Robert F. Marceau, with over 30 years of structural engineering experience: From videos of the collapse of building 7, the penthouse drops first prior to the collapse, and it can be noted that windows, in a vertical line, near the location of first interior column line are blown out, and reveal smoke from those explosions. This occurs in a vertical line in symmetrical fashion an equal distance in toward the center of the building from each end. When compared to controlled demolitions, one can see the similarities
Steven L. Faseler, structural engineer with over 20 years of experience in the design and construction industry: World Trade Center 7 appears to be a controlled demolition. Buildings do not suddenly fall straight down by accident
Ronald H. Brookman, structural engineer, with a masters degree in Engineering from UC Davis, writes: Why would all 110 stories drop straight down to the ground in about 10 seconds, pulverizing the contents into dust and ash - twice. Why would all 47 stories of WTC 7 fall straight down to the ground in about seven seconds the same day? It was not struck by any aircraft or engulfed in any fire. An independent investigation is justified for all three collapses including the surviving steel samples and the composition of the dust
Graham John Inman points out: WTC 7 Building could not have collapsed as a result of internal fire and external debris. NO plane hit this building. This is the only case of a steel frame building collapsing through fire in the world. The fire on this building was small & localized therefore what is the cause?
Paul W. Mason notes: In my view, the chances of the three buildings collapsing symmetrically into their own footprint, at freefall speed, by any other means than by controlled demolition, are so remote that there is no other plausible explanation
And many more links and quotes besides including some links to the people quoted.
So who I am going to believe, my lying eyes or the trustworthy US govt and it's adjuncts of hegemonic power.

Many are waking up to the reality that 911 was an inside job; however scary many deem it to be, that the U.S Government and Israel(Mossad) May have been in collusion to commit such an atrocity on the United states and murder 3000 innocent people. So they could justify going to War in the Middle-East.
Its just sickening down with the Government!

Yes, 9/11 was far bigger than it needed to be to establish a casus belli. Going out on a limb here, perhaps it was terrorists intent on inflicting maximum casualties !

Because of the Asbestos in the Towers would have costed Billions to fix the problem.
Larry Silverstien the owner of the twin Towers who signed a 99 year lease on the Towers just months before and reworked the insurance for terrorism.

Do you really think they needed to do that just to go to war? Don't you think if they had just dive bombed the Pentagon the US would have went to war? Don't you ever ask yourself why such a huge event? An event that captured the worlds attention. Don't you feel it was bigger than it needed to be? It's as if they wanted to plant a seed that people would not forget.

Then wouldnt you attack at say mid-day and not early morning?
Would you really attack a reinforced building like the pentagon to attain max casualties?

If you are going to take over the lease of a building, wouldn't you get it checked out before hand?
And if you saw it was riddled with asbestos, wouldn't you getting an evaluation on the cost to fix it before you actually acquired the lease?

these engineers are spouting the same naive arguments that have been torn to shreads right here on ATS.. amazing.. the first two are subtle opinions, but Brookman, Inman and Mason obviously do not have all of the facts, and have also more obviously ignored the witnesses..

Indeed, their times of day in NY was spot on for maximum office worker casualties, whilst over at the Pentagon they decide to hit the flank that was having work undertaken, involving outstanding and highly dangerous flying skills, rather than opt for the much easier to hit and more chance of killing people centre of building option

What happened is what happened and yes, the twin towers needed to be destroyed to make the global psy-op complete.
What if and why this and that, is an inane argument not based in reality, since that's not what happened, get it?
