Fine, I will come back to your post and answer your points one by one.

But to start with, how do you explain the collapse of Building 7?
Im no engineer but I wonder how much of it has to do with the force of the collapse of two skyscrapers nearby.

I know you'll say this is biased but I thought a Popular Mechanics site would be the closest engineering objective site to hand.

FIRE STORM: WTC 7 stands amid the rubble of the recently collapsed Twin Towers. Damaged by falling debris, the building then endures a fire that rages for hours. Experts say this combination, not a demolition-style implosion, led to the roofline “kink” that signals WTC 7’s progressive collapse. PHOTOGRAPH BY NEW YORK OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
