Update on this.
I will be conducting an official interview with the source this Thursday, mainly about his experience working with Silverstein on the 9/11 lawsuits, but we'll be getting into WTC7.
I will post my findings here before I do the article, and hopefully will also have that documentation, so we can settle this.

I would greatly appreciate your clearing this up, because I went back and reread your OP and it sounds a LOT like whoever you were talking to was actually referring to one of the OTHER heavily damaged buildings that was demolished because it sustained too much damage (I.E. WTC 6) and you're transposing it into being WTC 7 all on your own.
I invite you to prove me wrong.
He told me this like it was a known fact. In fact, it was common knowledge as the WTC owners were negotiating over insurance payments for WTC7.

Actually, I was thinking the same thing, Dave. Now, in my defense, he did insist on WTC7. But I will hold out that maybe he misspoke in some confusion. To me, the documents will settle this whole thing.
Honestly, I hope I am mistaken, because if WTC7 was in fact demolished, my whole world and everything I believe to be right, wrong, truth, justice will be upside down. I really don't need an existential crisis right now.
6 weeks before the WTC Towers collapsed the new owner took out a large insurance policy on them?
In its court papers, Swiss Re shows how Silverstein first tried to buy just $1.5 billion in property damage and business-interruption coverage. When his lenders objected, he discussed buying a $5 billion policy. Ultimately, he settled on the $3.5 billion figure, which was less than the likely cost of rebuilding.
Complicating the picture is the fact that there was no insurance policy yet issued on the properties when they were destroyed. Since the Port Authority transferred management of the properties to a group of investors led by Mr. Silverstein shortly before the attack, the insurance policy was under negotiation at the time the buildings collapsed and final wording had not been completed. The insurers have agreed to be bound by the ''binder'' agreements on the coverage although differences of opinion emerged yesterday about their interpretation.

I honestly think they were all demolished
I think that's what the big lie is, they don't want to admit these buildings contain explosives, can't just let them come down sideways, it would take out half of Manhattan, to me it's just logic, if I was in charge i'd rig them too in case of the what if, what else can you do? If you ask me it would be damned irresponsible not to have them rigged for an emergency, what can you do let them topple and then guys walking around as far away as central park take bricks to the head at 60 mph as they shoot across the city?

to realize what it really meant that he was told by his Jewish Capital Markets/Securities boss/firm to take the day off along with other members of the board... all Jewish
and the saddest part, theres nothing knowing that fact can do or change for all the lives lost, anyway

Wait. Seriously? You think a consortium of Jewish business leaders knew this was coming?

Basically, yes, WTC7 was purposely pulled according to my sources, because the damage was too great and it was listing to one side anyway, risking it collapsing in an uncontrolled fashion.
Page 39/130
Other than initiating the fires in WTC 7, the damage from the debris from WTC 1 had little effect on initiating the collapse of WTC 7. The building withstood debris impact damage that resulted in seven exterior columns being severed and subsequently withstood fires involving typical office combustibles on several floors for almost seven hours...Page 39/130
Even without the structural damage, WTC 7 would have collapsed from fires having the same characteristics as those experienced on September 11, 2001....

According to NIST there was NO structural damage and other than fire.....

Alright, I'll have an update to my interview for you all later tonight.

I will hopefully be able to provide an insurance doc that will support this as well. And when I have some time, I'll go through my interview with you all.

And how was this demolition carried out ? We know the firefighters were pulled back early afternoon because the building had uncontrolled fires and was threatening to collapse. So who risked their lives going in there to rig it for cd while it was on fire, leaning and bulging ?

Look, for many of you, what I was told is probably a foregone conclusion and probably not a big deal.
For me, it blew my mind. And it counters the official 9/11 report. Which, to me, if this one fact is wrong, then how much else of that report is wrong?
I will give you guys something later today.
