To send Silverstein into BILLIONS of dollars in debt?
Now, that's not fair. Silverstein only lost about $200 million on WTC7.

Let's ask again: What was the MOTIVE for WTC7?
Now, that's not fair. Silverstein only lost about $200 million on WTC7.
WTC 7 was pulled because it might collapse into the search and rescue area. There was no motive for a conspiracy or inside job.
I'm curious about this particularly persistent canard. Do you honestly think that even a majority of the sensitive information stored in the WTC 7 was in paper form?

It seems like a waste to risk demolishing another busy skyscraper in New York City when demolishing the building does nothing to further the supposed goals of running the operation, taking away civil liberties and invading Iraq. To me, destroying court case documents that have nothing to do with the main goal isn't worth the risk of being caught while wiring a building for demolition.
Then again, I could be missing a few pieces of the puzzle.
most Americans and the world have lttle clue buildings other than the Towers and Pentagon were damaged much less collapsed. WTC# 5, 6, 7, the Deutche bank are not well known or associated with 9/11 outside those who pay more attention to it. Truthers thrive on this to show a "cover up"2. More "shock & awe" to get Americans hyped for war with Afghanistan and Iraq. Then why wait to destroy the building until everyone was safely evacuated? Even the "troofers" admit that most Americans don't know WTC7 collapsed that day, so how did it's destruction help the push for war?
Ah, yes, I'd heard MaGZ's stated reason as well, and it's the most sensible of the reasons. It's only crazy because there's no human way to plan a CD in seven hours in a building on fire. This is Jowenko's theory, by the way. He thinks they got in, planted charges on the core columns in about an hour and a half (having enough focused people to do this), got out, and took it down. He says the perimeter columns would have failed on their own.
And he is a Demo expert so why are you so quick to disbelieve him?
Appeal to authority much?
Is it a fallacious appeal to authority? No.
Jowenko is a demo expert talking about a demolition.
If you could just reply "appeal to authority" like that, then we could dismiss any experts testimony on anything.
Maybe they blew up WTC7 to destroy the paper shredder. Has Steve Jones found any paper shredder molecules in that lady's apartment yet?Sensitive documents, by definition, carry with them a security and disposal plan. I gravely doubt the disposal process included "set fire to and then dynamite the building" anywhere on their checklist.
Honestly, when Arthur Anderson got nailed, did they CD their offices? Did Ollie North send Fawn Hall out to rig their office with thermite? The answer is NO, people.
Expert testimony matters when they can prove it.
Can Jowenko bring a demo crew and do the same thing he claims to do? I will take an experts opinion over another based on what they bring to the table. Jowenko has mainly speculation.
Is it a fallacious appeal to authority? No.

Actually, it is rather fallacious in the case of Jowenko, because he did not base his *cough* "expert" opinion on facts or evidence. Rather, he based his *cough* "expert" opinion on a very casual look at an incomplete video clip, on grossly incomplete information presented to him, and on his own completely irrelevant personal views on unrelated matters.
