Why did you add Mick West's picture to the other picture?

It must be some hard to find some kind of propaganda to answer ALL the points I brought up that you can't answer.

I was right, you only answered about WTC 7 falling and I still think you're wrong.
Next, what about ALL the other points I brought up? With blinds over your eyes, it's hard to see the truth.
....and still no evidence of a plane hitting the pentagon...

It is sad that it took another tragedy to bring focus to the spaciousness of the 9/11 Truthers' arguments. And sadly another tragedy, the crash of Ethiopian Flight 302, may fill the same role this year in the arguments surrounding the fourth plane on 9/11: United Flight 93
Flight 93 crashed into a field on 9/11 after some of the passengers attempted to regain control. Inverted and at high speed, it buried itself in the dirt, leaving only a roughly plane-shaped crater and some scattered debris. The Truther refrain is "where's the plane", with the argument being that when planes crash you can see the plane.

You do understand at the flight 93 crash site the recovery crews excavated an area 70 feet by 70 feet, and 40 feet down to recovery the bulk of the aircraft?
Comparing truth movement websites, vs “debunking” sites, vs the documented facts might be a good start. Knowing all sides of the argument would be a good start.
It is hard. I did not want to believe the official story was wrong when I first heard about
Just some crazy conspiracy theory, nutters
Then I came across a story by the widows of the 9/11 victims, what was going on here? why where they getting treated like this if everything was right?
Then I found a video of WCT7 falling and knew
;The further I dug the more that did not add up. God help us all and the government bloody hell is not.

Watch the last video posted by openedeyesandears..... it was already known that building 7 was coming down prior to it's collapse.... people were told to move away... it was announced on tv that it was already down before it was and there were explosions.
Edit:
And how weird that the news reporters were all saying when it actually happened (live) that it looked like a controlled demolition.
And John Gross (nist investigator) was looking rather uncomfortable - showing signs of deception.

FDNY Chief of Operations Daniel Nigro, "Report from the Chief of Department," Fire Engineering, 9/2002)
I do remember us being pulled off the pile. ...We were down by the pile to search or looking around. 7 World Trade Center was roaring. I remember being pulled off the pile like just before. It wasn't just before. It was probably an hour before 7 came down. –Firefighter Kevin Howe
Hayden: By now, this is going on into the afternoon, and we were concerned about additional collapse, not only of the Marriott, because there was a good portion of the Marriott still standing, but also we were pretty sure that 7 World Trade Center would collapse. Early on, we saw a bulge in the southwest corner between floors 10 and 13, and we had put a transit on that and we were pretty sure she was going to col-lapse. You actually could see there was a visible bulge, it ran up about three floors. It came down about 5 o’clock in the afternoon, but by about 2 o’clock in the afternoon we realized this thing was going to collapse.
Firehouse Magazine: Was there heavy fire in there right away?
Hayden: No, not right away, and that’s probably why it stood for so long because it took a while for that fire to develop. It was a heavy body of fire in there and then we didn’t make any attempt to fight it. That was just one of those wars we were just going to lose. We were concerned about the collapse of a 47-story building there. We were worried about additional collapse there of what was remaining standing of the towers and the Marriott, so we started pulling the people back after a couple of hours of surface removal and searches along the surface of the debris. We started to pull guys back because we were concerned for their safety.
Firehouse: Chief Nigro said they made a collapse zone and wanted everybody away from number 7— did you have to get all of those people out?
Hayden: Yeah, we had to pull everybody back. It was very difficult. We had to be very forceful in getting the guys out. They didn’t want to come out. There were guys going into areas that I wasn’t even really comfortable with, because of the possibility of secondary collapses. We didn’t know how stable any of this area was. We pulled everybody back probably by 3 or 3:30 in the afternoon. We said, this building is going to come down, get back. It came down about 5 o’clock or so, but we had everybody backed away by then. –Deputy Chief Peter Hayden
There was a big discussion going on at that point about pulling all of our units out of 7 World Trade Center. Chief Nigro didn't feel it was worth taking the slightest chance of somebody else getting injured. So at that point we made a decision to take all of our units out of 7 World Trade Center because there was a potential for collapse.
Q. It was on fire, correct, Captain?
A. Yes, it was on fire at that time. Then they said it suffered some form of structural damage. These things were going on at the same time. The fact that we thought we found Ganci and Feehan and his place at 7 World Trade Center. Made the decision to back everybody away, took all the units and moved them all the way back toward North End Avenue, which is as far I guess west as you could get on Vesey Street, to keep them out of the way. –Captain Ray Goldbach
So we go there and on the north and east side of 7 it didn’t look like there was any damage at all, but then you looked on the south side of 7 there had to be a hole 20 stories tall in the building, with fire on several floors. Debris was falling down on the building and it didn’t look good. But they had a hose line operating. Like I said, it was hitting the sidewalk across the street, but eventually they pulled back too. –Capt. Chris Boyle

WTC7 did not fall perfectly staight look here
Want to explain how about 5 floors of the base exterior cladding still link are on TOP of the debris pile.
It wasn't just fire a top to bottom rip was created by the N Tower collapse also a chunk about 7 stories high on south west corner.

I've run a simulation with the Box2D physics engine as implemented in the Love2D framework. I created a 2D box and two 2D sticks holding it, then with the space key I moved one of the sticks away. The trajectory of the centre of mass of the box was traced. Here's the result
As you can see, the centre of mass of the box does barely move from the vertical; not even by one pixel in this simulation.

I agree with Hellbound, skyscrapers have a lot of mass and the relatively thin columns make it harder for the structure to tip over than e.g. in the Las Gladiolas example shown by Redwood. See Bazant and Zhou, 2002 Appendix II: Why Didn't the Upper Part Pivot About Its Base?
Basically, the first attempt at pivoting over the base makes the top section gain rotational momentum. The columns can't stand the lateral reaction force exerted by the part of the structure situated below the CoG, and the result is that the top pivots mostly over its CoG instead of over its base.

In simpler terms. Skyscrapers don’t fall over like tress because the are not solid. Skyscrapers are mostly hollow. Gravity always pulls straight down to the center of the earth. As soon as a skyscraper’s center of gravity of its load is misaligned” from perfectly perpendicular to the vertical columns, the columns cannot handle the dynamic lateral loading. They buckle, then with nothing to no longer “pivot” on, the structure falls straight down.
Simpler yet. For WTC 7 to “tip over” it would need pivot points. The pivots points will buckle before WTC 7 would ever tip over.
Again.
How did the Plasco high rise fire collapse and the Brazilian high rise fire collapse fall? Like a boat tipping over? No. Why would WTC 7 “tip over”
