Making this thread again since the Tucker video renewed interest in it. This is a great video debunking the popular “Truther” claims about Build 7. https://youtu.be/7PpsCCTMP8w
The points brought up in the video are:
• “Why wasn’t building 7 ever mentioned in the 911 Commission Reports?”
This is because the Commission Reports were specifically about the actual targets of the attacks, not collateral damage like WTC 7. It was however investigated in a NIST report which is here https://www.nist.gov/publications/final-report-collapse-world-trade-center-building-7-federal-building-and-fire-safety-0
• “How could it collapse if it never was hit by a plane?”
Pretty simple, huge chunks of burning debris crashed in through the top of WTC 7 from the towers. This not only caused massive structural damage, but also caused a massive fire to spread throughout WTC 7.
Truther deceitfully only ever show pictures of it from the south, where it was not struck by debris, making it seem like it was a perfectly fine building that collapsed out of nowhere, but images of it from the north side clearly show the massive damage WTC 7 sustained from the falling debris
• “Building 7 collapsed in free fall out of nowhere! This is only possible through controlled demolition!”
This is just an outright lie. Footage of the attack clearly shows building 7 folding in on itself over the course of hours before finally collapsing. All footage of the “free fall” conveniently only ever starts right as the building falls, it never shows the footage before of the penthouse caving in.
Remember, truth doesn't fear investigation.
What about it doesnt look organic to you? I think this is because footage is selectively edited to fit the truther narrative and it doesnt show that the north side of the building was completely caved it, the entire building had a raging fire inside of it for hours, and the building was slowly collapsing in on itself for hours.
The truther videos only ever show that video of it collapsing from the south at the final cave in so it looks like it collapses out of no where.
Mainly the part where it complete defies physics by not following the path of least resistance. There was entirely too much reinforced mass below for the affected area above to cause the collapse it did. This is high school level stuff. The structure would have to be tremendously weakened all throughout prior to collapse in order to generate the collapse it did. Same goes for the twin towers.
"Stuff doesn't happen like that." Yes it does. The video I posted in my original post has footage of the north side. It also shows how the building slowly collapsed over the course of hours, including the penthouse caving in, which is always selectively left out of "truther" videos.
"I jogged through" try actually watching it instead of asking me to spoon feed you every step of the way. The video is only about 10 min.
