you just keep going with that line of bullshit if it makes you happy ...every thing that happened to wtc7 from the second the first debris struck it till the dust settled are part of the causation.The collapse of the penthouses doesn't change the amount of time required for WTC7's roof-line to collapse vertically through the path of greatest resistance in less than seven seconds.You mean the eight seconds before a 47 story building collapsed into its footprint in less than eight seconds with 2.25 seconds at free-fall acceleration? Why do you think what happened to the penthouses had any affect on the observed free-fall period which would have required 400 structural steel connections over all eight floors to fail simultaneously?
I mean the 8 seconds that you don't want to count as part of the collapse because it destroys your BS theory.
The penthouses are likely distractions designed to confuse rather than illuminate what actually happened.
The explosions were neither silent nor invisible.Sure wasn't invisible silent explosions.

"There is much, much more if anyone cares to look into it. Trade Tower #7 by itself is the 'smoking gun'. Not hit by an aircraft, with only a few relatively small fires, it came down in a classic crimp and implosion, going straight into its basement, something only very precise demolition can accomplish, which takes days if not weeks to prepare.
Yes it really is the most obvious thing in the world. Another disturbing thing about 7 is how the media blacked out the story of its collapse. They were in on the coverup from the start.
When the towers collapsed, FDNY lost 343 Firefighters
At that point they were not going to risk another firefighter. Especially in an evacuated WTC 7. The fires were allowed to burn unabated and nobody was going to do a thing about it. Intense fire weakens steel and a weakened structure collapses. That is what happened to WTC 7

Not like that.
Almost. You had to cut the quote in half, omit amazingly relevant details and reimagine the punctuation. But you almost got it. Here's the actual quote, without your creative reimagining, with the bolded portions the parts you removed:"No manual firefighting actions were taken by FDNY." [Fema Report]
WTC 7 collapsed approximately 7 hours after the collapse of WTC 1. Preliminary indications were that, due to lack of water, no manual firefighting actions were taken by FDNY."
http://www.fema.gov/pdf/library/fema403_ch5.pdf
At approximately, 2:30 p.m., FDNY officers decided to completely abandon WTC 7, and the final order was given to evacuate the site around the building. 395, 396 The order terminated the ongoing rescue operations at WTC 6 and on the rubble pile of WTC 1. Firefighters and other emergency responders were withdrawn from the WTC 7 area, and the building continued to burn. At approximately 5:20 p.m., some three hours after WTC 7 was abandoned the building experienced a catastrophic failure and collapsed.

Firehouse: Chief Nigro said they made a collapse zone and wanted everybody away from number 7 did you have to get all of those people out?
Hayden: Yeah, we had to pull everybody back. It was very difficult. We had to be very forceful in getting the guys out. They didnt want to come out. There were guys going into areas that I wasnt even really comfortable with, because of the possibility of secondary collapses. We didnt know how stable any of this area was. We pulled everybody back probably by 3 or 3:30 in the afternoon. We said, this building is going to come down, get back. It came down about 5 oclock or so, but we had everybody backed away by then.

The most important operational decision to be made that afternoon was the collapse had damaged 7 World Trade Center, which is about a 50 story building, at Vesey between West Broadway and Washington Street. It had very heavy fire on many floors and I ordered the evacuation of an area sufficient around to protect our members, so we had to give up some rescue operations that were going on at the time and back the people away far enough so that if 7 World Trade did collapse, we wouldnít lose any more people.

Then we found out, I guess around 3:00 o' clock, that they thought 7 was going to collapse. So, of course, we've got guys all in this pile over here and the main concern was get everybody out, and I guess it took us over an hour and a half, two hours to get everybody out of there...
This whole pile was burning like crazy. Just the heat and the smoke from all the other buildings on fire, you couldn't see anything. So it took us a while and we ended up backing everybody out, and that is when 7 collapsed.

Here's the problem with your narrative: the conversation was between Silverstein and the FDNY. Silverstein obviously didn't 'pull' the WTC 7 per your narrative. That leaves only the FDNY.
Finally they pulled us out. They said all right,
get out of that building because that 7, they were really
worried about. They pulled us out of there and then they
regrouped everybody on Vesey Street, between the water and
West Street. They put everybody back in there.

Worker #1: Oh, were getting ready to pull building six.
Luis Mendes: We have to be very careful how we demolish building six. We were worried about the building six coming down and demolishing the slurry wall, so we wanted that particular building to fall within a certain area.
Worker #1: Weve got the cables attached in four different locations... <hard to hear>... Now theyre pulling [gestures to vehicles] pulling the building to the north. Its not every day you try to pull down a eight storey building with cables

You wouldn't know the truth if it went BOOM BOOM BOOM on your head:
"CRAIG BARTMER NYPD: "I walked around it (Building 7). I saw a hole. I didn't see a hole bad enough to knock a building down, though.
"Yeah there was definitely fire in the building, but I didn't hear any... I didn't hear any creaking, or... I didn't hear any indication that it was going to come down.
"And all of a sudden the radios exploded and everyone started screaming 'get away, get away, get away from it!'... It was at that moment... I looked up, and it was nothing I would ever imagine seeing in my life. The thing started pealing in on itself...
...also we were pretty sure that 7 World Trade Center would collapse. Early on, we saw a bulge in the southwest corner between floors 10 and 13, and we had put a transit on that and we were pretty sure she was going to collapse. You actually could see there was a visible bulge, it ran up about three floors. It came down about 5 oclock in the afternoon, but by about 2 oclock in the afternoon we realized this thing was going to collapse.
Firehouse: Was there heavy fire in there right away?
Hayden: No, not right away, and thats probably why it stood for so long because it took a while for that fire to develop. It was a heavy body of fire in there and then we didnt make any attempt to fight it. That was just one of those wars we were just going to lose. We were concerned about the collapse of a 47-story building there. We were worried about additional collapse there of what was remaining standing of the towers and the Marriott, so we started pulling the people back after a couple of hours of surface removal and searches along the surface of the debris. We started to pull guys back because we were concerned for their safety.

I walked out and I got to Vesey and West, where I reported to Frank. He said, were moving the command post over this way, that buildings coming down. At this point, the fire was going virtually on every floor, heavy fire and smoke that really wasnt bothering us when we were searching because it was being pushed southeast and we were a little bit west of that. I remember standing just where West and Vesey start to rise toward the entrance we were using in the World Financial Center. There were a couple of guys standing with me and a couple of guys right at the intersection, and we were trying to back them up and here goes 7. It started to come down and now people were starting to run.
FDNY Deputy Chief Nick Visconti
Deputy Chief Nick Visconti - Firehouse
Boyle: ...on the north and east side of 7 it didnt look like there was any damage at all, but then you looked on the south side of 7 there had to be a hole 20 stories tall in the building, with fire on several floors. Debris was falling down on the building and it didnt look good.
Firehouse: When you looked at the south side, how close were you to the base of that side?
Boyle: I was standing right next to the building, probably right next to it.
Firehouse: When you had fire on the 20 floors, was it in one window or many?
Boyle: There was a huge gaping hole and it was scattered throughout there. It was a huge hole. I would say it was probably about a third of it, right in the middle of it. And so after Visconti came down and said nobody goes in 7, we said all right, well head back to the command post. We lost touch with him. I never saw him again that day.

....Captain Varriale told Chief Coloe and myself that 7 World Trade Center was badly damaged on the south side and definitely in danger of collapse. Chief Coloe said we were going to evacuate the collapse zone around 7 World Trade Center, which we did.

The biggest decision we had to make was to clear the area and create a collapse zone around the severely damaged [WTC Building 7]. A number of fire officers and companies assessed the damage to the building. The appraisals indicated that the building's integrity was in serious doubt
FDNY Chief Daniel Nigro
http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/entity.jsp?id=1521846767-634
From there, we looked out at 7 World Trade Center again. You could see smoke, but no visible fire, and some damage to the south face. You couldnt really see from where we were on the west face of the building, but at the edge of the south face you could see that it was very heavily damaged.

Not like that.
"This is a phenomenally short time: a stone dropped from the top of the building would have reached the ground (covering a distance of 174 meters) in 5.95 seconds if there were no air resistance!
"However, in principle the distance analyzed should be that from the top of the building to the top of the debris pile, not to the ground.
"As the exact height of the debris pile is not documented, it is more useful to examine the early stages of the collapse, during which the debris pile does not need to be taken into account.
"According to the video analysis presented in the 9-11 Eyewitness documentary, starting from the state of rest, WTC 7 fell 100 meters in 4.5 seconds. This results in an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2, corresponding to a free fall.
"To verify this, I examined the fall of a corner of the building in one collapse video using Blaze Media Pro video editing software. The corner fell 56 meters (=the distance between the Start and End lines in the animation below) in 3.47 seconds.
"This results in an acceleration of 9.3 m/s2, which corresponds to a very low resistance factor of the structural supports: only 5 percent of the force of gravity of the building's falling upper section."
The Destruction of WTC 7: The Destruction of WTC 7
We walked over by number Seven World Trade Center
as it was burning and saw this 40-plus story building with fire
on nearly all floors.
Lt. Robert Larocco
The major concern at that time at that particular location was number Seven, building number seven, which had taken a big hit from the north tower. When it fell,
it ripped steel out from between the third and sixth floors across the facade on Vesey Street. We were concerned that the fires on several floors and the missing steel would result in the building collapsing.
So for the next five or six hours we kept firefighters from working anywhere near that building, which included the whole north side of the World Trade Center
complex. Eventually around 5:00 or a little after, building number seven came down.
Assistant Chief Frank Fellini

And you can't link to any official FDNY document claiming that WTC7 collapsed through its path of greatest resistance in less than seven seconds because of office fires. Apparently, you're ignorant of how many tons of structural steel made up the path of greatest resistance. Why would anyone waste time on what you don't know?sure was fun watching you hand agent rightwinger his ass to him on a platter.simple as pie to do.welcome to the fairy tale land agent rightwinger lives in.a troll that refuses to acknowledge facts that exist,ignores holes that shoot through the 9/11 coverups commission,and closes his eyes to those holes.
You're clearly not reading my posts. Try again, this time not skimping over the FDNY's assessment that the WTC 7 collapsed due to fire and structural damage.
Or the fact that the WTC 7 began falling in virtual silence. No explosions, no explosives after all!
Or that the Port authority bomb squad went through the entire WTC plaza with bomb sniffing dogs and found nothing only a week before the collapse....
Or that no residue of explosives was found in the dust samples.....
Or that no girders were cut in a manner consistent with explosive demolition....
Or that no explosives or apparatus of explosives were ever found before, during or after the collapse.....
Or that the WTC 7 was on fire, meaning that any system of explosives you make up was also on fire. And explosives and fire don't play well together.
Any one of which demonstrates the absurdity of the truther conspiracy. And you can't explain any of them.

I must be death and blind, the sound graph didn't show any explosions, and I didn't hear any....
Now what was going on during those 8 seconds that you don't want to talk about?

rightwingers name was listed there and it looked like you told him he was nuts so i just assumed you were arguing with him.well now that i know you are the newest government disinformation paid trolls to penetrate this site now so that makes you the newest one to add to my ignore list.
You're ignoring the fact that scattered office fires can't collapse a 47 story building in less than seven seconds through its path of greatest resistance. Have you discovered how many tons of structural steel comprised WTC7's path of greatest resistance? You also ignore the documented free-fall acceleration of WTC7 over 2.25 seconds and 100 feet. What does the FDNY say about that?You mean the eight seconds before a 47 story building collapsed into its footprint in less than eight seconds with 2.25 seconds at free-fall acceleration? Why do you think what happened to the penthouses had any affect on the observed free-fall period which would have required 400 structural steel connections over all eight floors to fail simultaneously?I must be death and blind, the sound graph didn't show any explosions, and I didn't hear any....
Now what was going on during those 8 seconds that you don't want to talk about?
The collapsing penthouse proves that the internal structure of the building was already failing. Remember, the penthouse collapsed INTO WTC 7. And in all likelyhood, the collapse began far before the penthouse collapse. The FDNY had been measuring the building's leaning, buckling and slow structural failure over hours.
You're only acknowledging the final collapse of the building's facade, and ignoring everything that lead up to it. No person actually interested in the building's collapse would do this. You're fronting a conspiracy that doesn't work. And when confronted with theory killing holes in your conspiracy....
....you ignore them all and keep pretending none exist.
Most folks aren't inclined to pretend with you.
