    How did WTC building 7 fall?

    I don't see how 2 planes knocked down 3 buildings. And WTC 7 was further away than other buildings with much worse damage.

    This makes no sense to me. A few fires destroyed it?

    I don't see how a truck bomb exploded in the underground parking garage and didn't destroy the whole building.

    Wait; that's a reverse-conspiracy theory.

    BBC debunked the myth of the early reporting a few weeks ago.

    NIST discusses several of the common myths, and addresses WTC7 in the last paragraph at http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/factshee...8_2006.htm

    also, note in the picture below how a huge portion of the corner of WTC7 was obliterated by the collapsing main towers. No building sustaining this sort of damamge will stay up for long. With that kind of damage it was just a matter of time before the corner began a cascading collapse and took the rest of the building with it.
