What research? This is the first of this magnitude. Nothing can be fact.

Maybe they should build a duplicate building in a desert and ram it with a plane so we can see what happens.


Thats not correct, we can look at steel buildings that have had longer fires and suffered structural damage and see that they did not collapse.

Also the Empire State building was hit by a B-25 , had structural damage and fires and it did not collapse.

As stated by the NIST and FEMA reports the buildings withstood the impacts by the planes. Also most of the fuel was burned off in the intial exploston outside the buildings, what was left burned off quickly. So that only leaves normal office fires as the cuase of the collapse, and we can research and see that no other steel building has collapsed from fire.

Fires Have Never Caused Skyscrapers to Collapse


Excepting the three 9-11 collapses, no fire, however severe, has ever caused a steel framed high-rise building to collapse. Following are examples of high-rise fires that were far more severe than those in WTC 1 and 2, and Building 7. In these precedents, the fires consumed multiple floors, produced extensive window breakage, exhibited large areas of emergent flames, and went on for several hours. The fires in the WTC towers did none of these things

First, I'd like to say that this is not "proof" that there was no CD.

Let me ask you some questions.

1. Theoretically, if somehow "they" were able to sever the core at certain locations, where do you think the collapse would initiate?

On the floors where the core was severed that had all exterior columns intact?

or

At the impact zone where the planes have damaged the exterior columns?

I'll give you my professional opinion (and you can find any engineer you want to dispute what I say). It would still collapse at the impact zone. Why? Because that is where the exterior columns were damaged and we all know that a chain breaks at it's weakest link.

To clarify. The loads were distributed fairly evenly I have heard between the core and the exterior columns. Take out the core and you are left with the exterior columns taking all the load. Since this and the plane damage would be enough for the tower to start to collapse, the collapse would initiate at the impact zones.

Without the core being taken out in some way (and I'll concede that it could have been the plane damage/jet fuel etc. that took out the core just for arguments sake here) the towers would not have globally collapsed.

Oh, BTW, it's an old video that I have seen a plethura of times.
