WTC 7 Theory

[Eikon]

I just came up with this and wanted to get some opinions. Has anyone ever heard of the idea that the plane that went down in Pennsylvania was meant for WTC building 7? My thinking is that the charges planted in WTC 7, as in the other two buildings, were set to go off at a certain time, and that for whatever reason the government was unable to cancel the planned demolition of the building even though the plane never made it to its target. The 911 commision's report that the building went down due to fires or whatever they came up with is complete bull, of course. Anyone think there could be truth to this theory?

1. Uhhhh.....no. nt

[Eikon]

2. So you think the buildings collapsed in an hour due to fire?

or just disagree with my theory in general?

[DS1]

4. Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to hit the Empire State

or Statue of Liberty, or the Chrysler Building, or the GW Bridge, or the Brooklyn Bridge instead of a relatively small and unremarkable building like WTC7?

[Old and In the Way]

11. WTC housed the Federal investigations on Wall Street cases.

Just another fortunate occurance for the criminals....

[dchill]

16. Actually, it would make more "sense"...

to do all your "pre-demolition" work in the same place. I don't think any of the properties you mentioned are owned by the same "folks" - Larry Silverstein, who signed a 99-year lease on the World Trade Center in July 2001.

Just sayin'. I've often wondered whether there might have been a third plane crash planned on 9/11. That WTC7 pancake just seems SOOOO obvious...

[leftofthedial]

28. But WTC7 was not unremarkable

It contained records of many governmetn investigations

[hack89]

27. Where did you get the hour from ..

WTC 7 collapsed nearly seven hours after the towers collapsed - since the most likely cause of the fires was debris from the towers those fires burned for seven hours - I think that is long enough to cause a collapse.

[sabbat hunter]

25. too hard of a target

WTC 7 while tall, given all the other buildings around it would be impossible to hit with an airplane.

[dchill]

26. Maybe not...

after the towers were down. If it was a plan, that would be in the plan, right?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

3. Never heard of it either.

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[Eikon]

5. Well...

They did hit the west side of the Pentagon, the side that would cause the least amount of damage and just happened to be unoccupied at the time. Are we to believe that terrorists weren't smart enough to know of an effective spot to strike the pentagon at?

The 3rd plane being meant for WTC 7 is just something I came up with, I haven't personally heard of the idea anywhere else. The reason I believe this is because of the blatant destruction of the building. It collapsed in its own footprint in an amount of time that is not physically possible unless every floor is removed before the one above it is about to strike it, as if the entire building was in freefall.

The news media has also vehemently refused to replay any footage of the WTC 7 collapse because they simply have no way to explain it. Small fires could not have caused the collapse of such a massive steel building. Only thermite or some other explosive could account for the time in which it fell, or the melted steel that was found at the base of the buildings that was promptly carted off by FEMA.

I was hoping to get some opinions from an open minded crowd here at DU. At least we can all agree that the building went down due to planted explosives, right? This is simply common sense. Ask any professor...

6. what were the agencies in wtc7?

cia?

loose change mentioned something about some agency that was investigating ?? what?? i can't remember offhand--but i thought...hummmm....

[DemInDistress]

19. The S.E.C. was investigating cheney and Halliburton for

deals overseas..it could have led to criminal indictments but fortunately for the crime family WT7 was destroyed under suspicious circumstances. The 12th floor where the SEC had their office was a raging inferno as was the 7th or 8th floor where the CIA had secret operations offices..Just several floors within WT7 were ablaze some suspect arson rather than the collapse of WT1. Also, when WT2 collapsed WT7 was still in good order and operational. Seems awfully suspicious..

7. I don't think so. WTC 7 was a relatively short building

surrounded by many taller buildings. It's not possible to hit it with a plane without hitting another building first.

[WoodrowFan]

8. I was thinking the same thing

I've been down there, you couldn't hit WTC with a plane that big. Sorry, it's a dumb idea.

[petgoat]

23. You're not only wring, you are gratuitously rude n/t

[petgoat]

22. Not possible? Looks to me like you could get a pretty good

shot at it from the north.



And of course once the towers were down, the path was relatively clear from the south.
Hey, if a lousy pilot like Hani could fly his 757 four feet off the ground and hit the
four-story high Pentagon, a better pilot should be able to hit 20 stories of WTC7.

[mirandapriestly]

9. That's an interesting idea, hmmm..maybe.

I think they wanted to get rid of a lot of "documentation" in that building.

20. Make7 glad you checked in...that site you gave me

terrorize dk. has been pulled from the internet..do you think its suspicious or common since it has received much play these past 2 days what with molten metal dripping from the 80th floor of WT2 Can I get your opinion? I do value your input..

thanks Dem... you Make7>

edit for spelling

24. You could email them and ask.

The most likely explanation is that they have exceeded the bandwidth allowed by their webhost. Since the main address is still active (i.e. no 404 error), but goes to a page with a link for the site of a webhost in denmark - I think that is probably what is happening.

There is also the possibility that either the site or the webhost are performing upgrades. That might take them offline for a little while. If this is the case, they should be back up in a day or two. However, it usually does not take that long.

If they have exceeded their bandwidth, it should most likely be back up the first of next month. But after that, if it's still not up, it may have been shutdown for some reason. (To be speculated upon later.)

In the meantime, I'm going to PM you their contact info - in case you want to write and ask them what is going on. And it wouldn't hurt to profusely thank them for their entire site in order to entice them into replying.

12. What plane........

went down in Pennsylvania?

[we can do it]

17. Yet Another Vaporizing Jet!

[dchill]

18. You have given me...

a chuckle. :)

[Harald Ragnarsson]

13. Just a guess on my part

2 theories really.

I think the plane was supposed to hit the Capitol Building. Due to taking off late, the plane was shot down before it had a chance to do its' mission.

Or, all 4 planes took off at 25% capacity, approximately. 4 X .25=1 In other words, were all the passengers from the other planes loaded onto this one and then it was shot down to eliminate all witnesses? Maybe this is how they got DNA for the Pentagon passengers even though they claim the entire plane was vaporized.

Just brainstorming here.

[WoodrowFan]

15. the passengers

so somehow they got all the passengers from all four planes onto one plane, even though the planes took off from Boston, Newark and Dulles? And many of the passengers were dropped off at the airport by their family and friends. So what, they did a mid-flight transfer in mid air?



bye bye

[MrSammo1]

21. What passengers?

Names on a list can be meaningless.

>>>And many of the passengers were dropped off at the airport by their family and friends<<<

It falls on your shoulders to prove that statement.

Videos of the passengers and hijackers will do.

Good luck!

14. i don't think the demo charges were on timers

to much uncertainty in exact time of arrival of the planes. it's possible that the Emergency Command Center in 7 was used as a control room for the demolition of the towers, if so then 7 contained damning evidence of the inside job.

wtc7 isn't very tall compared to the towers; given the surrounding high-rise buildings it would be much harder to hit then the towers. And wtc7 isn't exactly the kind of symbol of US dominance that the towers and the Pentagon were/are. So there'd be less reason to attack it.

I think we're supposed to think it's plausible wtc7 was so damaged by falling debris from the towers that it to collapsed. (Never mind that other wtc buildings were far more damaged then 7 - but did not collapse.)
