Hey Guys,
I searched for this being posted before, couldnt find any so here goes.
There was a new video posted on youtube a few weeks ago from Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth, this time they talk about WTC7.
I think that this and also loose change are one of the best ways to wake up your friends, family, lovers, etc..to the reality that is upon us. Just show them these 2 vids.

I won't be able to watch this until I get home, but without seeing it, let me make an educated guess- I will wager this video is following their previous pattern of completely ignoring all the facts that show what they want to believe is wrong, like how wreckage from the north tower fell on WTC 7, destroying the fire prevention system and causing fires to burn out of control. I'll wager they'll also continue to ignore the facts that firefighters saw the fires causing three story tall bulging in the structure, or of eyewitnesses saying the lobby looked like "King Kong came through and destroyed it", or that the building collapsed from the inside out in a manner that no controlled demolitions can possibly accomplish. They'll simply say "it looked like a controlled demolition" like they've been falsely repeating since day one.
Do I win my bet?

There's more than a few demolition contractors that would love to do that same exact thing. Its just the local authorities kind of frown on setting buildings on fire and letting them burn to the ground - they have this bad habit of inadvertently "expanding" the demoltion project. Its a real nice way of getting rid of all that nasty demolition debris that the contractor has to pay to remove. Much better to watch go up and away in smoke for free than pay people to handle, load, transport and dispose.

They literally completely ignored the damage to the building by WTC 1.
NIST Report, NCSTAR 1A, pp. xxxii
"while debris impact from the collapse of WTC 1 initiated fires in WTC 7, the resulting structural damage had little effect in causing the collapse of WTC 7."

That isn't a building "built to last."

if you look into its facts, it really doesn't offer much

Fact remains buildings dont usually fall straight down at almost free fall speed due to a few fires...

WTC1 and 2 were hit by planes.

so how come some of them partially collapsed?

I thought fire couldn't do anything to a skyscraper.

What they found was that the damage allowed for the building to collapse straight down. Had the building been undamaged, the collapse would have been far less symmetrical.

Some of the words that come out of your keyboard are just shocking, ill-researched, and ill-logical.
First and foremost, the damage to WTC 7 was minimal. Here's about the clearest image you can get of the south side of WTC 7:

Partial collapse is always possible and can be expected. Total and complete collapse of a steel-structured highrise from fire? Next to impossible.

Again, yes steel fails,wood fails, brick fails, every material will fail. The physics surrounding their failure is what is at debate. No one is debating the fact that steel fails. The fact that these building fell at free fall speed (which is imposable unless every floor underneath the top floor is "removed" prior to the top floor coming into contact with said floor) and into their own footprint, due to fire, is under debate.

That is such an out-right lie, I cannot begin to comprehend how you can even fathom the accuracy and truthfulness of that statement. It must've been "opposite day" over at NIST because the above quote is the exact opposite of what would happen in real life.
The damage was all the way on one side (south side) of the building. Any type of building collapse falls towards the damaged and less-structurally sound side of the building.
If the collapse were a genuine fire-induced collapse, the building would've fallen over to the south, which was the side that was allegedly structurally damaged.
And besides that, fire can't take out all steel columns across the whole entire building simultaneously to cause it to fall straight down and at free-fall speeds.
