Yep, and the Devil is in the smoke if look at some pictures too.
A lot of people made their way down from the upper floors (above the impact points)through the building before the fires prevented any further escape as well.
Most of the jet fuel didn't burn up in the initial fireball because aviation kerosene doesn't flash off in an instant. It burns. The initial impact weakened the internal structure of the building, especially around the lift wells in the centre of the building. The majority of the so called fireproof insulation on the internal steelwork was stripped in the initial fireball and the ensuing building fires further weakened the structure. Once the internal sections began to slowly weaken and collapse, it was inevitable that the weight of the upper floors would cause a major collapse. Instead of just reading the conspiracy theories, read the engineers reports and other literature as well. Otherwise you will just be a sheeple as well.
I have read the conspiracy theories, watched the documentaries, read more reports and theories and etc etc.
My opinion is that they collapsed due to structural weakness caused by internal damage and heat from two huge aircraft that flew into the buildings at full throttle with full fuel tanks. It is also my opinion that there were no explosives involved and that the only involvement that the US govt had in the whole thing was their inaction when warned of an impending attack in the months leading up to 9/11.
But that's my opinion and it differs from yours.
The Meridian Plaza was a completely different structural design to WTC 7. Having said that
In reference to building 7, two blocks away (which might as well be a stones throw in terms of the size of the towers). The building contained, among other things, a plethora of generators and fuel tanks and other power generating equipment,making it a 'heavy' building. Further, it was built on an area that was designed for a building with a much smaller footprint. The load bearing design of the building was such that the load bearing was directed toward the centre of the building, over the original footprint position (look at the new building for an idea). My uneducated theory is that a combination of internal fires, structural weakness caused by impact from the North tower, and the unique load-bearing design of its foundations caused the final collapse. You have to remember that WTC 7 didn't collapse in one motion. It collapsed internally in sections over a number of hours. There was only one attempt to extinguish the internal fires that occured on multiple floors because the building was too dangerous to approach. The reason firefighters stayed away from the building is because it was 'bulging' not long after parts of the North tower hit it and caused major structural damage.
A report is due this year about the cause of collapse and I guess we'll know then. But in any event, it wasn't demolished with explosives, else the many people in the area at the time would have heard the explosions don't you think?
