Until you can prove differently, all your penthouse theorizing is just that.
Are you denying the penthouse collapse preceded the collapse of the N and W walls by several seconds, MM ?
That would be truly remarkable.

Everyone is blowing smoke but no one is attempting to address the argument.
Frustration will do that I guess.

Some people have said that a failure at one column should not have produced a symmetrical fall like this one. What's your answer to those assertions?
WTC 7's collapse, viewed from the exterior (most videos were taken from the north), did appear to fall almost uniformly as a single unit. This occurred because the interior failures that took place did not cause the exterior framing to fail until the final stages of the building collapse. The interior floor framing and columns collapsed downward and pulled away from the exterior frame. There were clues that internal damage was taking place, prior to the downward movement of the exterior frame, such as when the east penthouse fell downward into the building and windows broke out on the north face at the ends of the building core. The symmetric appearance of the downward fall of the WTC 7 was primarily due to the greater stiffness and strength of its exterior frame relative to the interior framing.

Not in unison [simultaneous performance of action]?
I see the complete building (in unison) collapsing symmetrically.
Your goalposts have not been moved.

As you well know;
WTC 2, WTC 1, and WTC 7 all fell completely.
WTC 2, WTC 1, and WTC 7 all fell at high speed.
WTC 2 and WTC 1 were both; quite symmetrical, and fountain-like in their cascading, top-down, imploding collapses.
WTC 7 had a quite symmetrical, lower floor (for those who quibble about the height), imploding collapse.
The fires were never fought at their source inside WTC 1 and WTC 2.
Failed controlled demolitions can result in partial, or off balance collapses.
Successful controlled demolitions do not.
Look again;
WTC 7

No one has shown a comparison example of a concrete and steel highrise that had a total, high speed collapse as a result of fire!
MM
It isn't just a matter of; could fire cause a concrete and steel building such as WTC7 to collapse?
But, could any fire make such a building suffer a complete collapse with the same symmetry as is achieved in a successfully executed controlled demolition?
Plain and simple, the answer is no.
Somehow you don't think 3 times in the same day, and not under similar circumstances is statistically impossible?
Don't answer that.
I know the knee-jerk response.
You can't argue against a person's religion, especially when you are inside their church.
Hopefully my efforts will make the visiting potential converts think twice,
or at least think.

.Your only point of "evidence" is that you "see" the building coming down symmetrically.
.
... by ignoring the first several seconds of the collapse, and the damage done to two different buildings across two different streets from WCT7...
.
... and the lack of a tightly synchronised series of explosions and flashes. And the lack of flying glass from the unprepped building ...
