Conspiracy theorists say World Trade Center 7 is the best proof for controlled demolition because it wasn't hit by airliners and only had a few fires. But this is deceptive because while building 7 wasn't hit by an airliner, it was hit by the large perimeter columns of the Tower collapse. It was 400 ft away but the towers were more than 1300 ft tall. As the tower peeled open, it easily tilted over to reach building 7. Below is evidence showing that conspiracy theorists are wrong.
There are so many things wong with this argument. (Yes, I edited parts about pulls. I don't care about the pull claim)
First of all, how is it possible for debris hundreds of feet away to hit WTC 7 in the first place? Gravational collapses do not send debris flying wayward in every direction. The Height of the tower is irrelevant, because the distance between each tower is the same. Now unless steel girders can glide on the wind, I don't see how this is fire is even possible.
As you can see from the graphic below, all the buildings just as far away from both towers as WTC7 were hit. The others were either very short buildings which didn't have to support a massive load above or had no fire. Only Building 7 had unfought fires and the massive load of 40 stories above them.
This goes back to my earlier point about debris being sent flying in the first place. The Bankers Trust building was hit by a 22-ton piece of the outer wall and it was farther from the Twin Towers. Even if fire is the culprit behind that colapse, it does not explain all those wayward ejections of debris.
As you can see, the building never caught fire so it was never in any danger of collapse. It also was constructed differently, with a web column design. The interior columns were not pushed out to the perimeter.
I'm curious as to what refrence one would use for a fire based collapsed of a steel high rise. . .oops, none because fire has never brought a building down. So, how can one say a building is in danger of collapse due to fire alone?
Also, regardless of the design, fires have never compromised the buildings structural intergrity.
