Sounds like you fully understand that 'Muslim extremists" are the scapegoat for all crimes from which people in government profit.

Yes, the religion that is most easy to frame and place the blame on. The religion that comes largely from regions of oil wealth.
I have a little pop quiz for you. Lets see if you can get any of the questions right.

When the WTC collapsed it damaged WTC 7, the damage wasn't severe, but the fires were not being tended to. Larry Silverstein (owner since July 2001)and others determined that they weren't going to be able to contain the fires as the fire crews were exhausted after the collapses of the twin towers they made the decision to PULL the building before the fires got to severe and the collapse would be chaotic which would cause much more property damage and loss of life.
World trade center 7 was evacuated before 10am and its collapse was controlled.
Powerful enough to flip a FDNY ladder truck over
Family member of one my FD members was the officer on this truck - he and entire crew died…..

Good for you. Now wake up.

Let's compare that one boom to a real demolition.
Hmmm...something is wrong ?

Some 185,101 tons of structural steel have been hauled away from Ground Zero. Most of the steel has been recycled as per the city's decision to swiftly send the wreckage to salvage yards in New Jersey. The city's hasty move has outraged many victims' families who believe the steel should have been examined more thoroughly. Last month, fire experts told Congress that about 80% of the steel was scrapped without being examined because investigators did not have the authority to preserve the wreckage. 911research.wtc7.net/wtc/groundzero/cleanup.html
The outcry from many who witnessed the events of that day, and the possibilities of answers from a forensic analysis of the girders recovered went unanswered by the hasty removal of key evidence. If tptb didn't want the public or independent researchers to obtain answers, clean up the crime scene and recycle or dump the evidence.
And here we are almost 15 years later.

Irrelevant. You've applied a standard to something entirely different. Is there a loading on the tree? Is it static or dynamic? How long did it burn for?
Nice picture, although entirely irrelevant.

Very simple. Steel buildings do NOT collapse into their own footprint from office fires

As none of the buildings that collapsed on 9/11 collapsed into their own footprint what are you on about?
It seems you know nothing at all about science or physics!

The whole demolition of WTC 7 conspiracy theory has been been endlessly debunked by real experts and scientists.
But unlike some on here, I won't stoop to the lowest level and call you all that believe the conspiracy theory nasty names.
The official story is the correct one. I think we can all agree to disagree.

The buildings were NOT designed for a plane crashed at HIGH SPEED FULL OF FUEL, NONE of the buildings fell exactly in their own footprint, they did NOT fall exactly the same way for a start the Towers were hit at different locations !
You people seem to deal with every part of it in isolation the plane impacts cause STRUCTURAL DAMAGE
The fires caused increased THERMAL LOADING in the structures.
The floor slabs in the towers were suspended between the outside wall & core the connections on each floor slab were independent of each other.
The floor slabs could fall down within the structure.
All these things act together, I MEAN AFTER A GAPING HOLE is torn in the building do you think you can just ignore that when the fire takes hold.
Then when the fire has created thermal loadings in the structure do YOU think you can then forget about the gaping hole & the fire.
Is that how your mind works
Do you know before this event THERMAL LOADING on a structure due to fire was NOT FULLY CALCULATED only assumptions were made.
From Arup Structural Engineers paper regarding fire safety in buildings after 9/11
Seismic design relies on modelling, risk analysis and changes to the structural stiffness. Wind design relies on additional structural members and wind tunnel tests. Current fire design relies on very simple, single element tests and adding insulating material to the frame. Thermal induced forces are not calculated or designed for
So in REALITY even the designers of the TOWERS would not know how they would react under fire never mind after damage done by the impacts
