>>>I've been looking at some of the WTC7 clips this afternoon. It's strange how it seems like every time I look at some of these things, something I hadn't noticed before seems to stand out. The penthouse on top falls before the rest of the building. In other words, the entire core support of the building had disintegrated before the collapse began. Another thing I noticed is all the shots of the collapse appear to have been caught by stationary cameras trained on the building. Also of interest is there is a roaring noise in the background which appears to have started before the beginning of the collapse, as if perhaps noise of the demolition alerted the camera crews to the money shot before the collapse began. Sort of like in the French fireman video the camera man notices the noise of a jet flying way too low and points the camera toward the noise source. It's a little hard to tell since there's always a certain amount of editing for news shows.<<<

Exactly! The penthouse appears to have a smaller footprint the top and comes down first. That is confirmed by the different cameras and angles sides shooting the building. That is also consistent with the center building supports being taken out first so that the building implodes towards its center...as it is also confirmed by the pile of remains after the collapse and minimal damage to surrounding buildings.
