It takes generations, not just a decade, for some secrets to come out.
Again, I am not on-board with some nutcase conspiracy brigade.
I have some serious questions that have not been answered. Building 7, I am just not convinced that it was so materially compromised that it had to drop so beautifully. Not when a similar sized building in Madrid Spain was engulfed in flames for over 18 hours, nobody could figure out how to put that one out either.
So RSorak71Westy, how does a 47 story building, damaged along one facade, fall perfectly downward through its own greatest path of resistance at close to the speed of gravity?
When it comes to WTC "conspiracies", I do not spew reasons or fanciful series of coincidences, but you can be sure that people have been put to death in this country by some real law & order declarers of certitude prosecutors who utilize as much nutcase happenstance as the aforementioned WTC conspirators.

What do you think of it, as an official rebuttal to the Popular Mechanics article?

Colin,
Allow me to quote the Wiki on this:
"After the North Tower collapsed, some firefighters entered 7 World Trade Center to search the building. They attempted to extinguish small pockets of fire, but low water pressure hindered their efforts.[32] Fires burned into the afternoon on the 11th and 12th floors of 7 World Trade Center, the flames visible on the east side of the building.[33][34] During the afternoon, fire was also seen on floors 6–10, 13–14, 19–22, and 29–30.[29] In particular, the fires on floors 7 through 9 and 11 through 13 continued to burn out of control during the afternoon.[35] At approximately 2:00 pm, firefighters noticed a bulge in the southwest corner of 7 World Trade Center between the 10th and 13th floors, a sign that the building was unstable and might collapse.[36] During the afternoon, firefighters also heard creaking sounds coming from the building.[37] Around 3:30 pm FDNY Chief Daniel Nigro decided to halt rescue operations, surface removal, and searches along the surface of the debris near 7 World Trade Center and evacuate the area due to concerns for the safety of personnel.[38] At 5:20:33 pm EDT on September 11, 2001, 7 World Trade Center started to collapse, with the crumble of the east mechanical penthouse, while at 5:21:10 pm EDT the entire building collapsed completely.[1][39] There were no casualties associated with the collapse."
There are verifiable fire experts who were on-scene at the time. Do you really believe:
1. That a complete, controlled demolition setup for the entire building could have been in place without being observed by the firemen in the building?
2. That those same firemen would keep quiet about a possible conspiracy/inside job, after watching hundreds of their friends and co-workers die in the same conspiracy/inside job?
The collapse was an expected outcome ~ the building was evacuated, which shows they knew full well that the building was under extreme duress. I doubt there is
any threat that would keep the firemen quiet about such a conspiracy ~ too much anger, and too much lost in the heat of the moment. They would have talked if they'd seen anything worth noting.
There is no conspiracy, except the conspiracy in the minds of those who wish that there were, somewhere, answers to all that happened, happens, or will happen. Remember ~ in an infinite universe, there is no possibility, only certainty. It will happen somewhere, sometime. It must.
