Ok. I've been looking for an opportunity to ask - I can't find on search anymore...

What was the official narrative (at the time, or now?) for building 7. I recall they said a boiler explosion? Am I right? I was talking to my GF about it and couldn't find anything to confirm that memory...

I haven't looked at it in a while, but I remember seeing plenty of videos showing smoke pouring out of that building's windows long before it ever collapsed. The leading theory behind its straight-down collapse is that its internal supports were destroyed by a prolonged fire and eventually the building crumbled under its own weight. And the fire got started by debris from the other buildings if I recall correctly.

They said that the collapse of the Twin Towers made the ground unstable, even though it was just that 1 surrounding building that collapsed. Other people said it was a fire.
