WTC7 -- This is an Orange (mirror)

Video Transcript:

This is an orange. If you were told it was something else, you wouldn't believe it would you. This is called visual identification based on experience. This building is about to be destroyed in what is called a controlled demolition. Buildings do not do this spontaneously. Here is another example of a controlled demolition. The initial charges are spaced about one second apart. And you can see that each section begins falling separately. Successful demolitions require that all structural support columns collapse at virtually the same time. If they don't or if something else goes wrong, the result will look something like this. This is World Trade Center 7 just before it collapsed on September 11th, 2001. It had not been hit by an aircraft. It had been damaged by falling debris and fire. But by 5.20pm most of the fires have been extinguished. Although the building was 47 stories high, it doesn't fall sideways, nor collapse unevenly. For this to have happened, all of the building's vertical supports must have given way at almost exactly the same time. Yet the Federal Emergency Management Agency reported that the collapse was due primarily to fire. But what does it look like to you? As at July 2007, there is no final report on the collapse of World Trade Center 7. But the National Institute of Standards and Technology still rules out a controlled demolition. So the question is, do you believe what you can see with your own eyes? Or do you believe what you are told? The National Institute of Standards and Technology has been in the process of building a new building.
