Yeah I keep hearing about WTC7 being on fire and the fire not being able to be contained. But I reiterate, this was the first steel structure building in the World to collapse due to fire.

Not only that, but the way it collapsed does look like it was a controlled demolition. There was a sky scraper in Madrid, Spain that burned uncontrollably for a longer period than WTC7, but that didn't collapse at all.
Had a concrete core, and was built with concrete protection on the steel it did have.

You mean the first responders who are DYING of chronic illnesses because they were told it was safe ?
You mean the first responders who are receiving no help for treatment from the government who told them it was safe ?

What does this little personal unverified claim have to do with 9/11 being a poorly orchestrated scam believed by hundreds of millions of gullible brain dead morons?

The point is that I hear a lot of lies and falsehoods spoken and written about on these sites. My point is that I know someone who was on site, on that day and saw the actual damage to Building 7 close up with his own eyes. One of the falsehoods that gets bandied about is that WTC 7 was not significantly damaged before it came down, but the fact that I have heard from my eyewitness friend is that it was. Unverified, sure, but I can only relate what I know. You are free to take it or leave it.

As far as i know New York doesnt have Earthquakes over 7+ so they wont be reinforced.
Simple logic
Ask all the vets on ats how their government forgot them when they could no longer kill for their BENEFIT

So how does SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE make all of the supports give SI8MULTANEOUSLY so the roofline remains straight while the collapse occurs?
It is amazing how people can not see stuff so obvious. The word SIGNIFICANT is so scientifically precise in describing physical phenomenon. The videos show how well synchronized the fall had to be all of the way across the building.

I appreciate you are entitled to your opinion as much as I am entitled to mine. Please don't try to put me in the truthers box or any other box that you feel I fit in. I am just looking at all the facts and they don't add up with the official version, period.

Each tower was designed to withstand an impact from two commercial planes
WTC7 was the first steel structure building in the world to collapse due to fire.

even to the extent of an airplane hitting the side," said John Skilling, head structural engineer.
The structural engineer who designed the towers said as recently as last week that their steel columns could remain standing if they were hit by a 707.
OK? NOW STOP CALLING US LIARS !

Still wrong, they were NOT designed to withstand a high speed airliner crash but you ignore that as it does not fit with your silly conspiracy theory!
