World Trade Center 7 (pt 2)

Okay, the following is what I'd like to think of as a conclusion of the collapse of WTC 7, in the shortest sense of the word. My conclusion will solely be made using universally accessible materials from the web, much from Wikipedia and Youtube. However, I hope you will find it somewhat reasonable.

In the early stages of the fire in WTC 7, marshalls concluded that there were only minor fires. However, the fires spread rapidly, making most parts of the building virtually inaccessible. Nevertheless, hours before the collapse, one fire marshall had enough insight to make the conclusion that the building was going to collapse. How could he possibly know that? A fire had, as mentioned in previous post, never made a high-rise building collapse ever before. So why would it be the case this time?

Also, that the collapse of building seven is left completely unmentioned in the official report on the attacks by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (which, by the way, is a very long name with a total of 55 letters). Now why is that? We all know that buildning came down, we just don't know how. And they won't even explain this to us? Hmm, is that suspicious or was it merely an honest mistake? I don't know, but I hear the way it sounds.

And how is it possible that two different news agencies report that WTC 7 has collapsed several minutes before it actually does so? I mean what are the odds? Once again, it does sound indeniably unlikely.

So what does all this mean? That there were explosives planted in the building? Maybe. The way it collapsed sure enough did not look as if caused solely by fire, but rather by explosives, and the premature media reports on the collapse may be interpreted as sign of governmental involvement.

So let's continue on the explosives theory, just for the cause. How could such a large amount of explosives be smuggled into a building, which's tenants were mostly made up from governmental agencies (e.g. CIA)? Well, some sources claim that there were several floors without tenants, leaving them completely empty. Doesn't sound too impossible to disguise a couple of bombs into delivery boxes (as security levels at the time were very low) and then place them in the empty areas, without anyone noticing.

So, only judging from what I've learned so far, and still avoiding too many personal reflections, my conclusion is that the World Trade Center 7 building was most likely brought down by planted explosives, and not by fire.

World Trade Center 7

It's this one thing I just can't get out of my system. WTC 7 aka Salomon Bros. Building. Why did it collapse? It was not hit by a plane, nor by enough debris to make it come down. There was without doubt a fire raging inside the building at the time of the collapse, but a 47-story building shouldn't collapse solely due to a fire, should it?

But let's not get ahead of things. Let's start right after the Twin Towers collapse. Falling debris from the towers hit the facade of the WTC7, causing minor damage and setting off fires inside the building, which by now is evacuated. Fire fighters later enter the building to put out the fires, but are withdrawn due to "concerns for the safety of personnel". At 5:20 PM, WTC7 collapses, without any evident reason.

Now, what confuses me about this whole deal is why it came down. A fire has never before made a 47-story building come down like that. Ever. And the way it collapses looks suspiciously like a controlled demolition. Wikipedia writes: "The collapse of 7 World Trade Center is remarkable because it was the first known instance of a tall building collapsing primarily as a result of uncontrolled fires." It has never occurred before. Nor afterwards.

But it may just as well be that it was the raging fires that made the building come down. The falling debris from the Twin Towers tore a 12-story gap in the facade of WTC7, and setting off fires at multiple stories may have weakened the core of the building, causing it to collapse. However, judging from the way it fell, this is not likely the case. If this were the case, the building would have collapsed gradually, not free-fall and perfectly vertically as was the case.

Also, in a live report by BBC that aired around 5:00 PM, i.e. some 20 minutes prior to the collapse of WTC7, reporter Jane Stanley, who is actually on-site, says that WTC7 has collapsed due to raging fires. Yet, the building is clearly visible in the background...

Part 2 of this post is coming shortly...

Introduction

Hello everyone. Since this is the first post, I thought it'd be pertinent to present the background to this blog. Beyond the obvious, I'm hoping to give a wider perspective on the entire time line: What led up to the attacks, who conducted the operation, what actually happened, how the buildings came down, what happened to WTC7, how the world changed, about the "New World Order", and more.

I also want to take this opportunity to say that I am absolutely impartial and have no intention of spreading any kind of propaganda, neither for nor against either side. In other words, I do not support the many existing conspiracy theories, nor do I oppose them. I merely want to create an accurate image, for myself and others, of what happened on September 11th, and who is ultimately responsible.

I'm hopefully going to update this blog a couple of times a week, given the opportunity. There will be links to media and other stuff that may help strenghten my arguments, and finally, I hope you will enjoy reading this blog as much as I will enjoy writing it.
