Please find me a building in history that has collapsed that fast from a fire.
Once again, you have failed to provide evidence to support your claims.



What exactly is the standard of evidence for a symmetrical collapse? We all saw it collapse symmetrically.

Please show me the boeing that hit building seven which is the specific building we are discussing.

Explain where the axis of symmetry was, then we'll be able to say whether the collapse was symmetrical or not.

Whoops-- my bad. Too many threads at once to keep track of!

The axis of symmetry was down the centre of the north face of wtc7.

Well, since the video shows that the eastern part of WTC 7 starts collapsing before the western half (note that the dip in the roofline isn't centered, either), and because the wreckage is piled up more to the west than the east, then we can say that either you're mistaken about where the axis of symmetry was, or you're mistaken in your claim that the building collapsed symmetrically.

No I am not mistaken. The collapse was entirely symmetrical about that axis. The penthouse falling first is neither here nor there. You are denying what you see with your own eyes. Is that the actions of a rationalist?

I'm not denying what I see: you're blowing off the other evidence of a non-symmetrical collapse in favor of focusing on the penthouse. I gave you three reasons why the collapse wasn't symmetrical around the center of the north face of the building, and you're ignoring two of them, and claiming the third doesn't matter (when, of course, it's part of what I see with my own eyes).

Why don't you head on over to this thread and help your buddy explain why this is evidence of a controlled demolition at all. Oh, I see you're already trying.

Do you have a problem with us joining your forum? We don't intend to break any rules.

The collapse was entirely symmetrical. You can continue to deny it and if you wish you can also tell me black is white.

Why would you think I have a problem with you joining?

And you can continue to ignore the evidence of a non-symmetrical collapse for all I care. I laid it out for you, and you have no response to it other than simple denial. I left such games on the playground nearly 30 years ago.
