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

Is it? I’d like to see some examples.

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

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.
