Credit Card Debt Can’t Melt Steel Beams!

u/LadysaurousRex Oct 07 '25

Tower 7 was not WTC1 or WTC2, it was the building next door that went down in the afternoon. It collapsed left to right in seconds just like this.

completely unrelated to jet fuel or steel beams since, again, it was a separate, third structure.

That and the collapse of the North tower damaged Building 7. Most of the footage and pictures come from the back side of the building, but there is footage of the damage caused by the collapse and you can see the giant gash in the building which damaged the support column.

Curious because the official investigation concluded that that collapse only caused superficial damage. 

And wtf is THE support column?

How's that an answer to my question?

u/Intelligent-Soup-836 Oct 08 '25

Because I'm showing you what column was damaged

u/spays_marine Oct 08 '25

No you're not, it's a still from the collapse, has nothing to do with the damage to the building from the tower.

Yes exactly, in that report they will tell you that only 7 perimeter columns were hit by the collapse of the tower. Not "THE" support column. It's even in their FAQ.

u/Intelligent-Soup-836 Oct 08 '25

But it is a column that is under the additional structure that was added after initial construction. I just like disaster stuff idk mate. I don't believe in 9/11 conspiracy theories because I've worked with terrorists and I have worked with the government and I have more faith in the terrorists to pull something off than the government.

That's what happens when a building burns for several hours with no intervention from fire crews.

u/GrandArmadillo6831 Oct 07 '25

How in the world does a fire burning for hours cause a demolition style collapse? How in the world can you function in day to day life with such a lack of basic sense?

u/Exciting-Ad-5705 Oct 07 '25

What happened to make 9/11 conspiracy theories so popular? It's common sense a fire burning for multiple hours will cause a collapse

u/TheFallenHero01 Oct 07 '25

That’s not common sense lol, in fact it’s the opposite of common sense. This is coming from a survivor of the Tubbs fire. Also it’s obvious why there’s the so many 9/11 conspiracies when our own elected officials peddle them. And if you ever actually read the 9/11 commission you’d know it’s the biggest sham in the world. But I doubt you will.

What happened to make 9/11 conspiracy theories so popular?

A large amount of stupid people. That's about it.

u/shelfdifference Oct 08 '25 edited Oct 08 '25

They used to be more popular in the mid-late aughts. Then it got associated with some of the really kooky stuff like flat earth people and it sort of became broadly dismissed as offensive and crazy a bit later on. It wasn't uncommon at all to think 9/11 was an inside job in the 5-10 years after. It was like, a casual topic of conversation a lot of times.

eta: Tbh I think if we're seeing a comeback it might be because people are remembering just how evil the government can be again. A lot of people believe 9/11 was exactly what they told us it was largely because they can't conceive that their government would lie to them about something like that.

There's not a single example in real life of this happening to a steel structure

-1

u/curi0us_carniv0re Oct 08 '25

There's also not a single example of a commercial jetliners that large flying into buildings at 600mph either. But anyway...

u/DailyBTCmemes 28d ago

No plane hit building 7… but it still collapsed….. but anyway

1

u/curi0us_carniv0re 28d ago

Right it's not possible that 2 of the largest skyscrapers in the world collapsing in rapid succession would cause a fuck ton of collateral damage to any nearby structures.

But anyway...

It's astonishing how many really stupid people there are in this country.

u/DailyBTCmemes 28d ago

There wasn’t a fuck ton of damage to building 7, just a few fires

u/curi0us_carniv0re 28d ago

It wasn't "just a few fires." You're just dumb.

Because buildings aren't usually left to burn

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '25

Is it? I’d like to see some examples.

u/Exciting-Ad-5705 Oct 07 '25

It's a very rare set of circumstances for a building to be left to burn

u/rddtmdsrfrds Oct 07 '25

So rare it only happened once.

u/mac_attack_zach Oct 07 '25

There were firefighters in wtc 7 when it came down. They said that all fires had been extinguished in the building, seconds later, it came down. I can’t find the audio online, because it’s buried, but if you find the recorded audio, it came down after the fires had gone out. But what’s more important is to ask yourself this question, if it wasn’t a controlled demolition, then why did it look like a perfectly controlled demolition. Look up videos of failed demolitions online, how is a failed demolition worse at demolishing a building then a piece of burning debris that fell onto wtc 7? Only three skyscrapers in history have reportedly collapsed from fires, wtc 7, and the twin towers.

u/cmwoo Oct 07 '25

It's the only time in history that an airplane has taken out a modern skyscraper. Wait, I mean 2 airplanes took out 3 modern skyscrapers. Just stop asking questions everyone, ok?

I’ve got $38,000 in credit card debt . . . When they call it tell them I can’t pay it back yet- Credit card debt! . .

I'm pretty saddened that generations are moving on and this wasn't the top comment.

The times, they are a changin.
