Someone sent me a link to a conspiracy theory page. At some point I got around to the standard World Trade Center, building 7 thing. Let me point out...nothing says conspiracy theory like having building 7 collapse. Of course, most of you probably misunderstood that. Let's just go over the basics real quick. So far as most Americans are concerned, buildings 1 and 2 were all there was to the world trade center. Most people probably didn't even know there was anything aside from the towers. Even if they did, the towers were the only remarkable part. Now, there's no problem for most people in seeing that a jumbo jet full of fuel can fuck up a building. Sure, there are people who mistakenly think steel shouldn't melt (and I'm looking at you Rosie)...I mean what, you think it stays at 100% of it's strength right up to the melting point and then suddenly turns to liquid? Steel gets weaker as it heats up.But back to the conspiracy thing...my point is this. With the collapse of buildings 1 and 2 you get essentially the same public outrage...and it's completely understandable that the buildings would collapse. But why would you blow up building 7? I mean really, cameras are going to be on it, it wasn't hit. The only thing you could possibly gain by having building 7 collapse, is scrutiny. It just makes things look suspicious.
