I know of that, but what about the people filming it running away, why weren't their cameras affected? Better yet, why were the firefighters caught
in WTC 1 as it came down and survived, why weren't their radios EM pulsed?
It depends on how many electrons were initially released (the density of the flux), and what is in between any of the two points that can induct
current. Also which direction the electrons were sent out, if shaping is possible. Even if not possible, you would essentially have the same effect
just by having so many floors of building still standing below, with all kinds of things that could soak up the currents. I really don't think there
would have been THAT many electrons sent out to begin with, though.
If something can induct current, it can take away from the flux density. If the density is decreased enough, it can safely be inducted into circuits
without destroying components. The important thing is that the power ratings of the components have to be exceeded, that's when they fail, explode,
catch on fire, etc., at least if exposed to a high enough current or over a long enough time.
There
was electrical/electronic damage that had to be replaced after 9/11, for example, in the building right next door to WTC7 there was major
electronic destruction, millions of dollars of repairs, in the Verizon Building (NOT physically destroyed by debris). But the more mass that can
conduct electricity between these points within the buildings, and any electronics, the more the flux density will be reduced. Even within the towers
there was probably plenty of conductors to induct much of the currents.
