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.
Lol again I never made that argument. In any case wtc 7 was a text book controlled demolition. They blew the central columns first to insure it collapsed in on itself without damaging the adjacent structures. Then it collapsed at free fall speeds in a symmetrical fashion. It was a professional job.
Lol isn't it crazy how WTC1 fell "through the roof" of WTC7, but WTC7 didn't fall through the post office or Verizon building, which we can see was a comparable height discrepancy between them.
In fact, the height disparity between both sets of building collapses favors WTC7 falling through its neighbors, because they were immediately adjacent and didn't have the WTC6 building width to span.
If that’s not your argument then who do you think did it? And it isn’t a text book example, you have literally zero evidence for this. The engineering/physics point is on my side. All you have is some CNN reporter saying “it’s going to blow up” lol.
Seriously, where’s your evidence for any of your claims?
I never claimed who did it, only that it happened. It's impossible to say from only the physical evidence of the building who did it.
But the nist report is the modern day magic bullet theory, government scientists paid to come to a conclusion. An entire organisation filled with thousands of experts was created dedicated to refuting their garbage, and that was the architect and engineers of 911.
Nist claimed building 7 collapsed primarily due to fire. If that was really the case probably thousands of similar buildings around the world would have needed emergency updates to fix serious safety defects, but this never happened. No building codes were modified.
You’re only saying the NIST report is government bullshit because it disproves your confirmation biased theory. And it wasn’t JUST a fire, it was a fire plus the massive structural damage from the twin towers smashing through it. There’s not really another example of this, you guys are being blind when you think of this as JUST a building fire, which it wasn’t.
They always said that WTC7 fell from office fires beginning at one lower corner, too!
I always liked to ask people if they would pile up an 8' tall stack of wood pallets, light the bottom corner on fire and then sit criss-cross applesauce a few feet away from it with their back to the fire.
Surely that stack would wait until the fire spread throughout it before any given part of it became weak enough to collapse.
