What caused the World Trade Center’s Tower 7 to collapse? Shocking new 9/11 report insists fire DID NOT bring it down
Bombshell claims from experts will fuel long-standing ‘controlled explosion’ conspiracy theories
THE collapse of World Trade Centre Tower 7 next to New York's Twin Towers is said to have been caused by fires that broke out on multiple floors during the 9/11 terror attacks.
According to the official version of events, flaming debris from the burning Twin Towers flew into the 47-floor skyscraper – sparking blazes all over the building.
The heat generated by the infernos brought the tower down, concluded the National Institute of Standards and Technology – making it the first and only steel skyscraper in the world to collapse because of fire.
But now a group of top engineers from the University of Alaska are adamant “office fires” could NOT have caused its destruction.
Presenting the team’s shock findings at the Justice In Focus Symposium in New York, leader Dr J Leroy Hulsey revealed: “It is our preliminary conclusions based upon our work to date that fire did not produce the failure at this particular building.”
Their verdict will certainly add fuel to conspiracy theories, with growing numbers of people claiming the World Trade Center buildings were brought to the ground by controlled demolition explosions.
Some have shockingly pointed the finger of blame at the US, claiming government heads plotted and executed the 9/11 atrocities to provide the grounds for military strikes in the Middle East.
Tower 7 collapsed after seven hours of burning.
A skyscraper in Philadelphia burned for 18 hours in 1991 and didn’t collapse, while a high-rise in Madrid in 2005 also remained standing following a blaze that ripped through the building.

Tower 7 housed some unusual tenants – including the Secret Service, the CIA, the Department of Defence and the Office of Emergency Management, which would coordinate any response to a disaster or a terrorist attack.
Despite the debris that flew through the windows and the blazes on multiple floors, there’s no evidence that anyone died in Tower 7 - located around 100 metres from the Twin Towers - on the day of the attacks.
