9-11 Revisited: World Trade Center Building 7

Once in a while, when surfing the Internet, there is something I find that falls into the "Holy F__k!" category of information. This is one of these things. If I were religious I'd pray on it, if I were important I'd speak about about it, but I'm not. So I'll blog it.

September 11, 2001 was a day immortalized when World Trade Center 1 and World Trade Center 2 fell due to a "series of coordinated terrorist suicide attacks by Islamic extremists." (Wikipedia) Of course, these two buildings were by no means the only ones effected, as burning rubble and debris showered down from the falling towers, initiating numerous smaller fires below.

All eight of the World Trade Center buildings were (and continue to be) arranged in a plaza, with WTCs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 forming a circular shape and WTC 7 sitting directly across the street. And at 5:20 PM EST, several hours after Towers 1 and 2 fell, WTC 7 collapsed, due to what was officially explained as a structure fire caused by falling debris.

However, as detailed by the below videos, it seems impossible that it was a mere structure fire that caused the building to fall. For one thing, never before and never since has a fire in a steel framed building like WTC 7 caused the total collapse of a building, (see video 1) and has certainly never caused a building to collapse in the manner that WTC 7 collapsed. As can be seen clearly in the below videos, WTC 7 collapsed straight down (as did the other trade centers, by the way), meaning that when it fell it landed entirely in its own footprint. For this to occur, every one of the load bearing members on the ground floor would have had to have failed at exactly the same time, suggesting the deliberate detonation of an explosive device. As can be seen in the bellow photographs, when a building collapses normally and only one of the load bearing members fails, the building tips or rotates on the initiating point, leading to a tilt or lean. What the collapse of WTC 7 indicates is a controlled demolition (See video 2).

"The photos [above] are of buildings collapsed by an earthquake. They show the typical result of a single load bearing member failure - the buildings are tipped over onto the initiating point." (The above photos and caption are copied and pasted directly from http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/wtc7.html. Visit their site for more images, videos, and information regarding the fall of World Trade Center 7.)

When a tall building in a densely populated area is collapsed, this demolition is triggered by an explosion in the center of the buildings basement. This creates a shock wave that rocks the entire building, and causes it to collapse directly downward, thus not effecting nearby buildings (See the below videos). As can be heard in Video 2, passersby reportedly heard a loud cracking sound "like thunder," and witnessed fire spreading through several lower floors of the building. Also, as can be seen in both the videos, think streamers of smoke, much like that that emits from a controlled explosion, rose up from the bottom of the building (see below photo). Scarier still, the roof of WTC 7 can be seen crumbling just before the collapse, indicating that a powerful shock wave from inside the building, and not falling debris, caused the building's fall.

"Half-way through Building 7's 6.5-second plunge, streamers suggestive of demolition charges emerged from the facade." (Photo and caption from http://www.wtc7.net/)

Said CNN's Dan Rather of the occurrence, "Amazing, incredible, pick your word. For the third time today, it’s reminiscent of those pictures we’ve all seen too much on television before, where a building was deliberately destroyed by well placed dynamite to knock it down.” (See video 2)

As should be obvious, terrorists could not have created this explosion, and so could not have initiated the building's collapse. A demolition of this size would require weeks, even months of preparation in a central, fairly visible section of a highly trafficked building. Needless to say, this implies profoundly frightening things as to the nature of what officials knew and didn't know prior to the terrorist attacks.

It has also been stated that it was Mayor Giulliani's storage of Diesel fuel in WTC 7 that led to the collapse, not a controlled explosive device. However, this scenario is unable to explain why it is that every single load bearing member on the ground floor failed simultaneously.

Most telling of the evidence, however, comes in the form of a brief (accidental?) statement from Larry Silverstein, the owner of the World Trade Centers at the time of the attack (NOTE: This statement can be heard about halfway through Video 2.) Silverstein speaks of how he chose to initiate the collapse because of the "risk of fire." If this is the case, why is it that Silverstein chose to collapse only WTC 7, the World Trade Center building farthest away from WTC 1 and 2? And why is it that the official explanation of the building's collapse is a structure fire?

Maybe Larry Silverstein has an answer. Says Silverstein "and I said...'maybe the smartest thing to do is, is pull it'...and they made that decision to pull and then we watched the building collapse." Since the demolition of WTC 7, Silverstein's insurers are set to provide $861 million in financial reimbursement FOR JUST THAT SINGLE BUILDING. Silverstein's debt on the property less than half that, at $383 million. (http://thewebfairy.com/killtown/wtc7.html)
