This is a great video debunking the popular “Truther” claims about Building 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.
Truthers 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, the truth doesn’t fear investigation.
Once again, you are comparing apples to oranges. What other building had Boeing 767 or any other large jet plane smash into it at full speed? This is a completely unique event in history so trying to compare it to other instances of buildings that suffer fires or something isnt a solid argument at all.
For the towers, they suffered catastrophic damage on the levels where the planes hit, and this spread jet fuel which ignited and started a fire. The structural damage coupled with the fires which weakened (not melted steel beams like the strawman argument claims) caused the section to collapse which in turn caused the building to collapse.
Heres another question, why do "truthers" only talk about Building 7? Why not building 5 or 6 which also suffered catastrophic damage from falling debris from the towers?
Jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams.
Never before or since has a steel framed building collapsed due to fire. It doesn't happen. Yet that day it happened 3 times.
Sorry Cyber1776 you are totally full of shit.
No one ever said jet fuel melts steel beams, this is just a strawman “truthers” repeat since they have no actual argument
"Pointing to this building or that building burning and not collapsing is comparing apples to oranges. What other building had a fucking Boeing 767 crash into them at full speed and leak fuel all over? Or in the case of building 7, what other building had huge chunks of burning debris from an even taller adjacent building crash into them?"
I guess you just included that for fun and weren't insinuating anything
Why do “truthers” act like a giant jet plane crashing into a tower, starting a fire and the the tower collapsing is so unbelievable? It’s like making yourself retarded on purpose to make your conspiracy theory make sense.
