Ah, so anyone who did think it was going to collapse was a plant? That sure is convenient.
I personally see plenty of evidence of people who were well aware that the building was wholly unstable. They were measuring creep in the structure, after all! A structure doesn't creep unless it is getting ready to completely collapse. It evidences the weakening/shifting of supports.
Not anyone just the unnamed engineers telling a firemen that a 47story skyscraper is in danger of imminent collapse. Who is this enginner and how did he know the condition of the building? Why didn't he identify himself fir 11 years now ? I think he's a plant just like prophet Mark Walsh... Not a fact just my opinion.

...also we were pretty sure that 7 World Trade Center would collapse. Early on, we saw a bulge in the southwest corner between floors 10 and 13, and we had put a transit on that and we were pretty sure she was going to collapse. You actually could see there was a visible bulge, it ran up about three floors. It came down about 5 o’clock in the afternoon, but by about 2 o’clock in the afternoon we realized this thing was going to collapse.

You mean collapse symmetrical into its footprint at free fall speed turning into dust?
Yep that's what happens from a creaking wobbling building.
FDNY was watching the building using a surveyor transit (carried as part of equipment on Collapse Unit housed with Rescue 3) By mid afternoon could see 3 story bulge forming on Southwest corner
As for unamed engineer - I can conjecture that reason doesnt come forward is to avoid harassment from the nut fringe
I'm well aware of Barry Jennings. His story has been dissected countless times over this last decade. The facts in his story only line up when one considers where he was in the building at each point in his story. The part where the building "explodes" and he gets trapped temporarily is a part where he is on the stairway in the corner of the building, right next to where there is documented damage from the collapse of Tower 1. Tower 2's collapse threw out the power, which is why he had to use the stairs in the first place, remember? Now, that's about as compressed as I can make the analysis. Just do a Google search on it if you want more detail.

I'm curious did you listen to what Barry Jennings had to say and do you still stand by your comment above?

Seven WTC fell 100 meters in 4.5 seconds -- only as fast as in a vacuum created from an explosion -- faster than free fall.
Explosions have been recorded before the take down of all the WTC
This doc has the evidence of the explosions recorded along with the witness testimony.
Yes, I have. I believe that Barry Jennings was mistaken
point is that the "demolition" of the towers was nothing like a demolition. A demolition in the first place is not intended to "blow up" an entire building. It is intended to weaken the structure just enough to cause it to collapse on its own. Remember that fact. Demolition collapses let the building destroy itself. They don't "blow up" the whole building in a once-in-a-lifetime experience of massive, silent bombs destroying the building and ejecting it everywhere as it collapses. Naturally, in order to start the collapse, there did not have to be a single initiatory pop or bang. Those were able to take place 15-45 minutes earlier, with a magical delayed physical reaction (this was sarcasm again, so we're clear).

Explosions is not the same thing as explosives. If you watch any video of any demolition, you will notice one primary factor. There are always very loud explosive pops/bangs just before the collapse. Every camera on each demolition is able to capture it unless the audio gets replaced by music by the uploader.
Yes, I have. I believe that Barry Jennings was mistaken. After listening to the testimony of his companion, the events make a lot more sense.

Rudy Giuliani forgets 9/11 when suggesting President Obama take cues from Bush on fighting terror
Rudy Giuliani has been teased for only having three words in his vocabulary - a noun, a verb and 9/11 - but yesterday "America's Mayor" seemed to forget about 9/11.

That's verinage demolition. It doesn't use explosives. It weakens the supports and then lets the building destroy itself. You're just proving my point.
