explain what alternate explanation should supersede the root cause of the towers collapse was impact/fire/thermal stress damage?
It is clear the energy far exceeded the gravitational potential energy of the building.
It is utterly impossible for a "gravitational collapse" to proceed so destructively through a path of such great resistance in anywhere near free-fall times.

3WHAT ABOUT THE ALMOST FREE-FALL COLLAPSE OF THE TWIN TOWERS? The key is the “almost” modifier. If I told you I was making almost $100,000 and you found out I was making only $67,000, you’d say I was exaggerating. So stop exaggerating the collapse speed of the WTC Towers! The 80,000 tons of structural steel slowed down the collapses of the Twin Towers to about ⅔ (two-thirds) of free-fall.3 And the core collapsed at about 40% of free-fall speed, coming down last.4 According to Richard Gage: “To bring a building symmetrically down, what we have to do is remove the core columns.” But on 9/11 the stronger core columns came down last, which violates this supposed most fundamental rule of controlled demolition.

The falling upper 29 or 11 stores only had to fall through one floor at a time? And after each floor failed, the falling mass became more massive. What was the load capacity of the floor connections to the vertical columns for each floor?

So all the rubble from all the floors that added to the mass were directly on top of the footprint of the tower foundation?
Thats not what I saw or what you said happened with all the lateral ejection.
How about you and your nobody friends go away and come back with a unified theory.

No steel framed building had collapsed because of fire in the history of steel buildings................until three buildings did on the day of 911. Do you believe in miracles?
So while gravity is nearly strong enough to cause some things to fall that far, through air, in the observed interval, and while gravity is probably not strong enough to have so thoroughly disintegrated the towers under their own weight, gravity is certainly not strong enough to have done both at once.

gravity combined with the kinetic energy created by all the tonnes of building that was above coming down.
Its funny how its said by conspiracy theorists that only fire brought down the buildings,
and
when they fell, they fell into their own footprint,
I don't understand how anyone rational that isn't being paid to push 9/11 conspiracies for some fools youtube site or for some other nefarious reason can say such nonsense.
I guess we do live in a world where things need to be simplified for more and more because tech is evolving but the human mind using that tech seems to be de-volving,
It seems like thinking is an option some have left behind when the had their awakening.

Sad to to conspiracists destroy their credibility by playing word games to try to create false arguments.
Sad to see conspiracists gloat in their false authority, false arguments, and pseudoscience.

And what was that theory you posted that should supersede impact / fire / thermal stress was the root cause of the inward bowing and buckling of vertical columns initiating collapse as caught in the video record?
What was your riveting and inspiring thread that listed the evidence off clues that should have trigger the forensic teams investigating to look for explosives? Was It there being no video / audio evidence of pressure waves with the energy to cut steel columns. No demolitions shrapnel and bomb fragments recovered with the victims of 9/11? No steel worked on by planted charges? Or no evidence steel columns were cut by a floor to floor system of planted explosives that would have never survived the impacts and fires?
And if there was no investigation into the WTC steel / rubble, how was 19,000 pieces of human remains recovered by forensic teams of cops, firefighters, and FBI? Why was the WTC steel identified and taken for examination at fresh kills? Why are there recorded tests of the steel? Remember, you argument is the WTC pile was not treated as a crime scene at all? The WTC steel / rubble was not examined at all. No effort what so ever? Why the total false argument there was no investigation into the WTC rubble / steel? Why hide the truth. Afraid it of opening Pandora’s Box that reveals the total fraud centering around pushing planted explosives at the WTC? And you what to point to people in this thread and make false accusations?
