See the little picture posted above with marker Controlled Demolition, Inc.? I was the owner's Project Engineer on that little demo. One of 254 I did, everything from that size to little storage sheds, not once did someone say "pull it" unless they were sticking out there finger.

First let me mention that the original 9-11 commission report didn't even bother to include wtc7. According to witness Barry Jennings there were bodies that they had to step over to get out of the building. Anyways, I found some pictures that may shed some light.
First is the map of wtc complex, note that wtc7 is behind 2 other
buildings -wtc 5 and wtc 6.

For debris from the north tower to have hit wtc7 it would also have hit wtc 5 and wtc 6. The next picture from near the site of the north tower shows wtc 7 behind 5&6. Examine the damage to each.

Why didn't 5 & 6 collapse? No doubt they took a substantially harder hit that #7. Finally here's another picture of wtc7 early in the afternoon.

Though we cannot see the right or SE corner there is no other
damage visible. Yes, the SE corner did get hit, basically knocking off the exterior wall for several stories. This does not necessarily imply real structural damage to the support structure. There are reports from firemen stating that the building looked "tilted". With some of the corner missing yes it would look tilted, not only that but the building design was not rectangular and given the distortion of looking up at a tall building it easy to see why they might have thought what they did look tilted.
If that damage were the primary cause of collapse then the
building should have collapsed TOWARDS the damaged side. It
didn't, it came straight down. Something only possible though
controlled demolition.

FEMA confused Monday and Tuesday with Tuesday and Wednesday
"Pull It" is not a term used in demolition.

To confirm, the Herald called the Kenney home on Cape Cod and spoke to Kenney's wife, who said that her husband did go to New York on Sept. 11, not Sept. 10. She explained that he was under extreme stress when Rather interviewed him, and added wryly that it was typical of her husband to confuse dates.

Hey Preston that was so kind of you. i still don't know how to embed images - I thought I followed the directions. So exactly what do you have put before and after the image url to make it work? I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me. thanks.
