Most news items on building demolition highlight when there was a failure: when a planned demolition resulted in peripheral damage, because the charges weren't properly coordinated.

When building demolitions go as planned, it's little news, of some local interest.

On video, the fall of WTC-7 appears to present the pattern of a perfectly coordinated demolition.

I am not an expert about this, but I believe it takes weeks if not months to prepare a building for a controlled demolition, including exposing and strategically placing charges on load bearing members by clearing out floors, rugs, walls, etc.

I don't see how this could be done without closing the building.

I’ll admit that over the past few years I’ve revisited my earlier skepticism of 9/11 being an inside job.

Didn’t Fiterman Hall across the street get damaged? That’s not perfect.

All I can say is the people in CIA and FBI who tried to frame Trump for colluding with Russia. Look at Ray Epps and how they framed Patriots. Out government is filled with bad bad people.

re: “it takes weeks if not months to prepare a building for a controlled demolition”

After all the blather, with the 911 conspiratorialists bearing the burden of proof, still, it’s good to do the heavy lifting, one’s self, of thinking in the first person.

Here’s Dr. Alan Sabrosky, former Director of Studies at the US Army War College:

What is not open to debate … is that WTC-7 — the third tower to collapse that day, and the only one not hit by a plane — absolutely was brought down by a controlled demolition, as anyone not trying to shield the attackers knows from a real-time video of its collapse. That is, WTC-7 went straight down into its own footprint in seconds without any visible catastrophic external trauma, which means only some catastrophic internal trauma could have brought it down. And if it had been wired for a controlled demolition, then so were the other towers (WTC-1 and WTC-2) that collapsed. That gives the plane impacts a gruesome cosmetic role, designed explicitly to conceal the true cause of the collapse of the buildings, while shocking the public into something akin to numbness.

https://youtu.be/oMdLVw3AsV4?feature=shared

Second only to the actual controlled demolition of WTC-7, and supplementing the thesis that with or without impacting aircraft the buildings were brought down by other means, is extensive audio-visual evidence on 9/11 while the Twin Towers were still standing from what became “Ground Zero.” This evidence includes real-time clips of secondary explosions at ground level in both WTC-1 and WTC-2 (you can hear the detonations and see smoke and debris billowing out), reports on many networks of those explosions and of strange vans inside and around those buildings prior to the secondary explosions, reports from EMTs (Emergency Medical Technicians) of the same thing and of people inside and around the lobbies of those buildings who were not emergency personal and were not fleeing the disaster – all of this on 9/11 and widely reported as it happened that same day.

Secondary explosions at ground level where there should be no secondary explosions. The catastrophic collapse of the 47-story WTC-7 into its own footprint in seconds, without any significant external trauma, where by rights there should have been no collapse. Vans with targeting maps, explosives or traces thereof, cameras pre-positioned to film the World Trade Center, and especially Israelis with those vans where there should have been no Israelis present with any of those things in those places at that time.

Generally speaking, there are three requirements for evaluating the origin and prospects for success of all covert intelligence operations: (a) motivation, (b) expertise, and (c) local support for access to the target and post-attack evasion and escape.

Let us look first at motivation. It is a bitter commentary on how far the US has gone from its strategic requirements and its own principles that so many movements and governments around the world not only dislike and distrust the US, but hate it with a passion and with better cause than I care to think about. I recently came across a remark by a Jesuit priest to the effect that “Every time I hear that Israel is America’s only friend in the Middle East, I remember that before Israel, America had no enemies in the Middle East” – a point well worth remembering.

But the interesting thing about the assorted movements and governments that might have an actual or perceived reason to do harm to the US, is that all but one has had a negative incentive to do that: to punish the US for some actual or assumed failings or misdeeds. The one exception is Israel. It has no negative incentives at all (I exclude some real fringe fanatics), simply because without US aid and diplomatic support, it would find itself in even worse straits than did apartheid-era South Africa, and with better cause. But it is the one state with a positive incentive, if it believed it could get away with it, which is to enrage the American public against Muslims generally and Arabs in particular, and to make the US an active belligerent in the region – spending American lives and treasure in the service of Israel’s interests.

Expertise is different and more diffuse. There are many intelligence and special operations forces in the world with the expertise to wire large urban structures for a controlled demolition. There are many combat engineer units in many countries that could do the same thing. And there are many private firms that specialize in them as well. Yet neither Al-Qaeda as an organization, nor any of its known affiliates – much less the 19 named Arabs supposedly on those four planes – possessed that expertise, or anything even remotely close to it; had they done so, the Green Zone in Baghdad would have been a pile of rubble.

But it is local support that is the crucial determinant. All well-crafted covert operations require some measure of local support, official or unofficial, unless the target area is so irredeemably hostile that none is available. Any domestic or foreign intelligence agency targeting the WTC would absolutely have required it, and Mossad would be better placed than any other to access such support for entry, access, execution and escape.

This is especially true, given the security company overseeing the WTC. CIA and/or Defense Department personnel (which is not the same as the CIA or the Defense Department as organizations) could have had access, but only if that had Israeli endorsement – one does not casually cut open walls, implant explosives, run cables and wire everything together in buildings with state-of-the-art electronic surveillance and 24/7 on-site security. Mossad would have no such need for those niceties, given the ownership of the WTC and the management of the company overseeing its security. Remember that we are not talking about large numbers of people in any case: given time to prepare the three buildings and protection from detection, as few as a dozen could have sufficed, a number small enough to be effectively unnoticed in a large organization.

It was Elvis and JFK that set the charges that brought down the towers.

Nonsense, they were framed by the real culprits: Big Foot and the Loch Ness monster.

You are right to be sceptical. Every year the govt hoaxes us all over again with these tearful memorials. I stopped watching it 10 years ago.

There is a very interesting book out titled “Where did the Towers go” by Judy Wood B.S.,M.S.,Ph.D., as she questioned the same thing along with many unexplainable and peculiar things happen along with the collapse of the towers. This book is very well illustrated showing some of the objects near these towers apparently badly damaged by heat but were nowhere close to any fire, which is something to contemplate. This book in hardcover is very detailed, heavily illustrated and with many charts. It was quite pricey but for anyone wondering what really happened worth the money, as it appeared that there was more to it than what met the eye. I was glad I got it.

My former company owned the twenty something story hotel that also was destroyed by falling debris that caught their building on fire.

I find that this conspiracy theory about controlled demolition seems to be promoted by people with little or no knowledge of structural engineering.

The main reason why these structures collapsed was the engineers never foresaw that there would be multiple structural fires all at the same time. There was not enough water in the main lines to provide for fire suppression in two 100 story buildings. Then a third, fourth, fifth and sixth building all caught on fire. There just was not enough water available to put out all the fires.

I’ve heard Bernard Kerik talk about this on a couple of podcasts I’ve listened to.

The NYPD emergency operations center was located in WTC 7, in the basement, they had a number of generators and diesel fuel stored there in case power to Manhattan ever went out, he’s indicated as the towers collapsed and debris flew into WTC 7, that caused fires which ignited the diesel in basement, that explosion came up thru the elevator shafts causing severe damage to the buildings structure, which ultimately led to the building collapsing.

I knew a man who was a building engineer on the WTC, now dead. The word from his daughter was they had put controlled demo charges in during construction so that in case they came down it would be controlled. Which, to my understanding, it was

What the conspiracy theory about that.

Who initiated the bombing and who wanted it done to begin with I suppose can be debatable. Sure.

The first attack on the Trade Center attempted using explosives in the belief that one tower would collapse on to the other.

It didn’t.

bin Laden had studied architecture and knew it was a steel building.

Heat is the enemy of steel, Not explosives. Heat is what bought down the buildings.
