You said exactlyi "9/11 proved three times that all it takes is a fire...". Your saying that fire took down these buildings yet seem to recall something about airplanes....

There's no evidence of WTC7 being "removed off of it's foundation" that I've seen.

Other, closer buildings were severely and more seriously damaged, and on fire, and didn't collapse, either perfectly vertically or asymetrically, which is more probable with the sort of scenario you suggest.
Well if you haven't read heard or seen that a quarter of WTC7 was torn out by debris, you didn't look. At all. All you've read is your side saying "Nothing happen to WTC7 other than a fire" and your ignoring the rest.

Start with wikipedia:



The brown area is the section that was hit by "debris". Again, debris is a bad term to use here because we are talking in terms of tons of steel and concrete and what not.

As for the other buildings, well, three out of ten buildings fell. Some buildings fell, some didn't. Why is it that in 1989 during the big San Fran earthquake the Bay Bridge fell, but the Golden Gate bridge didn't? They were buildings, and built differently. Some of the fell, some of didn't.
