You say " the official explanation of WTC 7's collapse defies basic physics " but that just seems to be supported by you, a few truthers on here, and the motley collection that comprises AE 9/11t. On the other hand, to produce their final report on WTC 7 NIST engaged more PhD's than you can shake a stick at and the findings are supported by the American Society of Civil Engineers (some 120,000 strong) and the wider world engineering community.
Engineers (some 120,000 strong) and the wider world engineering community.
I think therefore that to keep going on and on about how WTC 7 "looked like a cd " is a largely sterile and pointless exercise and it is worth considering what other circumstances may throw some light on the matter.
You say " the official explanation of WTC 7's collapse defies basic physics "
like ignoring the fact that FDNY reported the building leaning, bulging and creaking long before collapse

So let me get this right. When someone from the 'main stream media' says something that you agree with, it is undeniable truth which cannot be debated.
When they tell you they were wrong, and that you are subsequently wrong, they are paid shills lying about it because they're part of the inside job?
This appears to be the logic you're using here.

I have not seen any reliable source for there being any additional worthwhile footage of the aircraft strike other than from the 9/11 movement. As you yourself acknowledged, there is simply too much outright bad information being put out by self serving con artists that the 9/11 conspiracy people are circulating to accept the claim at face value, and personally it doesn't make any sense for the Pentagon or anyone else to be training a camera on an empty wall. They're going to be training cameras in high trraffic areas like entrances, parking lots, and that security gate, so I don't see how footage of crowds of people staring at something off camera will be of any benefit to you. Not that it matters, as the Pentagon is in the middle of a dense industrial park and there were hordes of eyewitnesses who saw that it was a passenger jet that hit the Pentagon, so for me, this whole "what hit the Pentagon" debate is the same ridiculous "no planes hit the WTC" argument, but in different clothes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------
CHUPA CHUPS-Yeah !! and, we're talking about one of the most, if not the most secured building on the planet, yet only one camera covering that area......ok ,me thinks they need to be readdressing their security measures.....
Look I don't particularly want to keep going back and forth.....lets just agree to disagree !!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
2. WTC 7 .... Ok seriously, what can you possibly say about this ?
It is not for debate that WTC 1 collapsed and threw wreckage in every direction, and it is not for debate that WTC 7 got hit by some of it. Firefighters reported it started fires in WTC 7 which quickly burned out of control, and reliable eyewitnesses reported severe bulges in the side of the building as well as abnormal creaking. It's blatantly obvious the fires were causing at least some deterioration in the building, so if you want to insist there were controlled demolitions, fine, but I find it outright duplicious behavior for you to consistantly conceal and omit critical information like that in your suppositions, becuase you are intentionally prohibiting people from forming fair and balanced opinions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
CHUPA CHUPS-Why, is it not for debate ?......these "reliable" witnesses, hehehe, let me guess , the eyewitnesses that don't support your theory aren't reliable....no ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
3. Firefighters and Construction workers who heard explosions in the lower levels, including two who were actually hit by the blast, and your telling me that the building collapse started on the "ninety somethingth floor",due to burning jet fuel which distorted the shape and weakened critical joints which led to the pancake effect collapse, sorry I don't buy that, thousands upon thousands of bolts and supporting girders all give way at the same time.....
Every video footage of the collapse of the buildings show an initial loss of structural integrity at the point of impact of the planes, with a cascading chain of collapse as the collapsing wreckage crushed its way down the structure. This is an established fact and it is not up for debate. If you're attempting to claim anything otherwise then you are unrepentently lying through your teeth.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
CHUPA CHUPS-Whoa, easy boy, all this "not up for debate", thats a real easy way out for you isn't it, I have seen just as many "experts" go one way or the other on that theory of collapse....I DON'T agree with yours, ok.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------

...which tells me right there that the driving force behind your involvement ISN'T a serious inetrest in discovering the truth behind anything, btu out of some emotional attachment to a personal agenda, and any attack on them is seen by you as a personal attack against you personally. I will repeat this so it becomes perfectly clear- explosions down at the ground level will NOT cause a collapse in the upper sections of the structure, regardless of how much it pi$$es you off for me to point this out. If you can't get past that then nothing else this thread can add will even get out of the gate.

If they didn't blow up the lower levels, where would much of the towers gone when they brought them down?
In order for much the building to end up in the basement, as it it did, they had to had to make room, hence the explosions in the lower levels of the Towers.
Dave, you know all of this, why do you bother playing stupid?
NOBODY is buying your lies anymore, there WILL come a point that you will be held accountable.
When one enters into a conspiracy to commit murder after the fact, ignorance is not a defense.
With each lie you post here, you are sealing your own fate.

Of course, you are simply making this crap up off the top of your head as you go along, here. According to your fellow conspiracy theorists, it's a documented fact that much of the basement levels were relatively intact after the towers collapsed. Go to Dr. Judy Wood's website and you will see a number of photos of the sublevels. It's what she uses to base her "lasers from outer space" claims on- the upper exposed areas that the energy beams could target were destroyed but the subterranean levels inaccessible to the energy beams had (according to her) escaped with minor damage.
Since hers is a conspiracy site, I know you will find her sources credible.

This is the signature of someone basing their position on self assured blind zealotry, rather than out of any actual review of the facts, and I will dismiss it as such. For one thing, despite your smug self assurance of the "blatantly a conspiracy" you don't know who the people even are who'd be even accountable for the "blatantly a conspiracy". You don't even have an empty candy wrapper from the guy who drove the truck of explosives to the WTC, do you? No you do not.
If you people want to convince the rest of us that there's some conspiracy going on then it's going to take more than just a hell of a lot of make believe and conjecture on your part. Ignore that at your own cost.

Not that it matters, since thermite would be a horrible choice for controlled demolitions. It burns slow and you'd need a pile of sandbags of the stuff to defeat the battleship armor the support beams were made of, so this is more grasping at straws on the part of the 9/11 truthers, than it is anything else.
