WTC Bldg #7 12

I was somewhat taken aback by watching this video posted on another forum. What is the general opinion of structural engineers on the theory of a "controlled demolition" of this building?

As I said, I don't subscribe to any particular conspiracy theory about 9/11 but you can swear that there are lots of things that can make any rational mind to raise a brow, if only to arrange the facts for consideration. But of course there are as well many that don't want to look at all at such things. I understand that certainly our particular abilities are better employed in things we are more proficient than perusing funny writings about things, but I have never felt comfy on just being a tool for someone getting his purpose. I mean, happy new world á la Huxley is not for me the correct proposition for the place of people in the world, and I think education should enable all us to look well beyond our core practical activities. The ongoing crisis has many people far-off the core of reason saying appalling truths, this reminds me the joke of the fool seated at the wall of the insane asylum saying to someone (after giving sound advice to him): Well, we those here are tha mad, not the stupids!

Well, you would be surprised to read at some website (as I read once) that even the 2 WTC towers had built-in demolition charges at construction time; I think to remember it was second hand testimony as told to the writer of such item by someone that purportedly was himself in such works.

Pshaw...get with the times daddio!

Mini-nukes in the basement is where it's at. Or, as in another theory, conventional explosives were used to supplement the destruction, because you know those darn mini-nukes just didn't have enough oomph on their own.

Sometimes if you didn't laugh you'd cry.

As I said, I don't believe the story -I am not a "believer", understand it as you are willing to- just brought it to discussion. You may laugh whathever you want, so anyone can.

There are many unknowns and unbelievable things en 9/11 matters -and not only in the conspiracy side- at least from the public viewpoint, and there are lots of people not wanting such things well established and known.

I have no particular interest in such established truths whatever their final clarity and stance, I have clear what of political activities can be expected as pertaining to truth, since interest overrides it every time they deem necessary so.

But to make gullible of those that are not, even within their imperfect knowledge, does not seem to me precisely a convenient proposition from a rational viewpoint.

I found it interesting that the metallurgical "experts" interviewed in the clip fixated on the existence of microscopic spheres of iron as proof of the thermite conspiracy. As a real metallurgist, I have seen many cases of microscopic iron spheres showing up as extraneous debris due to torch cutting of large samples to get them down to lab workable size. So, it shouldn't surprise any one that iron particle debris was found, given that lots of torch cutting (and probably the use of Thermite cutting rods)undoubtedly went on during the recovery of survivors and the later body retrieval on Towers 1 and 2.
