My words were "utterly destroy," not simply harm. You're suggesting the utter destruction was not from the collapse, despite the fate of the
concrete slabs, which were completely and thoroughly turned to dust during the collapses.
It wasn't all pulverized. The drywall was, certainly, but the floor slabs were only 4" thick and consisted of lightweight concrete.
110 stories, x 4" = 36' 8"
Add to this, the fact that the debris collapsed down into the basement and you will realize that most of the concrete was still there in the "pile."
the "concrete slabs" were actually "concrete and steel slabs". the concrete was poured onto the steel, remember? it can't just end up in a pile
of just concrete. unless of course there was some kind of super duper centrifuge caused by the elevator shaft's static pressure, which seperated the
concrete from the steel.
how DID the concrete get seperated from the steel? must have been the explosives they poured in with the concrete when the towers were built.
something about seawater being used to increase the shelf life of the c4?
