0:33: Edited footage of building 7's collapse, omitting the first penthouse collapse.
0:43: "Videos of building 7 show a fairly symmetrical fall." Videos of the penthouse show it wasn't symmetrical. Gage weasels his way out of that by saying it was "fairly" symmetrical.

So (IF the internal structure had collapsed to the extent claimed by NIST) you're claiming there is nothing suspicious about the asymmetrically damaged, birdcage-like outer structure collapsing through itself at free fall in rather symmetric fashion while mostly only being required to bear its self-weight?

The design was for a slower speed; the idea was that a 707 on approach to a NYC airport would accidentally strike the towers. Suicide craft were not a consideration.

A 1964 Port Authority analysis concluded that the towers could sustain an impact from a 707 traveling at 600 MPH and striking the 80th floor. That information is right in the NIST Report.
The "slower speed" claim peddled by OS believers was publicized by Les Robertson after 9/11 (2003?). That is also in the NIST Report.

Building 7 underwent a period of sustained free fall which NIST eventually admitted.
This is not up for debate.

Still no analyses of 600 MPH impact. The design was for approach or takeoff speeds, not 600 MPH dive. To suggest so is disingenuous.

Then you're admitting the NIST Report is disingenuous? If there was no analysis of a 600 MPH impact, NIST wouldn't have mentioned that there was one.
Yes, everyone knows there were several seconds in which the visible portion of the northern face collapsed at free fall.
So (IF the internal structure had collapsed to the extent claimed by NIST) you're claiming there is nothing suspicious about the asymmetrically damaged, birdcage-like outer structure collapsing through itself at free fall in rather symmetric fashion while mostly only being required to bear its self-weight?
Then it slowed down, for an average rate of significantly less than free fall.
Does this mean you accept the NIST report as authoritative? Even I wouldn't put it above debate, as you apparently have. I think everything is up for debate, if and when the other side brings something to the table.

Yeah, this is the most conclusive and thorough compilation of expert testimony to date on the 911 truth.
I really want to see a counter arguement to all of these experts, debunking everything they have talked about in their interviews.
They even interview psychologists about why some people will always reject the evidence no matter what, and it's because the truth is too much for them to handle. Literally, they can't handle the truth, and it's not because their not intelligent or bad people, it's because physiologically, they can't handle it.
