Why a Collapse Zone was Created for WTC 7
No, they didn't. Even if some were concerned that it might, they turned out to be wrong because WTC7 did not collapse naturally. Instead, It fell at freefall speed due to CONTROLLED DEMOLITION.
That is why in various videos you see fire fighters warning people to move away shortly before the building came down. They had obviously been told of its imminent demolition. They would never have warned people to move away quickly if they had merely suspected it could collapse because they would not have been able to be so certain about when it would happen. They would never have displayed such urgency.

Hayden: Yeah. There was enough there and we were marking off. There were a lot of damaged apparatus there that were covered. We tried to get searches in those areas. By now, this is going on into the afternoon, and we were concerned about additional collapse, not only of the Marriott, because there was a good portion of the Marriott still standing, but 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. It came down about 5 o’clock in the afternoon, but by about 2 o’clock in the afternoon we realized this thing was going to collapse.

"A little north of Vesey I said, we’ll go down, let’s see what’s going on. A couple of the other officers and I were going to see what was going on. We were told to go to Greenwich and Vesey and see what’s going on. 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.

WTC Building 7 appears to have suffered significant damage at some point after the WTC Towers had collapsed, according to firefighters at the scene. Firefighter Butch Brandies tells other firefighters that nobody is to go into Building 7 because of creaking and noises coming out of there. [Firehouse Magazine, 8/02]
Battalion Chief John Norman later recalls, "At the edge of the south face you could see that it is very heavily damaged." [Firehouse Magazine, 5/02]
Heavy, thick smoke rises near 7 World Trade Center. Smoke is visible from the upper floors of the 47-story building. Firefighters using transits to determine whether there was any movement in the structure were surprised to discover that is was moving. The area was evacuated and the building collapsed later in the afternoon of Sept. 11.

Let's take a look at this video to see if you are right about WTC 7 collapsing at free fall speed.
It is clear that WTC 7 did not collapse at free fall speed. Now, provide us with the time lines where demo explosions can be heard as WTC 7 collapses and if you are unable to do so, you have lost your case.
