Now that we know WTC was pulled down by cables rather than as the result of fire and debris from WTC 1 & 2, let’s have a serious discussion about why that was necessary. Was it the secret entry to the Bat Cave? ---

Everyone knows it was a secret MAN cave, not a Bat cave. That’s why the famous phrase ‘pull it!’ was used… -XT ---

Actually, it was a secret chicken cave and the infamous phrase was, in fact, “pullet”. ---

Pffft. It was Rasmussen’s secret headquarters and they were saying “Poll it!” ---

Was it the secret entry to the Bat Cave? It was just to distract attention from the transfer of the Bavarian Illuminati’s gold and orichalcum bullion from WTC #13 to…well, I’d say but they’d kill me retroactively, so there’s no reason to even try. -Joe ---

Fool! The Illuminati don’t deal in magic. They don’t stockpile orichalcum. The ROSICRUCIANS stockpile orichalcum! Where are your astral wards NOW? ---

OK - I admit it. I pulled it down. But it sounded like a good idea at the time. ---

CLEARLY WTC7 was an evil Taliban AT-AT and the cables were attached to our brave American snowspeeders. ---

Typical liberal-commie-atheist buying into what the government wants you to believe about wombats. My exhaustive studies have proven that Wombats have absurdly high metachlorian ratings. They don’t \*need \*cables. ---

I just saw a special on 9/11 that was a lot of little seen video, a lot of it looks like private webcam kind of stuff but the point is, it wasn’t CNN or anything like that. One segment of the show was a few minutes of someone going into the lobby of WTC 7 after it was evacuated but before it collapsed obviously. This is something I had not realized and had never seen anyone mention it, but the lobby of that building was rubble. They guy went up an escalator and was met by a security guard who turned him back, but it was obvious that the place had major damage that happened as a result of the towers being hit, or falling (not sure what time it was, so I don’t know if the towers had come down yet, although I would think not, surely the whole area was closed off after that). Anyway, to me, it was just more proof the truffers are wrong, that place didn’t come down from some preparation, it just got whacked by peripheral damage from a few airplanes hitting the place next door. ---

What I really want to know is: what did they do with WTC8? Not a mention on Wikipedia, nothing on GoogleMaps … So what’s the real story? I mean … _It’s like it never existed._ [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-wtc-7-sabotaged/553649.md?page=2)
