cutting charges are bolted onto the girder to prevent dislodging during the collapse. i know this to be true because i've seen videos on how charges are placed in a building to be demolished. the vidoe also demonstrated that wire cables are used to aid in the collapse. these cables run from the perimeter of the building to the cut member so that the building collapses as intended.
who reported seeing these cables tony?
All controlled demolitions aren't performed with cables and the charges do not have to be bolted to the columns. There are other ways of fastening.
publish in december 2008? hardly a first hand account.
The fact that forensic testing wasn't performed on the steel from WTC 7 and the twin towers is a reality no matter when the point is made.
taken out of context.
the video cuts off immediately after the word seven.
what wasn't he able to do scott? pick up each piece and examine it?
photograph extensively?
look at each piece?
look at each element?
i have no idea what this has to do with explosives or even if it's true.
Scott isn't taking Barnett out of context. Here is a link to the entire video with the part in question starting at the 3:00 minute mark.

It isn't cut off here and Jonathan Barnett discusses just what you appear to be imagining. It is true that they weren't allowed to investigate WTC 7's collapse in a normal way. Any claim that this was due to search and rescue isn't legitimate as nobody was injured or killed in WTC 7's collapse.
