7 WTC was struck by the remains of 1 WTC when it came down. I watched it happen. This damaged the structure and also set it on fire.
When a highly-stressed steel structure burns for 8 hours, it weakens. Eventually, gravity wins. No conspiracy required.

The point of the video is that heat causes metal to lose strength. It does not matter what is burning to cause the heat, just that it will weaken metal. WTC 7 was on fire for HOURS before it fell. Plenty of time for the metal to heat up and weaken, then collapse.

I'm not a structural engineer, nor am I a demolition expert however the structural engineers, architects, demolition experts, scientists, core engineers etc have done simulations on the entire thing. They say it was controlled demolition. Watch the video for more information if you want. Matter of fact all the evidence collected points it to it being an inside job. The fact that NIST conveniently ignored evidence like testing for explosives and thermite is just another nail in the coffin. Fact is that there was a a molten pool of iron at ground zero in a closed area. The official report said that steel melted in the basement was due to a boiler explosion. You know how steel melts in a closed off area with no oxygen? Thermite.

Have you ever worked for a gov't agency? They are inefficient, wasteful and cost way more than anything in the private sector.
Do you really think that some gov't agency could pull off something so complex without huge cost overruns and leaks?

If you actually care to see evidence. If you already have made up your mind, then don't click.

watched... still looking for evidence.
