The following comment is fallacious and shows a lack of understanding of physics:
Buildings do not fall down like that unless every single support column was severed at exactly the same time. Fires don't do that and never will.
No building is as near invincible as that.

Look at the above photo. Specifically, look at front roofline of WTC7. As the building falls, this roofline stays pretty much parallel to the ground from start to finish. Also look at the roofline on the right side of WTC7. It stays parallel to the ground as the building falls too.
The fact that the rooflines fall parallel means that the collapse of WTC7 started precisely simultaneously beneath every beam supporting both rooflines. Because gravity causes objects to accelerate as they fall, an object that begins falling first will always stay ahead of an object that begins falling afterwards.
As seen by the rooflines, the entire structure begins falling at the same time.
This can ONLY mean that the resistance holding the entire structure up vanished instantly.

I also believe you are falling in with a crowd and wantonly misintrepretating facts and "evidence" to support an idea.

Considering that comment was addressing his assertion that buildings ONLY collapse when all the columns are cut precisely? Shift the context all you want, it doesn't shift the context meant.

So, since WTC7 had fires deliberately set, then you can also conclude they would deliberately bring the building down as the video evidence suggests.
And if anyone thinks that one of these buildings below fell due to fires and minor, mostly cosmetic damage, then they need to take some physics courses:

Delenn: [to Neroon] Yes, we've disagreed, even fought, but I would rather have someone who opposed me out of an honest belief in the rightness of his cause than someone who is always on my side because it was expected and required.

...concerning the flight downed near shanksville pa - it's impact didnt make a big enough hole for that size aircraft... all of the debris shouldve heavily littered the area but, oddly, it was an extremely clean site... it was reported that the explosion on impact was so significant that all the debris was incinerated, melted into nothing - but - miraculously, an identification card of one of the alleged hijackers was found in near perfect condition... how could that happen?...
