Ok. So the impact of the planes and the resulting fires didn't cause the collapse. The previously planted bombs did. So answer me one question. The collapse started at the impact points. How did they know where the planes were going to hit in order to place their charges on those floors?

what's funny is that there is discussion with the engineers who designed the building, and they all agree that the building should not have fallen, the buildings were designed to withstand multiple impacts from the largest airplane at the time the building was built.

I think it would be more strange if you heard the engineers that designed the building say " Wow, that building we designed should have fallen!"

No question there. I was speaking of the twin towers, but if the government dropped the twin towers through the use of explosives, why worry about little #7?

But building 7 was not hit by any plane.
I think it would be cheaper to set charges than to pump fuel into the upper levels of a building and set it on fire. Plus burning those quantities of fuel would require the demolition company meet federal emission standards.

And if similar buildings should get demolished it is much cheaper to start a fire somewhere in the upper levels and the building collapses straight down without a controlled demolition.
Yes. I might remind you that the Titanic was designed to be UNSINKABLE. The Titanic sunk on its maiden voyage.

the fact remains the building was designed to withstand plane crashes.
