Sorry, uke, the explanation for WTC7 has already been laid out extensively and numerous times, by qualified people. T.A.M. rejects it because his guvmint doesn't endorse it.
Side of Sanity and Reason:
------------------------------
ASCE, NIST, CTBUH, and other associations/groups agree with the official explanation for building 7, that it was brought down by untreated prolonged multifloored fires.
The photographic and video evidence supports this position, as does the modeling that NIST used in their investigation.
Witness saw the building leaning and with a bulge in its side, prior to collapse.
There was no series of visible flashes, or a timed series of audible explosions in the moments prior to the collapse (as seen in all traditional tall building controlled demolitions).
There was no evidence of det cord, or explosive residue found.
NISt conducted modeling using independent software that determined that the window breakage pattern did not match what would be seen with explosive detonation significant enough to weaken the columns significantly enough for collapse. The absence of the subsequent noise of such a blast in the witness testimony aids in confirming such.
On the side of "the truth"
------------------------------
A crowd of architects and engineers who have provided NO EVIDENCE, THEORY, or SCIENCE OF THEIR OWN, don't agree with the NIST conclusions. They have stated that the 2.25 seconds of free fall, in the middle of the collapse, of the North Face of the building is proof of a controlled demolition. They provide no calculations, science, or proof of any kind, to back it up.
The truth movement claims that because WTC looked like a CD to the untrained eye, and no other skyscraper had ever collapsed due to fire alone, that it must have been a CD that brought down WTC7.
That about sums it up...let the reader decide.
