Most people aren’t even aware that a THIRD steel-framed skyscraper collapsed later in the afternoon at 5:20 PM. WTC Building 7 was 47 stories tall and was not hit by a plane...
The government’s official reason for its collapse is as follows:...
“The heat from the uncontrolled fires caused steel floor beams and girders to thermally expand, leading to a chain of events that caused a key structural column to fail. The failure of this structural column then initiated a fire-induced progressive collapse of the entire building.” - NIST.gov
So fire caused a 47 story steel framed building to collapse into its own footprint at free-fall speed? Right...
They think you are stupid...
I remember like ten years back it was claimed that only three steel-framed hi-rise buildings have ever collapsed due to fire in the history of such structures (all on 9/11). Probably still true today, but I admit I haven't looked at whether this is still the case.
The BBC must remember since I believe they reported the collapse of the third building while it still was shown standing on the live-feed appearing on the screen behind the news anchor. Can this really be true or did someone make a mistake converting between NY and UK time zones?
Yes the BBC reported live "we are just hearing the Salomon building has collapsed" BEFORE it did, building7 was visible through a window behind a BBC female presenter reporting live in new york with a local time clock on the screen. There was no time zone problem.
The BBC, archivists of television for decades, later claimed to have lost the recordings of the broadcast, in what Mark Thompson claimed in a statement was "a cock up not conspiracy". Jesuit educated Mark would later go on to run the New York Times, and is happily married to the daughter of Geneticist Baruch Blumberg, who won a Nobel Prize in 1976 for discovering "new mechanisms for the origin and dissemination of infectious diseases."
Ok. Looks like everything is on the up-and-up then.
