DID WTC7 HAVE ENOUGH MAJOR DAMAGE TO CAUSE A COLLAPSE OR NOT?
If the answer to that was simple, I'd imagine NIST would have released a report on it by now. Correct?

The building fire alarm system [for WTC 7] was placed on TEST for a period of 8 h beginning at 6:47:03 a.m. on September 11, 2001. Ordinarily, this is requested when maintenance or other testing is being performed on the system, so that any alarms that are received from the system are considered the result of the maintenance or testing and are ignored.

After the initial blast [Flight 11 hitting WTC 1], Housing Authority worker Barry Jennings, 46, reported to a command center on the 23rd floor of 7 World Trade Center. He was with Michael Hess, the city's corporation counsel, when they felt and heard another explosion. First calling for help, they scrambled downstairs to the lobby, or what was left of it. "I looked around, the lobby was gone. It looked like hell," Jennings said

Explosions occurred in WTC 7 before either of the twin towers had collapsed.
Firemen evacuated the area as they prepared for the collapse of Building Seven.

Molten steel was found “three, four, and five weeks later, when the rubble was being removed [from WTCs 1 & 2],” Loizeaux said. He said molten steel was also found at 7 WTC, which collapsed mysteriously in the late afternoon
At that point he made some phone calls, and an un-named individual told them to "leave, and leave right away". Jennings and Hess then proceeded to the stairs, and made it to level 6, when there was an explosion, and the stairwell collapsed from under their feet, Mr. Jennings was actually hanging, and had to climb back up. They made it back up to level 8, where Barry Jennings had a view of the twin towers, both buildings were still standing. This is an important detail, as many debunkers have used Mr. Jennings statements out of context to claim the damage came to WTC 7 from the towers collapsing, not the case according, to Mr. Jennings.
The interview has been cut off where they say how they made it to the lobby, but when they did make it down, Mr. Jennings found it destroyed and littered with dead bodies. He said it looked like, "King Kong had came through it and stepped on it, so destroyed, I didn't know where I was. So destroyed that they had to take me out through a hole in the wall, that I believe the fire department made to get me out." Shortly after he made it out, he was seen on several news channels telling his story.

On the morning of 911 Barry Jennings with Mr. Hess, one of Rudy Giuliani's highest ranking appointed officials, New York city's corporation counsel, (Hess is a Yale and Harvard graduate, a lawyer who has represented the United States in numerous major cases).
It was just after the first attack on the North tower, but before the second plane hit the South Tower, when Barry Jennings escorted Michael Hess to the World Trade Center Tower 7. Mr. Jennings recalls a large number of police officers in the lobby of WTC 7 when they arrived. The two men went up to the 23rd floor, but could not get in, so they went back to the lobby and the police took them up in the freight elevator for a second try. When they arrived on level 23, at the Office of Emergency Management they found it had been recently deserted, "coffee that was on the desk, smoke was still coming off the coffee, I saw half eaten sandwiches".
At that point he made some phone calls, and an un-named individual told them to "leave, and leave right away". Jennings and Hess then proceeded to the stairs, and made it to level 6, when there was an explosion, and the stairwell collapsed from under their feet, Mr. Jennings was actually hanging, and had to climb back up.

Why would there be explosions before any tower collapsed to begin with? I think would be the pertinent question here.

A great question for a fire-fighter. There are lots of things that can go "boom" when you've got a large office building & 2 757s on fire.

It is clear to me that WTC 7 came down, not through some controlled demolitions -- but because it was overloaded with case files of ENRON, Haliburton, Carlyse Group, and about $17 Billion in a fraud charge against the Bush family on some phony bills that they were involved in -- I can't find the actual case right at the moment, but you should be able to find it on the web. But I was amazed that it wasn't front-page news how much they were going to be personally responsible for,... oh wait, no, since about 2002 I'm not amazed by anything anymore when it concerns our press in this country.
The number of cases against the NeoCons and their pet companies in that building, should have crushed it into dust years ago. We are lucky it lasted this long.
Do a search some time on the cases that were lost in that Building.
By the way, Guiliani was given about $100,000 in campaign donations to locate his Emergency headquarters in that building -- why would someone care that much that he put Emergency response in any particular building?

I wasn't aware of a large office fire and/or 2 757's on fire at WTC 7. That's news to me.
At least before any tower had collapsed.

it really helps to actually read the things that you yourself are quoting and responding to.
