Now that some time has passed. Has anyone ever gotten a good answer to why building #7, collapsed? I haven't.--Not talking about the whole attack, just building #7, which the reports seem to dismiss, like it never happened. I feel it may have been the target, and the other buildings the distraction. But I have no proof of anything. Do you?

^ What would lead you to believe that it was the target, and the others were just a distraction? I've never heard that one before.

Also, I've just never run across any explanation as to why #7 would have been intentionally razed. The official explanation sounds more plausible.

the fact that all the records for the failed finance companies, like Enron were held there. Notice no more prosecutions since then. all their cases were destroyed.

Okay, I hadn't heard that one.

Even so, don't you think it's a bit of a stretch to say that the WTC Towers were felled in order to damage #7 so that it would eventually fall, so that Enron records would be destroyed?

I have researched all I can find, but have come up with no satisfactory answer so far. I feel Building #7 is the key to the whole thing, but it is only my gut reaction. The report just totally dismisses it like it just fell, period. which in it's self seems strange. They don't even attempt an explanation. Most unusual, for an event of such importance.

Well... I ran across the explanation that said the building was damaged by debris first, then there were several fires that started and weren't extinguished because all the water was being used on the Twin Towers. Then a main supporting column collapsed.

It does sound a little incomplete as a reason, but it's more plausible than the conspiracy theories I've read.


Also, don't they have duplicate records of the Enron stuff?

that was the head building for CIA, FBI, and others. where all the investigations were taking place. --I have studied the videos closely. those little fires, did not bring down the building. It was ordered to be "Pulled. The videos clearly show all the firemen, and everybody else moving away prior to it being pulled. The Mayor's Emergency shelter was in Building #7, yet he was running away from it saying it was coming down." ---but regardless, there should be factual information as to why it came down, that will stand close scrutiny. but I have not seen it.

Yeah, but ordering the operation "pulled" is how fireman are ordered out of a building that has become unsafe. If somebody was going to order the building "pulled" or "razed", why wouldn't they have just done that as either of the 2 towers was coming down? With all the smoke, dust and debris, there would never have even been any questions.

I think in hind sight, their timing was off. they probably intended for them to come down together, so as to not be singled out. ---The reason I would like hard facts, is to not have to assume anything, which is all I can do at present.

Morphing conspiracy theory.

Actually, the earliest I heard this one it was because a bunch of stuff related to the Kennedy assassination was there.

Yeah, um...they could send in a couple CIA agents and take everything some Sunday posing as repairmen but instead decided to blow up a chunk of Manhattan.

Enron wasn't a finance company....I'm not sure you've slowed down to even think about the timing here? All the Enron biggies were found guilty.
