I must agree with other posters and say "poor, poor newton"
Of course you are forgetting gravity in your ideas how the towers should have fallen according to newton. Its a force. quite relevant in this case
actually, accelerating everything towards down with almost 10 meters per second squared.

And of course you are forgetting
resistance, and a few other laws of physics.
The whole CD theory hinges on the
fact that the buildings, all 3, fell at a speed that indicated there was no resistance hindering the
collapses.
It's really convenient to the official story to forget that fact.
So why has neither the official story, or you, been able to explain this lack of resistance?
How did thousands of tons of steel, welded and bolted, just give way without slowing down the collapses?
Have you even looked into WTC2 and the tilting of the top section? How do you explain angular momentum being defied when according to NEWTON, who you
claim to know so well, angular momentum cannot be changed without an external unbalanced force acting on it?
I don't think you understand Newton as much as you think you do.
See this thread, your chance to prove me wrong. I'd love to hear
your expert opinion...

ANOK I added this post to your thread to get the ball rolling again. The south tower is a fascinating subject, and you investigators have some great
material on that thread.
Angular momentum toppling to the east
Top 30 floors toppling towards east side
Is this about how the top 30 floors looked just prior to disappearing? It would seem that milliseconds before this position, the massive core
structure was not sheared yet and perhaps bending or ripping sideways through the upper 30 story
block of floors. To release the
block,
the core needed to shear entirely through or break off. I cannot imagine that massive core structure breaking off even if it was slightly damaged by
the aircraft. Presumably either action would result in the
block toppling off the top of the tower and landing next to the base below.
However it seems to me, that shearing that core structure at that dividing line would also collapse the entire
block ending the angular
momentum toppling effect. Additional explosives at regular intervals would hasten the top-down explosive demolition at near freefall speed.
Was that toppling
block planned, or did it almost get away from them? In the following video, what looks like cutter charges can be seen going
off while the
block is toppling and not falling or disintegrating.
Slow motion video shows cutter charges 38 seconds into video in lower left of building and later on in the front and finally the upper right hand of
the video.

This is another in a series of kinematic analysis videos of events in the World Trade Center "collapses." This video was provided to me by
"plaguepuppy." It measures two ejections from the side of the South Tower at over 100 miles per hour.

This is a movie of the collapse of the South Tower of the World Trade Center taken with a hand-held camera. In the original video, the camera is
moving wildly, so the details of the collapsing building are hard to see.
To make it easier to study the details of the collapse, I separated the movie frame-by-frame and wrote a program to transform the images in such a way
that the image of the building remains fixed, even though the camera is moving. I then reassembled the sequence of still frames into a slow-motion
version of the movie.
