Just a question...IF you are somehow implying that the workers that were inside of the collapse zone are "in on it" ... why would they tall anyone on their way out?
Firehouse: The building just south of that was the Marriott.
Hayden: Across the street. That�s what I was concerned about, that the fire would jump the streets. We had exposure problems, so Bobby�s function was just to contain the fire there.
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.

What were the workers in there doing? I can't tell you. Do you have a source so that I may look into it? One thing I can assure you is that they would not be planting explosives then walking out saying that there were going to come down.

I'm not doubting your claims about the workers. I was just looking to see what they were doing there. However, suggesting that there were explosives placed in a severly damaged burning building is not the theory i would go with. ( imo )

Ultima,
I really dont want to talk about that god forsaken Silverstein remark. Pull it is a term used to literally PULL a building down via cables. NOT explosives. This has been discussed so many times my head is spinning.
Building 6 was demolished via cables ...because they feared using explosives would cause more damage to the area.
If you are suggesting that the building was PULLED via cables, there is not one tiny shred or proof, evidence, witneeses statements...etc.. that back it up. Again, if you think a CD via explosives in a damaged burning building is possible....um... you should just rethink that.

I provided the photos showing the collapse of steel on the Madrid Tower.
However, the Windsor Building, unlike all the buildings mentioned above, was framed in steel-reinforced concrete rather than steel.
Excepting the three 9-11 collapses, no fire, however severe, has ever caused a steel framed high-rise building to collapse. Following are examples of high-rise fires that were far more severe than those in WTC 1 and 2, and Building 7. In these precedents, the fires consumed multiple floors, produced extensive window breakage, exhibited large areas of emergent flames, and went on for several hours. The fires in the WTC towers did none of these things.

You didn't read any more of my posts Redge, The man stated at approx. 1:05 of the video that he was working with a "Domain of Red Cross" people. This was not one guy with a Red Cross uniform. If this in deed was a "Back Op" person dressed as a Red Cross employee, why would he feel the need to look upset and tip off people that were around there?

To me, WTC 7 just simply does not add up at all, and I've come to the conclusion it was an afterthought, done on the fly.
First, if it was to have been part of the original plan, then it would have been brought down shortly after the north tower fell.

NOVA: A common misconception is that you blow buildings up. That's not really the case, is it?
Stacy Loizeaux: No. The term "implosion" was coined by my grandmother back in, I guess, the '60s. It's a more descriptive way to explain what we do than "explosion." There are a series of small explosions, but the building itself isn't erupting outward. It's actually being pulled in on top of itself. What we're really doing is removing specific support columns within the structure and then cajoling the building in one direction or another, or straight down.

And the Madrid tower. The steel in the upper floors did fail and did collapse.
