World Trade Center 7 - September 11, 2001

First 3 steel buildings to completely collapse in the history of steel frame buliding. WTC 1, WTC 2 and WTC 7.

BUT WHY!?

First 3 steel buildings to completely collapse in the history of steel frame buliding. WTC 1, WTC 2 and WTC 7. BUT WHY!?

They were also the first buildings to be smashed by 767s, though (or in the case of WTC7, its bottom floors were left on fire for several hours...has there been another building in history that survived such a conflagration? I don't know)

Not too many buildings have been hit by a plane. And none on the scale of a 757/767. A b25 bomber crashed into the Empire state building in 1945, but was relatively mild in comparison.

But, there have been a few fires:


In '88 a fire at the Interstate Bank Building in L.A. burned for 4 hours. It is a 62 story building, but did not collapse.


'91 the 38-story One Meridian Plaza in Philly burned for 18 hours and did not collapse.


in 2004 a 56-story office tower burned for 17 hours and spread accross 26 floors. Two floors collapsed, but the underlying floors did not.


In 2005 a 32-story Windsor building in Spain caught fire and burned for over 48 hours. The entire building was in flames. Several top floors collapsed onto lower ones, yet the building remained standing.




2010 an apartment block in Shanghai caught fire and burned for four hours. Did not collapse.






For reference, Germany's Goethe University Tower (32 story)

Haha! Hoooboy! That sure is weird, D3V, but I'm afraid you're wrong. Terrorists from out of the United States who are not being paid, brainwashed, or told what to do, did this. This was all natural, and a random occurrence. Nobody knew it would happen, D3V, so just do us all a favor, and stop grasping for straws. There is nothing watching over anybody. We are not controlled, everyone is free. See? It says right there in the Pledge of Allegiance. Liberty. And as we all know, a country never lies about anything, when it comes to the daily ritual of praying to the flag. Here, go save up money to buy this car so you don't have to think as much.

I never claimed any of that, I'm just questioning the authenticity of an investigation.

Why do I question it? Because look at the fucking map of where WTC 7 is.



It fell to the ground like any normal controlelled demolition. WTC 6 was in between WTC 1 and WTC 7. How does WTC 6 not crumble completely?



The damage and the story is inconsistent. I'm not a fucking scientist, I'm not an investigator, I'm not somebody who specializes in things like this - but I can spot something that doesn't add up.



As you can see, WTC 6 was nearly destroyed by falling debris. Half of the building is gone. But, it did not collapse. And yes, it was also on fire.

Also, the flight manifests of 9/11 are interesting. Nearly half of all people on 9/11 flights that crashed were Active/Reservist military. Not trying to point out conspiracy, I think they are silly. But these are facts, and are interesting at least.

But that leaves the main question, still. Why?

"To go to war"
Why?
"To make money"
For who?
"Illuminati"
That's crazy, D3V, those aren't real. Why would a large group of lizard men disguise themselves as humans, run most world businesses and banks, and feed off of our violence and hate? That's the most ridiculous story I've ever heard, and it doesn't make any sense, nor is it consistent with any old world stories about a global tsunami and lizard men farming for gold in Africa, found in multiple tribes all over the world. You read too much David Icke.

You're right, war and profiting off it has never happened before.

But, there have been a few fires:

Nevertheless, I'm sure we could find buildings to have been brought down by fires as well. In the case of WTC7, the exterior seems to be succumbing to the heat far before the collapse:





And WTC6 was a much shorter building with a much larger base, making it far more stable than WTC7. It might be why it didn't collapse. It's not as though it wasn't affected by the fire:



The official story seems completely plausible to me. This has gotten to be a somewhat long thread, so why don't you restate what exactly you take objection to with the official story?

The entire building imploded, not just down 15-25% of the building like the pictures you posted. WTC7 was destroyed all the way to the ground.

Oh, and WTC 1 and WTC 2 as well. I will label them plausible because they were hit by airliners. WTC 6 was between 1 and 7 and didn't fall, but 7 did.
