i explained the only possible solution being a controlled demolition from the start.

i could not explain why the US government would want to do this though.

not saying it couldn't happen, but dont get the motive.
Yes, by all means let's start a thread on this topic, not like it's ever been discussed before.

Thousands and thousands of ongoing SEC investigations into billions of dollars of corruption and malfeasance by Fortune 500 companies were obliterated in only 7 seconds.

There are billions of reasons for this building to come down. As usual, most Americans cannot believe their government capable of such a thing, even though we still have 50K troops in Iraq.

The equivalent of hiding under the bed.

Yeah, none of these famous companies, with thousands of International and national offices, invested in off site backups.

They all kept their papers/files under lock and key in one building. No safe guards in case of fire or power downs/outages or when terrorists decide to ram airplanes into the two tall buildings next to yours.

What are you babbling about? Do you even know what the Securities and Exchange Commission is?

Yes I do. I'm commenting on your comment that "Thousands and thousands of ongoing SEC investigations into billions of dollars of corruption and malfeasance by Fortune 500 companies were obliterated in only 7 seconds."

you're making the assumption that all those "ongoing investigations" paperwork/files were housed in ONE building.

And you think that anyone would be stupid enough to do so?

Care to point out those thousand and thousand of ongoing SEC investigations?


Unless you were alluding to something else, which makes no sense in a thread about WTC 7 and what happened to it.

I'm alluding to confidential investigations, many of which were not backed up.

Google is your friend. Use it, read, and learn.

Yeah, any "investigator" worth his salt, would know to BACK up your findings.

What happens if that investigator died in the middle of the case? What if he/she were promoted? what if she/he moved out of state for a better job? Who is going to pick up where he/she left off?

This is your ignorance on how things are done.

Cool, when I google "odanny is full of it" I'll be taken to all the "investigations" you're speaking about right?

Yet you couldn't provide a link to an article that supports you claims (and no, links to conspiracy websites do not count).

More than likely, but even with video of a team of demolitions experts sneaking out of the building moments before the blast you couldn't convince the sheeple their government would ever take advantage of a horrible tragedy to destroy evidence.

I mean, it's okay to use that tragedy to start a war that kills a million people, but blow up a building?

NEVER!

You're in over your head. Go find your own links, I don't have time for the hopeless.
