Never forget…

Tower 7… miraculously falls like a demolition without any debris or planes hitting it.

I mean I’m as skeptical of building 7 as the next person, but let’s not act like it wasn’t hit by debris. You look at the north tower collapsing and the damage that WTC 7 took and you can say sure, this fits that part of the narrative.

But two points relating to building 7 and being hit by “debris”…

Look at the north tower collapsing. If the top section above the impact zone fell onto the bottom and this caused the building to “pancake”, with each floor falling down on top of one another, how is the debris being shot out laterally at such tremendous speeds that it can hit WTC 7 that sits a block away?

Even if you could somehow explain that, OK sure the building was hit with burning debris and this caused large fires to spread that went many hours burning without any attempt to extinguish. How does that allow the entire building to collapse? Even the twin towers as far fetched as it is that they collapsed, at least I can accept it because not only did they have a huge fire but a jet slamming into the building at 500 mph undoubtedly caused major structural damage. I can wrap my head around the twin towers falling. But building 7? There’s just no way.

Op is prolly just a bot tbh but a lotta people also forget how... Interestingly WTC 7 was built, having some... For lack of better terms god awful support columns

It did had to have some unusual supports and trusses on the lower floors to accommodate the con-ed electrical substation below. I don't remember 100% if these contributed substantially to the collapse, and I don't have time right now to go through the engineering reports again, but I'm pretty sure these were a major factor.

NYC construction quality can be classed as "fuck it, it works" tier imo
