New WTC Complex Photos Highlight Bizarre Building 7 Collapse
Buildings 5 and 6, closer to towers burned throughout but did not collapse

Previously unseen photos provided to us by an annonymous rescue worker who was at ground zero on 9/11 highlight the implausible implosion of WTC Building 7 in comparison with buildings closer to the towers that sustained significantly more fire and debris damage yet did not collapse.



Above is a map showing the relative position of the buildings in the WTC complex. Though Building 7 was hit by flying aircraft parts, it was not significantly effected by the collapse of the towers due to it being shielded by buildings 5 and 6 - which despite being closer to the towers and suffering far more extreme fires - did not collapse.



Building 7 to the right of the picture as Building 5 burns in the left background. From this image, which building seems the more likely to collapse? The 47 story behemoth with limited fire in a few floors - or a nine story shell completely engulfed by fire and flames from top to bottom? Yet it was Building 7 and not 5 that collapsed on the afternoon of September 11.



The burned out husk of Building 5 two days after 9/11. Building 5 sustained massive damage from flaming aircraft parts which ignited fires that burned for hours. In addition, the collapse of the north tower scraped down the side of 5 but its modest nine floors did not structurally collapse.



Here is a separate image revealing the extent of the fires in WTC 5. Despite raging infernos and debris gouging huge holes in the building, and in comparative size significantly more severe fires than the twin towers or Building 7 - the building stood while the other three all collapsed.



In addition, Building 6, which was even closer to the north tower (seen here moments before its subsequent planned demolition months later), suffered even more extreme fire and debris damage, but the building did not fall down implosion style like the towers and Building 7.



A wider perspective shot of the rubble of Building 7. The Fiterman Hall
building and the U.S. Post Office building across the street show little damage. Building 5 in the background is completely charred but still stands.



The rubble of WTC Building 7 lies in front of the Fiterman Hall building. The building has fallen in its own footprint - another sign of controlled demolition.



Here are a couple of shots for the no planers and 'blue screen' advocates - aircraft engine parts and a truck designated to store them. Claiming that no planes hit the WTC towers is damaging to the movement's credibility and it is one of the first things that debunkers like Popular Mechanics seize upon when building straw man hit pieces.

Smokeman- what are you smokin?

Maybe building 7 collapsed and 5 didn't because the engineering was better. Could it just not be possible that some buildings collapse when on fire, and some don't. But that doesn't fit into a conspiracy theory does it?

Explain this to me conspiracy theorists:

If a fire causes all buildings to collapse, why are some still standing when the fire is put out?


It takes alittle common senseto figure this stuff out people!

What a load of crap.

camerons right, theres always a difference in structural integrety when you have different architects,engineers,contractors, and even the material strength varies widely from company to company.Thats why in earthquakes some buildings that look like they should be condemned substain little damage and the brand new one next to thems destroyed.Its why fire does worse damage to some buildings then others when the fires are very similiar.The interior design, where the inside walls are located also play a role in how much damage a building can substain without coming down.Move a load bearing wall a foot one way or the other and the results are dramatically different.theres about a million ways that could cause one building to fall and a closer one to stay standing.

Another sign that the design worked like it was planned to is more like it.Skyscrapers are designed to come down on top of themselves, otherwise in an event like a plane striking them, or other natural disasters there would be much furtherwidespread damage to surrounding buildings then there is.

Think of it like a box, you kick all 4 corners out from under it at the same time does it tip over or come straight down?It comes straight downThats what happens floor by floor when these buildings go.The exceptions would be when its the very bottom floors that substain the most stuctural damage, then it becomes top heavy and tips over.This conrolled demolition crap is a very weak argument at best considering where the majority of the damage occured on all these buildings.

Good post Petasux.


I just thought of something else. If the government planned all this and there were really no planes, why would there be a truck that says "Aircraft Parts"?

What I find amazing is that from all of the fires of steel constructed buildings in history,these are the only 3 to collapse completelly to the ground in their own footsteps on the same day within a few ours of being on fire...Is this not amazing???Can anyone show me any other steel constructed buidings in history that has ever done this??? just one to collapse to the ground from a 3 hour fire or any time limit....

[petasux]

How many have had 2 fully fueled jets of that size hit that close together and the had to withstand that impact of the much concrete and steel coming down in that small of area within a cuple hours of each other?If you want to make comparisons make fair comparisons that take everything into account.

I did not know there were morons out there who will attempt to attribute the 9/11 attacks to anything other than Arab/Muslim terror. I sat on the pier at Exchange Place in Jersey City and WATCHED the planes hit the towers over a roll and morning coffee.

I guess there's nothing that can be documented and filmed enough to keep idiots from spoutin' stupidity... Seems this type of person is also part of the problem we have in this country !

[Canuck_Buck]

buildings with concrete piers and columns will not collapse like steel structure will...

[Tazman]

Take a look at the 7th pic from the top, if the collapse was due to a controled demolition as some conspiracy nuts claim why did it partially fall into the street?

Why didn't they demolish all of them?

Your right, Smokeman. It was George Bush. The Republicans have been planning this for decades. He used monkeys secretly trained by Ronald Reagan during the filming of Bedtime for Bonzo to stealthily scale the buildings and carefully place multiple charges of M-80 firecrackers and cherry bombs where they'd do the most damage and cause an implosion, all so that Halliburton could make a few extra bucks in Iraq thereby enabling them to line the pockets of Dick Cheney with humungous wads of $100bills, so that Cheney could afford to bring lawyerson hunting trips so that he could shoot them. And, bingo, there you have it. Tort Reform! What strategery!!!
