What WTC7 could have looked like
Not all buildings collapse in the same manner.

I wonder why the upper floors remained a solid block and didn't just collapse after the bottom portion of the building was removed?

1. It could have looked like that if......................
it was constructed the same way and had explosives planted to demolish.

But it didn't.

2. So if the bottom half of WTC7 was demoed, the top half would have remained intact?

The top half would have fallen to the ground and not broken up?

4. Because it was not a steel framed building but made out of concrete?
that would be my guess. And the upper floors weighed less and had less PE?
