Christopher7:
1. I am glad you are open minded enough to have revised your statement (unlike most of your CT counterparts, who will not). However, your presente revision only holds true, if you have proven those two other buildings mentioned in the article I showed you were not in the USA.
2. I am willing to admit that WTC7 was POSSIBLY, but VERY UNLIKELY brought down by a CD. I am also willing to admit that it is POSSILBE, but VERY UNLIKELY that someone painted each of the steel beams in WTC7 with a new paint that ate away at the beams over 5-6 hours, and then forced the collapse...you get my drift. Without proof, there are a tonne of POSSIBLE, but VERY UNLIKELY causes...Given the qualifications of the NIST investigators, I will almost certainly agree with what ever conclusion they come to in their final report as the "MOST LIKELY" cause of the collapse of WTC7.
3. Wasn't there a huge cache of fuel in the basement/bottom floor of WTC7 that exploded and caused fires...or am I wrong? Wouldnt that explain the explosion...the molten metal, I believe is from WTC 1&2 debris, not WTC7.
4. As for "Global" collapse, I do not think that happened, in the traditional sense. WHile the entire building came down, not all of it collapsed at once. Looking at the debris field, one can see that the SOUTH SIDE Collapsed, and the North Face of the building fell over this debris, like a blanket, almost intact...Depends, I guess, on the official description of the term "Global" collapse.
