That makes your comical and physically impossible claim that
random fires and asymmetric damage caused the virtual free
fall speed symmetric, and explosive collapse of the towers
even more absurd and laughable. You're actually trying to tell
us that random damage and fires are more likely to produce a
symmetric and free fall collapse of a steel framed skyscraper
than a skillfully planned and executed controlled demolition.
That's so far fetched and silly that you must be trolling. You
=simply= can't be that stupid.
The massive steel frames of the towers were far too strong to
collapse only under their own weight. That's been proven with
physics, and that's why no other steel framed buildings have
ever collapsed that way unless they were demolished.
See Gordon Ross' excellent paper on momentum transfer on this
page:

As common sense would dictate, even if all the perimeter and
core columns near the top of the tower were somehow destroyed
simultaneously so that the top 20 stories or so dropped onto the
remaining undamaged frame, after some bending and compression,
the collapse would have stopped, or the upper block would have
fallen off to the side. Gordon Ross proves that with physics.
To believe that the towers could fall through themselves at virtual
free fall speed and in perfect symmetry is comical nonsense. What you
are saying, is that falling directly =through= the massive undamaged
steel frames, including the 47 interconnected central core columns:

provided little more resistance than air. This is proven by the
fact that debris falling outside the towers hit the ground about the
same time as the debris falling through the towers. Making your
theory even more impossible, is the fact that the steel at the top
of the towers was ten times lighter and thinner than the undamaged
steel in the lower section.
Your magic fire conspiracy theory is an utterly idiotic and
comical fantasy - and it violates the laws of physics.
Look at the massive core column cross section in the
bottom photo.
http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/arch/core.html
Your magic fire theory says that crushing 47 of those bad boys,
all interconnected with even more steel, =and= destroying all the
perimeter columns, =and= "pancaking" all the floors, produced
about the same kinetic friction as falling though air. That's some
crazy, crazy, shit, Rob. It's amazing what some people can programmed
to believe.
Also, notice the severely twisted steel beams in the bottom
photo. No shattering, no popping, and no exploding. Like I
said, it just bends.

to raging infernos for hours on end.

On 9-11-01, WTC7, a 47 story steel framed building, which
had only small, random fires, dropped in perfect symmetry
at near free fall speed as in a perfectly executed controlled
demolition.
