What really collapsed Building 7?
On Monday, GFP asked for the second time the Sep11th Commissioners,
if they already looked into the Collapse of Building 7.
Tom Kean said, we should send him new information about it.
At Round 6, GFP asked also about all 10-12 Terror Scenarios between 2000 and September 2001, which speaks clearly against the official "incompetence theory".

It is also well documented, that the FBI worked with at least 5 Informants and that the CIA had two cell phone numbers of the "hijackers", which were on a watch list.
This week Howard Dean implied this week, they "knew".
At the Press Conference of this week's 9/11 Commission, GFP showed also the photos of one exercise with a miniature pentagon and asked for an explanation, why this wasn't revealed to the public.
Lee Hamilton, member of the commission, promised to look into it. C|Span showed the questions live, but censored it later on their website. They already did that last time with our questions about WTC 7*.
Who told them to censor these questions? What does the U.S. Government have to hide and why did NIST ignores an investigation of WTC 7, which was a military building since October 2000 (Blackstone/TRW -Mortgage, CIA and Dod -23rd floor) ?
The Footage of WTC 7 was shot by INN on Sep11th, 2001, but never shown before. The original tapes do not include the collapse.
Counterspin? -What did Silverstein know?

Silverstein, FDNY Razed WTC 7
Serendipity

In a stunning and belated development concerning the attacks of 9/11 Larry Silverstein, the controller of the destroyed WTC complex, stated plainly in a PBS documentary that he and the FDNY decided jointly to demolish the Solomon Bros. building, or WTC 7, late in the afternoon of Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001.
This admission appeared in a PBS documentary originally aired in Sept. of 2002 entitled "Rebuilding America, A Year at Ground Zero". Mr Silverstein's comments came after FEMA and the Society of Civil Engineers conducted an extensive and costly investigation into the curious collapse of WTC 7. The study specifically concluded that the building had collapsed as a result of the inferno within, sparked, apparently, by debris falling from the crumbling North Tower.
In the documentary Silverstein makes the following statement;
"...I remember getting a call from the fire department commander telling me they were not sure they were going to be able to contain the fire...and I said, 'Well, you know, we've had such terrible loss of life...maybe the smartest thing to do is, is 'pull' it...and they made that decision to 'pull'...uh, and we watched the building collapse."
Mr. Silversteins comments stand in direct contradiction to the findings of the extensive FEMA report. They even negate Kevin Spacey's narrative in the very documentary in which they appear; "WTC 7 fell after burning for 7 hours." If it had been generally known that the building was "pulled" wouldn't Mr. Spacey have phrased it that way?
In the same program a cleanup worker referred to the demolition of WTC 6; "...well, we're getting ready to "pull" building six." There can be little doubt as to how the word "pull" is being used in this context.
This shocking contradiction is yet another curious twist in a disturbing series of events surrounding the "collapse" of WTC 7, and the WTC complex in general.
Among these is the fact that, in all the history of high-rise fires, not one has ever resultedin a collapse. On 9/11 three such anomalies occurred. Those who argue that the towers were vulnerable in their top-heavyness and verticality cannot then explain the collapse due to fire of WTC 7, a broad based, 47 story steel-framed building.
There is also the fact that most of the structures destroyed by falling debris were directly under the twin towers, and none of them caught fire. WTC 7 was not only a full city block away from Tower 1 but WTC 6 stood directly between the two buildings and certainly absorbed most of the damage.
In addition, WTC 7 suffered a strangely thorough and complete collapse, leaving only a leveled lot where it once stood. Although it was a much smaller structure, WTC 6's 8 story carcass stood for months afterwards, even after being gutted by Tower 1.
There's also disturbing correlations between the collapse of WTC 7 and the bombing of the Murrah building in OK City.Both buildings were constructed using the same bridge beam system that, in WTC 7's case, allegedly contributed to its demise. But more importantly WTC 7, like the Murrah building, housed high-level government offices including the FBI, CIA and the Secret Service. WTC 7 was also the storage facility for millions of files pertaining to active cases involving international drug dealing, organized crime, terrorism and money laundering.
WTC 6, also known as the Customs House building, housed the Dept.'s of Commerce, Agriculture and Labor and yet another Murrah building tennant, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
WTC 7 was also the location of a kind of a doomsday bunker, (a $15 million project of Rudy Giuliani's) a command post from which to operate in case of a total infrastructure breakdown. Building 7 had apparently been bullet proofed and reinforced to withstand hurricane force winds and attacks of all kinds, a fact which makes it's fatal vulnerability to falling debris all the more puzzling.
Mr. Silverstein's comments imply that he and the FDNY threw together an expert demolition job in the space of a few short hours on the afternoon of 9/11. This revelation is staggering enough considering its blatant contradiction to what has been, all along, the official cause of the "collapse." But the fact that the building was buried under tons of debris and consumed in flames at the time makes his comments all the more baffling.
There's a compelling theory that bombs had been planted inside the twin towers designed to complete the job the hijacked jets had begun. Even a handful of seasoned professional firefighters and demolition men have commented on how neatly and evenly the tower's had collapsed. Mr. Silversteins bewildering statements in "America Rebuilds..." give an exponential boost in creedance to this claim and, in a more terrifying light, loan credibility to growing suspicions that the attacks of 9/11 may have been an inside job.

Last week, the official explanation of the "collapse" was still blamed on the attack
Rebuilding of 7 World Trade Center on Schedule
Insurance Journal -December 12, 2003
As workers raised a steel beam to the 11th floor of number 7 World Trade Center, New Yorkers could celebrate some palpable progress in the rebuilding of the site devastated by the attacks of Sept. 11.
Number 7, a 52 story office building, which, among other offices and a Con Ed power station, housed the New York offices of the Securities and Exchange Commission's legal investigators, was the last structure to collapse on Sept. 11, several hours after the twin towers fell.
Larry Silverstein, head of Silverstein Properties, the WTC's master leaseholder, had also leased the building at N° 7 for several years before acquiring the overall lease in July 2001.
The steel beam will eventually form part of an entrance to the reconstructed complex. According to a report from Reuters, Silverstein said his goal in the rebuilding of N° 7 was not only to "provide a spectacular gateway," but also to serve as a symbol of the reconstruction of lower Manhattan.
