For years truthers claimed that the towers collapsed at free-fall speed into their own footprints. The great internet scientists took the word of some con-artists and never bothered to time the collapses or note the obvious fact that the towers collapsed over a wide area and significantly slower than free-fall speed.
Like manna from heaven, truthers discovered WTC7 which looked more like a controlled demolition than the towers. The chaotic mess of WTC7's collapse was contained inside its outer shell. It is very strange watching it gracefully fall in silence. That is something we're not used to observing, including in controlled demolitions.
You should notice that whenever truthers run comparisons of WTC7 and controlled demolitions they always turn the sound off. They sound nothing alike. Controlled demolitions are deafeningly loud.
It's obvious what took WTC7 down. Actual scientists have studied the collapse in detail, and they use this important information for future design of tall buildings: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1135337#post33
