<If buildings collapse so well all by themselves> To be fair, haven't there been several buildings in the area taken down due to structural damage??? My fiends on the American Stock exchange (2 blocks down Trinity Place) said it felt like an earthquake from the vibration. I think the American didn't open for a week or so while they checked for structural damage... further, I think part of the WTC area was on landfill, famous for being blamed for problems in SF earthquake in ceratin areas.

re: Look at the WT7 video again ---------- wg, As you likely know, there have been only 3 steel structure buildings, in the history of steel building construction, that have ever collapsed from fire: WTC1 WTC2 WTC7 There are numerous steel building fires on record, a number that began with large aircraft impacts... many that were far, far worse, hotter, and longer than the kerosene fuel fires (yes, for others than you, jet fuel is kerosene) in WTC1&2 on 9/11 that burned inefficiently and relatively cool, as evidenced by the black smoke on the videos. As for WTC7 -- implying that the few small, scattered fires filmed were the cause the the collapse is... surreal.
