WTC Building 7 on 9/11
- Thread starter battig1370
- Start date
We are going in circles here because you ignore or forget any facts that might jeopardize your conspiracy theory. It would require a lot of explosives and a lot of time to load up a building like that. You even said that "they didn't do this on 9/11, they had all the time in the world before." Someone beforehand would have wondered what the bombs attached to the steel columns were for. Are you suggesting they loaded up the building with explosives while it was already burning and damaged? Even if they lived through that they would not have enough time.
But that isn't the reason why I don't think there were any bombs involved. I think that because there is no reliable evidence that there were!
You don't see my point? Here we go again. You said - "firefighters do not stay away from steel framed buildings under suspicion that they will collapse ask anyone." Yet we have a fire here which partially collapse a steel building (your example). This is a building that did not have the rubble from any skyscrapers landing on it. Steel buildings can collapse due to fire.
It is very understandable why the firefighters backed off. Well firstly they were right the building did collapse. But also they had already lost so many lives that day. The whole WTC complex was in ruins. It was not worth risking lives trying to put out the fires with little or no water pressure.
You can't get an indication of the 10 story gash from a picture of the roof! You can't even tell if that gash starts at the roof. Look at this video. Tell me that is just a "5 foot deep scratch"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GEEzHn4tqo
Nice straw man. You know I am not saying that. No that gash alone isn't the reason the building fell. It is just an indication that WTC7 was seriously damaged by falling debris. Remember you said "there is no visible damage to anything". You are wrong.
An isolated incident? It is the incident we are discussing. What are you talking about?
i noticed that nobody has addressed this quote of mine.
first we have hurricane angel stating that the steel conducted heat away too fast.
i mention the pillars were made of steel reinforced concrete.
now i mention this (above quote) aspect of the collapse and he hasn't even addressed it.
I can only talk to so many people at a time i must have missed it, i don't deliberately avoid posts..
We should probably take this one step at a time anyways... so I would say we should discuss the first thing that could have possibly occured in wtc 7;
the morning before people showed up for work and the fires began.
or whatever somebody else brings up, but i think we can cover things alot more in depth with one thing on the table.

Wish I would have seen this thread a few weeks back....
Their are way to many incriminating facts in this cover up to write it off
as just a "loose change" weak conspiracy theory
I been hoping to see this argument being made in the thread I started

recently this from C-Span2
70's TV star "Ed Azner" gives a great spew in this very interesting clip
http://www.c-spanarchives.org/library/index.php?main_page=product_video_info&products_id=200498-1&tID=5
WTC 7 is clearly a problem for the government to explain
I been waiting for six years for them to just say ...
" Ya we had to bring it down "
but they can't .....so they say nothing .....
and thats good enough for the american sheeple
six years later
what a friggin joke ..........
it is amazing to me that so many people
do not even know about tower 7
let alone make a connection to something being terribly a miss
has anyone brought up the fact that weeks before the attack
the trade center was under going major re-wireing and the buldings
were closed and powered down for 12 hours at a time all headed up by a "BUSH" relative working as head of security on the project no one was allowed in or out and when people returned to work the following days the offices were covered in concrete dust .........
I recently seen the History channel special on 911 conspiracy
they didnt even touch on any of the serious questions at all
a friggen two hour special ...by popular mechnics no less ... that never
asked about the core beam angled cuts in the captured pictures
the molten lava in the basements 6 weeks later
the explosions in the basements before a plane ever touched the building
let alone ......no answer for why tower 7 mysteriuosly fell .....
but they had no problem spending the last 45 minutes
trying to make anyone who doubted them feel guilty....
and a whole bunch of sheeple fell right in
I can't remember the last time the history channel had a two hour special
A few years back a friend gave me a copy of that issue of popular mechanics
10 -911 conspiracy theories debunked.....
I had not even heard of 9 of those goofy theories at that point
but still had my own reasons to think it was an inside job
I read or heard somewhere that a "Bush" relative was one of the head editors
for popular mechanics magizine......ya ya ya ..not able to comfirm that I thought it was probably BS too ....
but low and behold we have this mechanics magizine
making a two hour special for history channel that really is about as informative as Fox News when it comes to seriously investigating 911
they only touched on all the weakest arguments ....anybody else catch that or is it just me ?

-But what you think about the Oklahoma bombing, look that picture and the size of that hole, now imagine the building raging in full fire and then, can you imagine it fallin in freefall speed to its own footprint. I cant.
Excellent point, in my highly-esteemed opinion.
Only difference being that the Murrah building had it's entire side shaved off, thus reducing the burden on the lower supports which would have been under undue pressure if there had remained more structure at the top.
OKC was a very interesting and suspicious case. That's my personal conclusion from all my research into it. An explosives expert said that the columns on the front of the building appeared to have been cut with locally planted charges, and that the extent of the damage could not have been due to a fertilizer bomb alone.
Another interesting tidbit: the ATF agents were told in advance that coming to work that day (offices on one of the upper cloors) was optional. Basically, they were warned of the bomb threat.
Also consider the John Doe #2 fiasco, where they dropped the search for the mysterious middle-eastern looking man very early (and prematurely) in the investigation.
Lots of things to look at in this case.
dan rather said about building 7 when it collapsed:
"it looks almost like one of those controlled demolitions"
so, why would most people not know about building 7?
so, are you going to address my post of building 7 being constructed over a sub station that it wasn't designed to carry?
as a matter of fact building 7 was almost twice as large as the designed limit of the ground it was constructed on.
it's really amazing how people conveniently dismiss such things, then jump all over a conspiracy when it comes along.
Well even if this were true (I don’t think it is - http://www.911myths.com/html/wtc_power_down.html) what are you suggesting here? That the building was full of explosives weeks before the attack and not one person noticed? Do you realise how much explosives are needed to bring a building down?
Anyway supposedly the power was down on one of the towers. So one tower was full of explosives but the other fell due to the planes? These theories are so full of holes.
Then they flew planes into the building that was already loaded up with invisible explosives and the building started collapsing at the point where the planes hit. Yeah ok.
I know of one photo of a beam that has an angle to it. Were you aware that beams were cut as part of the clean up?
Molten lava
. Perhaps you mean molten metal or steel. I’m not sure that this is true either (there is no reliable evidence) but even if it were it doesn’t imply that a short, quick explosive was used to cause a collapse. An incendiary like thermite would not cause molten metal weeks later.It is just another example of a supposedly suspicious “fact”.
There is no reliable evidence for any explosions in the basement. I have read a lot of conspiracy theorists trying to distort witness testimony to prove that there was though. Usually any testinomy mentioning a 'bang' in the basement is all that is needed to prove there were bombs. Never mind that a very large plane loaded with jet fuel just flew into the building.
If there were bombs in the basement why did the building collapse from the top down?
Anyone with an open mind who does 20 minutes of research will see that it isn’t such a big mystery why WTC7 fell.
So the points you mentioned are the stronger arguments?
I can consider this as a plausible explanation if that is the case
why aren't they saying this is the reason six years later
aside from the Wikipedia
one of these videos I recently seen shows a nice shot
from above after the collapse their didn't appear to be any cave in
if that is what your suggesting ....was their a hole there after they cleared the debris ?
Did you watch this clip leopold99
http://www.911blogger.com/node/10025
do you think all these architects missed the sub basement issue ?
are they just hell bent on wasting everyones time ?
When I said
I have to say almost all the people I have a face to face conversation with
about this ....do not know anything or very little about tower 7
:shrug:
no, i have not watched it all.
i watched up until the words "controlled demolition" rolled out of the guys mouth then stopped.
this thread is about building 7, not WTC 1 and 2.
frankly, yes.
why?
well you watched the clip and you never mentioned it.
i do not mean to make you mad but i simply do not believe you.
the collapse of building 7 was shown over, and over, and over, and over, on the evening news. so, for you to say that people do not know about building 7 is either an outright lie or an outright omission.

The interesting thing is that there were no casualties from Building 7 WTC, here is a list of the casualties and were they were located, Building 7 was evacuated before the collapse, and there were no casualties there.

There were 125 civilians and military personnel at the Pentagon.
1,609 people lost a spouse or partner on 9/11. More than 3,051 children lost parents.

I agree it sounds silly when you look at it from another perspective
and of course you could tell " Willy Rodriguez " He imagined it all
the guy who witnessed the whole event first hand seems very concerned that things aren't right ...try to watch it
http://www.c-spanarchives.org/libra...product_video_info&products_id=200498-1&tID=5
that is the first thing I thought when I seen the pictures aswell
the Cleanup ......
But yet the two hour history channel special never even mentioned it
or anyone else aside from you that I remember
shouldn't they want to clear the air of such a myth
What would cause Molten Metal
?their were photos of if and firemen mentioned it also a satillite picture of the hot spots
I am open minded to the idea I'm being mislead
I have done more then 20 minutes of research
seems odd that most of the obvious plausible explinations
are like well kept secrets
I guess I'm behind the curve here ...
I honestly had not heard mention of the Sub basement before reading this thread or the wiki
I honestly have not heard anyone suggest that the cleanup crews cut the beams before this thread either ....although that was my first assumption
thanks for the 911review link
I'm still reading
He does talk quite a bit about building 7
but I guess you already know everything
I had honestly never heard it mentioned before your post
My mistake
OK lets split hairs
Of course I did not mean that most people had no Idea of the existance or collapse of tower 7 ....:bugeye:
I meant that they did not know about the detailed suspicious accusations
surrounding biulding 7 ......
Thanks for pouncing on the trivial
I’ve read a little about Rodriguez before. Apparently he was a hero on 9/11 and seems to genuinely believe that something wasn’t right that morning.
However was he really in a position to know? He heard a bang while in the basement but how could he know that the bang wasn’t caused by the plane hitting the building? He certainly couldn’t know what was going on outside from the basement. Sound travels much quicker through solids than it does through the air so he may certainly have heard more than one bang.One would be from the noise traveling down the columns and another from travelling though the air.
He also mentioned hearing explosions which isn't really surprising either.
His own testimony taken directly after the event doesn’t to anything to support his suspicions.
Sceptical discussion on William Rodriguez: http://911stories.googlepages.com/home
Well there are a lot of claims to address. Perhaps they just addressed the most common. Don’t know.
There are a couple of photos here of people cutting the steel as part of clean up. I can find more.

There are a lot more conspiracy sites than debunking sites so it takes a bit of looking to get good information. From what I have seen the debunking sites easily address every point the conspiracy sites bring up.
Thanks for the Links Shaman
Good Stuff if you have anymore I'd greatly appreciate it
Good Stuff if you have anymore I'd greatly appreciate it
But you're not really posting many resources.
The problem I see is that we are posting many links and such, whereas you said "I don't know.. maybe" or "Yeah, I don't think that could happen". And Buffalo roam keeps posting government sources... which don't offer much insight, since it is clearly not a neutral source.
Yes if you don't mind Shaman
I could use a list of good debunking sites
Thanks

The information is provable by science and engineering, on site forensics, so because it comes from as source that you claim is Government does that make it less valid, the sources that you post didn't have access to the site, and to the recovered materials, the people from most of the sites you post never were on ground zero, and they have no actual real world contact with the site. You can make a model do any think you want by changing the variables or not having the all the information, and guessing, and making a WAG, WILD ASS GUESS, and that is what all of your conspiracy theories are WAG.
This is interesting, I have a Uncle who served on the boats in WWII, and he tells stories of surface attacks on Japanese convoys, and the fact that when the torpedo hit you would hear 2 bangs, one transmitted through the water to the hull of the boat, the second when the sound waves traveling through the air finally arrived at the boat, he claimed that there was up to a 5 second difference between the two.
