Regardless, no matter how many or how the structural supports were affected, the building should not or could not have fallen symmetrically - the symmetry is the week point of any argument, especially three times in one day.
"Most likely" and other suppositions are as convincing as demolition possibles without the science, which NIST was unable to provide...
Again, "possibles" and maybes and such isn't much stronger than truther theory, and much less credible than scientific analysis of powder remain (the thermate thing).
Regardless, you can't explain the multiple symmetry of all three first-time collapse occurences that day...
This would be fin if 20-tonne pieces of the WTC towers weren't flung 600 feet away.
Also, if your pile-driver theory were valid, why would it take so little time? What you're advocating is that somehow uncompromised floors reacted the same as compromized/weakened floors, and that the whole thing could have fallen in ten seconds instead of 100 or so seconds, if it took about one second per floor as it should have if the 9already discredited0 pancake theory were valid.
Ok so the lower floors were uncompromised, even still presurrized - so why did they fall or collapse so easily?
There is in fact not really a "logical explanation" for most of what happened, without new qustions arising each and every time. What bugs me about all this is the huge amount of unanswered questions, from the building construct to the family members who have simply been ignored.
Well, back when the US was friends with the Taliban, they were needing security for the pipeline. Now with permanent bases they've gotten that security.
But Afghanistan was just a rehearsal for Iraq, and meant to look like they were hunting for bin Laden. Of course that's my conjecture and I could provide lots of links that refer to that,, but that doesn't have that much to do with the 9/11 attacks directly...
:D
