I also agree that the media does use special microphones that muffle out background noises most of the time.
If the OS is true that the gash is what caused WTC 7 to collapse then why did every single floor joists break away simultaneously instead of the WTC falling
If I may correct you sir, NIST stated the damage to #7 from the falling tower had nothing to do with the collapse, it only started the fires.
However that adds to your point..
Yes I do agree, whiteness that were there stated the bottom floor was blown out first, IIRC the lowest floor on fire was the 12th floor..

I can clearly hear the first explosion from WTC 7 as the Penthouse collapse.
Same with 30 West Broadway across street = WTC 7 smashed into it inflicting severe damage that it had to be torn down
Yet many of the windows are still intact
You just heard the rumble as WTC 7 started collapsing. Do you think it would collapse silently?

Perhaps a special kind of explosives were used, that were design to only to blow up all the supporting floor joists simultaneously.
The problem is we do not know how the WTC 7 was rigged or what kind explosives that were used.
So silent explosives, that have no blast effects?
One thing i haven't seen mentioned, is the damage on the lower floors on building 7 from splash damage when tons of building debris from the collapsing tower hit the ground in front of building 7, the lower floors would be pushed in to the building.

however when one is examining the News video, it does not look like a natural collapse.
Battalion Chief John Norman later recalls, "At the edge of the south face you could see that it is very heavily damaged." [Firehouse Magazine, 5/02] Heavy, thick smoke rises near 7 World Trade Center. Smoke is visible from the upper floors of the 47-story building. Firefighters using transits to determine whether there was any movement in the structure were surprised to discover that is was moving. The area was evacuated and the building collapsed later in the afternoon of Sept. 11.

Thank you for your response.
However I never made any such claims to silent explosions. I believe the blast were very well controlled.
I am certain the people behind rigging up WTC 7 did not want the collapse to look like a traditional demolition. That would have sparked outrage immanently. No, they wanted it to look like a normal collapse, however when one is examining the News video, it does not look like a natural collapse.
