Experts come out of the woodwork and decide, "oh hey I have a counter-theory! Let me promote it and release a book!" It's exactly what happened with 9/11 everywhere. The government isn't competent enough to give each citizen decent health care, you think they're going to pull this shit off?
We're pretty awesome at destruction, do not doubt it.
We also use to be awesome at hiding shit.

You want to suggest I am dismissing experts, but you yourself can't reference any experts. How convincing.
We've all seen the videos. How the fuck would a damaged foundation cause the building to collapse from the top down?

Or that Building 7 can be explained in a Retardedly Large PDF. Which I am assuming has some facts in it, fuck if I am going to read it. I don't care, I don't find much logic, at least not strong enough to battle common sense, in any of the theories.
Iiiiiiii'mmmm juuuuuusssstttt assssskiiiinnnnggg queeeeesssstttttioooooonnnnnnssssssss (about graaaaaaaaaavvvvvvvitttttyyyyyyyyyyyy)
EDIT: Goddamnit, Thief.
Oh, Jesus Christ. You want some expert documentation about 7's collapse, Shooting? Let me help you...
TL;DR? Short version, courtesy of Wikipedia:

In November 2008, NIST released its final report on the causes of the collapse of 7 World Trade Center. This followed their August 21, 2008 draft report which included a period for public comments. In its investigation, NIST utilized ANSYS to model events leading up to collapse initiation and LS-DYNA models to simulate the global response to the initiating events. NIST determined that diesel fuel did not play an important role, nor did the structural damage from the collapse of the twin towers, nor did the transfer elements (trusses, girders, and cantilever overhangs). But the lack of water to fight the fire was an important factor. The fires burned out of control during the afternoon, causing floor beams near Column 79 to expand and push a key girder off its seat, triggering the floors to fail around column 79 on Floors 8 to 14. With a loss of lateral support across nine floors, Column 79 soon buckled – pulling the East penthouse and nearby columns down with it. With the buckling of these critical columns, the collapse then progressed east-to-west across the core, ultimately overloading the perimeter support, which buckled between Floors 7 and 17, causing the entire building above to fall downward as a single unit. The fires, fueled by office contents, along with the lack of water, were the key reasons for the collapse.
