If WTC Buildings 1 & 2 were designed to withstand multiple hits from 757's why did Building 7 blow up?

Both the towers were designed to withstand multiple hits from commercial 757's...so why did WTC building 7 that wasn't even close to these two buildings blow up into a fine pile of dust? Not even the FBI or Official Story could come up with a logical explanation to why Building 7 imploded in on itself. What's up?

1. those demolition guys are pros...
2. I thought it was imploded with a controlled explosion because of damaged it received?
3. Who the hell told you that? They didn't know that was going to happen. They WERE NOT designed to take multiple hits from 747s. The WTC was built in 1966. 747s were not made untill 1970. So, even if they did plan for them to be hit. How did they design them for something that hadn't even been invented yet? Is your real name Rosie O'donnel by any chance? http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=911_morons
4. Bulls**t! The Boeing 757 was not on the drawing board when the World Trade Center was designed. The towers were designed for the impact of a Boeing 707. Get your facts straight.
5. A correction is in order. The buildings were not designed to withstand the 757 since it wasn't even in production at the time. However, they WERE designed to withstand multiple 727 strikes. As for building 7??? Still no real explination there from te Gov. but consiprac theorists do have lots of ideas.
6. They were built by union labor. Probably cut a lot of corners to save money to line their pockets and that of the DNC. Kind of like the "Big Dig" project that now has to be redone in Boston... Union labor = Big money, low quality.
7. If you would take the time to watch the History channel and the discovery channel, that issue has been covered many times already. When the towers came down, the pressure wave caused the collapse. What do you think does the trick of sinking subs when you drop a depth charge??? You don't have to hit the sub, just get in the neighborhood and the pressure wave does the work. Don't believe all the crap you read and hear on some of the blogs. If you watch how the people who implode buildings do their job, you will see real quick it cant be don't without everyone knowing it. Also, even though the WTC was "suppose" to be able to stand a 757 strike, it was engineers who "guessed" that it could. But as we saw, an airplane full of fuel can bring anything down.
8. Easy answer. Bush did it with his magical powers. You know, the same powers he used when he created hurrican katrina and used it to try to wipe out black population of america. that darn bush, for an uneducated monkey man, her sure does have a lot of power!
9. Enough the BS conspiracy theories. I'm sorry that you hate your country so much. It must be so awful to live in a Nation that lets you speak your mind, practice your own religion, and move freely without papers. It must be so hard for you to choose what to watch on TV without the government telling you what you can watch, or to have clean running water in your home. Since you hate this nation so much, that you thin we would kill our own people, maybe you should consider moving elsewhere. I'll help you pack. And don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya! 10 years USMC I fought to protect the freedoms that YOU take for granted I shed blood for my country What have you done other than complain?
10. Building 7 did not explode. You need to listen to people who know what they are talking about instead of a bunch of clueless conspiracy theorists.
11. Building 7 held a government bunker and alot of governmnet storage, No matter what happened to it, the fact that terrorist highjacked air planes and killed thousands is still there. If you had secret governent buildings, that perhaps had secret labs and storage of high risk material, and that buidling lost all power plus lost all back up generators and the required temperture control could not be maintained, And perhaps this building was already wired to destroy it in such a case ???? And the government will not and will never tell you or anyone that it did. But in the end, it was the damage caused by the terror attack that caused it all to happen.
12. Great big buildings collapse around smaller building. Lots of energy released. Diesel fuel burns. Small building fall down. If I had a crayon I would illustrate it for you. /s/ BobH
13. Who said the buildings were designed to withstand multiple hits from 757's? That's complete garbage. The designers built WTC 1 & 2 to withstand an impact from a 707 (a common, smaller, aircraft of the time) flying slow, possibly lost in the fog passing over the city because the WTC towers would rise to an unprecedented height over New York City. The aircraft in mind would have been flying slow at that low altitude and would have been much smaller then a 767 or 757. The attackers used 767's that were heavily loaded with fuel for a transcontinental flight flying much, much faster than the impact speed the buildings were designed to withstand. Building 7 did not "implode on itself". Tower 1 & 2 collapsed with terrific force weakening building 7 and its foundation. As the whole site burnt for hours and hours the building could no longer hold itself up and collapsed.
14. Someone like you is the problem with the world. Running your mouth, repeating things and not having your facts straight. Just listen to some idiot and start spreading it, like its the gospel. Then another idiot comes along and believes it. People like you will be the ruination of America. Have your facts straight before you run your mouth.
15. WTC 7 did not blow up it collapsed. When WTC 1 and 2 fell it weakend the earth beneath it. The WTC complex is built on soil heavily saturated with water from the Hudson River. I forget off hand which collapsed first 1 or 2. In any case when the first tower collapsed it weakend the earth beneath which caused the next tower to collapse. This collaspse then weakend the earth to an extent that WTC 7 crumbled.
16. Well, the Romulans teamed up with the Feringi and they used the death ray.... It was all a Romulan conspiracy..they are going to take over the world, starting with us. They will ship us all to the outer quadrant to work in the dilithium mines.
17. The Boeing 707 was state of the art when the WTC was designed. The 747 was nothing more than a concept. However, at the time the WTC was built Japanese Godzilla movies were all the rage. Maybe it was designed to be Godzilla proof. Best of luck.
18. DAMN
19. 7WTC took a lot of damage from the collapse of 1 and 2 WTC as did every other building in the vicinity, the debris from the twin towers caused a fire in 7WTC by rupturing a diesel tank used by the building's boilers, the fire then weakened the structure of the building hence the collapse. BTW the new 7WTC looks really nice.
20. Does anyone know why the government wont release the video's from the gas station and the hotel room that caught the pentagon being hit by a plane? When they release those videos, I'll believe it wasnt a conspiracy.
