    Sorry, but you should know by now that we don't accept that.

    Dear god, how deep does this conspiracy go?

    I doubt this will change anyone's mind and I've already spent years debating with 911 truthers and you can explain them all the physics and engineering and they will double down on their denial as we see here.

    For those interested though NOVA did a very good piece on this including looking at the construction of the WTC towers, and no they are not pyramids. They were basically a tube within a tube with the floor plate structure tying the tubes together. This was a pretty revolutionary design at the time. Also the two towers didn't collapse the same way because of the how the structures were damaged differently from the impacts.

    WTC 7 was a more standard structure of floor slabs with columns in between. My understanding is that the collapse of WTC 7 was that both the above ground structure and foundation was seriously undermined. For people who had never been to the WTC complex there is much more to it than what was seen above ground. There were several levels below ground and when the towers fell they collapsed all of those levels too damaging many other structures.
