Posted this earlier, Demolitions expert says without a doubt the collapse of World Trade Center 7 was a controlled collapse

like a directed energy weapon which can target the insides of a structure and collapse it.

One could just as truthfully say it was aliens, or UFO's even - remember someone showed a video containing a UFO over wtc 7!

Or you could say it fell over all by itself, but I doubt anyone would ever believe you. There is no reasonable explanation for the falling down of the building other than its purpose. .. . . What was in building 7 that needed getting rid of? Follow the breadcrumbs and the money trail. . . . .

Controlled demolition experts says no doubt it was a controlled demolition.

You tell us. They needed to get rid of what? So who did it? How many people were involved? Why such a complex plan for the removal of one building?

2 words. manhattan project. huge secrets can and have been kept
They were not kept, the Russians knew exactly what they were doing there - ever heard of Morris Cohen, Klaus Fuchs, Harry Gold, David Greenglass, Theodore Hall, George Koval, Irving Lerner, Allan Nunn May, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg?
And plenty of other governments knew exactly what was going on 9/11.
This post isn't about 1 or 2.. but... how could 10 to 20 floors cause enough force to demolish 90+. It can't. It's simple physics. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Even if you want to believe the "pancake theory" it doesn't work. It has been proven by people much smarter than me that if the buildings collapsed via "pancake", the entire thing would have taken well over 90 seconds. Not 11. Now of course someone will say "oh but there was so much debris pulling down the structure". Okay.. and how much of it was exploded OUTWARD during the collapse? A bunch. So now you have structure, using energy to eject extremely heavy steel beams. And you have the energy that is supposedly strong enough to collapse all the remaining floors, destroy every truss, every core column, pop EVERY rivet at almost the exact same time in order to facilitate a 10-11 second collapse. No. I'm sorry. I know I'm no physicist, but even I can understand that it doesn't work like that.

Apart from the severe damage to it, the unchecked fires, the fact that the FDNY had a transit on it and saw it was bulging, the noises it was making.... and that the FDNY knew it was going to collapse so they pulled out the firemen from it.
Much better to believe that pixies did it, or mythical beam weapons, or invisible explosives....

I suggest some simple research into what the building was used for as a start for some good batman detective work.

None of that can explain a building demolition, fires from where, damage from what, why the noises, what was the cause? Please explain in a rational manner?

Conspiracy believers keep forgetting that all the floors were identical in construction and load bearing abilities.
If floor 68 could not support the debris neither could 67.
This is one of the specific reasons no new sky scrapers will ever be built using tube in tube design.
Column 18 is the one that failed in WTC 7 and it suffered no damage from fire or collapse of the tower.

Suggesting dective work into what the building was used for is a good start, you may not like that i dont have all the answers, but every great journey begins somewhere. So think a little research may yield some of the answers which may or may not be there. Of course in dective work every stone must be overturned and looked under, wether insurance or security. A bit of Batman dectective work wouldnt hurt, actually if there was something to hide then a bit of detective work may implicate many so there may be alot to hide. . . . . Or maybe not who knows. . . . .

fires from where,
damage from what,
why the noises, what was the cause?
Battalion Chief John Norman Special Operations Command - 22 years From there, we looked out at 7 World Trade Center again. You could see smoke, but no visible fire, and some damage to the south face. You couldn’t really see from where we were on the west face of the building, but at the edge of the south face you could see that it was very heavily damaged. www.firehouse.com...
Captain Chris Boyle Engine 94 - 18 years Boyle: ...on the north and east side of 7 it didn’t look like there was any damage at all, but then you looked on the south side of 7 there had to be a hole 20 stories tall in the building, with fire on several floors. Debris was falling down on the building and it didn’t look good. Firehouse: When you looked at the south side, how close were you to the base of that side? Boyle: I was standing right next to the building, probably right next to it. Firehouse: When you had fire on the 20 floors, was it in one window or many? Boyle: There was a huge gaping hole and it was scattered throughout there. It was a huge hole. I would say it was probably about a third of it, right in the middle of it. And so after Visconti came down and said nobody goes in 7, we said all right, we’ll head back to the command post. We lost touch with him. I never saw him again that day. www.firehouse.com...
.Captain Varriale told Chief Coloe and myself that 7 World Trade Center was badly damaged on the south side and definitely in danger of collapse. Chief Coloe said we were going to evacuate the collapse zone around 7 World Trade Center, which we did. graphics8.nytimes.com...
The biggest decision we had to make was to clear the area and create a collapse zone around the severely damaged [WTC Building 7]. A number of fire officers and companies assessed the damage to the building. The appraisals indicated that the building's integrity was in serious doubt. www.cooperativeresearch.org...
Deputy Chief Peter Hayden Division 1 - 33 years ...also we were pretty sure that 7 World Trade Center would collapse. Early on, we saw a bulge in the southwest corner between floors 10 and 13, and we had put a transit on that and we were pretty sure she was going to collapse. You actually could see there was a visible bulge, it ran up about three floors.
Firehouse: Was there heavy fire in there right away? Hayden: No, not right away, and that’s probably why it stood for so long because it took a while for that fire to develop. It was a heavy body of fire in there and then we didn’t make any attempt to fight it. That was just one of those wars we were just going to lose. We were concerned about the collapse of a 47-story building there. We were worried about additional collapse there of what was remaining standing of the towers and the Marriott, so we started pulling the people back after a couple of hours of surface removal and searches along the surface of the debris. We started to pull guys back because we were concerned for their safety.
