Building 7 — The Building That Wasn't Hit

WTC 7 was a 47-story steel-frame building. It was not hit by an aircraft. Per the official report, fires from falling debris caused "global thermal expansion" leading to "progressive collapse." The official report concedes that the building entered approximately 2.25 seconds of free-fall during its descent. \n\nFree-fall is impossible during a progressive collapse. Free-fall requires zero structural resistance below. The lower 8 stories must have offered NO resistance whatsoever for 2.25 seconds. In a 47-story building, this is not "thermal expansion." This is the simultaneous removal of all 24 supporting columns at the lowest floors. The only known method that produces this result: controlled demolition.\n\nThe BBC announced the collapse of WTC 7 at 16:57 EST. WTC 7 collapsed at 17:20 EST. The BBC announced its collapse 23 minutes BEFORE it happened. The BBC anchor stood in front of a live shot of WTC 7 — still standing, visible behind her — while reading the news of its collapse. The footage exists. The footage has been admitted as genuine by the BBC. The BBC's explanation: "we lost our notes." For 23 minutes of pre-announcement. Of a building's collapse. That had no precedent.\n\nLarry Silverstein, leaseholder of the WTC complex (lease signed July 2001, 7 weeks before 9/11), said on PBS in 2002: "I said, you know, we've had such terrible loss of life. Maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it. And they made that decision to pull, and then we watched the building collapse." "Pull it" is industry term for controlled demolition. The interview is public. The interview has been "explained" 14 different ways. None of the explanations addresses what "pull" means in the demolition industry.
