Reply #87: Unless I missed it, a couple of things are missing from this thread.

[RC]

The first being reportedly that 8000 gallons or pounds of burning jet fuel ran down the elevator shafts to the 7th sub basement and burned so hot that it melted the supporting columns, causing the collapse. The recent 60 Minutes on 9/11 even mentioned it as fact.
That is patently ridicules. Elevator doors are fire doors, which means they are close fitting. There are not enough space for much of anything to go down. It doesn't much matter whether the door are open or closed. Open the car would seal the shaft. Large amounts of burning anything flowing down the shafts ain't a gonna happen. To say nothing of the fact at that level, most if not all the elevators did not even go to the ground floor.
Enough burning jet fuel flowing down 80 some stories and burning so hot at the bottom of the elevator shafts to bring down a steel frame building? And this supposedly happened to two buildings?

The other thing, WTC7. The only way it could look as a controlled demolition, was because it was.
On the out side it looked like any other steel frame brick building. On the inside, it wasn't. Half the building was built over a large sub-station. The sub-station fed the whole area, including WTC 1&2. The two halves of the building were built very differently from the ground up to the very top. There was no jet fuel involved here. Now, how could a fire collapse this steel frame building uniformly, as to simulate a demolition, especially if the two halves were built differently? One of only three steel frame buildings in the world to ever collapse from fire. Collapses that all happened in the same area, on the same day, from the same event.

Edited to add: The second plane to hit, hit on a corner and most of the fuel load burned outside the building in a big fire ball. That building collapses first.
