** Note: I searched Tilted Paranoia and didn't find this specific discussion. **

I've been wanting to start a dialogue about World Trade Center 7 for a while now. I finally got the motivation to start one up here, and I hope it is filled with interesting observations and insight, not name-calling and flame throwing or anything.

So, to start...

World Trade Center 7

[I wanted to start this thread with concise notes and some websites to visit instead of an enormous write-up on what I think. This list is in no meant to be assumed comprehensive or scientifically accurate, just something to start off the thread with.]

I find it to be one of the most curious events of 9/11/01. These are some reasons why...

WTC 7 was never hit by an aircraft, yet still collapsed after burning for only 7 hours.
A few fires in the building were blamed for the collapse, yet fires alone have never destroyed a steel framed building so completely as to collapse it.
Did Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder to the World Trade Center complex, admit that the WTC 7 was demolished deliberately, or "pulled"?

Links/Pictures:

- This is a view of the fires in the building sometime before the collapse.

- One comparison: The 1988 Interstate Bank Building fire that ingulfed many floors and burned more severely than the WTC, but didn't collapse.

Aerial view of the WTC 7 rubble.
- Notice that it is wholly destroyed. The rubble pile was said to be only 2 stories high and turned much to smaller pieces and dust. Could a collapse due to fire turn a building into a nice, neat pile of scrap?

Larry Silverstein's "pull it" comment...
- This has been discussed before on Tilted Paranoia if I remember correctly, but I thought I'd list it here anyway. What the hell is up with this comment?

3 videos of the collapse
- I especially like the last video on the page. Astounding...

www.wtc7.net
- Intersting site, I pulled a lot of material from there.

So, what do you guys all think? I just can't seem to wrap my mind around the official story that fires made this building collapse the way it did. However, I don't pretend to know everything there is to know about this event, so I have a lot of studying and learning to do about this to try to make some more sense out of it. WTC 7 is a huge enigma to me.

Any extra comments, contributions, and insight are all certainly welcome.
