Could you please point out where the "The major fire-induced collapse that occurred in WTC 5 ", actually was as I can only see what appears to be collision induced collapse from WTC's 1 & 2 ejecta which huge chunks of, can clearly be seen at the collapse points?
Perhaps these collapsed sections had absolutely nothing to do with the raging fire and had 5 not been hit by debris would have been burned out but with minor or no collapse.
Even so, it is a testament to the robustness of 5 that a good 85 to 90%, (personal estimate) remained standing despite a protracted blazing inferno and multiple massive strikes.
And yet 7 is supposed to have collapsed completely from relatively small fires and minimal ejecta damage.
Result in total collapse

I take it we are supposed to believe there is special significance to WTC 7? It isn't the only building which had a structural failure due to fire: "The major fire-induced collapse that occurred in WTC 5 involved the portion of the building that had Gerber framing (girder stubs welded to columns, and simply supported central girder spans with shear connections to the ends of the stubs (Figure 2)), but not other areas of the building where girders spanned the full distance between columns. This fact, and observations at the site suggesting that the failure was early in the fire, raised the possibility that this structure had a vulnerability that led to premature failure, perhaps during the heating phase of the fire." http://www.structuremag.org/article.aspx?articleID=525
In what way was WTC7's collapse symetrical? Chris Mohr explains in this video that it wasn't : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnoto0GyEkM
