How can anyone believe the WTC 7 lies after seeing this?
WTC 7 lies? After looking at a MAP? Give me a break. I will continue to believe the words of the men and women of the NYFD and NYPD who were there
that day and reported HEAVY damage to number 7, not to mention the fires or the widespread belief of those folks that due to the damage, WTC7 was
going to come down. So, keep looking at your goofy map and dreaming up lunatic theories, ill stick with the brave men and women who were THERE.
But undoubtedly only when it suits you. The massive FDNY & NYPD testimony of bombs going off in the buildings and molten steel afterwards in the
basements of WTC 1, 2 & 7 doubtless comes from the craven cowards, not "the brave men and women who were THERE (
ta-dum!).
Also, your argument is a blunt instrument. Even if the NYPD/FDNY thought the bldg was truly undermined to such a state, simple glance at the
construction plans of the bldg show that it could not have fallen as it did.
Yet once again: the lower 8 floors were a highly reinforced web of columns and trusses to allow the building to partially encompass a Con Ed
substation. On the 23rd & 24th floors, there was a reinforcement belt of structural bracing to protect the NYC emergency command center, the
"bunker."
Even if the scattered fires and the falling debris had affected the middle floors seriously enough to cause collapse, the building would have toppled
to one side, it would not have given up all structural integrity in a moment and collapsed at freefall speed. Impossible.
You would have had the bunker belt holding the top together, and the reinforced base standing as well.
Instead you had a neat pile and thermal hotspots in the basements for weeks after. And as Pootie so rightly notes, not one decent explanation from
NIST after nearly six years of them wishing it would just go away.
So who's really dreaming? Who's theories are really the "goofy" ones?
