What Does a Building "Engulfed" in Fire Look Like?

Here is a building engulfed in fire.



And here is a building covered in dust and smoke due to negative air pressure.



Now, which one looks more like WTC7 on 9/11?

Footage that kills the conspiracy theories?

According to dailymail.co.uk and Pat Curly of Screw Loose Change apparently. Some new footage of Building 7 has been released and according to the dailymail article it proves "once and for all that Building 7 was brought down by the intense heat of the blazing World Trade Center - and not explosives, as conspiracy theorists claim." Let's take at look at this for ourselves before taking this article's word for it.

The article contains several stills from the video that apparently show "raging fires" on several of the lower floors.






These sorts of images are actually nothing new, and certainly don't show any fires that were not previously known to the Truth Movement. Although there were undoubtedly fires in the building, it's quite a stretch to say this footage shows the building "consumed by fire."

As we have previously noted on this blog, the appearance of the building being totally engulfed in flames seems to have been caused by smoke from the burning WTC complex clinging to the side of Building 7.

As for the fires being intense on the lower floors, it has been demonstrated that the fires on the floors which supposedly initiated the collapse were apparently burned out before the time of collapse.

So does this new footage "prove once and for all that Building 7 was brought down by the intense heat?" Hardly. The burden of proof is on the debunkers and any other defenders of the official story to provide evidence that the fires were truly as severe as they claim. Even NIST has acknowledged that the fires in Building 7 were nothing special compared to other skyscraper fires that did not cause collapse.

“There are more similarities than differences between the uncontrolled fires that burned in WTC 7 and those that occurred in the following buildings: First Interstate Bank Building (1988), One Meridian Plaza Building (1981), One New York Plaza (1970), and WTC 5 (2001).” -NIST WTC7 FAQ

“NIST therefore concluded that the fires in First Interstate Bank and One Meridian Plaza were at least as severe, and probably more severe, than the fires in WTC 7.” -NIST Final Report on Building 7, pg. 341

On Monday, July 20, 2009, Baltimore GrassRoots Media followed Richard Gage, AIA, founder of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, on the final day of his visit to Washington, D.C.

The final stop was the White House where Gage, with David Slesinger, laid an AE911Truth banner on the sidewalk and addressed the tourists gathered there. Gage got into a heated but cordial debate with a man who identified himself as Kevin, a "reformed truther" and the former "debunking director" on the JREF Forum.

Even NIST now admits that, "the damage from the debris from WTC 1 had little effect on initiating the collapse."

"Of course the diesel fuel for WTC 7's emergency generators was something that seemed to have some promise, but no. They state that, the diesel fuel "played no role in the destruction of WTC 7," and that it was "the first known instance of fire causing the total collapse of a tall building," and that they were "similar to fires experienced in other tall buildings." - Source: http://911debunkers.blogspot.com/2008/08/my-demolition-company.html

Remember the BBC WTC7 hitpiece? Remember when Richard Gage attempted to explain the large amount of smoke around the south side of Building 7 by saying it was negative pressure - which he has been thoroughly mocked for? Well it's not as ridiculous as it sounds. Click here to see why...

"Pulling" Building 7 - An Overlooked Explanation

"I am well aware of Mr. Silverstein's statement, but to the best of my recollection, I did not speak to him on that day and I do not recall anyone telling me that they did either. That doesn't mean he could not have spoken to someone from FDNY, it just means that I am not aware of it." - FDNY Chief of Operations Daniel Nigro (fire department commander) on 9/11

Of course this is all besides the point since the explosives have been found!
