The spokesman refused to speculate on the possibility that the satellite may be shot down by a missile to prevent any debris causing damage.
If the US government elected not to use that method to destroy the errant satellite, then it could opt instead to employ America’s new laser weapons for use against incoming missiles, which are now being tested on board a modified Boeing jumbo jet.

The thing on the first link you were talking about sounds more like the conventional EM weapon I had in mind. Those are relatively low-power. The second link just looks like a physics text on electrodynamics. What specifically were you looking at in regards to interaction with steel in a way that can physically cut it?

The energy will penetrate walls and the exterior of human bodies. If we notice the buldings, it starts high and continues downward. That means someone can be running a broad laser beam the width or length of a building all the way down to the ground. Or could be running it the length or width of nothing but the cores, and expect gravity to do the rest. Which did not happen in the case of the twin towers. The beam can be any length, width, depth, height anyone sets it. It is invisible to the naked eye, as long as there is no contrast color surrounding it.
Lasers can penentrate solid objects. No different than medically used gamma and x-rays on our human bodies. We do not see those either but we see the results on film.
As the weight was dropping before also being disintegrated, the outside double steel walls were exploding outward off the buildings, on the sides we could see. What was happening to them on the sides we could not see? Were they being disintegrated as well?
How many sections of the outside facade and exterior tube wall sections were actually found fully or partially intact? Compared to what was on the buildings before almost complete disintegration. That matters a great deal in proper analysis and evaluation of what actually did happen on 9/11/2001.
When I saw photos of what is supposed to be the immediate aftermath, there were nowhere near enough facade and exterior frames section to equal what was actually used on both those towers. Nor were the entire piles, of either building tall, wide, deep or high enough to attempt to reconstruct even three stories of either tower, in part not whole.
Where did all that highly redundantly used steel go? It was not hauled off, because it was not there to haul off, according to photos purported to be the immediate aftermath of two completely dropped twin towers.

That's my point. Have you ever looked at where the perimeter columns actually failed, or the core columns actually failed, in photographs of Ground Zero? If so, how do you reconcile those failures (clean horizontal slices in core columns and failures at the bolts in perimeter column sections for the most part) with an EM beam that you say is destroying the towers by either thermal energy or kinetic energy, if the beam is passing through all this junk on the way down but apparently leaving it intact? Why does the kinetic energy not destroy the roof before the impacted floors start falling? Where is the beam coming from?
