The World Trade Center Building 7 Collapse Excuse
Layout Of Former World Trade Center The destruction of the twin towers at the World Trade Center was one of the most heinous acts ever to occur on American soil. We were told that two planes took down these mammoth skyscrapers and indeed we saw two planes crash into them. Unfortunately that was not the end of the occurrence, but only the beginning. Investigation after investigation revealed that the planes impacting into the buildings could not have brought them down. The fires were investigated and many reputable scientists, architects and structural engineers came forward and said that the fires could not have brought them down. There are also stories of people seeing what looked like controlled demolitions going off just as the buildings were coming down. Lastly, the buildings certainly didn't come down in a haphazard manner, they collapsed exactly in the same way as a controlled explosion would've brought them down. We were given a list of names of terrorists that was said to have piloted and been on the planes that struck the World Trade Center. It turned out that several of these people were never on the planes and are alive today working in legitimate jobs such as pilots for foreign airlines, and yet their names remain on the list of those killed in the planes as terrorists. It is in this atmosphere that I would like to talk about what happened to Building Seven at the World Trade Center. World Trade Center Seven was located across the way from all the other World Trade Center buildings. I am referring to the original World Trade Center Seven building not the new one that has taken its place. The building was 47 stories tall. It had an odd shape because it was shaped like a trapezoid.There was an elevated walkway that connected this building to the World Trade Center plaza. I remember being there several times and Seven World Trade Center was sort of out of the way. It is said that when the two towers collapsed this building was hit by debris and fires broke out in the building. The fires burned for longer than anyone thought they would and this was because there was no water pressure for the fire suppression system. The official story is that the fire weakened the building so much, that it collapsed. Supposedly a column on the 13th floor buckled bringing down the entire building. The problem with this story is that the building was what is known as a skyscraper. Many other skyscrapers have caught on fire and some have even been burned so badly that only their skeletons remained, but nobody can remember any of them collapsing. Why did this building collapse? It is interesting to note that there was a Con Edison substation under the building which originally had been reinforced to allow a 25 story building to be built above it, which would have been far smaller than the one that was built. To compensate for this certain girders and trusses were built between the fifth and seventh floor to transfer loads to the foundation.
Original Building 7 World Trade Center Among the building's tenants was the United States Secret Service, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Defense, the New York City office of Emergency Management, and many civilian companies including banks, stockbrokers and various other companies when the building collapsed. Even FEMA admitted that the collapse was not due to impact damage from either of the two towers. They blamed the collapse on the fires. A much older building was next to World Trade Center Seven, it had been built in 1926, and yet that building which sustained much damage never came down and was able to be restored. One of the things that people cannot help but wonder about is the fact that this building contained all sorts of files of pending federal investigations by the SEC, which is the Security and Exchange Commission. It is estimated that at least 4000 of these files were destroyed and many of these were not backed up, which essentially ended the case. It is said that files were there that related to Citigroup and the WorldCom scandal, these were lost. The Secret Service had its largest field office in the building, and lost all sorts of investigative files and apparently it wasn't only files that were stored there, but also evidence. When we talk about a building collapsing from damage, including fire damage, what are the chances that it would come straight down like an elevator? I am not an engineer, but I do know that explosive experts have to work extremely hard to achieve this result. Explosives have to be planted in exact positions to take out supports evenly in such a way that the building will collapse on itself. Knowing this, are we supposed to believe that the buildings in the World Trade Center complex all just happened to come straight down without tilting in any manner? I hate to say this, but it seems to me that somebody, or some group of somebody's, just didn't care about that. Why did they want the buildings to come down and in a straight line in the first place? It certainly does seem that when a building come straight down any evidence on the lower floors of anything, would be completely destroyed from the weight of the building. If a building toppled over, it would be much easier to get into places like the basement where certain things may be stored. Another question is why was the government in such a hurry to cart everything away before it could be examined properly? When a large commercial plane crashes it is usually reassembled in a hangar somewhere so that investigators have a chance to figure out what went wrong. Why weren't the structural parts of this building laid out so that they could be examined to see if they really failed in the manner that was stated?
Diagram Of Collapse There are all sorts of rumors about incredible things that were stored in the World Trade Center buildings. As I stated above many investigations went down the tubes because evidence was supposedly lost, but it was also said that there were vast amounts of gold under some of these buildings in vaults and that after they came down the gold was no longer there. It is also said that vast amounts of gold was stored at Four World Trade Center along with silver bullion. While some say the amount of gold was less than 300 million, others do not believe this. According to some reports it has been estimated that over $1 billion sat in this vault. An article on TimesOnline listed the contents of the vault as follows: Comex metals trading - 3,800 gold bars weighing 12 tonnes and worth more than $100 million Was the attack on the World Trade Center really something other than what we were told? Could it have been a cover-up for the biggest robbery in history, by some very powerful people? Was it an attempt to destroy evidence that might have brought down one or more huge corporations and their officers? It is amazing how this entire subject is no longer in the forefront of the news by now, since this mystery has never been solved. Most news articles seemed to follow the company line. All we can hope is that someday the truth will come out and maybe all those who died will get a little satisfaction from it.
