I've always found it amazing that bldg 7 fell into a pile of nothing from debris-invoked fires, yet bldg 7 is on the OTHER side of other buildings from the towers that the jets hit, yet those building in-between, stood their ground.

Go figger.

It is possible thermal exapnsion could have brought it down...IF and only if, the building was structuraly unsound. Ever live in a house, and time totime, you can hear pops and creeks coming from the ceiling or walls? Thats a house settling in, its structuraly unsound. It means, in the next 30 years, its gunan shift and fall lol. For a concrete, steel beamed building to be flawed , structuraly unsound? Call me crazy, but don't the architecs and builders on big projects, endure that dosnt happen???
I don't buy this 'thermal expanison" bluff.

So, they would have us believe, they built the WTC with as common a house builder, as someone form the late 1880's? You know, like in movies, you see a sherrif or bounty hunter from that time, buildin his own home, outta wood, and its off balance, still has holes in ceiling, and is angled WAY off proportion?
Interesting, lol.

Whats wrong with this calculation?

Steel + Concrete / Air Fuel = DUST (WTC 1 + 2)

Steel + Concrete / ????? = DUST (WTC 7)

So can we discuss what thermal expansion really IS? I have a theory that I was hoping people would jump on to either solidify or refute my opinion, but no one did, here goes...

Wikipedia.com
"An explosion is a sudden increase in volume and release of energy in an extreme manner, usually with the generation of high temperatures and the release of gases. An explosion creates a shock wave."

#1 High Temps=Thermal
#2 An explosion creates a shock wave=Expansion

Anyone want to refute this?

You have a jet weighing several tons traveling at over 200MPH, nearly 100 stories in the air. Then you stop suddenly into a monolithic building with enough force to shoot debris out the back of it.

my guess is that the building was at the very least rattled by the impact, possibly even causing enough tension to snap welds or rivets. Where you go with that is up to you.

as for WTC 7:

The most likely time that debris would have both impacted the building and set fire to it would have been either at 8:46 when the North tower was struck, or later during the second impact. Either way, the sprinkler system should not have been damaged at the time of the fire, as the south tower (miraculously collapsing well before the north) allegedly damaged the water pipes during it's demolition, and thus I think this story is bunk.

Yeah it's Thermal Expansion alright, right out of their a$$. Just like a hot fart, but with more stench.

It's kind of an admission now that I think about it.

I'm pretty sure bombs create a thermal expansion effect too.

Ok this accompanying Bush's statement he was playing golf with Barb that day. In total discrepancy to earlier report he was doing lunch with the saudi royal 'cough' family.
Something is up. A new investigation?
Rather uncanny lol. You bet your sweet bippy it is.
