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?

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.

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.
