Whole lotta steel there.

I can't understand how anyone can look at the videos and say that it pancaked.
L@@K at the debris as it falls it is showering and not adding weight to the top to cause pancaking so that leaves only the one other thing. Planted explosives.
If it was pancaked because of a few floors adding weight to it then should'nt the building have fell when the lower floors were blown away in 1993 after all reinforced floors almost 30 inches thick were blasted away on 3 levels below grade, plus a concourse level floor, leaving a crater about 150 feet in diameter.

If you look at this video
you can clearly see that there was some type of explosion at ground level before the collapse. And please don't try to tell me that was parts of the plane that were burning on the ground because it would have been immediately extinguished upon arrival by NYFD.
Hey great stuff Lanotom, i have never seen this video before. It's undisputable now, this smoke at the bottom of the building plays directly into Rodriguez's claims.
Like video evidence baby!..

If you look closely, you will see that there are four tower cranes. The mast for each tower crane is located in the corner of the core. THese masts were later removed after the building was topped off. In addition to the four masts, you will see that in this section of the construction, there appears to be four trusses in a box shape linking the four towers together. This is the very top section steel that you see in the core area of the above photo. This was also not part of the final structure.

sorry lanotom
he is right.
in this pic or early construction you can see the crane supports, these would have been moved up as each new level was completed.
however this does not mean that the buildings were brought down by the planes. the biggest hole in the official version is still the wtc7 collaps.

That is ridiculous. That was part of the as-built construction.
That would be like saying a framed house was built and after the roof was laid they removed all the framing.
Prove to me that anything more then the cranes atop the steel mast were removed and I will agree but I am not taking your simple word for it. Prove it.
