What was the point of blowing up WTC7

Big No on the insurance. They might, if you're lucky, give you the replacement value of the building to cover the construction costs, but in the intervening period between the building's destruction and the opening of the new one, you lose all the monthly rent, and you have to waste a bunch of time and money dealing with constructing the new edifice.

Also, see this thread for why insurance fraud isn't a viable motive:

If that was insurance fraud, it was the single stupidest insurance fraud in the history of ever. -- JonnyFive

A claim I heard a long time ago was: The CIA had a major office in WTC7. The organisation carrying out the WTC attacks was a blacker-than-black ops agency that nobody's heard of. They demolished the CIA HQ in order to send a message to the CIA along the lines of "We know where you live, so don't come after us because this is what we'll do to you if you try it". As everybody knows, the CIA is a collective wuss that automatically gives in to any kind of physical intimidation.

Point? There was no "point". The NWO is just plain eeeevil, man.

 

[Thunder]

possibly insurance claim?

do you realize how much rent money Silverstein has LOST since the towers came down????

it is pointless to take down buildings that are bringing in billions in rent every year, so that you can build new buildings ten years later...and then collect rent..again.

this logic only works in the minds of truthers.

No one purposefully demolishes 30 year old profitable skyscrapers.

1. blow up building
2. lose millions in rent
3. rebuild at current NYC prices
4. ???
5 profit!!!!

What was the point of blowing up WTC7

Destroying three of the most iconic buildings in the world, destroying four aircraft, and killing almost 3,000 people in instances of utter terror was not quite enough to get us Kool-Aid drinkers on board for a strike at Iraq. No, we needed that one last building, empty, to fall, seven hours later. Three buildings, four aircraft and 3,000 people? Ok, but NO MORE! WTC 7 was "the last straw," as they say.

Or, they destroyed all of the 9/11 planning evidence in that collapse. Whatever the truthers say is fine.

By the way, if debris from WTC 2 hadn't hit and perforated WTC 7, causing fires, the U.S. Government would have had no plausible explanation for WTC 7's collapse. Isn't it curious then that WTC 2 seemingly cooperated with the federal government? How did it know that it must eject its debris into WTC 7? What wonderful serendipity that was. I mean, if you believe that Flight 93 was supposed to crash into WTC 7, and that plan was ruined by the selfish passengers, merely trying to save themselves and not onboard with the Iraq directive, then you have to believe the U.S. Government was obscenely fortunate when they ultimately got their WTC 7 "plane crash." Do you think it was dumb luck, or do you believe the U.S. Government controlled the collapse debris from WTC 2 and directed it into WTC 7?

Whatever you believe, you have to ask yourself why the U.S. Government waited seven hours (seven hours!!) to collapse WTC 7, in front of what they must have anticipated would be many news (and amateur) video cameras (read: eyewitnesses who are clever enough---see:truthers---to recognize when the laws of physics are violated), instead of destroying WTC 7 in the midst of WTC 2's considerable dust cloud (when no one would have witnessed the collapse---hence, no pesky questions from pesky truthers). Man, for dudes who planned---and executed, seemingly flawlessly (in regards to operational aspects)---such a complex operation, they certainly didn't seem to be using their brains correctly.


ETA: My comments are not necessarily directed at the OP. I'm sure he knows that.

[TM mode]Oh definitely a CD - it's the Controlled that puts the C in CD. They have these super secret military thermite shaped charges. Shaped means it gives you the ability to direct debris from a CD. [TM mode]

The one that takes the cake for me after I asked this same question in another forum:

occult reasons

Something to do with sacred geometry or the three buildings mimicing the pyramids of giza or maybe their bohemian grove-style satanism.

 

[ravdin]

Actually, I have yet to hear an explanation from the truthers about who pulled off this caper. Who exactly is involved this "NWO"? Apparently, it's poor form to ask.

 

[Praktik]

Here dug it up - I pressed him on the occult reasons but he demurred, cause he knew it wouldn't really be well-received, here's the most he was willing to give us:

"As for the occult connection between 3 buildings -it has nothing to do with the pyramid and eye - but I am not even going to get into it - it would be a lost cause.

If you want you could study the first degree tracing board of the Mason's - but that is all I am going to give you."​

Anyone got a link to where this theory is fully fleshed out?

Wow.

 

[Praktik]

indeed... he DID mention the three pyramids of giza in a different thread recently, something about the towers being an intentional replica of them in some way - but it was just an aside in an unrelated thread so it never got fleshed out.

maybe the masons were pyramid enthusiasts?

I dont get the connection between their "first degree tracing board" and the pyramids but its probably because of my university "programming" and my unwillingness to challenge any of the assumptions I paid so dearly to "learn" in my time at school.

As for the reason being to get rid of docuements;

There are two types of docs that supposedly were to be destroyed by lighting the building on fire then demolishing it several hours later; docuements contained in certain gov't offices in the building which, supposedly, were not backed up anywhere else. Exactly why anyone would want to do this comes down to a Les Nessman attitude of, "the DoJ was a tenent, they have docuements pertaining to their cases. Think about it"; and docuements and equipment pertaining to the use of WTC 7 as the command post for the demolition of the towers. However the safest thing to do with docuements of either type would be to cross shred them into bins or bags and then take them to another location and burn them. This is what happened to docuements on the military base that I spent 6 months at. There was a guard of two armed grunts watching the bags burn. They never saw the unshredded docuements, only the bags, and they were not allowed to open the bags before putting them into the incinerator, only stir the burning contents of the incinerator to ensure no piece went unburned.

The best way to get rid of equipment would be to remove it from the site altogether rather than risk that a FF or clean up crew see it.
If its just a hard drive then that is no harder than removing it from the computer and putting it in the inside pocket of a jacket. A metal shredder would suffice to make all data irretreivable but if you wished you could subject it to a very large alternatling magnetic field first.

One small cardboard sonontube wrapped with ~ 200 coils of #16 lamp cord. Place HDD in tube and run household current through the lamp cord until the wire burns. The resultant magnetic feild will scramble the HDD. Now you can shred the entire HDD. But wait there's more,,,,,, the above won't take all that long so now take the remains of the HDD and replace it in the middle of the 10th floor of WTC 7 about 30 minutes before demolishing the building.

Has any twoofer ever given any reason that makes even a modicum of sense as to why the NWO blew up WTC7? Any twoofer that still posts here want to take a stab at it? Keep in mind that I am not interested in how you "know" it was a controlled demolition, I want know why they did it.

Either FL93 or FL23 was supposed to fly into it, but never made it. They blew up WTC 7 before anyone found the explosives.

 

[dtugg]

I see. And the NWO planned take all that extra risk of flying a plane into and then destroying some building that nobody had ever heard of because _____________________? And the plane never made it there because ____________________?

Thanks in advance for illuminating me, Mr Galilei.

 

[Macgyver1968]

Y'all have it all wrong...the insiders just wanted to prove "7" is NOT a lucky number.

 

[Corsair 115]

What was the point of blowing up WTC7? Because the building itself was evil. Just as Project Satan produced a car of pure evil, the construction of WTC7 produced a building of pure evil. Thus it had to be destroyed.

 

[jaydeehess]

Ok, I'll bite.

First off, why attack WTC 7 in the first place? It was not known around the world or even well known in the USA itself, still isn't. There would have been more to gain by attacking General Motors headquaters. That building would be rather unknown but the company itself is known world wide.

Aside from the active imagination of whomever came up with the senario you give, what evidence is there to bolster the contention?

How close did either aircraft come to WTC 7 before it ended up in its actual final location that day? How far away was it at its furthest?

Good thing the building caught fire due to the collapse of WTC 1 and that some large pieces of WTC 1 hit WTC 7 causing damage. It'd be embarrassing to have a building collapse with no fire or only broken windows.

So what was the reason for causing so much damage to WTC 3,4,5,6 that they also collapsed or had to be brought down? or the building on West Broadway, or the Deutcshe Bank Building

The mass murderers who blew it up are evil.
