So there are multiple videos of building 7 going down in a matter of a few seconds, collapsing just like an intentionally demolished building would go down..

A 50 story large office complex gone in about 5 seconds...

That fast... Just like that...

Now can someone explain the physics of how it's possible for an entire building to collapse in a matter of seconds, when there was no major damage to the building. How does the entire building fall at exactly the same moment?

How does that happen without intentional, internal weakening of the support columns, that couldn't have been done by the small amount of damage to that building...

Especially when it's never happened before to a steel skyscraper in human history...

Make sure you've seen the vast amount of footage available of this almost instantly collapsed 50 story building..

Are you serious? I’m no engineer by any stretch of the imagination...but, what are you suggesting here?

You should have watched the show. You may have learned something like the fact the building didn’t have support columns but trusses and when the trusses finally heated to the point of weakening, it collapsed. The fires were fed by diesel that were used to run emergency generators in that area. See what happened to the truss bridge in Min a few weeks ago when one little area failed? Catastrophic huh? I guess it should have fallen slower, like the movies.

Problem is, too few Americans today have any real scientific knowledge or experience in building and making things anymore. All their knowledge comes from movies and that’s the model they use to judge real events. It’s all magic to them.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Go find one of the nutter sites to enjoy some kindred spirits.

What, you mean a steel skyscraper has never been right next to a couple of 100+ story buildings that have just been catastrophically brought down? You are right.
