And the explosives were somehow not triggered when the fires broke out?
How long can explosives be safely placed and remain dormant in a working office building?
Add "Fireproof explosive encasements" to list of supplies needed by the perps.

Why I disagree with the NIST explanation -- During freefall, there must be simply a conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy. There can’t be any energy going elsewhere, such as doing work by bending metal in the structure below. That means, the structure below must get out of the way abruptly. Explosives are the only way to do this in a steel-framed high rise.
TAM said:"As I asked, I'll ask again, WHERE DID THEY SAY, that the entire building was coming down AT 2.25 SECONDS OF FREE FALL?
I believe, what came from their report, was that the NORTH FACE of the building, not the entire building, had a moment of 2.25 seconds of free fall during the collapse."
And where do you see another part of WTC7 lingering behind?

MM is there a reason that you persist in posting pictures that do not show the Penthouse collapse even after it has been explained to you dozens of time that they are misleading?
You are a charlatan.
Here is a video of the entire collapse that MM would prefer that you not see:

One must assume the building wasn't on fire at the time the explosives were placed. Had to have been the weeks and months before.

What part of global collapse do you fail to understand?Amazing, in those pictures, we also don't see the penthouse either. Does it mean it wasn't there? OH ****!!! Someone faked a penthouse!! INSIDE JOBITY JOB!!!!!11!!

dadeets said:"NIST crafted their explanation at a time when they maintained the building came down 40% slower than freefall. I won’t go into the explanation other to say it was a natural progression following what they called thermal expansion of a long girder, due to out of control office fires.
NIST changed their position on freefall just before issuing their final report. The final report said the building collapse included a stage having a 2.25 sec. free-fall drop extending 8 stories. However, they didn’t change their explanation to go with this new position on freefall."
bolding is mineR.Mackey said:"The buckling required for this "freefall" portion, which only affects some of the perimeter, takes place in the seconds before the "freefall." As NIST explains in thorough detail, an eight-story section of the lower perimeter, now unbraced and heavily loaded, buckles. This absorbs energy but leads to little vertical displacement. However, once buckled, those columns have almost no remaining strength, so the next phase is the "free fall."
That "free fall" by the way is approximate. Also it was only measured on one face, and rotation can artificially inflate the apparent downward velocity. You cannot say there was no energy dissipation during this period, only that it was relatively little. But that's what we already expected."

So much for the NIST's explanation in thorough detail.
Your depiction of what the NIST supposedly reported about free fall is fanciful ad-lib.

What report?
There are many.

From NIST NCSTAR 1-9, WTC 7 Global Collapse Analysis
"In Stage 2, the north face descended at gravitational acceleration, as exterior column buckling progressed and the columns provided negligible support to the upper portion of the north face. This free fall drop continued for approximately 8 stories (105 ft), the distance traveled between times t = 1.75 s and t = 4.0 s.
...a freefall descent over approximately eight stories at gravitational acceleration for approximately 2.25 s, and a decreasing acceleration as the north face encountered resistance from the structure below."
So much for the NIST's explanation in thorough detail.

From NIST NCSTAR 1A
"a freefall descent over approximately eight stories at gravitational acceleration for approximately 2.25 s, and a decreasing acceleration as the north face encountered resistance from the structure below...The three stages of collapse progression described above are consistent with the results of the global collapse analyses discussed in Chapter 12 of NIST NCSTAR 1-9."
