Let me get this straight. 9/11..terrorist attack.....two towers just collapsed....hundreds dead....ENTIRE Manhattan one big pile of chaos & smoke....and you expect the news anchor showing big emotion because ANOTHER building fell down? (Where t was already clear for hours that the building was damaged).
What's that emotion supposed to be? "OMGZ people! You won't believe what just happened....but this really takes the cake....this building just collapsed!!!"
(Mind the fact that no one was actually in that building as far as I know.)
On the background of the entire events of 9/11 on that day, the collapse of WTC7 is (almost) TRIVIAL and sure not an event which would have warranted major emotions as you seem to think.

This is the most important/powerful billboard ever created. So many people were shocked and didn't know what to believe. This will wake up so many people. I lost two friends from my elementary school on that day. Words almost fail me. The people responsible for this add are saints in my eyes. This is amazing. No more deceptions or lies. The true perpetrators will be brought to justice, finally.

The planes hit the top of the building, not the foundation. There is no logical reason (except thermite) that can explain why that steel is cut so precise. Those buildings (all three) were brought down in a controlled demolition.a reply to: samkent

I've been giving this some more thought -- it's not so much the lack of emotion in the video that feels odd to me, but the lack of surprise.
Here's why: They just read, on air, the report that someone handed them saying that WTC 7 had collapsed within the last few minutes. They're looking at the skyline, and speculating that the large amount of smoke they're seeing is a result of that collapse. Then, as they're watching, WTC 7 actually collapses. The only logical assumption I can see them making in real time is that this is ANOTHER building collapsing, in addition to the one they just reported on. Instead, it seems like they immediately assume that this is the collapse they just reported, they just happened to report it a few seconds early.
You should really look beyond conspiracy sites for your information.
I remember was the MGM hotel fire at las vegas in 1980 , 85 people were killed and the building never crash down! ever! today its the Bally's hotel! How can bulding 7 with less fire came down ???, you can see clearly just smoke and very few flames if they are seen, you never see actuall fire like in big buildings fire from the windows (in most fires you can see the flames breaking windows trying to get oxigen) if you see the videos you only see some smoke, thats it!

This is awesome! I've always kept an open mind about both sides of the 9/11 conspiracy fence. When people get that look of disgust on their face about entertaining the thought of an inside job I always ask them what their explanation for WTC7 is. Of course their eyes glaze over because they've never heard of it. It's the perfect opportunity for me to suggest that they haven't even researched a topic that they are debating since they don't know about the biggest argument used against the official story, and that they are relying on blind, ignorant faith. Without fail they immediately dash off to Google to watch the footage... which hopefully pulls them off of their high horse a bit.
I don't fault anyone for taking a stance but I can't stand for choices based on complete ignorance and conditioning.

I would love to see a poll/statistics of how many people know how many buildings collapsed.
I would argue its an injustice to the people that worked there and the owners, share holders etc.. and the business lost by not being able to work there for it to be forgotten.

Ummm I'm not sure how many people you've asked but every time someone asks ME I tell the the truth- wreckage from the north tower fell on it and smashed it up, just like it fell on the Deutschebank building right next to it and smashed IT up. The Deutshebank building was in fact so damaged that it was condemned.
What happened to the building after wreckage fell on WTC 7 smashed it up we may never definitively know, but it is not for debate that WTC 7 stood for almost 30 years without incident...until the north tower fell and smashed it up, and then and only then did it fall. Knowing what happened to girder A as it applied to what was happening to girder B is interesting, but largely academic.

I for one would like to see a poll of how many people know who Mohammed Atta is. I've asked several people myself and they didn't know what the significance the name has. To most people in the west, if it's a muslim name it might as well be some gibberish sound we make with our mouths when we're bored, as far as for anyone wanting to remember it is concerned..
