No Plane Struck Building 7 |
||||
The original WTC 7 was 47 stories tall, clad in red exterior masonry, and occupied a trapezoidal footprint. The building opened in 1987. In 1988, Salomon Brothers signed a long-term lease, and became the main tenants of the building. Only after the building’s destruction on September 11 did the presence of secret C.I.A. offices in the building become known. In a NY Times article by James Risen published1 November 4, 2001, it stated, "The agency's New York station was behind the false front of another federal organization, which intelligence officials requested that The Times not identify. The station was, among other things, a base of operations to spy on and recruit foreign diplomats stationed at the United Nations, while debriefing selected American business executives and others willing to talk to the C.I.A. after returning from overseas." Other federal agencies with offices in Building 7 were the Department of Defense, Internal Revenue Service, Secret Service, and Security and Exchange Commission. New York City’s Mayor Giuliani had his Office of Emergency Management on the 23rd floor. |

World Trade Center 7 |
|||||
No plane struck Building 7. This does not imply that, had a plane struck the building, it would have collapsed straight down as it did. The fact that no plane struck Building 7 makes it a cleaner violation. With no plane there is no confusion. Defenders of the Official Story have more of an obligation to explain fully the anomalous destruction of this 47-story building. The building is referred to in several ways: 7 World Trade Center, World Trade Center 7, WTC 7, and Building 7. |
