The bldg 7 collapse started well before the outer shell started falling. You can see the penthouses on the roof start dropping 4 or 5 seconds before the outer shell came down.
It was NOT freefall speed.

Oh? So these "Fire Chiefs" somehow knew that the beam would expand with the heat, and walk itself off the top of column 79 ?

maybe might have been yep thats logic alright
One Battalion Chief coming from the building indicated that they had searched floors 1 through 9 and found that the building was clear.
In the process of the search, the Battalion Chief met the building’s Fire Safety Director and Deputy Fire Safety Director on the ninth floor. The Fire Safety Director reported that the building’s floors had been cleared from the top down. By this time, the Chief Officer responsible for WTC 7 reassessed the building again and determined that fires were burning on the following floors: 6, 7, 8, 17, 21, and 30.
No accurate time is available for these actions during the WTC 7 operations; however, the sequence of event indicates that it occurred during a time period from 12:30 p.m. to approximately 2:00 p.m.

No. They looked at the symptoms the building was exhibiting and concluded it would fall. They were right.
And why do you put fire chiefs in quotes? They are Chiefs Hayden and Nigro and their accounts are a matter of record. That their story does not fit Truthers' delusions is not their problem.

And yet the challenge remains to the debunkers!
CHALLENGE TO DEBUNKERS- Show me footage or any proof from a witness or fireman, which shows ANYONE installing cables to "pull" down WTC 7????

Sorry but NIST admitted to free-fall speed.

FDNY ceased interior operations in WTC 7 just after noon when assesment determined was too dangerous
Sprinklers were inoperable. No water pressure to fight fires. Fires on multiple floors and spreading
Assessing the situation incident commanders abandoned WTC 7 - no need to risk men for empty building

Um.... no they didn't. A portion of the roofline, for a brief period (2.25 seconds), during the perimeter collapse, descended at approximately 1 g. Truthers are the only ones that see this as sinister. I have yet to see a single structural engineer agree with them via a peer reviewed paper. Please spare me the "Chandler forced NIST to admit it" crap. The times of the collapses were appropriately graphed in NCSTAR1A and 1-9 reports on the original draft. Chandler had them put it in more layman terms.
Now, when you ANOK figure out what silent bombs caused this, please start a thread with proof. We are all interested!

No accurate time is available for these actions during the WTC 7 operations
At that time, other firefighters started showing up, Deputy Battalion Chief Paul Ferran of the 41 Battalion, and James Savastano of the First Division assigned to the Second Battalion showed up and we attempted to search and extinguish, at the time which was small pockets of fire in 7 World Trade Center. We were unaware of the damage in the front of 7, because we were entering from the northeast entrance. We weren't aware of the magnitude of the damage in the front of the building. – FDNY Captain Anthony Varriale
Then we received an order from Fellini, we’re going to make a move on 7. That was the first time really my stomach tightened up because the building didn’t look good. I was figuring probably the standpipe systems were shot. There was no hydrant pressure. I wasn’t really keen on the idea. Then this other officer I’m standing next to said, that building doesn’t look straight. So I’m standing there. I’m looking at the building. It didn’t look right, but, well, we’ll go in, we’ll see.
So we gathered up rollups and most of us had masks at that time. We headed toward 7. And just around we were about a hundred yards away and Butch Brandeis came running up. He said forget it, nobody’s going into 7, there’s creaking, there are noises coming out of there, so we just stopped. And probably about 10 minutes after that, Visconti, he was on West Street, and I guess he had another report of further damage either in some basements and things like that, so Visconti said nobody goes into 7, so that was the final thing and that was abandoned.
