On 9/11, WTC 7 was brought down by a controlled demolition.

1. Any reference to the NIST report during this debate should be discarded and considered as "not credible" by the audience. Please review the following evidence and video footage to understand why. http://video.google.com... "……I haven't seen any evidence of molten steel, at the towers…." NIST Engineer, John Goss – Denies the existence of Molten Steel 2. NIST's analysis of WTC 7 The fact that the government investigation after 7 years has failed to provide a complete investigation of WTC 7 is very telling at the least. The building in which was arguably the most unlikely to collapse, (never struck by a plane) in fact collapsed. We know that the leaseholder Silverstein gave the order to "pull it" meaning, demo the building on 9/11. Many of the indications of foreknowledge of the attack have yet to be addressed by any official government report. For example, the 9/11 Commission Report, which describes the Commission as "chartered to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, including preparedness for and the immediate response to the attacks" fails to mention that the World Trade Center was leased to a private company for the first time in its history six weeks before the attack, and that security was handled by a company linked to the Bush family. 3. Silverstein gave the order to "pull it" that's demolition speak for blowing up a building. "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." Larry Silverstein, on 9/11 How long does it take for a building to be prepped for demolition? Hours? Days? Weeks? How could the building have been demolished minutes after the order is given without intense and time consuming preparation? 4. Silverstein insured the WTC complex for a double terrorist attack 6 weeks before 9/11 "It is inconceivable that anyone could be running around placing explosives in exactly the right places all within seven hours. In fact, implosions take a minimum of two weeks and up to two months to plan and place the charges. The fire department of New York does not even train their personnel to do controlled demolition. They are done by highly skilled experienced specialists who plan and test far ahead."17 http://www.wtc7.net... 5. Eyewitness Accounts are damning evidence http://www.prisonplanet.com... First responders heard the countdown to building 7's collapse and ultimate destruction. http://video.google.com... The ultimate problem my opponent has in proving that WTC was not a controlled demolition is that he can't try and use jet fuel as the culprit here. In previous debates he has tried to say that towers 1 and 2 came down due to jet fuel, fire etc. Building 7 was never struck by a place, no jet fuel. There were isolated fires, as you can see the building in Madrid made out of the same material, burned for over 24 hours and never collapsed. http://911research.wtc7.net... Yet this building collapsed in 7 seconds. With no reason or explanation to this day my opponents main evidence the NIST. After 7 years, no report. Sounds very questionable at the least. I leave it to my opponent to prove that there was in fact other factors that could have caused building 7 to collapse other than a controlled demolition. There is no physical proof that a building made of steel and concrete has ever collapsed due to fire alone. Therefore the onus is on him to prove to the audience that this is not the case. That this was the first time in history a building has collapsed because of a few isolated fires. That when silverstein said "pull it", he meant something else. I encourage the audience to vote for pro on the resolution. Stand for truth and not deception. Thank you
