Well you are obviously sensitive about being a "delusional paranoid freak" so I won't comment on that.
But WTC 7 didn't collapse at anything like free-fall speed :-

Maxwell's demon and WTC 7
(Background: at the end of 2008, NIST published the final official report on the destruction of WTC 7, the third skyscraper totally destroyed on 9/11. Discarding earlier official hypotheses (and based on no physical evidence, as "[N]o metallography could be carried out because no steel was recovered from WTC 7"), the institute claimed that ordinary office fires resulted in an "extraordinary event", the skyscraper's total symmetrical destruction, which progressed at complete freefall acceleration for over 2 seconds, or the span of 8 floors.)
Quoted from "The Rapid Graceful Collapse of World Trade Center Building 7" by Crockett Grabbe,

To fully understanding the nuances in the 2008 Report by NIST, it might be helpful for people to learn about Maxwell's demon. This demon was actually conjured up by the famous James Clerk Maxwell, one of the most innovative physicists of the 19th Century. He is most famous for developing the 4 coupled equations that completely describe the fields of electricity and magnetism. One of the other physics topics he worked on was that of thermodynamics, a subject considered essential at that time to understand how engines and other sources produce work. 3 laws had been developed on thermodynamics years before -- principles that were developed as a result of the enlightenment of the industrial revolution. But Maxwell saw a puzzling problem about the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
The 2nd law of thermodynamics says that if 2 containers side-by-side are in thermal equilibrium with each other, they will stay in thermal equilibrium. But Maxwell postulated that if there was a little demon opening up a small door between the containers, the demon could monitor thermal molecular motion by only allowing fast molecules to pass through into one container, and slow molecules to pass through into the other container. Thus over time the demon would cause the 2 containers to move out of thermal equilibrium with each other, in seeming contradiction to the 2nd law.
The resolution of the paradox formulation by Maxwell is that that little demon must of necessity be considered part of the physical system. To get the extremely large amount of information on the movement of septillions of molecules requires external work, and with that external work considered there is no violation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics. In fact 20th century statistical physics was developed to go beyond thermodyamics, and includes those extremely small remote possibilities (such as all this information being transmitted to septillions of molecules) in analysis of the expected outcome.
In the case of the ostensible collapse of WTC7 initiating by a local buckling from fires that was formulated by NIST, that demon would have to control the flow at millions of such doors along the top of the building to maintain that amazing symmetry for the under-7-second collapse. Fires in general are very asymmetrical, so the demon would have to get the burned structures in the right place at all these points for the catastropic timing of the collapse to produce this amazing symmetry. But if the architectural failure started locally from fires as the NIST Committe claims, that local asymmetry would have to result in a global perfectly-symmetric fall within hundredths of a second. All of the information from the locally asymmetric failure would have to propagate to all corners of the building and almost instaneously create a perfectly symmetric fall. The demon would have to move at an extremely fast rate to these millions of doors to control this amazing transition to global symmetry. The statistical odds of this happening are so overwhelmingly small that the scenario is patently absurd.
But again, moving between millions of doors at extremely fast speeds to obtain this amazing symmetry is not the only feat the demon would have to do. Building 7 of the WTC fell with perfect symmetry and at freefall from its very start. The establishment of freefall came from very careful timing and measurement by David Chandler in 3 videos in a series entitled "WTC7: NIST Finally Admits Freefall" he produced and placed on the web ( www.911speakout.org ). NIST admitted the building was in freefall for more than the first 2 seconds of its collapse, despite claims they made when they first released the WTC7 Report on August 21 that it was not in freefall.
The implications of the fact that the collapse was in freefall are that the gravitational energy was totally used for the freefall of the building. The well-known physics principle of conservation of energy shows that there was no gravitational energy left to break the building apart as it fell. If gravity was the only source of energy, there is no energy to cause the structure to collapse as it falls. Conservation of energy shows this could only happen if the building fell as if it was

Yes
2- Does it fall into it's footrpint?
Yes
So, whats this all about ?

Because there are seeming shills on the forum that will flat out deny video evidence. It may be clear to many, but shills are actually effective in changing people's opinions.
If you can discredit a theory, and make the person involved in the theory to look stupid or irrational, then you can convince a fair amount of people to stop asking questions. At the end of the day, we as humans conform (in general), and it can be easier to ignore the truth and be accepted, than to ask questions and be ridiculed and outcast.
Shills play on this human weakness.

You can say it is black or white, the color is irrelevant, the comparison here is to an implosion demolition, so show us anything ever falling like this, that will prove to anyone that your theory is correct, i.e., a video of another building in history that has fallen like the 3 did on 9/11, as we have yet to see any other comparison that even remotely resembles this, outside of the obvious, even if color blind, can see..
Alfie, have a little survey for you, if you check my signature, as it was create for members like you...edit on 15-5-2012 by earthinhabitant because: (no reason given)

You brought up the "paranoid delusional freaks" mate, not me. And in deference to what is obviously a sore point with you I refrained from commenting further on that. Jeez, some people are never happy.
Delusional is something we are for sure trying to establish here and alfie got some bad news for you....have you seen a doctor recently about your condition, as I hope this comes as no surprise, either you are or you are being paid to make outlandish claims about WTC 7 and anytime you got an proof of your claims, let us know, as seeing is believing and if you cannot see it, then someone is a master of illusion and silly rabbit, tricks are for kids..
