"That the collapse of WTC 7 initiated in virtual silence? And that there are no such thing as silent explosives?
That the building was on fire, which means that any system of explosives was also on fire? And thus, would have burned up?"
This has already been addressed multiple times,
If by 'addressed', you mean
you simply deny it ever happened and ignore all the video and eye witness accounts that demonstrate you don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about, then its been 'addressed'. If however you mean you've been able to credibly explain why any rational person would ignore the videos and FDNY eye witness accounts that contradict you....then no. You never have.
Why would I ignore the FDNY and the video that contradicts you. And instead believe you, citing yourself? Especially when every other aspect of your conspiracy fails so laughably and miserably. No apparatus of explosives, no cut girders, no bomb residue, the Port Authority Bomb squad with their bomb sniffing dogs finding no bombs, etc.
Explain it to us. Why would I or any other rational person ignore the mountains of evidence that you do?
the fact is that theatrical fires could have been done so as to be visible from outside the building but present no danger to the demolition charges placed in the building.
You say 'theatrical fires' were a fact, huh? Surely you realize that typing the word 'fact' doesn't magically make it so, right? Especially when you can't backany of that up with the slightest evidence. You have no experience with fires, theatrical or otherwise. You weren't at the fire in question.
The FDNY was and was. They watched the fire burned, uncontrolled. They put a transit on the building and measured WTC 7's slow structural failure. Its burning. Its buckling. Its leaning. They anticipated its collapse DUE to those fires by hours. They were able to predict the collapse of the WTC to within about an hour. And the NIST investigation backs the overwhelming majority of their assessment.
And then there's you, saying they are all wrong. Because you watched a 27 second youtube video a decade after the fact and know better.
Laughing...that's adorable! But really, what evidence do you have that the fires were 'theatrical'. So far its you citing yourself......and you citing yourself. While the folks contradicting you are experts in their field, and actually present at the fire in question for hours.
The concern there again, it was later in the afternoon, 2, 2:30, like I said. The fear then was Seven. Seven was free burning. Search had been made of 7 already from what they said so they had us back up to that point where we were waiting for 7 to come down to operate from the north back down.

Odd, he doens't mention a 'theatrical fire' once. Its like you don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about.
At this point Seven World Trade was going heavy, and they weren't letting anybody get too close. Everybody was expecting that to come down.
–Firefighter Vincent Massa
But hey, they were only fire fighting experts with collective centuries of experience who were eye witnesses to the fire in question for hours. What could they possibly know compared
to you....and your 27 second youtube video?
I walked out and I got to Vesey and West, where I reported to Frank [Cruthers]. He said, we’re moving the command post over this way, that building’s coming down.
At this point, the fire was going virtually on every floor, heavy fire and smoke that really wasn’t 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.

But you know better than the deputy chief, huh? Laughing....no you don't.
Building #7 was still actively burning and at that time we were advised by a NYFD Chief that building #7 was burning out of control and imminent collapse was probable.

A fire chief indicating that the building was actively burning, out of control, and imminent collapse was probable. That's a trifecta of contradiction for your silly little conspiracy, isn't it?
Best ignore them all. After all, they might actually inform you what happened. And you couldn't have that.
...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 o’clock in the afternoon, but by about 2 o’clock 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 that’s 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 didn’t 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.

But you know better than Deputy Chief Hayden, huh? Um, no....you don't. You're clueless. You have no relevant experience in fires and weren't there. And Hayden is an expert with 33 years of experience, and
was there.
Hayden is credible. You aren't.
So, with the building on fire, any system of explosives would have burned. And you've been able to offer us nothing to resolve this theory killing hole. Ending your junk conspiracy yet again.
Oh, and BTW, the 13th floor was where the NIST investigation found the buckling began. Perfectly matching the FDNY account. So that's two expert sources with access to the site that contradict you. And nothing backing you up. You lose again.
and also your collapsed in silence argument is so far off the mark, the fact is that witnesses heard explosions, and explosions were recorded on the audio track of videos done that day.
Then show us. Here's a video of the collapse of the WTC 7.
It collapse initiates so quietly it doesn't interrupt the conversation of those nearby.
The video literally shows the opposite of what you claim. So what do you do? What you always do when faced with compelling, contradictory evidence. You ignore it.
But why would a rational person ignore what you do? There is no reason. You simply don't know what you're talking about.
