The commision, NIST & FEMA have not been able to explain WTC 7 falling yet.

Meanwhile, insurance has paid up and the WTC owner apparently made out like a bandit.
Silverstein Properties won $861 million from Industrial Risk Insurers to rebuild on the site of WTC 7. Silverstein Properties' estimated investment in WTC 7 was $386 million. So: This building's collapse resulted in a profit of about $500 million.

Some of the tenants of WTC7:
IRS
CIA
US Secret Service
Departement of Defense
SEC

Conveniently destroyed: thousands of sensitive files relating to some of the biggest financial scams in history - including Enron and WorldCom -- were stored in the offices of some of the building's tenants.
