ANOK, you are just simply hung up on your impression of the collapse of WTC 7. You obviously don't care that NIST and the American Society of Civil Engineers have other views.

OK prove to me that all four outer walls of a building can land ON TOP of its debris pile, in other words in its own footprint, from a natural collapse.

This image always speaks volumes. Notice building 3 did not collapse, look at it's placement compared to building 1 an 2.
WTC 3 (also known as the World Trade Center Hotel, the Vista Hotel, and the Marriott Hotel) was almost completely destroyed as a result of the September 11 attacks due to debris from the collapse of the adjacent WTC 1 and WTC 2. This chapter describes the structural design and construction features of the building as well as details of its collapse.

Simply have a look at the collapse of WTC 7. The penthouse falls first, followed by the rest of the building as internal support collapses. No demolition was involved.
As regards the point of this thread ; that the facts indicate that the perps (if there were such) planned for WTC 7 to be blown up without disguise you say " Maybe they were hoping no one would notice 7" and " other excuses would have been found ". You will not be surprised that I find that ultra lame.
It is alleged that WTC 7 was, along with WTC 1&2, wired for demolition pre-9/11.
However, WTC 1&2, were hit by planes which might obscure any controlled demolition.
This could not have been planned for.
The idea that WTC 7 was going to be demolished willy nilly in the cold light of day is absurd.

Perhaps truthers can come up with some demo experts who will say it is possible but it sounds like straw-grasping to me.
It was essential for the debris to just wound WTC 7 and not bring it down straight away because, if that happened, the rubble would be full of undetonated charges.

It was by chance that debris from WTC 1 damaged and started fires in WTC 7 and cut off water supplies. This could not have been planned for.
The idea that WTC 7 was going to be demolished willy nilly in the cold light of day is absurd. Similarly absurd is the idea sometimes put forward that the purpose of destroying WTC 7 was to hide secrets contained therein. Is blowing up somewhere and distributing stuff over half Manhattan the optimum way of dealing with secrets ?
Is it not obvious that WTC 7 was collateral damage flowing from the terrorist attacks on WTC 1&2 ?

Too bad CDers aren't more like you, otherwise they would stop saying such nonsense like "The steel didn't melt, therefore Controlled Demolition", or "The Buildings fell perfectly within their own footprints", or "The Buildings fell at freefall speeds". While they're at it, they could look up controlled demolition; Maybe then they'll finally realize that 3 or 4 flashes and 2 or 3 bangs does not a controlled demolition make.

C4 would normally be used i'm pretty sure which needs and explosive device to set it of as shooting it and setting it on fire will not set the explosive on off as it needs pressure and heat to set it off. This is why C-4 is the safest explosive to use as it is very stable and wont have an accidental explosion. Found that all out in 5 minutes on the net maybe you should do the same
