When #7 collapsed I was positioned at West Broadway and Barclay St. The collapse was expected, inevitable and NO explosion was heard BY ME prior to the collapse.
As for the tanks:
One tank holding 6,000 gallons of fuel was in the building to provide power to the command bunker on the 23rd floor. Another set of four tanks holding as much as 36,000 gallons were just below ground on the building's southwest side for generators that served some of the other tenants.
The Fire Department repeatedly warned that a tank in that position could spread fumes throughout the building if it leaked, or, if it caught fire, could produce what one Fire Department memorandum called "disaster." Putting a tank underground typically protects it from falling debris, and impedes leaks or tank fires from spreading throughout the building.
All of these buildings were constructed of steel bar joists. They are notorious for failure under fire.
K.I.S.S.

Firefighters: Were you on site during the morning? Can you provide any insight as to when/what caused WTC6 (not 7) to "explode" as some have said here?
It seems that the reason for WTC7 has been adequately explained to everyone except die-hard conspiracists who ignore evidence and logic. So now they're talking about a missle into WTC6 at about the time the second tower was hit.
Any thoughts?

Wow Professor. That’s one I have not come across before – good one! After watching the two sets of images, they do not appear to be of the same incident. The trajectory of the top image in clearly going down whereas in the second image, it’s more on the rise. |

If you really wanted to see an animated video image, you could have performed a google search. Here is one, but I’m sure it will not be sufficient enough for you: http://www.cyberspaceorbit.com/towerblast.html

It is not clear what time this happened, but it does look like the first tower is collapsing in the background and the plume in the bottom left (not right) is probably from the collapsing tower.
Yes, I made an error above - I should have said BOTTOM LEFT. Glad you were smart enough to figure that out. That image and animated video CLEARLY show something happened to WTC 6 after both towers were hit. And no, it does not appear that any part of the tower is collapsing.

Even if we were to accept the frames/animated GIFs as being correct, it is clear by the angle that it would have landed nowhere near WTC6. It would have landed well north of the WTC area.
I disagree.

All of thee pictures were taken after 9:04am... yet smoke of any kind billowing from WTC6 is nowhere to be seen. So was WTC6 destroyed by some missle that magically doesn't create any smoke?
In that first image you posted, WTC 6 would not be anywhere in the frame. As far as the other two, could the smoke have settled? I don't know. Obviously from the image I posted and from the animated video above, SOMETHING occurred AND there was smoke. Why don’t you explain what happened to WTC 6 - why was there smoke and then there wasn’t?
quote: Originally posted by letxa2000:
Yes, I see the hole. You can call it a crater if you want. I also see rubble that appears to be from a tower in that hole, and WTC6 was next to the North Tower so it would not be surprising if something punctured it when the tower fell. It doesn't take much mass falling from 1300 feet to do tremendous damage below.
Are you kidding me? There is nothing in that crater that would have created a hole that size!

This is, again, a case of conspiracy theorists seeing what they want to see and coming up with unlikely explanations that make less sense and are less logical than less sensational reality.
I’ll tell you what this is. This is educated people thinking for themselves, looking at and studying evidence presented, finding the discrepancies and trying to makes sense of a story that does not make sense. The mainstream media one just does not support all the evidence. This reason there are different versions of “conspiracies” is because lies and deception abound. Trying to piece back a puzzle when many pieces are missing is impossible.
BTW, if you think talking with your “nice” sarcastic undertones is a way to get people involved with you in an intellectual debate, you are mistaken. I've had enough of rehashing the OLD 9/11 news. Maybe someone else will be happy to come out and play.

It depends on the angle that it is being filmed at, if you notice the video fox had it looked as if it was going up and right past the 2nd tower but when you look at it from across the way it seems like you say going more of a downward position. I don't quite think it is a missile because for one you can view this object exit the city. |

I don't think it was a missle either.
I think it was internal explosives...just like the twin towers.
Any way you slice it...TPTB wanted those buildings to come down.
Just like a certain section of the Pentagon TPTB wanted destroyed. |

Yeah, who knows? Unmanned spy craft, missile, internal explosion, whatever is was – SOMETHING happened and we don’t know the whole truth! It's frustrating!
Professor - did you find the video of the WTC 7 collapse you were looking for?

That's all I read here. I see some truth, but for the most part, Mech, shatoga, and a few others here are posting nothing but lies.

No one pays me a salary. I am posting my thoughts on what I have read here for the last year. I think it's funny how every thing that happens is a conspiracy to you. How the government is against the people of the United States, etc., etc.
If you don't love this country, then my friend LEAVE. |

Oh, and by the way, if you don't like who is running the country, then we have a process called voting. Get out and vote for who you think is best to run the country. |

Typical mindless reply!
Look, if you know that the intelligent people on this board argue for government intervention and complicity in the 9/11 horror, then why don't you just leave the board? No reason to come on here, if you know you hold the opposing position, is there? You know you won't read, you won't open to anything other than your own view, so why bother? A waste of your time, don't you think?
We've supported our opinions with ample evidence! Now you name call. Tutt Tutt!
Name-calling is so juvenile!
Bye!
