I suspect the party that posted this topic confuses news helicopters for black helicopters all the time.

Why did WTC 7 collapse?

Funny how these folks in the peanut gallery seem to forget who WTC 7 had as tenants at the time.

Salomon Smith Barney
1,202,900 Square Feet.
Floors 1-6,13,18-46

ITT Hartford Insurance Group
122,590 Square Feet
Floors 19-21

American Express Bank International
106,117 Square Feet
Floors 7,8,13

Securities & Exchange Commission
106,117 Square Feet
Floors 11,12,13

Standard Chartered Bank
111,398 Square Feet
Floors 10,13,26,27

Mayor's Office of Emergency Mgmt
45,815 Square Feet
Floors 23

Many of these are very large financial institutions, and many of them had their main corporate datacenters located in WTC 7. I would hope most of you on this board have toured a modern day datacenter, for you would know that if the power went out, very large diesel generators would kick in within milliseconds of the main electrical grid going offline, providing power for those servers.

WTC 7 had several diesel tanks to power the generators, over 40,000 gallons of diesel fuel throughout the building, 6,000 gallons for the NYC Office of Emergency Management on the 23rd floor, and another 36,000 throughout the building.

Now a Boeing 767 can carry over 23,500 gallons of jet fuel and its anyones guess how much was burned off between take-off and when it crashed into each of the two WTC's but it was the combination of the burning fuel and the combustable materials inside that led to the collaspe of the WTC #1 and #2, both 100+ stories tall.

Why is it unlikely that with all the explosions, collaspes, burning jet pieces into surrounding buildings can make you belive that WTC 7 was felled only by plastic explosives? and not by a raging diesel fuel fire burning out of control with all the papers, and other combustable materials inside of WTC 7.

Before you jump into another thread that its a fact that no building in the past has ever collasped from fire, those buildings had firefighters actively trying to put out those fires.

Maybe you were living in a cave with UBL on 9-11-01, but that whole WTC area was a complete disaster area, FDNY was more concerned with rescuing people and 343 fellow fire fighters then trying to put out fully enveloped 47 floor office building fire.

Next thing you're going to spew is that it wasn't a Boeing 757 that crashed into the Pentagon, but a cruise missle fired from a U.S. Navy destroyer off the coast of New Jersey.
