You want to talk about any subject other than how the buildings were demolished and steel structure building do not collapse straight down from fires, anything but that.
As for personal attacks, are you talking about the person who name called first? Oh well one turn deserves another, yeah I'm capable of defending myself online. I bite back.

You can also point out to this clown that Silverstein was not the original winner in the bidding to buy WTC complex
It was Vornado Real Estate Trust which was the original winner Vornado could not come up with the financing
Silverstein could Also insuring the building Silverstein tried to low ball it trying to insure each building for like 1.5 billion
People fronting the money (you dont think Silverstein paid for it out of pocket, its called "leverage" where you put up some of the money and borrow rest from investors) wanted 5 billion each, considering how it had been attacked in past (Feb 1993) Settled on 3.55 billion each building

I DISTINCTLY remember hearing on Fox that the decision was made to pull WTC 7, before they pulled it.
Ive never understood the mystery about that. Nor the denial.

I was sitting on my front porch that day listening to news. I remember it distinctly. There was even discussion about bringing it down due to structural damage.
No I don't have a,source. Sorry. didn't think to it the record button at the time.
Reference to the saying "Pull it"

It means to take the firefighters out.....
If firefighters had the means required to implode a building in that short space of time we'd all be millionares....

Nope. not what I heard. They said they were going to bring it down because of structure problems and later I watched it collapse straight down, exactly as it should have in a demolition.
