Is there anyone among you more technically (construction) egineered that to a layman
can explain why the buildings actually collapsed. I mean constructionwise.
Is the sheer weight, the pressure from the collapsed top floors falling down on the
ones below, enough to cause the total collapse?
Is there anything in the way they are constructed that would have prevented the
buildings from falling over (like falling on surrounding areas)?
(However, we can be grateful for the amount of time it actually did withstand before
collapsing, which probably gave some thousands (?) of people the chance to get out
alive from there alive.)
