I give up.
So you are seriously questioning if such buildings as World Trade 7 are "deathtraps" that, by design, apparently have the tendency to implode for reasons not whatsover related to the catastrophic collapse of two massive 110 story buildings just 100 meters away?

Now I get to post multiple stupid emoticons to show my superiority over you and therefore feel accomplished. See how that works? Here they are... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

So what part of the collapse of the twin towers should cause WT7 to collapse? Are you suggesting seismic activity? The official government report says that the collapse caused no serious structural damage to WT7 and that the building came down as the result of fire - http://phys.org/news/2008-08-nist-wtc-collapse.html

FEMA's own report shows they found evidence of molten steel in the material recovered from building seven:
Evidence of a severe high temperature corrosion attack on the steel, including oxidation and sulfidation with subsequent intergranular melting, was readily visible in the near-surface microstructure. A liquid eutectic mixture containing primarily iron, oxygen, and sulfur formed during this hot corrosion attack on the steel... The severe corrosion and subsequent erosion of Samples 1 and 2 are a very unusual event. No clear explanation for the source of the sulfur has been identified.
https://www.fema.gov/pdf/library/fema403_apc.pdf

Office fires can't melt steel. So if the fires didn't melt the steel, what did? I'm not with the conspiracy theorists on this, the reptilians already told me they weren't involved, but I do think there are questions that haven't been adequately answered.

It all gets a bit tiresome but from what i remember the other building was damaged by debris from the twin towers. It doesnt take much to damage columns and bring a building down. I remember seeing the Central building in Bangkok after the fires and the concrete columns on the facade were demolished and being rebuilt due to the the heat of the fires. I would never have believed that fire could damage concrete like that and it just shows the temperatures generated in a building fire. A department store or an office building has so much flammable material in it.
I think there were 20,000 computers in the twin towers and they burnt very well.

    Is it just me or is the name of the tower rather unfortunate?

    This came up on FB, supposedly live, but nothing else about it yet. Somewhere near Wat Kosal.
