two of the largest buildings in the world just blasted themselves into the ground right next door, ripping a big chunk out of 7, (img search wtc 7 damage).
there were multiple fuel tanks for backup power generation... i think like 4 or 5 different tanks of diesel around the lower floors.
the fires spread and the firefighters couldn't do shit about it (sadly by then a lot of them were either dead or very injured injured)... all the trucks that got to the scene to fight the tower fires were obliterated in the collapse of the two towers.
7 burned for a while before it dropped.
the building was showing signs of an impending collapse and the fire guys in charge ordered everyone the fuck out... they weren't trying to lose more firefighters than they already had.
it was a shitty situation but once the fires got out of control, combined with the damage, there was nothing they could have done.
it was doomed.
all they could do was try to get everyone the fuck away from that building before it came down.
All I can ever find relative to 9/11 is theories involving criminal conspiracy, which is certainly a strong possibility
I saw a materials scientist explain that once the top floor of a tower falls on the one below, the weight of the two overwhelms the supporting infrastructure, and they fall through to the next one, and so on. No melting needed.
But I was impressed with the straightness of the drops. I thought after a couple dozen stories some lateral deviation would naturally start to occur and send them toppling.
