All the time Gravy.
Neither of us knows exactly what was necessary to bring WTC 7 straight down into a pile of rubble.
Well this thread was started because you stated that you believe that it was brought down by demolitions yet for the most part you still refuse to tell us what about the collapse causes you to believe that. For the most part all you have done is say what there is that is not known.
Known:
- mechanical damage to the structure by WTC 1 debris, in some places this is major damage that is quite well known to have occurred and in others it can be inferred to be major due to glimpses through the smoke in photographs and by the eyewitness reports of FF's there at the time.
- Fires that started relatively small but due to their not being suppressed grew until the entire building was filled with smoke due to the fires on many floors.
- the building housed several diesel fuel tanks
-the collapse originated in the column structure below the east penthouse which fell into the center of the building first.
- the collapse progressed west from the origin along the center of the building.
- the building 'kinked' along a vertical plane that runs through the position of the column structure that failed first.
Now Chris, what in the above causes you to believe that the collapse was caused by explosives that were placed in order to bring the building down,
and/or
what additional evidence do you
have that enables you to believe as you say you do?
