Ok, first things first. NEVER in history has a building gone down due to:
Plane impact could have caused some debris to hit the building.
~ Shock wave from the impact could have destabilized the ground below the building.
~ Impact of the planes could have rumbled the ground like an earthquake; thus, WTC7's structure could have been seriously weakened.
~ If there was a subway station below the building, the hollowed out ground could have been weakened enough to give way.
So I think I'll take histories side on this one & safely assume that one of America's key buildings wouldn't go down to any of these reasons.
Prove it.
Prove it with scientific and historical references.

The commission was established on November 27, 2002 (442 days after the attack) and their final report was issued on July 22, 2004. The report was originally scheduled for release on May 27, 2004, but a compromise agreed to by Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert allowed a sixty-day extension through July 26.

It was a terrorist attack.
Pure and simple.
Any number of circumstances could have taken WTC7 down.
~ Plane impact could have caused some debris to hit the building.
~ Shock wave from the impact could have destabilized the ground below the building.
~ Impact of the planes could have rumbled the ground like an earthquake; thus, WTC7's structure could have been seriously weakened.
~ Falling debris from the two towers could have smacked the ground hard enough; thus, the free falling elements had weakening WTC7's supports in a manner that caused a collapse.
~ If there was a subway station below the building, the hollowed out ground could have been weakened enough to give way.
Any number of uncontrollable things could have happened.
It started with a terrorist attack, and then everything went to hell.

One thing for sure is that Bill Maher is a freakin moron, and so is Reilly. These people need their worldy news spoon fed to them. I cannot wait until the day the truth of 911 comes to fruition, and the people responsible need to be behind bars for the rest of their lives. I fear we will never know the absolute truth

As I said in my original answer, the only reason why WTC7 collapsed was due to a terrorist attack. How the attack caused such a wreckage could be anyone's guess. Read my statement again. You will find that I said something very-very specific.
You took my analytical questioning as a declaration of truth.
Second, Wikipedia is not a reliable scientific and historical source of truth.

Do you think it's co-incidence that WTC7 goes down, yet nothing happened to WTC3, 4, 5 & 6? Do you know what kind of information WTC7 had hold of?
Please try to explain & refute the WTC7 collapse then if you do not believe in all this.
It was a terrorist attack.
Crap happens.
That is life.
Life is not fair and horrible things happen.
Regardless about how much of our lives we control, we cannot stop external things from happening.
*shrugs*
Life also moves onward.
When people blame the government (large entities) for a large crisis, they do so because they feel a lack of control. As long as there is something to blame, the world around them feels that much safer.

I did do my research and found no accounts of any reconstruction work causing the towers to close down for weeks....Where do you pull this # out of?
Reiss took the lead in the response to the 1993 terrorist bombing at the WTC, and it was reported that -- "As Special Assistant to the Director, he managed the design and construction team that restored the World Trade Center's infrastructure, allowing the Twin Towers to reopen within a month." [25] At the time he was put in charge of reconstruction, "a job that required him to meet with top brass twice a day." Reiss said about this period -- "there were so many innovations we made.... After the 1993 bombing, we implemented a ten-year redevelopment program. We were spending half a billion dollars on upgrades. It was an engineer's dream." [26] Part of these upgrades involved constructing new command and control centers throughout the buildings. A new Security Command Center was built on the 22nd floor of the north tower (WTC 1), and a new Operations Control Center was constructed in the B1 level of the south tower (WTC2). [27] Additionally, NYC officials responded to the 1993 bombing by establishing The Office of Emergency Management (OEM), over a period of years, "to promote unified operations between and among the various city emergency responder departments." The OEM was controversial, in that it was not appreciated by the NYPD, which already had an emergency center. But ultimately, "on September 11, 2001, the OEM center located at WTC 7 became ineffective as WTC 7 was evacuated." [28] During Rudy Giuliani's run for President, he and his former employee Jerome Hauer traded accusations about who made the choice of putting the OEM in WTC 7. [29]

Pure logic & probability says chances of buildings going down because of these is extremely small anyway.

No. You're answer is not very clear at all I'm afraid.
Your post said a number of uncontrolled things could have happened.
Then I said that, such a thing happening from one of your many well-thought out reasons has never happened.

Thank you. Woudln't it actually be more credible if people like this guy could actually try & PROVE us wrong, rather than saying: "no, you're wrong, give me proof"...Yet hold no substance in their own argument that they believe in so much.
Other than "WTC7 went down to a terrorist attack (with no elaboration) or "it could have been a number of uncontrollable things"
How about proving to us that 9/11 was legit? You're only proof is the 9/11 Final Commission Report, which, quite frankly holds as much substance as my toilet tissue paper.edit on 16-6-2011 by SmoKeyHaZe because: (no reason given)

So I say, how about proving it's NOT a lie then?

When did I once say that any one of those were factual? If you read my damn post correctly, I said, "I do not know the specifics".
If I were to declare them as being 100% factual, I would be doing the same thing the 9/11 theorist are doing? I would be lying. I am not going to make up stories.
According to what I had experienced on screen, terrorists attacked the United States on 9/11/01.
How that attack took down WTC7 could be any number of ways, and not a single person on this board can prove either way.
