Truthers, what if WTC7 didn't catch fire?

[Orphia Nay]

Truthers, what would have happened if WTC7 didn't catch fire?

How did whoever you think did 9/11 make sure it caught fire?

Please detail the mechanisms involved. Thanks.

Which truthers are you asking? The non-government truthers or the government truthers?

You trapped a troll, are you happy now! March Madness, and we are stuck babysitting a troll!

UBL would say god made it happen! Like 911 truth, not too smart.

I don't know.

Why?

This young man, is not true. Now answer the question.

I really don't know. Maybe it was all fire, maybe it wasn't.

It certainly looked a little suspicious.

I got a hammer, I'm going this jello to the wall if it is the last thing I do!

SHC: How in Altana's name did the WTC collapses look suspicious to you? Do you have reason to believe that it was suspicious? What should it have looked like? Would you please answer these questions?

WTC7 came down just as many controlled demolitions do. Most of the buildings I've seen destroyed by fire have staggered or only partial collapses, and over a much longer period of time. WTC7 came right down all at once. There seemed to be little to no resistance, either. As if all the support columns bearing the building's weight gave out at once. I realize that's inconvenient for you, but facts are facts.

"But, but, but NIST says it ain't so and the government wouldn't lie to us!"

Ha, ha, ha!

[SpringHallConvert]

The fact of the matter is, WTC7 is completely irrelevant to the whole 9/11 "inside job" debate, because even if WTC7 collapsed due only to fires, it still wouldn't necessarily mean the U.S. government wasn't complicit in the attacks.

Precisely. Ha, ha, ha on your government "truth".

You still are not telling the truth young man. You have "theory". Now share it. Tell us what you think happened.

[Craig4]

Precisely. Ha, ha, ha on your government "truth".

Ha read as: SHC gets to be in charge here.

Ha read as: here SHC gets to be the smart one.

Ha read as: he's not the victim.

I've been making basically this same point for a while. The only way the bad guys could've known 7 would be hit by debris would be if They aimed the collapse. And that, by definition, means that North Tower was bought down outside of its own footprint. Of course, that still leaves the question of how They managed to know that none of their demo charges would be disrupted. The only other option is that the bad guys planted charges in a building they hoped would be hit by debris, and hoped that said debris wouldn't disrupt the explosives. And no, the plane theory doesn't work, since WTC 7 was of no real importance and the failed plane crashed after 7 was hit by debris.

It is fun to watch Truthers dodge the question of what actually hit 7, though. They like to act like it spontaneously caught fire, instead of having a piece of a skyscraper fall on it.

Of course, there's plenty of proof against WTC 1 and 2 being CD'd as well, and literally no evidence of USG complicity, but good effort. I'm not sure why you even bothered to enter the thread and start arguing, since you don't actually believe in CD, just US complicity with Al Qaeda. Or maybe you do. Your constant backpedalling is annoying, especially when you admit you have just as "little" evidence as we do, which makes it hypocritical as well.

- WTC7 fell onto its own footprint. Proof of CD!!
- WTC1 and 2 didn't. Proof of CD!!
- Free Fall speed with no resistance. Proof of CD!!
- Some truther measures a fall of 0.7g for WTC1. proof of CD!!!

You see, truther logic.

[000063]

The funny thing is that every single one of those is false, yet I've seen Truthers lay claim to all of them. Some even make the mutually contradicting assertions.

WTC7 came down just as many controlled demolitions do. Most of the buildings I've seen destroyed by fire have staggered or only partial collapses, and over a much longer period of time.

I doubt you have seen any collapses yourself including the collapses of 9/11 save maybe long after the fact (I have, by the way) but buildings can and do collapse for reasons other than CD all over the world. And they all look pretty similar.

I realize that's inconvenient for you, but facts are facts.

So you can produce explosive residue? Please tell us all about it.

There is no engaging in rational discussion with you, you are here to troll and push people's buttons! It's like you never graduated from Kindergarten!

You are on ignore, little troll!

[Sword_Of_Truth]

I don't know.

Why?

It was fire.

A really big one.

Ask the firefighters.

Can we stop quoting this creature please? I'm afraid I'll get contact retarded.

Seriously...why have you all allowed yourself to be continously looped in circles by this obvious and blatant troll? He's presented nothing. He's admitted to trying to "get government truthers running in circles". Just freaking stop and ignore him. It will go nowhere, and no matter how much you think you're ridiculing and putting him in his place, he doesn't care and is just going to continue.

Don't rely on NIST and the government, then. Rely on the FDNY who reported fires on almost every floor and knew the tower would collapse due to structural failure a full two hours before it collapsed.

[cjnewson88]

I believe it was ergo or kreel in the 'pull it' thread who stated the north tower was wired so it would collapse into 7. Although, I've heard other truthers say UA93 was supposed to go into 7 before it was 'shot down' after a successful passenger revolt.. so that would put to rest the idea the north tower was wired so, because, well, there would be no need to. For that story, I guess it was just a stroke of luck WTC1s demolition flew a giant chunk of skyscraper into 7.

Of course ergo, who holds the completely unfounded (and heavily disproven) belief that there were massive bomb blasts in 7's lobby prior to either tower collapsing, barely recognises the collapse of the north tower having anything to do with fires/collapse of building 7.

To be honest, before the OP can ask such a question, we should really ask if we can get a definitive, all agreed narrative of what happened, rather than each truther holding their individual beliefs of what they think must have taken place.. Then we can start asking about specifics.

we are long overdue for a realistic way of managing trolling.

...and agreement on the rationale of "Make no response -- don't feed their egos."

Whatever "fun" there is in responding the resulting ego feed to the troll outweighs the "fun" benefit.

I doubt that he holds that belief. Rather his primary goal is trolling and will state anything provided it:
1) Irritates people into responding; and/or
2) Makes sure that discussion circles and doesn't progress.

I think he sincerely believed it. During the 'pull it' thread he defended it black and blue until we had explained and proved him wrong from every possible angle. He eventually just stop replying and ignored we existed (signaling to me that he knew he'd been proven wrong). A troll would just continue to claim they were correct and complete ignore all evidence provided *SCH*:)

I understand that. Ergo switches modes. Pure troll most of the time but on occasions he becomes genuinely interested in the topic, switches intio "genuine discussion" mode and some genuine debate follows. It is usually quite obvious when he switches out of troll mode. C7 behaves similarly but he puts a lot more effort into the pretended "sciency stuff". And occasionally lets slip that he is being genuine. Too much of the "on topic" stuff for it to be entirely a "poe" or other form of clever trolling strategy.

[000063]

Yeah, that's one of the things that bugs me about him. He's clearly a very intelligent person who nonetheless decides to stick his fingers in his ears and go "la la can't hear you!" most of the time.

I have him on ignore! But it does no good when he's quoted every passage.
