But even that, considering the blazes shown in those pictures, I can't say would prove to be a catalyst that would cause those buildings to burn for so long and not fall, when WTC burned for such a shorter time. I also find it hard to believe that - with controlled demo taking as much planning as it usually does - a single faulty column (outer damage be damned, this is what the report says happened) caused such a uniformed, near-free-fall collapse of WTC7. Not saying it didn't happen. Not saying it couldn't happen. I'm simply skeptical.
Well, I'll take all of that as it is, but the collapse was, again, not uniform, nor was it a free-fall.
