Well, KJ, why don't you file a FOIA and ask for documents on who looked for explosives instead of petulantly complaining that no one is giving you answers. Bla bla bla and so on. NIST considered the possibility of explosives and concluded that it was not likely, after the fact. They also didn't look for hologram projectors, DEW sats, the abducted passengers, and many other things. Add those to your FOIA request.
I understand your lack of technical training prevents you from calculating thermal expansion. I understand your need for attention and your fear of postulating any testable theory that could be debunked but I don't understand your incessant whining.

Get real man. If I cannot insist something because I have no documents then neither can you. That is the point. You cannot say there were no explosives found because you do not know if anyone even looked for any. Got it?

Have you checked whether the towers were destroyed remotely by a giant green space frog called Martin?
Because if not, I assume we are supposed to count it as a possibility.

NIST did not do testing for explosives. NIST did not recover ANY steel from building 7 for testing.
Of course 9/11 being a criminal investigation every possiblity should have been investigated. Sure makes NIST look bad.

As regards damage you will see that Capt Chris Boyle says : - " On the south side of 7 there had to be a hole 20 stories tall in the building, with fire on several floors."
Deputy Fire Chief Peter Hayden said " Early on, we saw a bulge in the south-west corner between floors 10 and 13 and we had put a transit on that and we were pretty sure she was going to collapse."
Why do you cd a bulging wreck with progressing unfought fires ?

I don't expect buildings to topple over like trees, they are quite different structures. I expect them predominantly just to fall down but, unlike too many on here, I don't pretend to be a you-tube trained structural engineer.
Btw I don't accept that WTC 7 did fall that neatly

Well 2 good reasons. First as Chief Hayden stated they were afraid of fire jumping to other buildings. Remember they were running out of water and could not fight more fires.
Second if the building would have collasped on its own to the side that was damaged it probably would have caused more damage to other buildings.

You do realize this works both ways, right? You seem to have two very different sets of standards. One for the OS and one for the "truthers." How is it that you can petulantly insist that no explosives were found without your FOIA request?

If there were sound defensible reasons for hurrying WTC 7 along why not just be frank about it ?.
Thermate is a variation of thermite and is an incendiary pyrotechnic composition that can generate short bursts of very high temperatures focused on a small area for a short period of time. It is used primarily in incendiary grenades.

=Yes, go ahead.=
=Yea, well, the building is cracking, and bulging, we have no watter to fight the fire, we believe it will collapse.=
=OK. Listen. What I want you to do, is go in there with let´s say OH, I guess about 500 pounds of dinamite=
=What?? Say again, please, it sounded like you said take some dinamite into the building. Is that correct??=
=Yes, that´s correct. You heard me OK. I need you to brign the dinamite into the building, and place it next to the main columns=
=Did you copy??=
=Hello??=
=Anybody there??=
