Buildings fell straight down that can only happen with controlled demolition. There was no airplane that hit the pentagon. These are all facts without me having to speculate further.

I am sorry but that is complete nonsense. If you drop something does it not tend to fall straight down ? It's gravity; you can't really expect it to shoot off parallel to the ground or something.
So far as the Pentagon is concerned I suppose you can say there was no plane if you are prepared to ignore 100 plus witnesses, aircraft wreckage from a Boeing 757, multiple radar tracks, dna identified body parts of passengers and crew, flight data recorder containing information not only of AA 77's last flight but multiple earlier ones etc.edit on 13-6-2013 by Alfie1 because: (no reason given)

Becuase the sequence of the penthouse collapse is being used by NIST as evidence the building did NOT fall straight down symmetrically, but rather the south side (facing the towers) folded in and collapsed before the north side (the side shown in the footage). You can see by watching the collapse video that the penthouse doesn't really fall straight down, but actually topples over toward the south. The only way it can topple over is if there was nothing left beneath that side of the penthouse holding it up anymore.
All this is complete poison for conspiracy theorists like Richard Gage who want you to believe there were secret contolled demolitions so you'll give him your money to "learn the truth" about the 9/11 attack. There's no way he can include the penthouse collape in his conspiracy stories without causing people to ask him embarassing questions he cannot answer so he simply pretends it never happened. There's no way this could have been ommitted accidentally. Someone specifically realized the penthouse collapse contradicted what they were claiming about "symmetrical collapse" and they altered the evidence to suit their claims.
In short, if it deliberately excludes the penthouse collapse, odds are it came from that con artist Gage.

You posted a link to a video of demolitions carried out by Controlled Demolition Inc ; presumably you thought it supported your idea that WTC 7 was a cd ?
But do you realise that the president of Controlled Demolition Inc, Mark Loizeaux, has made it perfectly clear that he regards possible cd of WTC 7 as nonsense ?

In fact I believe it was stated on here that the WTC was denied demolition permits prior to the attacks.

That does not make it true, in fact the poster that made that comment was asked for proof but ran away from providing it....

How would you CD a 110 story highrise in a densely populated urban area?
Has that been done before?
Yes - if it was true where is the evidence for it
Put some excavators and a bobcat etc. on the roof then start knocking the building down piece by piece, cutting it up with oxy and pushing the rubbish down the lift shafts.
yes, high rise buildings are torn down all the time like that. The fact it was 110 stories high does not change the process, just makes the time longer
That has nothing to do with the US and you know it. That has to do with the screwed up sociopolitical idology that plagued the mideast since the middle ages. Sunnis hates the Kurds who hated the Shiites who hated the Hindus who hate the Sunnis back. Tribe A are sworn enemies with tribe B because of some grievous insult they committed five hundred years ago and tribe B in turn hates tribe C for reasons noone can even remember, and in the middle of this there's a bunch of religious nutball Islamic fundamentalists fantasizing they're fighting for Saladin who want to bring the whole mideast back a thousand years. That doesn't even count the incredibly corrups sheiks who have been swindling the peasantry as bad as the mafia. Now that Saddam Hussein and his conveyor belt to the killing fields keeping all this in check has been dismantled all the petty blood feuds that's always been there is coming back out of the closet.
Muslims were chopping each other's heads off over incredibly petty [censored] long before the US ever even existed,
Blame the idiots who think it pleases god to strap a bomb on their chest and blow themselves up in a crowded market place.

This video shows the penthouse falling to one side, not straight down and it is an obvious controlled demo.

All up until now Gage has specifically used the symmetric fall model to "prove" controlled demolition, and thus he snipped off the penthouse collapse specifially because it contradicted his whole symmetric fall model. Now you're claiming Gage is wrong in that it's really an assymetrical collapse that "proves" controlled demolition. In other words no matter how the heck the building fell you're you're still going to claim it's proof of controlled demolition. Does that pretty much sum it up?
You seem to know more about architecture and controlled demolitions that even Richard Gage does. May I ask what your qualification are so that I'll know you're not just making things up off the top of your head because you don't want to believe your conspiracy stories are wrong?

What proves a controlled demolition is that there is no way under the sun that building 7 could have fallen without one. Explosives were used because there was no way that the building could have sustained enough undetected (by video and photo) damage that would allow the ENTIRE building to collapse. Even Oklahoma city bombing left the building partly standing and that was WAY more damage than could even by speculated in WTC7.
the visual comparisons I already stated in a previous post (this is my position) could not have looked exactly like a typical controlled demo anyway. It would have had to be rigged with explosives while the building was in use in the weeks or months leading up to the attack. The building was still filled with T.I's and many more variances that a normal control demo would not include. I don't imagine it would look exactly like a typical CD since it wasn't a typical CD.
