But we don't discuss such things on THIS enlightened forum.

No plane hit it either. I guess the Chinese have been doing
their research to find out how building 7 magically came down.
I wonder how you say "pull it" in Chinese.

Which subsequently collapsed under its own static load?
Naw, that wouldn't be any fun at all.
Let's just ignore all known physics and engineering principles, and jump to the wild-assed conclusion that it was intentionally demolished.
