Question:
how can someone convince me that flying debris caused tower number 7 to explode?
I P clean. U? Say no to cartels!

considering none of the buildings were made of paper . how did flying debris cause this other tower to completely fall to the ground from the foundation up?

Tower 7 was purposely brought down. Audio from that day clearly states that Cuomo and the fire department decided to bring it down. They say it was because the building was so damaged.



But if you watch closely it was a controlled demolition. It takes weeks, or months, to set this up and doing it in the middle of a huge fire and disaster is out of the question.



9/11 was an inside job. The buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition.
Huh?

Tower 7 was damaged by tons of steel and concrete falling from the larger towers. The initial FEMA estimates of damage to #7 underestimated the amount of damage. This is not surprising considering the circumstances, the early assessments from FEMA are always preliminary and are based on very cursory visual inspections.



The damage also started a fire. The fire was fed by a large pressurized fuel line used to run emergency generators. It burned without any attempts to extinguish the fire for 7 hours. Between the initial damage done by the debris and a raging fire that burned out of control for 7 hours, the steal trusses started to fail.



The weight loads started to shift from one support column to the next, as the trusses failed. . This was how the truss system was designed so that a failure in one truss would not cause a problem, but the designers never anticipated the extensive damage caused by such an intense fire combined with the initial damage. One support column had been severely damaged as a result of the initial damage. As multiple trusses failed, the support columns holding the surviving trusses became over loaded. Once the weight exceeded the maximum structural load on the columns the entire column, along with the trusses that it supported came down. This cascaded through out the structural framework on the building causing catastrophic failure. That resulted in the buildings collapse.



With even a small understanding of how a structural truss system works, that each piece depends on the integrity of the next, it is easy to see that major damage can eventually lead to a catastrophic event.



If you think about Occam's razor what do you think is the simpler explanation? A few tons of debris combined with a raging inferno can bring down a building or a massive government conspiracy requiring the complete cooperation of dozens of individuals without a leak resulted in the intentional destruction of the World Trade Center, the death of thousands of people, including the suicidal pilots of the commercial airliner that flew into the buildings.

Bldg 7 was struck with debris showered from one of bulding collapses, which caused extensive damage to that side of the building and also started fires on multiple floors of the building.



See here for pictures and explanation:

Most of the shots of the building are from the side opposite from towers 1&2, so no damage is apparent from that view, except the large amount of smoke from the fires.



Logically, just because you weren't there to see the damage or the fires, that doesn't mean that it was a government conspiracy. That's an illogical conclusion on your part.

>>>

On September 11, 2001, 7 WTC was damaged by debris when the nearby North Tower of the WTC collapsed. The debris also ignited fires, which continued to burn throughout the afternoon on lower floors of the building, with a lack of water to fight the fires. The building collapsed completely at 5:21 p.m.[1], after a critical column on the 13th floor buckled and triggered structural failure throughout.

when the debris hit the tower it caused structural failure on one of the column and the weight pushing down caused the lower floors to give way

7 was blown-up, they even said it before it happened. no steel building has ever fallen down due to fire not before 911 or since. just the facts, believe them or not.

They can not, there are too many unanswered questions, one of which is why was the crime scene sanitized so quickly, and the evidence destroyed so quickly?
