I had to actually go back & check (highly possible that I got confused and
started making up crap!), but WTC-7 was the 47 storey building, collapsed in
6.6 seconds.

The same criticism laid against WTC-7 also applied to the twin towers,
namely the they had explosives in them.  (That's even accounting for planes
smacking into them.)  After all, they fell down so nice & neatly.

There were a few other small buildings damaged or fell down, but I'm too
lazy to go & find out.

I'm not too sure how long WTC-7 burned for before it collapsed (I think 7
hours), but it was quite a while after the main two did.

Imagine making up stuff in a conspiracy thread!  :)

The building I'm in has about 40 floors, I ask them about torching it.
