New BBC article:

"Q and A: What Really Happened?"
the explanation for WTC7 would be funny if it wasn't so sad:
Was WTC7 deliberately demolished by explosives?
In the afternoon of 11 September 2001, World Trade Centre Building 7, a 47 storey office block close by the Twin Towers collapsed without even being hit by the planes.
The building had been evacuated and there were no casualties and with so much else happening that day, its collapse was barely reported.
WTC 7 was home to local offices of the CIA, Department of Defense, the United States Secret Service and the city's Office of Emergency Management, among others.
Sceptics of the official account, including those at Scholars for 9/11 Truth argue that the building was deliberately destroyed in a controlled demolition, perhaps in order to conceal important information about a pre-9/11 plot by the authorities.
The collapse of WTC has been investigated by FEMA. Their interim report found that when the North Tower collapsed, debris crashed into Building 7.
This was the likely cause of fires which quickly took hold. The sprinkler system did not work effectively because the water main in Vesey Street had been knocked out when the Twin Towers came down.
With the intense fires burning unabated, the steel structure supporting the building was fatally weakened. But the FEMA investigators conceded that this hypothesis had a low probability of occurring.
In their final report, due to be published later in 2007, FEMA is expected to back its original hypothesis substantially - the collapse of WTC7 was accidental, not deliberate. |

Where did they get that from? FEMA aren’t even doing the investigation, it’s NIST:
Quote: | 14. Why is the NIST investigation of the collapse of WTC 7 (the 47-story office building that collapsed on Sept. 11, 2001, hours after the towers) taking so long to complete? Is a controlled demolition hypothesis being considered to explain the collapse?
It is anticipated that a draft report will be released by early 2007.
The current NIST working collapse hypothesis for WTC 7 is described in the June 2004 Progress Report on the Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster (Volume 1, page 17, as well as Appendix L).
This hypothesis may be supported or modified, or new hypotheses may be developed, through the course of the continuing investigation. NIST also is considering whether hypothetical blast events could have played a role in initiating the collapse. While NIST has found no evidence of a blast or controlled demolition event, NIST would like to determine the magnitude of hypothetical blast scenarios that could have led to the structural failure of one or more critical elements. |

I like how the BBC print one sentence, barely explaining the question on the collapse of WTC7... Quote: | Sceptics of the official account, including those at Scholars for 9/11 Truth argue that the building was deliberately destroyed in a controlled demolition, perhaps in order to conceal important information about a pre-9/11 plot by the authorities. |
...Then 4 paragraphs on how this can not be the case...

...No rebuttal with respect that the fires were absolutely minimal... Oh! and of course, any mention of the fact that Silverstein said it was pulled! |

Or that the filmed "collapse" of the 47 storey WTC7 skyscraper building was the world's first steel framed building to collapse from fire alone in the history of mankind.
Or the fact that the videos clearly show demolition squibs going off and the buidlings symmetrical collapse - both characteristics of a controlled demolition.
Or that WTC7 fell to the ground in around 7 seconds.
Or the fact that 5 years and 5 months later the world still awaits an official, defintive account of how WTC7 was reduced to a pile of rubble.
Or why is it taking the oft quoted "thousands" of "expert scientists" and "expert structural engineers" "around the world" so long to explain the collapse of WTC7 ? _________________ The Medium is the Massage - Marshall McLuhan. |
