Chernobyl Times Report : Fueled by the white-hot graphite core of one of Chernobyl's four reactors, the runaway blaze burned at temperatures of up to 5000 degrees , or twice that of molten steel. The crippled reactor itself was unapproachable--too hot from the fire ravaging it, too dangerous radioactively. ''No one knows how to stop it,'' said one U.S. expert. ''It could take weeks to burn itself out.''
WTC: Firefighters have extinguished almost all but the last remnants of underground fires that have burned at the World Trade Center site for more than three months since the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.
Some 5000 tonnes of boron, dolomite, sand, clay and lead were dropped on to the burning core by helicopter in an effort to extinguish the blaze and limit the release of radioactive particles.

diesel also burns and if in containers they would make a good bang...
One more thing, I was able to find the video again of WTC7, where you can see that "it didn't fall as symmetrically as some want to make believe" and shows that "there was no demolition"....
Watch as partial collapses start way before the main collapse starts...

Demolitions don't do that thank you very much....
1. Chief Nigro (who was in CHARGE at the time): "It had very heavy fire on many floors and I ordered the evacuation of an area sufficient around to protect our members, so we had to give up some rescue operations that were going on at the time and back the people away far enough so that if 7 World Trade did collapse, we [wouldn't] lose any more people."
2. "7 World Trade Center was roaring. I remember being pulled off the pile like just before. It wasn't just before. It was probably an hour before 7 came down." –Firefighter Kevin Howe

3. Firehouse Magazine: Was there heavy fire in there right away?
"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
-Deputy Chief Peter Hayden /zwtrs
4. Q. It was on fire, correct, Captain?
A. Yes, it was on fire at that time. Then they said it suffered some form of structural damage. These things were going on at the same time. The fact that we thought we found Ganci and Feehan and his place at 7 World Trade Center. Made the decision to back everybody away, took all the units and moved them all the way back toward North End Avenue, which is as far I guess west as you could get on Vesey Street, to keep them out of the way. –Captain Ray Goldbach
graphics8.nytimes.com...
5. So we go there and 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. But they had a hose line operating. Like I said, it was hitting the sidewalk across the street, but eventu-ally they pulled back too. – Capt. Chris Boyle /e7bzp
6.Someone gave a Mayday. I guess it was someone trapped under one of the pedestrian bridges. We started to go under there to look. One of the Chiefs pulled us out of there. He said don't go under there. ..We searched that building and then we started making another move in and we got pulled out again, because I guess the Chiefs were getting more in control of the situation. They pulled everybody out of there. ...that was probably like four or five o'clock before we stopped. –Firefighter Todd Fredrickson graphics8.nytimes.com...
7. They pulled us all back at that time, almost an hour before it, because they were sure -- they knew it was going to come down, but they weren't sure. So they pulled everyone back, and everybody stood there and we actually just waited and waited until it went down, because it was unsafe. They wouldn't let anyone next to I guess the two piles, we would call them, where one and two was. We stood back. We waited. –EMT Joseph Fortis graphics8.nytimes.com...
8.We walked over by number Seven World Trade Center as it was burning and saw this 40-plus story building with fire on nearly all floors. –FDNY Lieutenant Robert LaRocca
graphics8.nytimes.com...
9. . ...Just when you thought it was over, you're walking by this building and you're hearing this building creak and fully involved in flames. It's like, is it coming down next? Sure enough, about a half an hour later it came down. –FDNY Lieutenant James McGlynn
graphics8.nytimes.com...
10. All morning I was watching 7 World Trade burn, which we couldn't do anything about because it was so much chaos looking for missing members. –Firefighter Marcel Klaes graphics8.nytimes.com...
11. When the building came down it was completely involved in fire, all forty-seven stories.
–FDNY Assistant Chief Harry Myers (Smith, Dennis, 2002. Report From Ground Zero: The Heroic Story of the Rescuers at the World Trade Center. New York: Penguin Putnam. p. 160)
12. The concern there again, it was later in the afternoon, 2, 2:30, like I said. The fear then was Seven. Seven was free burning. Search had been made of 7 already from what they said so they had us back up to that point where we were waiting for 7 to come down to operate from the north back down. –Captain Robert Sohmer graphics8.nytimes.com...
13. Then we had to move because the Duane Reade, they said, wasn't safe because building 7 was really roaring. –FDNY Chief Medical Officer Kerry Kelly.
graphics8.nytimes.com...
14. At this point Seven World Trade was going heavy, and they weren't letting anybody get too close. Everybody was expecting that to come down. –Firefighter Vincent Massa
graphics8.nytimes.com...
15. Building #7 was still actively burning and at that time we were advised by a NYFD Chief that building #7 was burning out of control and imminent collapse was probable. –PAPD P.O. Edward McQuade www.thememoryhole.org... page 48.
16. . . "We were down about a block from the base of the World Trade Center towers about an hour ago. And there was a great deal of concern at that time, the firemen said building number 7 was going to collapse, building number five was in danger of collapsing. And there's so little they can do to try to fight the fires in these buildings, because the fires are so massive. And so much of the buildings continues to fall into the street. When you're down there, Dan, you hear smaller secondary explosions going off every 15 or 20 minutes, and so it's an extremely dangerous place to be."
–CBS-TV News Reporter Vince DeMentri terrorize.dk...
"The major concern at that time was number Seven, building number Seven, which had taken a big hit from the north tower. When it fell, it ripped steel out from between the third and sixth floors across the facade on Vesey Street. We were concerned that the fires on several floors and the missing steel would result in the building collapsing." –FDNY Chief Frank Fellini
graphics8.nytimes.com...
"Shortly after the tower collapses, I don’t know how long this was going on, but I remember standing there looking over at building 7 and realizing that a big chunk of the lower floors had been taken out on the Vesey Street side. I looked up at the building and I saw smoke in it, but I really didn't see any fire at that time." Dep-uty ––Chief Nick Visconti

So we go there and 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. But they had a hose line operating. Like I said, it was hitting the sidewalk across the street, but eventually they pulled back too.
Then we received an order from Fellini, we’re going to make a move on 7. That was the first time really my stomach tightened up because the building didn’t look good. I was figuring probably the standpipe systems were shot. There was no hydrant pressure. I wasn’t really keen on the idea. Then this other officer I’m standing next to said, that building doesn’t look straight. So I’m standing there. I’m looking at the building. It didn’t look right, but, well, we’ll go in, we’ll see.
So we gathered up rollups and most of us had masks at that time. We headed toward 7. And just around we were about a hundred yards away and Butch Brandeis came running up. He said forget it, nobody’s going into 7, there’s creaking, there are noises coming out of there, so we just stopped. And probably about 10 minutes after that, Visconti, he was on West Street, and I guess he had another report of further damage either in some basements and things like that, so Visconti said nobody goes into 7, so that was the final thing and that was abandoned.
Firehouse Magazine: 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?
There was a huge gaping hole and it was scattered through there. It was a huge hole. I would say it was probably 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."– Capt. Chris Boyle

How many firemen brought cameras to the WTC?? Come on now. If you do ANY research you will know that the ONLY media that was near WTC7 actually SNUCK in and were pretty quickly REMOVED!
Are you saying these fireman, EMT's, Perimedics, reporters are all LYING?
Daniel Nigro was in charge... and HE ordered the evacuation of the Firemen from the area around WTC7... DId you know by doing this... they had to STOP the rescue mission from the debris of the collapsed tower??
So, If you are saying this.... Daniel Nigro (who just watched 100's of his brothers DIE) must be in on it! (along with the other fireman)
Please WATCH the video ( #16 on my post) that is a NEWS report. Listen to what the reporter is saying!

The most important operational decision to be made that afternoon was [that] the collapse [Of the WTC towers] had damaged 7 World Trade Center, which is about a 50 story building, at Vesey between West Broadway and Washington Street. It had very heavy fire on many floors and I ordered the evacuation of an area sufficient around to protect our members, so we had to give up some rescue operations that were going on at the time and back the people away far enough so that if 7 World Trade did collapse, we [wouldn't] lose any more people. We continued to operate on what we could from that distance and approximately an hour and a half after that order was [given], at 5:30 in the afternoon, 7 World Trade Center collapsed completely.
EVEN IF THERE WERE FIRES, THEY WOULD BE LOCALIZED TO THE SOUTH FACE ALONG WITH THE DEBRIE DAMAGED AREA SO THE TOWER WOULD TOPPLE OVER TOWARD THE SOUTH, NOT SINK INTO THE GROUND IN A PERFECT CONTROLLED DEMOLITION STYLE AS CAN BE OBSERVED HERE:

Think about it. If the south side was facing the collapsed towers. That area was filled with rescue workers NOT media! Firemen were trying to save their brothers that were trapped. EVERY fireman that was interviewed said that the fires were there. They were massive and MULTIPLE floors were engulfed. This is not my opinion at all... this is FACTS from 100's of eye witneses.
The point I was making about Chief Nigro was that HE ORDERED the building to be evacuated because he thought it was going to collapse. Here is an interview with him:

This man decided to give up some of the search and rescue of his own men! HE did this to protect the ones that were still alive!!
Please read it.... " It had a very heavy fire on many floors and I ordered the evacuation ...."
Chief Nigro gave the evacuation!!

[B]Explain to me how this building collapsed COMPLETELY VERTICALLY AND SYMMETRICALLY inside 7 seconds WHEN THE FIRES AND THE DAMAGE WERE ALL ON ONE SIDE?[/size=6][/B]

You say that the debris from the WTC and the fires caused by it Could Not have casued the collapse?
Well... so far all the evidence proves other wise. You claim that the building fell straight down in its path? There are witnesses that stated that the building "does not look right" .. "you could see it leaning.".. something like that... I will get the actual quotes from the EMS that were at the scene. There is actually photographic evidence of the collapse that shows the lean:
www.debunking911.com...
Please scroll down to near the BOTTOM of the site you will see a series of photos showing the collapse with the building actually leaning.
