I've already encountered much of the "debunking" literature. Most of it successfully debunks several straw man arguments, but nothing debunks the laws of physics. Building 7 in freefall is a smoking gun. BTW, NIST eventually admitted it was in freefall.

I have to admit that building 7 freefall is extremely strange.
However, is there footage from the other side of that building? Apparently, the collapse of the center of the building happened first, sort of leaving a shell that started collapsing about 1-2 seconds after. I believe this scenario is supported by the few images I have seen of the damage before collapse. Put another way, half the building started falling and then the other half began. This seems like a possible reason for the freefall.

Yes, but consider that whatever was holding up the proportion of the building we see must have had at least some structural integrity to maintain its full height. The free-fall at any point means that there was zero structural support. So, even if part of the building was falling away out of view, the parts that we see could not have happened without complete and instantaneous removal of all remaining structural support. No matter which way you look at this, building 7 is a smoking gun.
As soon as one begins to dig further (ignoring all the noise and bullshit surrounding this whole topic, which is voluminous to say the least), lots of other questions come up. One that comes to mind is the removal and immediate destruction of all the steel (recycled in China). I would like to see the FEMA footage, or to know the whereabouts of the videographer. Anyway, there is a heap of bullshit claims surrounding these events (including that towers 1 & 2 "fell at free-fall speed", which is demonstrably false), so it is very important to remain skeptical of any claims. Do your own research, and you will discover many more questions than answers. Very important unanswered questions.
