What Went Down With Building 7
lynchfilmlover20 March 2014
Warning: Spoilers
As a collector of various informative, so called, conspiracy films, this is one of the better ones. Albeit most tread the same ground, of course, each film has their own merits making them worth watching.

This one, with some good merits has some down points too. More on that later. Directed and co-written by William Lewis and co-written and narrated by Dave von Kleist, this, I believe was a video released on the internet coming from the same makers of the film 9/11: In Plane Site. I will review that film in the future.

Kleist comes across very good and professional as you would expect. However, the last twenty minutes of the film are basically a recap of what we have seen. This means, not only could the film have been shorter but also the narration begins to become monotonous. Don't get me wrong, there are big gaps where there are no narration and just talking heads, it is just that the film could have done with hidden narrators in the same ilk as the Loose Change series, another round of films that I will review at a later date.

The films main chapter points include discussions about the following areas: The possible pods under the planes, whether the towers collapsed or were controlled demolitions, where the plane wreckage was at both the Pentagon and Pennsylvania and various others things. Notably the first chapter regarding pods was dropped from subsequent editions of Loose Change. It is still worth a discussion due to the suspicious, if ambiguous, appendages on the underside of the planes and the light flashes seen milliseconds before both planes hot the towers.

It does have a good section of propaganda and gives good proof with some interviews showing that the person being interviewed wasn't allowed to speak and also were belittled and spoken over.

Other good sections include a brief discussion on the freefall collapse of World Trade Center 7. One thing that stands out for me is the BBC airing the fact that WTC7 feel, twenty minutes before it actually fell! There is commonly accessible footage of the new report and as she is conveying the collapse, the building can clearly be seen still standing behind her. It doesn't however show footage seen in other films where the next time they go over, the signal is suspectly pulled. This can be seen in other films.

As a postscript, one of the big surprises is the song over the end credits by Martin Noakes. The song 'WTC Building 7', with the right promotion could easily be a hit as the music and lyrics are outstanding. Even if you don#t want to watch the film, search out the song.

I would assume that as this is a lesser know, though credited as one of the best 9/11 films out there, and the fact that til now, there were no reviews, most people who have an interest will have probably seen In Plane Site or my favourite, the Loose Change series. Having said that, search this out. It is a good add to your knowledge of questions needing answers regarding 9/11
