dude...look it up on a map. google earth it if you need an actual image.
If you have a map drawn to scale, feel free to post the link. Google Earth is useless because I dont know how wide any of the other streets are to compare it with

]32 feet sidewalk to sidewalk, 60 feet or so building to building
have to check it out some (barclay)
beach, we have to stop holding these nutters hands if you want them to learn how to do their own homework.
when they need an answer that is a simple as bringing up google earth, please let them do it on their own to find the answer. that is the only way they are ever going to learn something.

I am desperately sorry I don't the width of a street 14,000 miles from where I live, in a city I have never been too
I am also sorry I was not aware of the precision available to me on google Earth, because Google maps is a complete waste of time at street level
I spent 45 minutes googling Barclay Street in New York. I can even give you a tennency list of every building in the street building by building.
If you are going to brand someone a nutter for asking how wide a street is, maybe it is time for you to take a break from all this. And I am terribly sorry I wasted your obviously valuable time.
I have always lived by the creed, if I dont know something. Go ask people who will know. If you think that approach is wrong, then one of us has a problem, and I dont think it is me
But I have been using Google earth to find all the places I have forgot I lived in, in fact I am not sure if you even have "google Earth" installed.
But the street was about 32 feet sidewalk to sidewalk and 60 to the buildings.
2-3 meters?! Has that guy ever been to NYC? The streets downtown are not wide but I would guesstimate they are a minimum of 20 feet wide.Thanks for that, I grabbed it off the first post you put through. The reason for asking was a troother is trying to sell to me that the building fell in its own footprint, and this is proved by the arial photos that show the debris only spraying out across Barclay Street which is 2 to 3 meters by his estimate. The reality is the debris is spread some 10 meters, which makes a major hole in his arguement
Barclay is a normal 2-lane-wide (one way) street, wide enough for two trucks to pass each other easily.Okay, getting picky here. But can any native New Yorkers give me an idea of how wide Barclay Street is near the WT7 site?
Thanks guys

Being a New Yorker I can tell you most of the streets by the WTC were probably less than 3 meters. This area was very condensed. Many streets are 1 way. No parking was allowed by the WTC and on other nearby streets. Once you get above Houston Street, roads generally get bigger, even the 1 way streets.2-3 metres? Hah.
In New Zealand, by law a road has to be a minimum 3m wide to allow fire appliance access - and if you're going to allow parking, you have to add that to the 3m minimum. I imagine any major city is pretty much the same.
Of course his theory is kind of screwed by the fact that WTC7 fell ACROSS the entire street and slumped against 30 W Broadway on the other side.

Wall Street around the corner was named after a Wall there pre revolutionary war to protect people from Indians. It was not the most well though out of city planning.
It was very easy for falling debris to hit other buildings and alot did. No building fell into its own footprint. Anyone who says they did is not familiar with the events of 9/11 and its affects on Lower Manhattan.
