Look at the tenants note the yellow ones


World Trade Center Seven collapsed on September 11, 2001, at 5:20 p.m. There were no known casualties due to this collapse. The performance of WTC 7 is of significant interest because it appears the collapse was due primarily to fire, rather than any impact damage from the collapsing towers. On the contrary, it appears the collapse was due primarily due to a controlled demolition. Prior to September 11, 2001, there was little, if any, record of fire-induced collapse of large fire-protected steel buildings. Before September 11, no steel framed skyscraper had ever collapsed due to fire.

On September 11, WTC 7 collapsed totally. It is suggested below that this collapse was exclusively due to fire. No significant evidence is offered to back up this suggestion (after all it is only a suggestion). It should be emphasized that WTC 7 was neither hit by an aircraft nor by significant quantities of debris from the collapse of the twin towers. It is also widely claimed that WTC 1 and WTC 2 collapsed mainly due to fire. I emphasize, that before September 11, no steel framed skyscraper had ever collapsed due to fire. However, on September 11, it is claimed that three steel framed skyscrapers collapsed mainly, or totally, due to fire.
1) It is not suggested that WTC7 fell solely due to fire, nor WTC1 or 2 - all three buildings suffered massive physical damage and subsequent fires.

2) listing tenants of a building is evidence of nothing. Also, Do you know what was in those offices? Large organizations have offices in 10s maybe hundreds of office towers. None of the tenants highlighted in yellow would consider those offices as large and/or particularly important. Of the highlighted tenants, the most floors occupied by any one tenant is two floors. In downtown toronto, the bank of montreal occupies almost the full 80 floors of the BMO bank towers. I can assure that an office that occupies 1 or 2 floors of an office tower is highly insignificant. Also, it would not be prudent to store sensitive documents (the kind that an organization would want destroyed..) in such an unsecure location - like the 10th floor of WTC7. So your highlighted tenants lack any real incentive to level their building.

I expect you will post something about insurance / larry Silverstein / "pull it" next? Go ahead, im ready.
