In reply to the discussion: Building 7 [View all]William Seger
(11,729 posts)61. "Building 7! Symetric collapse just like CD til out of sight. "
Yep, the top of the building falling looks just like a CD after the explosives have started the collapse and gravity is doing the rest. It falls at the same rate as a Verinage demolition, which doesn't use any explosives, but instead collapses some walls with hydraulic jacks to start the collapse and lets gravity do the rest. That's why it's so truly bizarre when "truthers" claim some "law of physics" was violated by WTC7 but not by a CD.
