Building 7?

Who still has confidence in the MSM?
Is this important? IMHO YES. 911 resulted in never ending messes created in the Middle East. It has cost America $Trillions of unpayable “debt” and thousands of lives. Many ruined lives.

Yeah, Building 7. It collapsed. Weird how that happened. Maybe it was because building 7 was built kind of weird. You know, 6th floor transverse trusses and cantilevers to accommodate the ConEd station underneath. Then there was that thing about heavy damage from tower debris and fires that couldn't be fought. I reckon you anti-America truther loons will never let go of your fictional drama and get a grip on reality.
Apart from that, you might benefit from reading up on the history of the ME and Islam. It would give you the proper perspective. Your hate America meme is not only insulting, it has become very boring. Same horseshit over and over and over.
I have asked truthers many times to explain how they think the twin towers and WTC 7 were rigged for explosive demolition. Since they defend this theory without a shred of evidence and rely solely on speculation (and, of course, the opinions of many pros who obviously have butchered science to support the theory), I thought that at least one truther could provide some idea of the process with which the WTC buildings were prepped for implosion. Since truthers claim to observe explosions occurring on every floor at the collapse front, this implies that the project would have required a phenomenal effort to achieve such a thing. Some truthers even try to prove the theory with a single photograph, but this attempt only shows a level of ignorance that defies all reason.
Each of the twin towers consisted of approx 110 acres (10 million square feet) of floor space--each floor held approx 70,000 cubic feet of air. One tower had 12 miles of core columns and about 60 miles of hollow box steel perimeter columns. In order to accommodate an efficient elevator system, each tower was divided into 3 sections, separated by sky lobbies on the 44th and 78th floors. 24 local elevators served each section and 8 express elevators ran to the 44th floor Skylobby, 11 express elevators to the 78th floor Skylobby. Two additional express elevators went from the Concourse to the top floors of the Tower. A total of 93 elevators, each of which with its own machinery and heavy lube tanks located on 5 separate floors up through each section. The express elevators were run with very heavy machinery and lube tanks located in the core at the 44th, 78th, and the roof.
In addition to the elevator systems, the core also contained all the stairwells, electrical systems, electronics, phone systems, water supply, and all the rest rooms on every floor. This unique situation would present a demolition crew with some very challenging problems.
Apparently, truthers refuse to research the art and science of building demolition, they make no attempt to apply an objective approach to explaining their theory. And so they have missed, or intentionally ignored, what in the real world of building implosions are critical to a successful demolition. Without getting into the details, just the building prep alone, even before the installation of the explosives, is a long and detailed process--lots of very intrusive work involved. And, if as the truthers claim, there were explosive charges installed at every floor, the project would have been impossible to accomplish. It wouldn't matter how professional or well-trained such a demolition crew was, they could not have achieved what truthers claim they did.
So how about it? Any of you truthers want to take a shot. If you can provide a scenario of how this was done, something actually feasible, believable, convincing, then I'm all ears.
