You tell me that WTC7 did not get enough damage? .. please look at this picture.
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.

As for Building 7 and the evidence for Controlled Demolition, let's review the evidence...
What we do have for sure.
1) Fireman saying there was "a hole 20 stories tall in the building, with fire on several floors." "I would say it was probably about a third of it".
2) A laymen officer the fireman was standing next to said, "that building doesn’t look straight." He then says "It didn’t look right".
3) They put a transit on it and afterward were "pretty sure she was going to collapse."
4) They "saw a bulge in the southwest corner between floors 10 and 13".
5) Photographic evidence of a fire directly under the penthouse which collapsed first.
6) The penthouse fell first, followed by the rest of the building shortly after.
7) The collapse happened from the bottom.
8) Photographic evidence of large smoke plumes against the back of B7. Plumes of smoke so large you can't see the entire rear of the 47 story office building.
Lets also look into the fact... WHO,WHEN and WHERE were all the explosives planted?Just like those that think WTC1 &2 were a controlled demolition.

The government has plans for EVERYTHING.
Most government buildings are pre-wired with explosives in the event that sensitive material could be exposed.
We all know that many secret things were hidden in the WTC Towers 1 and 2. There was a secret mint and vault that no one knew about. What else could have been there? Not just in the Twin Towers, but in all buildings in the WTC complex. The government would rather destroy its secrets then let prying eyes see it. The government knew that firefighters or good semaritans would have searched the building for anyone hurt or trapped, and, because no one was guarding the building, could have stumbled upon anything in the building. They would rather destroy anythin (or anyone) than have their secrets come into light.

Guys, seeing that the building was not as much a key focus as WTC 1 & 2..there wasnt as much photographic and video evidence as WTC 1&2 . We saw the planes hit the towers... we didnt see the debris from WTC1 hit the WTC7....BUt we ehave SEVERAL eyewitness reports that say they saw a 20 story GASH in WTC7. What is difficult about the building is the way it was designed over the electrical substation.

Im ALL for a NEW investigation... the 911 OMMISSION was a JOKE. Thats where the TRUE conspiracy is.... what did Bush know...WHAT did he cover up.
I just think REACHING at things like... "The building was wired with explosives.... JUST IN CASE!"
I find it hard to believe that EVERY building in the country that may have sensative materials is wired with explosives.... where are the charges? Who has the controls.
WTC ...1,2,and 7 were all PRE WIRED? WHEN? back in the 1960's and 70's and 80's when they were built?? Was the WTC built by government officals? Do we add the Local Iron Workers Union to the ever growing list of peole that helped in this cover up? They would have had to have been present when these so called explosives were added to the columns. AND we have to add the asbestos company in there too... they would have to have seen all the charges prior to applying this to the steel.
Geesh

A typo. B-25G NA-96.
In any case, anybody who still believes that steel can melt from jet fuel, need to read a book Lab Director Kevin R. Ryan contributed to.
He was fired from Underwriters Laboratories for questioning the asinine BS idea that jet fuel melts steel.
To the guys that buy into that utter nonsense, how about if you get together, buy a bunch of kerosene (aka jet fuel), and try melting some steel with it.
Video tape the whole thing and post it on YouTube, and then all of your assertions will be substantiated.
Give it a try, but make sure to bring a truck load of coffee, because you'll be sitting there until you run out of kerosene.
What's more embarrassing, having a funny accent, or being a part of a society in which most people happen to believe that steel can be melted with kerosene.
No wonder that the rest of the civilized world looks at us like we're all mental patients.

However the WTC buildings were not pre-wired, more like wireless remotes and a very small amount of extremely powerful explosives that were very easily deployed in the time window of the power downs a few weeks before. Mini tactical 'nuclear demolition' munitions (hydrogen based) of less than a kiloton that were the size of a suitcase, back pack or possibly as small as a softball were easily planted and hidden away where no one would notice or find them.

No one has EVER claimed that the steel was MELTED.
The STEEL at the WTC was not UL inspected.
No one EVER said it was JUST the jet fuel that caused the WEAKENING of the steel.
I blame our failed educational system.
CameronFox, have you ever worked with metal? I have, and I know what it takes to "weaken" steel to the point of its structural collapse, and 600 degrees just don't do it, period.
Try this, if you have a propane Bar-B-Q, run it full blast for a few HOURS, and then see if the grill gets "weak", then come back and share the results with all of us.

What the heck?....
Do people even understand some of the claims they make?....
Any "nuke" will leave radiation behind....which means all of NY would almost literally be glowing green at night.... Most people would be suffering the side effects of radiation from nuclear material.... But i guess that's a conspiracy too...somehow "the government found a way to take away all that radiation"....
Anyways, i got to get to work, I'll expand a little bit more on radiation when I get back.

An atomic bomb is built based on very heavy elements, plutonium or uranium.
An atomic bomb also is very polluting, and it has a critical mass type explosion mechanism
which does not allow very small bombs or also necessary directed energy effects. The
energy distribution of an atomic bomb is also less suitable for the purposes used in the WTC.
An atomic bomb emits 50% of it's energy in blast force, 35% in thermal radiation and the
remaining 15% in various radioactive forms (initial radiation 5%, residual radiation 10%).
The use of covert atomic bombs in the WTC towers is an utterly hopeless idea, which is
why this evil young man misrepresents my theory so eagerly offering those A-bombs.
The hydrogen bomb is very different. It uses the lightest of the elements, like various
forms of hydrogen and lithium. It has very small minimum size, the cherry-size pellets
are typical in fusion energy designs. It can be made into directed-energy device much
like conventional military explosives. And the energy distribution is more useful, some
80% is in neutron and thermal radiation (and in this case, neutrons also use most of their
energy in warming steels and other hard targets). Some 15% goes to blast effects and
the remaining 5% into various radiations. In covert operations like the WTC the residual
effects of the hydrogen bomb are neatly disappearing into the winds and this process
can be speeded up with continuous spraying of water (which also is what happened).
Some of the tritium binds with oxygen forming tritiated water (which is less harmful than
the free tritium remains) and spraying will also get these lighter-than-air molecules moving,
out into the skies.

As for the delay in the seismic reading, I think we went through this some time ago.
There were several seismic stations at difference distances that recorded what happened that day. The farther away the seismic station the more delay there will be in the seismic signature of the crash of the planes.
Unless you or someone else now wants to claim that such a delay is "also a conspiracy"....
