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.
Greetings. You act as if AE911Truth didn't say anything at any time since the NIST report was published in 2008. I have not read every page of the report nor of their extensive rebuttal or ongoing research, but my recollection is that any slight observed deformation, and the penthouse collapse 2 seconds earlier, are not well-described as "folding in on itself over the course of hours" and do not account for around 2.3 seconds of freefall acceleration admitted by the NIST's corrections. Sounds like the video is debunking side issues without reviewing the hard data, even though it admits the corrected freefall curve without admitting how it contradicts the NIST thesis.
The video does not show any massive buckling on any side consistent with the NIST models, but only indicates ordinary fire damage, which in every other documented case results in either the whole structure remaining or the upper structure collapsing sideways while retaining its integrity. During the last second of the fall video you can see the top corner of 7 barely beginning to threaten to turn sideways, but something was destroying its structural integrity at freefall speed that has never been present in any accidental collapse. No skyscraper has ever undergone total collapse into its own footprint aside from controlled demolition, except, as we are told, on one day when it happened three times in the same place. The third time was just after the building's owner, Larry Silverstein, admittedly said "Pull it" about the building's potential collapse (and he didn't mean to pull out the firefighter team).
At any rate, 7 is only the most glaring of all the inconsistencies of the data and so is used as a front-end argument because it's more comparable to more evidence. However, even considering the evidence of skyscrapers hit by planes, no parallel to 1-2 has ever been seen either.
I think you wanted to post this in reply to the Richard Gage thread. you have posted it as a separate top level post and it just starts in on an unintroduced subject which is building 7.
what you write is great. I'm just saying that I think you've posted this in the wrong placewhat you write is great. I'm just saying that I think you've posted this in the wrong place
I'm in the Tower 7 thread commenting on the YT appearing therein. Thank you for pointing out the Gage thread by u/Asterix. Larry personally testified that he said "pull it"; the fact that Gage found somebody willing to testify of being told 7 would be "pulled" is a nice confirm, but not direct evidence unless this was contemporaneous testimony given to or promoted by mainstream sources.
yeah I didn't think anything of the new wtc 7 info. anyone that matters already knows what happened . this is only for fools
BTW, confirmation by the MSM is completely an utterly irrelevant
Literally not an argument. Ignoring reality to safeguard your conspiracy theories you proudly admit are rooted in ignorance is pathetic. I thought truth doesnt fear investigation.
