Building 7 did, in fact, fall.

Rodriguez' story did, in fact, change, repeatedly.

Try again.

Show me exactly where I made these claims. You know, provide your evidence to back them.

it doesn't but look here:

Examples of nuclear weapon yields
Comparative fireball diameters for a selection of nuclear weapons. Note that full blast effects would extend many times beyond the fireball itself.

Comparative fireball diameters for a selection of nuclear weapons. Note that full blast effects would extend many times beyond the fireball itself.

In order of increasing yield (most yield figures are approximate):

* Davy Crockett tactical nuclear weapon: variable yield 0.01–1 kt — mass only 23 kg (51 lb), lightest ever deployed by the United States (same warhead as Special Atomic Demolition Munition and GAR-11 Nuclear Falcon missile).
* Hiroshima's "Little Boy" gravity bomb: 12–15 kt — gun type uranium-235 fission bomb (the first of the two nuclear weapons that have been used in warfare).
* Nagasaki's "Fat Man" gravity bomb: 20–22 kt — implosion type plutonium-239 fission bomb (the second of the two nuclear weapons used in warfare).
* W-76 warhead 100 kt (10 of these may be in a MIRVed Trident II missile).
* B61 nuclear bomb: Mod 7 (up to 350 kt), Mod 10 (4 yield options: 0.3 kt, 1.5 kt, 60 kt, and 170 kt), and Mod 11 (undisclosed yield).
* W-87 warhead: 300 kt (10 of these were in a MIRVed LG-118A Peacekeeper).
* W-88 warhead: 475 kt (8 of these may be in a Trident II missile).
* Ivy King device: 500 kt — most powerful pure fission bomb; 60 kg uranium; implosion type.
* B83 nuclear bomb: variable, up to 1.2 Mt; most powerful U.S. weapon in active service.
* B53 nuclear bomb: 9Mt, most powerful US warhead; no longer in active service, but 50 are retained as part of the "Hedge" portion of the Enduring Stockpile; similar to the W-53 warhead that has been used in the Titan II Missile, decommissioned in 1987.
* Castle Bravo device: 15 Mt — most powerful US test.
* EC17/Mk-17, the EC24/Mk-24, and the B41 (Mk-41) (most powerful US weapons ever: 25 Mt; the Mk-17 was also the largest by size and mass: ca. 20 tons; the Mk-41 had a mass of 4800 kg; gravity bombs carried by B-36 bomber (retired by 1957).
* The entire Operation Castle nuclear test series: 48.2 Mt — the highest-yielding test series conducted by the U.S.
* Tsar Bomba device: 50 Mt — USSR, most powerful explosive device ever, mass of 27 short tons (24 metric tons), in its "full" form (i.e. with a depleted uranium tamper instead of one made of lead) it would have been 100 Mt.
* All nuclear testing: 510.4 Mt — total megatonnage expended during all nuclear testing.[1]

As a comparison, the Oklahoma City bombing, using a truck-based fertilizer bomb, was a mere 0.002 kt. Most artificial non-nuclear explosions are considerably smaller than even what are considered to be very small nuclear weapons.

Incidentally, OKC was not a single truck bomb.

Even I can answer that one. WTC 7 did fall, so this is not claim it is fact. The reason for the collapse is being investigated by the experts employed by NIST.They will then publish a final report all about what they found out.

(This report you will dismiss, without reading)

Sometimes I forget that the woos are so woo-like that they need to be carefully guided, step by step, through the facts and evidence that disprove their woodom, but... come on!

I believe the purpose of the investigation is to determine HOW and WHY it fell, not IF it fell.

Indeed, the entire investigation is initiated on the pretext that WTC7 did indeed fall.
