It'd explain why the concrete turned into dust...
But I'm not so sure that that's true...

Some will be known to you for sure...

...... gaining resistance
So for a "global collapse" to continue evenly down the length of the building there needs to be weight added to the collapse with every floor on its way down.
If the concrete is being ejected from the building,

Besides the NIST report reeks of limited liability. They do not have to stand behind a single conclusion since it is mentioned in the report numerous times that the results were limited to a small amount of debris evidence as well as limits in time and money.
They were not even paid enough to provide a visual simulation of the results but my guess is because it would have looked ridiculous and unbelievable as all the amatuer attempts to make one were.

They ran out of funds when someone mentioned 'molten metal'

Same old argument, same old misguided science and witness statements.
I am open to the possibility that something untoward happened. But for you people to hash up the same old tired stories is boring. Half the science used to claim "inside job" is so far off and made to fit a theory.
And all those saying we have 1900 engineers and architects to attest...yeah who cares seeming that is under 1 percent of total registered across the US. So when those numbers are truly looked at it means nothing...except the other 99 percent of engineers and architects are laughing at their stupid peers.

No, no and thrice no.
It was a bunch of poorly trained Arab terrorists, expertly guiding the planes into the towers. Okay, it was the first case of steel structured building to collapse because of fire, but this was an unprecedented event.
Did you know that on the morning of 9/11 Rumsfeld was in a security meeting at the Pentagon trying to secure funding for further security measures against acts of terrorism, when the plane was expertly flown into it? Can you imagine how the conversation turned once the attack occurred?
Good ole Don raced to the scene, rolled up his sleeves and got on with aiding the injured.

1% of an entire industry has COME FORWARD to voice their opinion. For you to assume the other 99% disagree with them is quite misleading.
When peddling his 9/11 claptrap Richard Gage's name is inevitably followed by the initials “AIA” obviously meant to suggest that the AIA (American Institute of Architects) endorses his views and/or that membership in the group is some sort of special honor like being a member of the National Academy of Sciences or Royal Society. But the truth is that full membership in the AIA is open to anyone with a valid US architects license who pays their (tax deductible) dues [1] and the group has fully accepted the “NIST report and recommendations” [2]. Gage obviously knows the former and has acknowledged he was aware of the latter in a letter to the group's president.[3]. The president and board had told him, "We believe that the NIST investigation and the resulting NIST report are valid and credible” [4]. So his use of the acronym is obviously a misleading attempt to beef up his credibility or perhaps he suffers from initial envy and like Fetzer, Jones, Griffin and other prominent truthers wanted the right to string three letters after his name. The group at least once (apparently privately) advised him not to create the impression there was any link between them and his group AE911T [5] But the AIA never AFAIK specifically and publicly disavowed Gage's views.
Not that is until now. Scott Frank, head of media relations for the AIA, told veteran journalist Jeremy Stahl writing for Architect, the group's magazine, “We don’t have any relationship with his organization whatsoever”, “It is somewhat troubling that he sort of portrays the notion that we have a relationship when we certainly do not” and “there is absolutely zero relationship … [between our groups], nor will there ever be in the future.” [6]
Gage recently wrapped up his 'WORLD PREMIERE TOUR “9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out” Final Edition', which included an event at the AIA's national HQ in Washington D.C. and tried to make it seem as if this indicated some sort of endorsement of his views but “acknowledged that this was not an official AIA event but a rented space open to all members of the public, adding that he feels he hasn’t been given his proper due by the organization in the past.” [7]
Though this seems to have been the first time the national organization specifically rejected Gage's snake oil. Rick Bell head of the group's NY chapter who witnessed 9/11 said of Gage, “the professional community discredits this guy. We rent to just about anybody but if this guy came to me I’d say we don’t want your money, we don’t want you in our building.” [8] Gary Kohn chairman of KPF, NY's largest architectural firm and 'the AIA’s spokesman in the aftermath of the attacks, called Gage’s theories “ridiculous”' [9]. In response to a controversy over renting one its room for one of Gage's presentation's the Royal Institute of British Architects stated “any perception that this event was associated with the RIBA is regrettable. We will be reviewing our policy on private hire of our building in the light of this event.” [10] The RIBA's former president also criticized the event [11]. While AFAIK they have not specifically said anything specifically about Gage and his gaggle but the chairman Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitats (CTBUH) said:
I see no credibilty whatsoever in the 911 truth movement and I believe, like the vast majority of tall building professionals, that all the failures at the WTC ( WTC 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7) were a direct or indirect result of the planes that were flown into the two towers. I have carefully looked at the evidence that the 911 truth movement presents and I cannot see any evidence of a controlled demolition. Unfortunately the 911truth movement web site does not allow any opinions contrary to their own, or I would have presented my views. [12]
The American Society of Civil Engineers also seems not to have specifically addressed controlled demolition theories but the report they prepared in conjunction with the Structural Engineers Association of NY (SEAoNY), other engineering associations and FEMA concluded that the towers collapsed due to the plane impacts and resulting fires and they later endorsed the far more through report and resultant recommendations prepared by NIST [13].

LOL - the laws of physics and reality were suspended that day -
Passport found in the rubble,
19 Saudi hijackers evaded the most sophisticated security in the world, had NORAD scratching their heads wondering if the whole damn thing was real or fake, which was apparently fake so they were stood-down.

All 3 of the buildings that were utterly pulverized by sudden destruction were also advertised in previous years as being some of the strongest buildings on earth,
