Or how about this
Delft (Netherlands) School of Technology, May 2008.
Wing of the School of Architecture collapse do to fire
The fire weakened the building supports causing a collapse
www.liveleak.com...
The FOA Building was a reinforced concrete structure that used mild (non-prestressed) steel reinforcement.

So it's not a steel frame building.
I see you still haven't learned that a partial collapse is not the same as a complete collapse into it's own footprint.

Or the difference between a building on fire and one that has been completely engulfed and burned out. Notice the only section to collapse was the burned out section? WTC7 was nowhere near that damaged.
How easy is it for a building that tall to only partially collapse?
I can't see how the weight falling from above could possibly leave the bottom intact.
Sometimes, beating your head against a brick wall until it learn calculus does more to harm you than it does to help the brick wall. See what I'm saying?
I'm next to giving up on the whole thing. No one can have a civilized conversation anymore, because it's so easy to forget your monitor has a dozen people hidden behind it, talking to you, who have feelings just like you do.

I'm genuinely interested in how you are working this out, because I can't see how the weight falling from above could possibly leave the bottom intact. Keep in mind that you can only ever see about half the building in any video. Dust covers it during its collapse or only about twenty stories are above the other buildings in the way.

Since you're a firemen I will assume that you worked a structure collapse before, and you should know that the ONLY way a building come down like WTC 7 is if something weakens the support on the same level and across the entire length and width of the building at the same time... This did not happen to WTC 7 due to fire and/or damage from fallen debris. We can see a perfectly intact three sides suddenly collapsing symmetrically
WTC 7 collapsed from inside out until only outer shell remained and it then fell
Why do you think the collapse started with the roof penthouses falling into the building Conspiracy types often omit this from their idiotic videos..... Ask yourself why do they remove the scenes of the penthouses falling, then claim the building collapsed at free fall speed.....
