Firefighters Trade Journal Determines 9/11 WTC 7 Collapse Was ‘Explosive Demolition’

A groundbreaking study published in Fire and Safety Journal Americas has concluded that the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC 7) on 9/11 was not the result of office fires as claimed by federal investigators, but rather a deliberate “explosive demolition.”

Authored by veteran firefighters Captain Raul Angulo and Paul Kayley, the report published on March 19, 2025, systematically dismantles the government’s explanation, raising chilling questions about what really happened that fateful day—and who might be behind it.

WTC 7, a 47-story steel-framed high-rise, collapsed symmetrically into its own footprint at freefall speed at 5:20 pm on 9/11, despite never being struck by an aircraft. Official reports from FEMA (2002) and NIST (2008) attributed the collapse to office fires burning for seven hours. However, Angulo and Kayley argue this defies decades of evidence about high-rise fire behavior.

“No modern Type-1 fire-protected high-rise has ever completely collapsed due to fire,” they assert, citing examples like the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in London, which burned for 19 hours yet remained standing.

The authors point to WTC 7’s robust construction—fully sprinklered, with 3-hour-rated columns and 2-hour-rated beams—far exceeding requirements for fire resistance. Office fuel loads, they note, typically burn out in 20-45 minutes, incapable of sustaining the 1,300°F+ temperatures needed to weaken steel for over 30 minutes.

NIST’s claim of “fire-induced progressive collapse” is dismissed as unprecedented and scientifically implausible, clashing with real-world cases like the 1988 First Interstate fire in Los Angeles, where an 8-hour blaze caused no structural failure.

Most damning is the freefall collapse itself. Video analysis shows WTC 7 dropping at gravitational acceleration for 2.5 seconds across its 328-foot width, a hallmark of controlled demolition where all support columns are simultaneously removed.

“Sudden transition to freefall rules out progressive collapse by fire,” the authors state, noting that pancaking floors would slow descent with visible jolts—none of which occurred. NIST’s theory of thermal expansion buckling columns is criticized as a fabricated “house of cards” scenario, unsupported by physics or precedent.

Angulo and Kayley, with 63 years of combined firefighting experience, suggest this evidence has been suppressed, fueling distrust among firefighters worldwide. Was 9/11 a false flag operation? Their findings demand answers—and a reckoning with the shadowy forces that orchestrated it.

The truth, it seems, is finally burning through the lies.
