Do not be fooled by the innocent appearances. He is more dangerous than any terrorist from the Middle East!

Hey doc, did you ever find any evidence of another high rise collapsing as a result of fire??

Actually, Big Mike, I do believe that every high rise tower has collapsed as a result of fire after a giant airliner has crashed into it!

Not only that, but every all-steel high rise tower that a jetliner has crashed into has collaped.
And of course, we know that if it hasn't ever happened in history, it can't possibly happen.
Actually, I do believe the early Egyptians were building all steel highrise buildings, but they had a few collapse from fire and switched to pyramids.

And, what about building 7, Dr. F?
The principle is often incorrectly summarized as "other things being equal, a simpler explanation is better than a more complex one." In practice, the application of the principle often shifts the burden of proof in a discussion.[a] The razor states that one should proceed to simpler theories until simplicity can be traded for greater explanatory power. The simplest available theory need not be most accurate. Philosophers point out also that the exact meaning of simplest may be nuanced. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor

On Bldg. 7? What impact.
It fell perfectly into its footprint just like the other 2.

Er, um, a 110 story collapsing tower?
And no, none collapsed perfectly into their own footprint. Otherwise, how could WTC 1 damage WTC 7 so significantly, taking out 10 stories of one of it's corners.
Even WTC 7 collapse damaged a nearby building so significantly it was abandoned and slated for removal.

F i was just trollin a bit. I don't know what really happened but I do know it looks fishy and have a hard time believing that 1700+ plus engineers have been completely duped by their "leader"
That hamster post was super funny...

There may have been some broken windows and other minor damage, but #7 did not take thak kind of a hit. Not enough to make it colapse the way it did. There's plenty of video out there of it.
No large buildings outside of the two turquoise zones in the map to the right suffered more than superficial damage

LOL, mssing 10 floors of one corner is minor damage.
Glad you guys don't design high rise buildings.
