I can say confidently that the reason belief is widespread is that real investigative sites are difficult to spot amidst the noise of offhand mentions of WTC7 and the conspiracies. The reason for the collapse can't be proven absolutely but strongly indicates failure of particular vulnerable cantilever trusses deep inside the building.</p> | + | <p>I see a semi-regular appearance of the idea that the WTC7 building (part of the [[World Trade Center/NYC/v1|WTC complex]] but not one of the [[World Trade Center/NYC/v1/twin towers|Twin Towers]]) collapsed due to [[controlled demolition|deliberate demolition]] rather than due to damage from the Twin Tower collapses.

<p>Why do so many believe the conspiracy theories? To find out, google up "WTC 7 collapse". You get pages and pages of conspiracy theories, interspersed with discussions of the entire WTC attack in which WTC 7 appears. Buried on pages 2 and 3 (they were much further back when I first checked this out) you find two gems with real engineering analysis:</p> | <p>Why do so many believe the conspiracy theories?
