Sigh,
Sharpen your pencil Warren and follow along as best you can.

Hyperbole, lots thereof -- but where are the facts, the figures, etc.?
Just one example:
"Molten steel unearthed six months after the collapse displays energy
levels simple kinetic forces cannot foster."
Quantify, please.
Free-falling from WTC heights
The towers were 1350 and 1360 feet tall. So let's start by using our
trusty free-fall equation to see how long it should take an object to
free-fall from the towers' former height.
Distance = 1/2 x Gravity x Time(squared)
or
Time(squared) = (2 x Distance) / Gravity
Time(squared) = 2710 / 32 = 84.7
Time = 9.2
So our equation tells us that it will take 9.2 seconds to free-fall to
the ground from the towers' former height. Using the simple equation,
V = GT, we can see that at 9.2 seconds, in order to reach the ground in
9.2 seconds, the free-falling object's velocity must be about 295
ft/sec, which is just over 200 mph.
But that can only occur in a vacuum.
Did the floors below use pixie-dust to magically slide out of the way
of the ones above them, taking internal sea-level air resistance within
them for a joy ride? BTW - leaving a residue of space-vacuum so as not
to impede the collapsing upper stories. Since the overbuilt steel
structures that had held for almost 40 years were suddenly NO {as in
none, nil, nada} impediment we can only assume the internal structure
was abnormally affected throughout the building.

On the behalf of Mr Gibson:
Greetings,
Embrace the horror. Face our fears.

Wonderfully insightful {incite-full?} commentary, a tactic which adds
so-o-o much to a conversation one doesn't wish to have. Why bother
responding to me at all?
Where are your figures to back up the grand sweeps of certainty you
dispense?
Where's the money-quote from the designer - or even original owners -
that stated this was a disposable building & their biz plan anticipated
the investment would be past it's shelf-life by the beginning of this
millennia?
Neener-neener,
