A rock dropped from the top of either tower would have taken approximately 9 seconds to hit the ground.... free fall. Both towers fell in the same time frame 9 and 10 seconds approximately... free fall.
ANY resistance from 'pan caking' or structural failure would have shown up in a significant increase in collapse time... several orders of magnitude more. And that is not even touching the fact that the resulting SYMMETRICAL damage profile is completely wrong for that hypothesis. Crash 10 fully fueled 767s into it if you want. You would never get even the worst tower ever built to collapse like that. The ONLY way for ANY structure like that to free fall collapse completely is staged demolition. All supports removed in an instant from top to bottom at regular intervals. Period. Those buildings were dropped (and nicely in one spot too). By who, why, or how is all a matter of conjecture after one recognizes that basic mathematical observation. NOT conspiracy theory. NOT arm chair science. No 'experts' needed. Simple math.

Let me say something here, people: This is a science forum. Please apply a modicum of quantitative thinking, basic physics and common sense to your assertions. You should realize that airplanes are much larger now than they were in 1945, and therefore the kinetic energy from an airplane crash is much greater. - Jed
