WI: Building 7 doesn't collapse

Note: This thread is not meant to either promote or debunk 9/11 conspiracy theories.

What if on September 11th, 2001, Building 7 had not collapsed?
 
The only people that really know that Building 7 collapsed are people who have researched 9/11 or conspiracy theorists who point to it and say "How did it collapse, it wasn't struck by an airplane or anything". I doubt that a lot of people know that building 7 collapsed, and they evacuated the building beforehand anyway. I don't think OTL deviates that much, if at all if derbies don't cause it to collapse

Conspiracy theorists incorporate facts to their theory, they don't make theory based on facts. Building 7 not collapsing makes no difference, as it is it's just another "see?" point, without it theories don't collapse since the remain same and Bulding 7 not collapsing doesn't go against them.
 
Honestly as said above it won't make a difference. Conspiracy theorists (especially 9/11 "truthers") basically cherry pick facts to suit whatever stupid idea they are peddling. So probably the same.

It would've been demolished. Probably by controlled implosion. It had too extensive damage to be salvaged.

No doubt this will be seized on by truthers as destruction of evidence.:rolleyes:


Basically the above. Conspiracy theory is a psychological not a historiographical (drop that word into ordinary conversation I dare you) phenomenon.

Just because you have not heard a conspiracy theory does not mean it is not out to get you :p
 
The new 7 World Trade Center is likely delayed by a year or two, but still finishes ahead of the rest of the World Trade Center site.

Some claim that WTC-7 suffered light damage from the collapse of the North Tower. Well, it became only the third steel framed building in history to suffer fire related catastrophic structural failure, after the Twin Towers themselves. Light damage or not, fire can destroy a building if not dealt with. In the case of WTC-7 there was essentially no damage control due to the failure of the fire suppression system and the focus on the Twin Towers. Resources are not going to be wasted putting out a fire at an evacuated building anyways under the circumstances.

It should be noted that the other four buildings of the World Trade Center Complex were also either destroyed or demolished following the attacks due to damage.
 
I thought WTC 7 also had a huge gash in its side some ten floors long from debris damage as well. Ten floors is about 100 feet for what its worth

But like someone said, the sprinkler system didn't activate because of

1) It was a manual system and everyone hauled their asses out as quickly as possible.

2) Very low water pressure anyway. Due to the damage around it.
