The Great Thermite Debate...

30. The NIST says BLDG 7 was brought down by fires

....fires that were ignited by the falling debris of Tower 1. Bldg 7 was not struck by any aircraft. The idea that a few random, isolated fires is somehow sufficient to cause the building to collapse straight-down in exactly the manner of a standard CD seems quite absurd.

Going back to my previous post because the same idea applies.
But especially applies in regard to Building 7 since it was not hit by any aircraft:

-----------------
4. For the remotest chance of bringing down a steel building with fire, the structural steel of the ENTIRE building would have to be exposed to the flames not just on a few random floors. The entire building would have to be engulfed in flames for days if not weeks.

The official explanations of WTC 7's collapse are problematic for several reasons:

* Fire has never caused any steel-framed high-rise building to collapse in any manner, let alone with the vertical precision of Building 7's destruction. 1 Other steel-framed skyscrapers have experienced far more serious fires than Building 7.

* WTC 7 fell straight down, which necessitated that all of the load-bearing columns be broken at the same moment. Inflicting such damage with the precision required to prevent a building from toppling and damaging adjacent buildings is what the science of controlled demolition is all about. No random events, such as the debris damage and fires envisioned by the official reports, or explosions from fuel tanks proposed by some, could be expected to result in such a tidy and complete collapse.

* WTC 7 fell precipitously, at a rate closely approaching the speed of gravitational free-fall. That necessitated the sudden removal of structure near ground level that would have impeded its descent.

* The collapse of WTC 7 exhibited all of the features of a standard controlled demolition. To suppose that a cause other than controlled demolition could produce an event with all of the features uniquely characteristic of controlled demolition defies logic.
