then why did the leaseholder say....


"I remember getting a call from the, er, fire department commander, telling
me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and
I said, 'We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to
do is pull it.' And they made that decision to pull and we watched the
building collapse

He wanted to reduce his casualties, genius.




WTC 7, a 47 story steel framed building built in 1987, collapsed
completely, near freefall speed.


Nowhere near freefall. Calculate it yourself: d = 16t^2 where d =
distance (height) and t = time in seconds.


WTC 7 housed the Secret Service's LARGEST field office

Would the SS have an office in a building that could collapse like that?


All buildings can collapse, genius. Perhaps the rent was good.
