This is not another conspiracy thread about what happened on 9:11, but it is very legitimate concern I met yet another American today who was surprised when I mentioned building 7 talking about 9:11 attacks. the people who know all the details about muslim mullahs, quran and the promisse of 72 virgins, what kind of movies Saddam liked, and many other details. WTC7 was a 42 story building that collapsed on that same day of 9:11 without being hit by planes, and it collapsed straight down. and people do not know it because the media never talks about it. WHY, is a very big mystery to me: two main towers that were hit by planes then collapsed were shown without commercials for months on the media, but WTC7 was barely mentioned as if it was not part of the program, not part of the plan. that is why people do not know about it. using plain logic if we care about the buildings that collapsed because the planes hit them, we should care just as much about the collapsed building that was not hit by planes, unless there was some secret plot to put emphasis on the buildings destroyed by planes.

It sounds like a thinly disguised (hell, g-string thin to be frank) attempt to start a Truther conspiracy thread by how you framed it, though.

It's worth one post to me to answer your question in a non-Truther conspiracy fostering fashion just in case you genuinely aren't intending it. I'll offer at least four reasonable differences for explaining the status difference in public mindsets IMO:

1) WTC7 finally collapsed in the evening long after the attacks were over. Therefore the initial shock of remembrance isn't as strong in one's mindset as the actual attack events and sites such as WTC1 and WTC2.

2) WTC7 was collateral damage to the actual intended targets at the site, namely WTC1 and WTC2. That's the same thing regarding all the other WTC complex buildings given all of them were destroyed given the collapse of WTC1 and WTC2. Other non-WTC buildings were also destroyed with another requiring deconstruction (the Deutsche Bank tower).

3) Nobody was killed at WTC7 unlike WTC1 and WTC2 given anyone in it had long evacuated the building. To the contrary, the WTC1 and WTC2 attacks caused massive loss of civilian life in the towers and planes and city employee lives who assisted in the rescue, fire and other emergency response attempts.

4) WTC7 did not have an iconic place in national and international imagery. To the contrary, like the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building in Midtown, the WTC1 and WTC2 very much had that effect as core defining buildings to NYC's modern appearance and skyline and its economic vibrancy and importance. If anything, the city looks sadly 'smaller' since the loss of the Twin Towers as they shaped and balanced out the Manhattan skyline so well in conjunction with the downtown financial district and the Midtown business superstructures.
