WTC 7 was a mistake. You pose a good question. The only good answer I've heard is that WTC 7 was the headquarters for the entire operation.
Wrap your head around that.
Yours,
THE AQUARIAN 1
Thanks for your response but I cannot wrap my head around it.
If WTC 7 was " the headquarters for the entire operation " it seems to me to be very imprudent to cd it. That would tend to spread stuff, much of it
embarrassing, maybe fatal, over Manhattan and to what purpose ?
There was no need to destroy WTC 7 as a casus belli, surely the attack on the twin towers and the Pentagon was enough ?
Building 7's short list of tenants consisted entirely of government and financial institutions.
* Financial institutions
o Salomon Smith Barney (SSB)
o Standard Chartered Bank
o Federal Home Loan Bank of New York
o First State Management Group
o TT Hartford Insurance Group
o American Express Bank International
o National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC)
* Government agencies
o Equal Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
o Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
o Department of Defense (DOD)
o Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
o Office of Emergency Management (OEM)
o US Secret Service
o Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
The collapse of Building 7 destroyed thousands of SEC case files of ongoing investigations into companies such as WorldCom, ENRON, TYCO, investigating
the Califorina Utilities Swindle.....and MANY more......all accused of stealing BILLIONS....
...what was the outcome...were they punished?
If, as you suggest, WTC 7 was of some fundamental importance, then surely some cover for it's destruction should have been arranged. No perps with
any concern for their own skin could have contemplated a cd of an undamaged WTC 7 on 9/11.
so...according to your mentality.......they can train for YEARS to fly the airliners.....but the CD MUST be done in an afternoon
Is it not obvious that the destruction of WTC 7 was simply collateral damage ?
well then...maybe YOU should at LEAST **READ** the NIST WTC7 report
for they state that "collateral damage" played NO PART in 7 collapsing
in FACT...they claim that FIRE can't even be seen from the windows
[NCSTAR1A-3.2]"It is likely that much of the burning took place beyond the views of the windows"
pretty funny huh......yea...I think so too...
but, THAT'S not the funny part
7 did NOT have FREE FALL...
it had FREE FALL **ACCELERATION**
which means....as it collapsed THROUGH itself....it was GAINING speed
-[NCSTAR 1A 3.6]"constant, downward acceleration during this time interval. This acceleration was 32f/s^2,(9.8m/s^2), equivalent to the acceleration
of gravity.
This free fall drop continues for approximately 8 stories or 32 meters,(105ft.), the distance traveled between t=1.75s and t=4.0s.
Do I need to explain this?.....
I will anyway...
This says that at the time of 1.75 seconds into the collapse....is when the building STARTS to accelerate at a rate EQUIVALENT to the acceleration of
gravity.
and looking at the VIDEO....the time of 1.75s is when the kink forms...and when this happens...WE SEE the EVEN descent of the ENTIRE building....
and "even" has NOTHING to do with the horizontal plane....it's the uniformed descent, of everything at the time of release, with NO part falling
slower than any other part....for if it did...WE WOULD SEE IT.....cause it would be...
S-L-O-W-E-R
and NOTHING can NATURALLY fall FASTER than gravity can pull
So, at 1.75s and for the next 2.25 seconds....ACCELERATION through the path of GREATEST resistance
lol.....from FIRE alone that CAN'T be seen from the windows.
YOU also need to understand that the NIST HYPOTHESIS....and the NIST FACTS...are separate from each other
for their HYPOTHESIS IGNORES ALL found facts..on BOTH the towers and WTC7
take 7 for example....NCSTAR1-3 p.iii, 7.7.3..."NO STEEL WAS RECOVERED FROM WTC7"
HOW do you HYPOTHESIZE...steel, thermally expanding from heat and fire...which is what they say happened to the East Penthouse....ONE vertical support
fell it....in *theory*...
and in the SAME breath.....NIST....HYPOTHESIZES that ALL vertical support fails inside, in order to get the results that EVERY video show....the EVEN
GLOBAL descent of the ENTIRE building, as fat as an object falls....in a vacuum..
FEMA did a report in 2002, 'BEFORE NIST', and reported
Limited Metallurgical Examination.
Evidence of a severe high temperature corrosion attack on the
steel, including oxidation and sulfidation with subsequent
intergranular melting, was readily visible in the near-surface
microstructure….. A liquid eutectic mixture containing primarily
iron, oxygen, and sulfur formed during this hot corrosion attack on the steel.
The thinning of the steel occurred by high temperature corrosion due to a
combination of oxidation and sulfidation.
"steel members with unusual erosion patterns were observed in the WTC debris field"..."severe erosion found in several beams warranted further
consideration"
"Samples were taken from these beams and labeled samples 1&2"
A eutectic or eutectic mixture is a mixture at such proportions that the melting point is as low as possible
This sulfur-rich liquid penetrated preferentially down grain boundaries of the steel, severely weakening the beam and making it susceptible to
erosion. FEMA.C-2 Sample1
The severe corrosion and subsequent erosion of Samples 1 and 2 are a very unusual event. No clear explanation for the source of the sulfur has been
identified. The rate of corrosion is also unknown. It is possible that this is the result of long-term heating in the ground following the collapse of
the buildings. It is also possible that the phenomenon started prior to collapse and accelerated the weakening of the steel structure.

NIST was FORCED to admit....for there is NO mention of FF ACCELERATION in the DRAFT
The SAME people worked for NIST and claim that NO STEEL WAS FOUND.
are you laughing yet?
why would NIST rather LIE, than use a piece of THERMALLY affected steel, to SUPPORT their HYPOTHESIS of "thermally affected steel"
and THEN say..."what we have here is a brand new never before seen physics phenomenon"
ROTFLMAO
