Well Well Well! Let's see what the sheeple say now.
I have a patient at the VA who was a demolition engineer in WW2. After the war, he entered engineering through the GI bill and made a career of demolitions, specializing in taking down large buildings. I asked him about the whack job contention that the World Trade Center Towers was an "inside job" and a planned demolition. I think he stopped laughing after about five minutes. The guy stopped working just seven years ago, so he is pretty current on the techniques, many of which he developed, to take down large buildings. He said it would take a crew of 200 men at least six months to plan, drill, and plant the charges for the Twin Towers to be demolished. He said that most likely, people working in the Twin Towers probably would have noticed those 200 guys drilling, planting charges and detonators, and generally moving office people around to do their job. I got the visual image and does really make one laugh when you try to picture that process.
World trade 7 had very few fires burning and the OWNER decides to "pull" it the same day?? How can that be accomplished?? It also fell into it's own footprint. How do you explain this?? It's not possible unless you had months to prepare. RP

That building was burning up and heavily damaged. I don't know why you think there were "very few fires burning", but there were several large fires.

Um, DUH? Magic fairies and leprechauns are invisible? DUH? With their little magic jackhammers and invisible bombs made of pure, wild magic, I don't see an issue here. Did your engineer friend ever see a leprechaun or a fairy? No? Then he can't say they aren't REAL or NOT real since he can't prove it, can he?
I'm a leprechaun. I bet you guys didn't know that. You can't have my pot of gold. No. Not yours.
Did you look at the videos? There are very few areas on fire. These few fires would not damage the structural integrity of the building. No other steel building has ever collapsed, even one that burned for 11 days. Dailymotion - Larry_Silverstein_Pull_It_1min - a News & Politics video

I was in NY and watched that building burn then collapse on local news. It was HEAVILY damaged. Besides the fires, it was torn up from gigantic chunks of falling debris from the towers. There was a 10-20 story gigantic gash torn out of one side of the building from debris. There were major fires burning on several floors there - they pulled the NYFD out of there a few hours before it collapsed because the fires were too out of control and unsafe.
Fire collapses buildings everyday. Why do people think a plane had to hit 7 for it to come down?
Really? But what about steel reinforced buildings? The first and only time in history this happened was on 9/11...and to 3 separate buildings no less! I guess Al-CIA-duh was able to temporarily suspend the laws of physics that morning! Damn them!

When steel buildings have gigantic gashes cut into the sides of them from debris, it tends to make them a bit unstable and more susceptible to even more structural weakening due to fire.
Your comparison to other buildings burning yet not collapsing does not hold water. You cannot compare this event to other fires in steel buildings... unless the other steel buildings also had heavy structural damage and fires fueled by jet fuel. This was not an ordinary fire.

Uhhh...so they pulled the building down with ropes and pulleys?
