(33,982 posts)Talk of EXPLOSIVES has been discounted utterly. There is a difference. You short circuit 100 acres of office equipment x2, plus ancillary damage to surrounding buildings, you tend to have problems at the power substation. The con Edison substation is below WTC7, and is the reason for the three 'yokes' that make up the core frame of the building on the lower levels. Things also go boom in fires, from overpressure, that aren't actually explosives/bombs.
NIST used audio evidence to discount the sort of charges needed to cut a main support, they didn't rule out things going bang for other lesser/different reasons. Nothing about transformers blowing up either. Big boom to a witness, pathetic when considering the force required to cut a beam of a certain size.
I'm sure there is some dust uptake in the damage, but some of the smoke is black, not the prevailing grey of the dust, and the convection/chimney effect through WTC7 is quite obvious. There's plenty of heat in that fire. It is a long span cantilever steel frame. The outcome does not seem suspicious to me.
Your commentary on the 'looking for explanations after' bit rings false for me. There were plenty of updates on the impending doom of that building as the day wore on, and as the kink in the outer walls became visible to inspectors on the ground.
I have a couple questions remaining about the timeline of events of what happened to WTC7, but they are not fatal to the official explanation. First, I want to know where the portside engine of flight 175 went. Starboard went over the post office. Landing gear just barely missed WTC7 and hit 45 Park Place. Where did the port engine go? Where did that 7" thick, 5000rpm titanium javelin go, that makes up the heart of the engine? Seems to me it would have hit WTC7 if it exited the face of WTC2. Second question I have, was there any major electrical damage in the substation prior to, or during the collapse of WTC2/1. Any fires.
That's it. That's all that is unresolved about WTC7 for me.
