The trade center weight was carried by it's outer skin, not by a set of girders like that building in Spain.

That is not at all true of WTC-7. WTC-7 was just a typical box style steel framed building with steel beams throughout. It was not the skeleton design that was used for towers 1 and 2. So, that explantion for WTC-7 collapse is not acceptable, because it is irrelevant. The fact is steel framed buildings like WTC-7 prior to and since 9/11/01 have NEVER collapsed due to fire and that is a 100% verifiable fact that people chose to ignore. What brought down WTC-7? It was not fires, they were not even hot enough to melt or deform steel, there was no jet fuel, the fires were limited and had not burned for long and infernoes that have lasted for over a day have not been able to bring down steel framed buildings prior to or since 9/11/01, so the whole idea of WTC-7 collapsing stinks to high heavens. It smells big time! It smells as bad as the CIA offices that were housed within WTC-7 and all the dastardly deeds orchestrated over the years from those same offices.
