Are you an expert in CD? How could you tell the difference between a fire-induced collapse and a CD? All controlled demotions use very loud explosives that can be heard for miles...How do you account for the lack of any audible explosive sounds? There are numerous videos of the collapse, and none show the tell tale explosive sounds like this:

Clearly you didn't read my post carefully, since I specifically said I was not an expert. People did report explosions. I would also assume that steps could be taken to reduce the sounds. IOW a normal controlled demolitions is, as the other poster mentioned, exposing all the supports, often you can see into the building and see the actual charges from outside the building because all the non-support walls on some lower levels are gone. Again, I don't know.
Why did one set of windows blow out just before collapse in a vertical line, just as in cds? If it was the building distorting why this perfect line?
Why haven't other fires made such a perfect demolition, when even profession demolitions often go wrong?
ARe there other examples of fire induced collapses of healthy buildings anything like this? Maybe there are. I don't know.
I know when I want to covertly demolish a building...I always announce it to the media. Could it be that Silverstein was talking about "pulling" the firefighters from the area?
He said it, not them. You are assuming he was in on the conspiracy, if there was one, I was assuming the opposite.
The FDNY reported kinks in the outer structure hours before the collapse. They predicted the building would fall. The building burned for 7 hours without any firefighting efforts.
Without much fire. So why don't demolition teams make kinks in the outer structure of buildings?
If you believe that building 7 was CD'ed, then please answer these questions:
1. Why would they cd a building that no one outside of NY had ever heard of..and why did they wait 7 hours to initiate the collapse?
I could come up with some reasons, but the official explanation bears the onus of proof. I am skeptical of it.
2. Why did they wait for everyone in the building to be evacuated before initiating the charges? (no one died in building 7)
Come on, you haven't read any conspiracy explanations for this? You don't know whose offices were in that building?
3. How did they manage to plant the explosive charges in the building without anyone noticing?
Yeah, if we wanted to blow up a building in Europe with help from inside a similar building - again check out who had offices there - we could not set the charges without being discovered by those not in the know. Please.
