had secured it.

Video shows that WTC 7 was evacuated by 10 am.

a reply to: Boscowashisnamo

I live close to Mt. Vernon, Ohio. The CEO of Ariel Corporation has placed steel remains from both towers around the town as decoration. Big twisted steel beams all over town. .... does anyone besides me find this a little, sick? She's a very, very weird person but not just because of that, in general she's "off."

a reply to: Witness2008

Witness, even if those cows were on top of the building(s) and the populace watched them fall at free fall speed, they would still believe the OS. Shame really that some were so blind, and still are, to the Truth...
