Did a pair of <3.5 quakes knock down WTC7?

Here's a much reduced photo.

I have a 5x times bigger one.

That's one hell of a coincidence.

Unless the terrorists were also using earthquake weapons.

I think by 2010 we'll be able to have people arguing for aliens bringing down the towers through the use of gravitonic beams.

I'm so thrilled I get to see one of these develop. It's been fascinating.

That is a very interesting photo. Weird seeing a neighborhood I know so well from above (My high school is the one of the buildings in the photo next to the white bridge accross the highway shown, near the riverside park, and the office building I work at also shown).

I'm thrilled that people are adding earthquakes to the mixture of things that occurred in NYC on 9-11. The Oliver Stone movie should be more exciting and convoluted than JFK.

However... those poor buildings didn't stand a chance, what with the moslems, Dubya Bush, the neo-cons, the FBI, CIA, Israel, Allah, God, Saddam Hussein, Saudi Arabia, God, Halliburton (you just know they're involved!) and now Mother Earth all gunning for them that fateful September morn.

And the Jews, don't forget their involvement (even those outside of Israel). Remember that they were all tipped off about the attack and stayed home on 9/11.

Exactly! Never, never, EVER, forget about the Jews.

[JohnT]

I thought "Jews" would've been covered by "Israel". How about I change it to read "the Zionist Conspiracracy"?

[realpolitic]

Debris fell further away and did damage?

The 5th and 7th floor were compromised, IIRC the WTC was built for 160 mph winds quite a horizontal shear.

Way too many extremely improbable events happened on 9/11.

I'm dubious -- but I won't call this the smoking gun until that's resolved.

But I'm sure these people are funded by SaudiBurton, the secret holding company formed by the Aramco-Halliburton alliance, an unholy union of NeoCon and Moslem interests bent on subjugating the world to a capitalistic, theocratic dictatorship where they build their power base by controlling all the oil*. They apparently got the idea while reading Dune.

realpolitic have you seen the Loose Change documentary?

People clamor about this 'documentary', but in my view it lost all credibility when I learned that it tries to claim a Boeing didn't hit the Pentagon. That little claim was pretty conclusively demolished in a thread on Apolyton a few weeks back... so not going to waste 80 minutes on it.

Here's the seismic chart, taken in Palisades NY, 34 km N of the WTC:

A lot of its claims have been demolished in a lot of threads. You just haven't been paying attention.

I'm afraid JohnT, not being a seismologist myself, that graph means very little to me apart from an interesting novelty...care to explain?

[JohnT]

Not being a seismologist, just educated, I can explain. I'll keep the jargon down for ya.

That's a seismology chart. The squiggles along the line represent "vibrations". The red, blue, and black markings are "writing".

The "writing" correlates the "vibrations" with events at the WTC, about 20 miles away.

Note the lack of "vibrations" that do not correlate with events at the WTC - no aftershocks, no preceding earthquakes before or after the collapses, nothing at all except for "vibrations" that correlate with events at the towers.
