Luckily, they inevitably listened. Just as the last crew drove four or five blocks away he says he heard “a loud boom.” He was outside, directly below the buildings.
“I looked up, and the building was starting to collapse. And I said to myself, ‘You idiot — you‘re the one who said this building’s going to collapse and you put yourself right underneath it!’”
So u dont buy the thermite story. What about the bombs in the buildings. This guy heard a loud boom right before they came down. What was the BOOM?

I have a hard time believing people from an 'Al Qaeda' or OBL would be capable of rigging up the twin towers and building 7 given the amount of time and planning that goes into destroying a structure like that. Not to mention building 7 houses the CIA, FBI, DHS, NSA, etc.

I know NIST even reported building 7 came down at free fall speed for the first 8 stories. That means the building went from motionless to free fall instantly.
No, they didn't.
12.5.3: In Stage 1, the descent was slow and the acceleration was less than that of gravity. This stage corresponds to the initial buckling of the exterior columns in the lower stories of the north face, as seen in Figure 12–62. By 1.75 s, the north face had descended approximately 7 ft.

Apparently, there were no FBI or NSA offices, either.edit on 12-9-2011 by FurvusRexCaeli because: (no reason given)
I think the planes were a part of the psychological devastation. Just seeing the buildings crumble unannounced doesn't really compare to all eyes in the nation being glued to the TVs, watching the videos of the planes crashing into them over and over again, seeing the smoke pouring from the towers, and then when everybodys watching they crumble to the earth.
I think the planes have a much more powerful effect.
Nope, it's used pretty effectively.
somebody back in the comments said something about scientific method. this manner of logic has nothing to do with scientific method. this way of thinking involves coming to a pre conceived conclusion and then lining up all you evidence to reflect that pre conceived conclusion.
They all collapse towards the path of least resistance and fall over. For the most part the building is held together in a recognizable form. The structural elements have not been dismembered from each other. And finally, the concrete has also not been pulverized to dust.
