You mean besides the interview where the guy that owned the WTC complex said he made the call to "Pull it"
The insurance policy covering acts of terrorism he took out a month or so before the attacks.
I can't post links from my phone, but it's not hard to find this info.

I don't understand, do you not see a problem with what happened to WTC7 on 9/11?
Nope.
Just because others claim 'it looks like other cds' doesn't mean they know what they are talking about. Why would you blindly accept them based on 7 seconds of YT video or the few stills available on the web?
We've all seen a warehouse store with a flat roof catch fire. The roof always caves in. Well the roof becomes the next floor in WTC7. So after many hours of fire . . .
But to claim it was some grand conspiracy without showing any verifiable proof of how the mechanics worked is silly. Where is this verifiable proof? Would you want to be taken to court based on the level of proof that has been presented the past 12 years?

My reason for not believing the OS regarding WTC7 is based on logic and science and not Youtube videos, I'll say it again, PHYSICS!

But you have shown no physics other than incredulity.
But you have shown no science other than incredulity.
This 'gut' feeling you have is misplaced.
This term 'at free fall speed' is bandied about to easily. A more accurate term would be 'almost free fall speed'.
How fast do the verinage demos fall? Almost free fall speed. What does that tell you? Once the main support is removed the rest goes quickly.

If I had to guess I would go with the one that burned uncontrolled for many hours, without firefighter attempting to fight the fire. The one that had no working sprinklers. The one that was predicted by the firefighters to collapse because of clear signs of instability.
Or was I supposed to go with the simplistic "don't see big flame on biased picture, therefore big huge conspiracy"?edit on 9-4-2013 by -PLB- because: (no reason given)

Have you ever looked at the NIST report for WTC7, it is amazing that a failure on one side of the building can cause a perfect uniform free fall, if that doesn't raise eyebrows nothing will.

As always, when conspiracy theorists show images of WTC 7 they avoid showing the south side which had a huge hole in it from falling debris and was belching smoke from top to bottom :-

As an engineer, I agree that this is the most true statement so far.

Not only did it collapse, it collapsed into it's own footprint at freefall speed. How's that for an adder?

"Building 7 is the smoking gun" We see it posted here time after time.
Perhaps if the OS non believers could come up with one single unified theory that covers all the 'unexplained anomalies' they always bring up, then and only then the world may start to consider this as a conspiracy.
You know , the fires that had firefighters and sprinklers systems ? Battling heroicly yet the fires were so much larger but that makes them weaker I guess, since at least an attempt was made.
