*sighs* Ok... please... for the love of your respective god... please READ... I accept, and I will give that the WTC succumbed to intense fire from jet fuel + structural damage. Ok, you got that, good, great, eat a cookie, masturbate, whatever. Building #7 however did NOT get hit by a jet, and did NOT suffer intense fires caused directly from jet fuel. There have been MODERN SKYSCRAPERS that have burned intensely for more than twenty four hours, huge skyscrapers bigger than Building #7. Guess how many of those fell buddy? Zero. What's that number again, didn't quite catch it. Oh yeah, ZERO. Considering #7 did not get struck by a jet, and that buildings closer to the WTC did NOT fall from the 'intense fires', we have a little problem with that statement.
