| Inside the forgotten third World Trade building occupied by CIA that burned down on 9/11 |

| [NYT] In the annals of history, the vivid and horrifying images of the Twin Towers collapsing on that fateful Sept. 11, 2001, are etched into the collective memory of Americans. But amid the chaos and devastation of that day, there’s one building that often remains shrouded in obscurity, its significance relegated to the shadows — World Trade Center 7. On that same day, as the sun dipped below the horizon at 5:20 p.m., Building 7 crumbled to the ground. Astonishingly, this skyscraper had not been struck by an airplane, and fires raged on only a few of its floors. The reason behind its collapse has long been a subject of contention, with many questioning the official narrative. |

| #7 …occupied by the CIA that burned it down…. Funny, how all those columns failed simultaneously. |

| #6 I seem to recall photographs of numerous people described as Agency employees going through the rubble and paper litter around the build looking for classified material. They were all wearing EFFBEYE standard windbreakers and the notation was that the New York Station was clandestine so they had to pose as Bureau agents. |

| #5 I've also read it was because of the seismic result of the trade centers collapsing. |

| #4 A bunch of engineers from the Institute of Northern Engineering based out of the University of Alaska Fairbanks drafted/authored a White Paper that does not blame fire and concludes: The collapse of WTC 7 was a global failure involving the near-simultaneous failure of every column in the building. White Paper Here |

| #3 The contention is based on two different engineering theories. The NIST says the steel in the main supports weakened because of the fire. Other say that auxiliary columns failed and that was the main problem. |
