    It was on fire for a few hours, stuff fell on it from the other towers and it had a weird truss that put extra stress on the building.

      But why is that empirically the only time that's ever happened? Even NIST admitted that it was a "new type" of collapse. That's not the first time a building's been on fire for a long time

      It's also really weird that Larry Silverstein is on video saying they "made a decision to pull the building". "Pull" is demolitions slang to initiate a demolition.

          Okay, but why is he on tape saying to "pull the building"

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p34XrI2Fm6I

          At the very best, WTC7 fell due to fires and the owner of WTC7 decided to troll the world by pretending it was demolished.

          At worst, it was actually demolished

          edit: could I get a real answer other than a downvote? This is the owner of the building on video saying that they "made the decision to pull the building". I guess we're stanning the Bush admin now
