I am as skeptical of the events surrounding WTC7 as anyone. However, using the video linked below, when I use a stop watch and time from when the beginning of the collapse to when the building is no longer visible (NOTE: no longer visible between the buildings.) I get about 5.4 seconds. I cannot tell how many floors I am seeing are in the video, but perhaps this is the origins of the 5.4 seconds. video... youtube[DOT]com/watch?v=4k6GMd­dY-lQ

They didnt fall evenly. When 7 collapsed it smacked onto neighboring structures that were not close to the proximity of the building 7.

Yes, there was freefall speed for at least 5 floors. Also, I agree that the fires are more numerous and severe than many truthers admit, but in your own post you acknowledge they are uneven, concentrated in different parts of the building than what truthers show. So, then, how did it fall so evenly? How did it fall as if the steel was "weakened" evenly? What caused the uniformity of the collapse?

*Videos showed North East and West of the "few fires"

[godzilla1077]

That's what it was. I was going by memory.

The catalyst for that fall was the debris from Tower One. not to mention the lack of water pressure that could've helped the Fire Department put the fire out.

That was actually bought by Marriott in 1995, but you're right. In fact it was hit by both towers.

Hilton hotel as well.

There was no free fall speed, and it didnt fall on it's own footprint. The supposed "few fires" are video tapes of the north, west and south end of 7. If the fires started at the south end and actually made its way north in a huge structure, how in the world is that just a "few fires" as many truthers have said.

"Also do u even know how far wtc7 was from the twin towers??? 2 city blocks."

Not that far when you're in the shadow of the twin towers.

"It's wierd how only world trade centres collapsed that day."

It's also not true, since the historic St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church was crushed by it, and the World Financial Center was and Deutsche Bank Building were severely damaged, and BMCC's Fiterman Hall was so badly damage it had to be torn down...
