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…..
Sorry for the delay.
Wow, sorry for your loss. The down blast from the towers collapsing wreaked havoc that day. The superheated air rushingout was like a pyroclastic flow, vehicles were sand blasted, burned and tossed about like toys.

People closest to the maelstrom were the fire and rescue crews, so sad.

There are people who claim that there were no explosions.
& now that this has been shared, they will move the goal posts. Again.
Prepare for some mental gymnastics.

Building 7 did pretty much fall into its own footprint.
When the first 7 World Trade Center collapsed, debris caused substantial damage and contamination to the Borough of Manhattan Community College's Fiterman Hall building, located adjacent at 30 West Broadway, to the extent that the building was not salvageable.[53] A revised plan called for demolition in 2009 and completion of the new Fiterman Hall in 2012, at a cost of $325 million.[54][55] The adjacent Verizon Building, an art deco building constructed in 1926, had extensive damage to its east facade from the collapse of 7 World Trade Center, though it was able to be restored at a cost of US$1.4 billion.[56]

So, Mr Silverstein, in the middle of an interview on 9/11, for which I assume he knows he's being filmed, "lets slip" the fact that he ordered the controlled demolition of WTC7 and was complicit in the perpetration .

So damaged and for safety reasons they brought it down.
Who said anything about the firemen bringing down the building? More debunker silliness.

Since when does the FDNY use explosives to demolish buildings?
When did they carry the tonnes of explosives into the buildings and spend man years wiring them up, with no one noticing?

IF the building was not controlled/pulled that September after noon, the building could of caused more loss of life
Guiliani was evacuated from the WTC 7 by 10am. Secret service had it locked down early. Here is a video from after the collapse inside wtc 7.

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.
Yes and a triage tent was moved before the planned and controlled demolition.

No one really agrees with you when you factor in the evidence and common sense
